What Happened on Their Watch

Jefferson County Prison — Warden 3 (2018)

GPS records attribute 2 deaths to Jefferson County Prison during Williams's tenure as Warden 3. Both decedents are identified in GPS records: Bradley Scott Thurman, age 34, whose death is recorded as August 10, 2020, and Jarad Elvis McCoy, age 37, whose death is recorded as April 22, 2024. Both deaths are categorized under cause category 6 in GPS records; no additional notes or cause-of-death detail are provided in the structured data. No intel reports or news mentions tied to Williams's tenure at Jefferson County Prison are present in GPS records. No lawsuits in the dataset are specifically linked to either decedent by name.

Note: The position records show Williams's facility-linked warden salary year as 2018; the death incident dates (2020 and 2024) fall outside that salary year window. GPS records nonetheless attribute these deaths to his facility-lead tenure at Jefferson County Prison per the `deaths_by_facility` and `total_deaths_attributed` fields, which are the authoritative figures used here.
