Nobles, Benjie

Tenure Summary

Benjie Nobles's documented Georgia Department of Corrections career, as compiled in GPS's personnel records, runs from a 2015 correctional-administration post through three years as a deputy warden (2016–2018) and into a three-year run as a Correctional Superintendent (2019–2021), the department's facility-leadership tier. The records list no facility assignment for any of these postings, and list Nobles as active. His salary line rose from $44,760.48 in 2015–2016 to $60,067.77 in 2019, before dropping to $38,585.55 in 2021.

The headline accountability fact is negative: zero deaths are attributed to any facility-leadership tenure held by Nobles. His file contains no per-facility death counts, no death records, no intel reports or intel events dated inside his leadership tenures, and no news coverage naming him. The one adverse record in the file is a federal lawsuit naming him as a defendant, filed in March 2019 while he held the Superintendent role.

What happened on their watch

Correctional Superintendent, 2019–2021 (three consecutive one-year personnel records). This is the only facility-leadership tier in Nobles's file. No facility is identified in the records for these years. GPS attributes no deaths to this tenure and holds no death rows, intel reports, or intel events dated within it. A lawsuit, Cox v. Nobles, was filed against him in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia on March 4, 2019 — during this tenure — and was terminated on March 31, 2020, with no outcome or settlement amount recorded. The available records do not state the claims made in that case, so nothing about its subject matter can be asserted here.

Deputy Warden, 2016–2018. Three consecutive personnel records at the facility-deputy tier, which is below the facility-leadership threshold. GPS's rules deliberately exclude non-leadership periods from its facility intel and event lists, so the absence of reports here carries no implication either way; the records state only the role, the years, and the salary progression from $44,760.48 (2016) to $55,023.84 (2018).

Correction Administration, 2015. A single personnel record at the staff tier, salary $44,760.48. Below leadership tier; no facility identified.
