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
Clinton Perry’s career with the Georgia Department of Corrections shows a progression from a Correction Administration role in 2015 through Correctional Superintendent in 2016, then a series of Warden positions from 2017 to 2021. All of these postings fall into facility-lead accountability tiers, though GPS records do not identify the specific institutions where Perry served. GPS records attribute zero in-custody deaths to Perry’s leadership tenures—no individual death records appear for any facility under his watch.Despite that, Perry was named as a defendant in two federal lawsuits filed during his warden tenure. The first, Bey v. Georgia Department of Corrections, was initiated in June 2019 while Perry was a Warden 3. The second, Clark v. Troutman, was filed in July 2022, after the conclusion of his last known warden post in 2021. Both cases were terminated by the court; neither resulted in a recorded monetary outcome. No news reports or intelligence documents in GPS’s database link Perry to systemic incidents or publicized allegations beyond these lawsuits.
What happened on their watch
Because GPS records do not associate Perry’s positions with named facilities, a facility-by-facility account cannot be constructed. Perry’s known leadership roles spanned 2016–2021 as Correctional Superintendent and then as Warden 1 and Warden 3. During that period, no deaths are recorded in the data that can be attributed to his command. The two lawsuits filed during his tenure—Bey v. Georgia Department of Corrections (2019) and Clark v. Troutman (2022)—allege claims against Perry and other defendants; the nature of the allegations is not detailed in the available case summaries. Neither lawsuit resulted in a settlement or judgment, and both were terminated without a payout recorded in the docket.Beyond these filings, no intelligence reports, facility-level events, or news mentions in GPS holdings pertain to Perry’s service. The absence of attributed deaths and the limited litigation record suggest a tenure without publicly documented fatalities under his direct leadership.
