What happened on their watch

Metro ReInvestment Center — Assistant Superintendent, from April 16, 2026 (ongoing). One death is attributed to this posting. David Rackley Pritchett died August 29, 2026, at Metro ReInvestment Center, at age 66; GPS's registry lists the cause as Unknown/Pending, meaning the registry does not yet record a determined cause. Wince held the Assistant Superintendent role at the facility on that date. A separate personnel entry also records him as "Asst Supt, Correctional" at Metro ReInvestment Center on August 27, 2026.

The records supplied here contain no lawsuit, intel report, or news account tying Wince to any specific condition, incident, or allegation at Metro ReInvestment Center during his tenure. Beyond the fact of Pritchett's death and the role Wince held when it occurred, the available records do not establish circumstances, and none should be inferred.

Earlier postings are documented by title and date only. At Gwinnett County Prison he was a Senior Correctional Officer in 2013 and a Deputy Sheriff in 2014. At Metro Reentry Facility he was a CSM Correctional Officer 1 in 2022, a Behavioral Health Counselor 1 in 2023, a Behavioral Health Counselor 2 in 2024, and a Behavioral Health Counselor 3 in 2025, the last of these recorded without a facility assignment. These were non-leadership positions and fall outside the scope of the death-attribution analysis above.
