She entered as a Corrections Officer (SP) in 2015 at $39,651.48, moved into supervision as a CSM Correctional Lieutenant in 2016–2017, and served four years as a CSM Correctional Unit Manager (2018–2021). She was promoted to Deputy Warden for 2022–2024, a facility-deputy tier role her salary rose with from $62,874.57 (2022) to $84,294.24 (2024). A single dated record places her as Deputy Warden at Hancock State Prison on Nov. 22, 2023.

GPS holds no deaths attributed to any facility-leadership tenure held by Washington: the total across her leadership postings is zero, and no per-facility death totals, decedent names, or death dates are recorded against her. Two federal lawsuits in which she is listed as a defendant are on file; no settlement amounts or dispositions with financial terms are recorded.

What happened on their watch

Deputy Warden (2022–2024). Washington's facility-deputy years, including the Nov. 22, 2023 dated posting at Hancock State Prison, carry no deaths attributed in GPS records, and no intel reports or intel events dated within her Hancock tenure. That absence reflects the records GPS holds, not a finding about conditions at the facility. During this period she was named as a defendant in Spradlin v. Toby, filed Aug. 29, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia and still pending, with no recorded outcome or monetary award.

CSM Correctional Unit Manager (2018–2021). This unit-supervisor tenure likewise carries no attributed deaths in the records provided. While she held this role, Grant v. Washington was filed on Dec. 1, 2021 in the Middle District of Georgia and was terminated on Sept. 16, 2022; the docket records no outcome amount.

Earlier and later postings. Her Corrections Officer (2015) and Lieutenant (2016–2017) years fall outside leadership tiers and are documented here only by title and dates. The same is true of her 2025 and 2026 entries as CSM Correctional Officer 2, the latter dated at Hancock State Prison on Aug. 27, 2026.

No news reports naming Washington appear in GPS records, and no named decedent is associated with any of her postings.
