What happened on their watch

Riverbend Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility — Warden, from January 1, 2024 (ongoing). Three deaths are attributed to this posting. The earliest is Jimmy Ray Teems, age 54, recorded April 5, 2024. Jere Hunt Horne, age 64, is recorded June 28, 2024. Marquavious Knox is recorded August 10, 2026, with no age listed. All three entries fall under the same cause classification in the records; the provided data does not define that category and includes no public narrative for any of the three. Because these are the only deaths attributed to a Phams-led facility, no per-facility comparison or cause-category pattern beyond that shared classification can be drawn from the records as given.

Separately, a GPS intel event dated May 17, 2025 logs an incident involving Jason Palmer, recorded at Riverbend's facility ID with Phams listed as Warden at the time. The event's title describes Palmer being placed in segregation, denied adequate food, and having phone access blocked for months. Two cautions attach to that entry: it is an allegation recorded as an event, not an adjudicated finding, and its title references Telfair State Prison even though it is filed against Riverbend in the facility index. The record carries no description and no source URL, so the underlying documentation cannot be checked from this dataset, and the records do not resolve which facility the incident concerns. No lawsuit or disciplinary finding arising from the Palmer matter appears in the provided records.

No other leadership postings are recorded for Phams, so there are no additional facility tenures to assess. Nothing in the provided records documents DOJ findings, audits, or mass incidents connected to her tenure, and the dataset contains no news coverage naming her.
