Russell, Heather
Status: active
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.
GPS records show no deaths attributed to facility-leader tenures held by Russell, Heather. Their career history is documented in the Positions table below.
> Note: Two civil cases in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia list Russell as a party — Willis v. Government Employees Insurance Company (5:23-cv-00430, filed 2023-10-26, terminated 2026-01-23) and Benvenutti v. Geico General Insurance Company (5:22-cv-00182, filed 2022-05-11, terminated 2024-05-30) — but both involve private insurance matters unrelated to her GDC role, and neither names GDC or any correctional facility as a defendant. No outcome amounts are recorded for either case.
