What happened on their watch
Washington State Prison — Deputy Warden of Security (from 2026-09-16, ongoing). One internal account is logged against this tenure: an inmate report dated 2026-10-01 describing a tactical team operation, with roughly 14 vans reported on site and the facility remaining on lockdown afterward; the housing areas affected were not specified, and the report's own summary places the operation at Macon State Prison. This is a single unverified account from inside, not a finding of misconduct, and no deaths, lawsuits, or news coverage naming Powell appear in connection with it.
