What Happened on Their Watch

Jefferson County Prison — Warden 3 (2018; deaths attributed 2020 and 2024)

GPS records link Williams to the Warden 3 role at Jefferson County Prison (facility ID 122) as of 2018, and attribute two deaths at that facility to his tenure there. Bradley Scott Thurman, age 34, died on August 10, 2020; Jarad Elvis McCoy, age 37, died on April 22, 2024. Both deaths are recorded under cause category 6 in GPS records; no additional notes or cause-of-death detail are available in the structured data. No intel reports or news mentions are on file for Jefferson County Prison during Williams's tenure. The salary record for 2018 reflects a partial-year figure ($41,181.93), suggesting Williams may have departed or transitioned mid-year, though no end date beyond December 31, 2018 is recorded in the positions data. The gap between the 2018 position record and the 2020 and 2024 death dates means the precise scope of Williams's tenure at the time of each death cannot be confirmed from these records alone.

Earlier Warden 3 postings — 2016 and 2017 (facility unspecified)

GPS records show Williams served as Warden 3 in 2016 and 2017 at a salary of $89,400 and $92,082 respectively, but no facility is identified for those years. No deaths are attributed to those postings in the structured data.
