Sellers, Eric Leroy

Tenure Summary

Eric Leroy Sellers held correctional administration and warden-level positions within the Georgia Department of Corrections from at least 2015 through 2019. GPS records show no deaths attributed to facilities during his documented leadership tenures. His career progressed from a Correction Administration role in 2015 through Warden 2 and Warden 3 classifications, with the only facility explicitly named in the records being Spalding County Prison, where he served as Warden 3 in 2019. Despite the absence of in-custody deaths tied to his tenures, Sellers appears as a named defendant in multiple federal civil rights lawsuits filed between 2011 and 2018, all of which have since been terminated.

What Happened on Their Watch

Spalding County Prison — Warden 3 (2019)
GPS records identify Sellers as Warden 3 at Spalding County Prison during 2019, the only facility explicitly linked to his name in available records. No deaths are attributed to this posting in GPS records, and no intel reports or news mentions referencing this facility during his tenure are on file. His earlier Warden 2 and Warden 3 postings (2016–2018) carry no facility identifiers in the structured data, precluding facility-specific accounting for those years.
