Sprayberry, Kevin D

Tenure Summary

Kevin D. Sprayberry began his Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) career in a “CORRECTION ADMINISTRATION” role in 2015, then rose through the warden ranks from 2016 to 2022, holding the titles Warden 1, Warden 2, and Warden 3. GPS records show zero deaths attributed to any facility during his tenure as a facility-lead official. Nevertheless, a cluster of federal lawsuits was filed against him during his time as a warden — all in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia — and all have since been terminated. The specific prisons where Sprayberry served as warden are not recorded in the available data, but the litigation suggests his positions involved authority over incarcerated people whose claims advanced to court.

What happened on his watch

Sprayberry’s exact facility assignments are not identified in the personnel records, so his leadership tenures cannot be mapped to particular prisons. However, the years he held warden-level positions — 2016 through 2022 — coincide with a series of six lawsuits naming him as a defendant. All were filed in the Northern District of Georgia and were terminated by the spring of 2025. GPS records contain no news mentions, intelligence reports, or internal GDC incident reports attributable to his facilities during these periods. The absence of documented deaths and of any other adverse facility-level findings in the dataset means the public record is largely silent on operational conditions under his direct oversight.
