Miller, Wendy

Tenure Summary

Wendy Miller's documented career at the Georgia Department of Corrections began in a clinical, non-supervisory track: behavioral health counselor at Telfair State Prison (2019–2020), then counselor roles at the Counselor 2 and Counselor 3 levels through 2023, including a 2023 posting at McRae Women's Facility and a Behavioral Health Counselor Supervisor title recorded at McRae on Nov. 22, 2023, with supervisor-level pay records continuing through 2024 and 2025. Her first leadership-tier position in these records is Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment at McRae Women's Facility, effective Jan. 16, 2026; a separate "Deputy Warden" title is recorded at the same facility on Aug. 27, 2026.

Four deaths are attributed to Miller's facility-leadership tenure, all at McRae Women's Facility, per the records reviewed by Georgia Prisoners' Speak. No lawsuits naming her as a defendant, no intelligence reports, and no news coverage naming her appear in those records. The records contain no findings of fault against her at any of these facilities, and none of the four deaths carries a published narrative account.

What happened on their watch

McRae Women's Facility — Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment (Jan. 16, 2026–present)

Four deaths of incarcerated women are recorded at McRae during Miller's tenure in this role, and all four are attributed to her leadership at that facility in the records reviewed by GPS:

• Beverly Suzannne Sipple, 59 — March 16, 2026
• Kristal Lyn Layne, 55 — May 10, 2026
• Shannon Michelle Rush, 43 — May 16, 2026
• Chasity King, 26 — May 18, 2026

All four are recorded under the same cause category in the incident data, and none has a public narrative attached. Three of the four — Layne, Rush and King — occurred within a nine-day span from May 10 to May 18, 2026. The ages at death ranged from 26 to 59. Because the deaths list is a most-recent sample rather than a full count, the four names above are the individual decedents recorded; the total attributed to this tenure is four, per the facility breakdown.

The records contain no intel reports or logged incidents at McRae dated inside Miller's deputy-warden tenure, no allegations attributed to her, and no news reports naming her.

Earlier roles (non-leadership)

Miller served as a Behavioral Health Counselor 1 and 2 at Telfair State Prison in 2019 and 2020, as a Counselor 2 in 2021 and Counselor 3 in 2022 without a facility listed, and as a Counselor 3 at McRae in 2023, before becoming a Behavioral Health Counselor Supervisor — recorded at McRae on Nov. 22, 2023, with supervisor pay records in 2024 and 2025. These were staff-tier positions; no deaths are attributed to them in the records reviewed by GPS, and the incident and intel lists supplied for those facilities cover only her leadership tenure, not these earlier periods.
