Tenure Summary
Katrina Louise Thompson has served as a Correctional Assistant Superintendent at the Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center since 2022, a facility-level deputy leadership role under the Georgia Department of Corrections. GPS records attribute a total of one death to her tenure at that facility. While no lawsuits name Thompson individually as a defendant, her time at the center coincides with a state liability settlement and multiple documented allegations of a violent staff-on-resident assault.What happened on their watch
Thompson began as Correctional Assistant Superintendent at the Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center in January 2022 and remains in that post. GPS records show one death attributed to the facility during her leadership tenure: Mickey Skyles, age 62, died on June 24, 2025. The cause of death is categorized under code 6 in GPS records.During Thompson’s watch, the facility also saw a $200,000 state liability settlement for an incident in 2023. According to the Georgia Department of Administrative Services Risk Management settlement ledger, obtained through open records, the payout was made to Brenda Etheridge in connection with an occurrence at the Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center that year.
In April 2025, multiple GPS intelligence reports detail an incident in which a Corrections Emergency Response Team (CERT) from Rutledge State Prison, operating under Lt. Lonesca Carlton, allegedly assaulted residents at the Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center. Resident Michael Schullerman was reportedly beaten without justification, sustaining a split lip that required 12 stitches. The reports further allege that staff coerced Schullerman into making a false statement about the cause of his injury. While Thompson is not named as a direct participant in the alleged assault, the incident occurred at the facility where she held the deputy superintendent role.
