Osborn, Sharon B
On GDC's 2025 payroll
Profile written September 23, 2026
This profile reflects positional accountability — this individual held the leadership roles shown during the dates shown, during which the listed deaths or lawsuits occurred. Inclusion does not constitute a legal finding of personal culpability for any specific incident.
Tenure Summary
Sharon B. Osborn's documented career with the Georgia Department of Corrections runs from behavioral-health staff work into facility leadership, according to the personnel and salary records compiled for this profile. She served as a BEH Health/Counselor (WL) in 2015, as a Behavioral Health Counselor 2 from 2016 through 2018, and as a Behavioral Health Counselor Supervisor from 2019 through 2022 — all staff-tier positions with no facility assignment listed in the records. In 2023 she moved into the facility-leadership tier as a Deputy Warden, a title carried on the salary records through 2025.
The facility-linked leadership record places her as Deputy Warden at Autry State Prison (facility ID 14), with entries dated Nov. 22, 2023 and Aug. 27, 2026. No deaths are attributed to any facility leadership posting she has held: the total number of deaths attributed to her leadership tenure is zero, and the record contains no per-facility death counts, no intel reports, no intel events, and no news mentions naming her. Because there are no deaths attributed to her watch, no on-the-watch death narrative can be written for Osborn. This says nothing about periods of her career spent outside a facility leadership role; for those, the records state the position and dates only.
What happened on their watch
Deputy Warden, Autry State Prison (facility-linked entries dated Nov. 22, 2023 and Aug. 27, 2026). No deaths are attributed to Osborn during this posting, and the records contain no intel reports, intel events, or news items dated inside her tenure there. Nothing in the provided records documents a death, disturbance, or finding at Autry State Prison tied to her time as Deputy Warden.
Her earlier non-leadership roles carry only position and dates in the records: BEH Health/Counselor (WL), 2015; Behavioral Health Counselor 2, 2016–2018; Behavioral Health Counselor Supervisor, 2019–2022. No facility is listed against those years, and no death, intel report, event, or news mention is recorded for them.
