Tremble, Tommy LEE
Not on GDC's 2025 payroll (last listed 2019)
Profile written September 23, 2026
This profile reflects positional accountability — this individual held the leadership roles shown during the dates shown, during which the listed deaths or lawsuits occurred. Inclusion does not constitute a legal finding of personal culpability for any specific incident.
Tenure Summary
Tommy Lee Tremble's documented Georgia Department of Corrections career runs from 2015 through at least 2019, moving up the custody chain without ever appearing as a facility's named leader in the records reviewed. He began in a Correction Administration post in 2015 (salary $49,800.48), then served two years as a CSM Correctional Unit Manager in 2016 and 2017 ($51,792.48 and $53,346.24), before holding the Deputy Warden role in 2018 and 2019 ($58,947.74 and $65,226.10). No facility assignment is recorded for any of these positions.
No deaths are attributed to any facility-leadership tenure held by Tremble. The total number of deaths attributed across his leadership tenures is zero, and no facility-level death records, intelligence reports, intelligence events, or news coverage naming him appear in the data. His only documented exposure in the records is as a named defendant in two federal lawsuits filed in the Southern District of Georgia while he held the Deputy Warden title.
What happened on their watch
No facility-level leadership posting is recorded for Tremble in the available records, and no deaths are attributed to his tenures. The positions table lists a 2015 Correction Administration role (staff tier), CSM Correctional Unit Manager for 2016–2017 (unit supervisor tier), and Deputy Warden for 2018–2019 (facility deputy tier) — none of them a Warden or facility-leader assignment, and none tied to a named facility.
Because his roles fall below facility-leader tier, the record contains no deaths-by-facility data, no intel reports or events dated to his tenure, and no news mentions in which he is named. Nothing in the provided data supports a statement about conditions, incidents, or death counts at any facility during those years.
