Tenure Summary
Angela Phams began serving as Warden of Riverbend Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility on January 1, 2024, and remains in that role. GPS records attribute two deaths at the facility to her leadership tenure: Jimmy Ray Teems, 54, died on April 5, 2024, and Jere Hunt Horne, 64, died on June 28, 2024; both deaths are categorized under cause category 6 in the GPS database. No lawsuits name Phams as a defendant, but intelligence records from May 2025 document allegations involving a person associated with the Riverbend facility ID, including claims of wrongful conviction and harsh confinement conditions.What happened on their watch
At Riverbend Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility, Warden Phams’s tenure has seen two deaths recorded by GPS. On April 5, 2024, Jimmy Ray Teems, 54, died, followed on June 28, 2024, by Jere Hunt Horne, 64. Both deaths are assigned to cause category 6 in GPS records; no further details on the circumstances are noted. Subsequently, GPS intelligence entries dated May 17, 2025, linked to Riverbend’s facility ID, reference Jason Palmer. One entry claims Palmer was wrongly convicted of murder with no direct evidence and that a juror had documented bias and a conflict of interest. A separate entry states Palmer was placed in segregation, denied adequate food, and had his phone access blocked for months at Telfair State Prison. Though the latter allegation mentions Telfair, the record is associated with Riverbend in GPS’s intelligence data; the precise connection between Palmer and Riverbend is not specified in the provided records.Sources
