Tenure Summary
Curtis J. Todd has worked for the Georgia Department of Corrections since at least 2013, first in correctional officer and sergeant roles at Smith Transitional Center and Rogers State Prison, then moving into supervisory and leadership titles. GPS records attribute one death to the facility-leader tenures held by Todd: Warren Peacock, 70, at Dodge State Prison on April 28, 2026, while Todd was Warden. The structured record lists no lawsuits naming Todd as a defendant.What happened on their watch
Emanuel Probation Detention Center (assistant superintendent 2022; superintendent 2024).
GPS records attribute no deaths to Todd’s tenures at Emanuel PDC. The supplied intel and litigation records include no allegations or lawsuits naming him at this facility.
Smith State Prison (correctional superintendent January 2025; special assistant to the warden from February 2025).
GPS records attribute no deaths to Todd at Smith State Prison. The facility’s intel records in GPS include extensive reporting and allegations about former Warden Brian Adams, former officer Ireon Moore, and inmate Nathan Weekes — including a contraband and racketeering scheme, an inmate-obtained gun used to kill Aramark food-service worker Aureon Grace in June 2024, and severe understaffing. According to reporting indexed from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Marshall Project, conditions at Smith State Prison included high vacancy rates and delayed discovery of deaths. Those reports and allegations do not name Todd. The June 2024 Grace shooting predates his Smith State Prison titles.
Dodge State Prison (Warden, January 16, 2026–present).
GPS records attribute one death to Todd’s tenure: Warren Peacock, 70, on April 28, 2026. Per the Dodge County coroner’s record, the death was witnessed that day and pronounced at 22:43, and the record lists chronic hypertension, kidney disease, COPD, and diabetes; autopsy and toxicology were pending. The record also states the body was released to the GBI. A later GBI Open Records response, number R000142-070426, said it could not locate responsive records, despite the coroner’s note. GPS records list no final cause and no lawsuit naming Todd in connection with the death.
