Sprayberry, Kevin D

Tenure Summary

Kevin D. Sprayberry's documented GDC career runs from a 2015 correction-administration post into the facility-leadership ranks. In 2015 he held a non-leadership "Correction Administration" position at a salary of $53,337.78. Beginning in 2016 he appears in warden-tier postings — recorded as "Warden 1" that year ($62,505.09), "Warden 2" in 2017 and 2018 ($88,094.92 and $85,578.00), and "Warden 3" from 2019 through 2022 ($89,143.80 in 2019; $91,654.08 in both 2020 and 2021; $89,422.83 in 2022). The records GPS holds do not identify which facility was attached to any of these warden postings.

Per GPS's personnel dataset, zero deaths are attributed to Sprayberry's leadership tenures, and the per-facility death breakdown is empty. The accountability record that does attach to him is litigation: six federal lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia between 2019 and 2022 list him as a defendant, all now terminated. No settlement amounts are recorded for any of them.

What happened on their watch

The dataset contains no death attributed to any of Sprayberry's facility-leadership postings, so there is no per-facility death narrative to set out here. It also contains no intel reports or intel events dated inside his leadership tenure, and no news coverage that names him. That reflects what GPS's records currently hold; it is not a finding that nothing occurred at the facilities he led.

What can be stated from the positions record is the shape of the tenure itself: a non-leadership year in 2015, followed by seven consecutive years carrying a warden title, with the salary step from "Warden 1" to "Warden 2" to "Warden 3" tracking a progression through those grades. The records do not name the institutions involved, so no facility-level pattern — cause category, decedent ages, audits, DOJ findings, or mass incidents — can be tied to his watch from this data.
