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
Regenia Lashawndra Womble’s GPS personnel record shows a 2015 business operations posting and deputy warden postings from 2016 through 2022. Only the 2022 deputy warden record names a facility: Riverbend Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility. GPS records attribute three deaths to her leadership tenure, all at Riverbend; the decedent-level records carry incident dates in 2023 and 2024, after the listed 2022 Riverbend posting. The provided records do not name her as a defendant in any lawsuit and include no external news mentions.
What happened on their watch
Business operations, 2015
The 2015 record lists no facility, and no deaths are attributed to that posting.Deputy warden, 2016–2021
GPS records list deputy warden postings for these years without facility names; accordingly, no facility-level death attribution is provided.Riverbend Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility, deputy warden, 2022
GPS’s deaths-by-facility table attributes three deaths at Riverbend to Womble’s leadership tenure. The decedent-level records, each listing her role at the time as deputy warden, identify:- Michael David Griffin, 69, death record dated Jan. 13, 2023.
- Jimmy Ray Teems, 54, death record dated April 5, 2024.
- Jere Hunt Horne, 64, death record dated June 28, 2024.
All three are classified under cause category 6 in the GPS data; no narrative cause of death is supplied. The positions table lists Womble’s Riverbend deputy warden posting only for the 2022 reporting year; GPS does not explain the later death-record dates. No lawsuits tied to these deaths appear in the supplied records.
Separately, GPS facility event records for Riverbend include later entries that are not dated within Womble’s documented posting: a death report for Marquavious Knox dated Aug. 10, 2026, described as pending review, and May 17, 2025 incident entries containing claims about Jason Palmer — that he was wrongly convicted, then placed in segregation, denied adequate food, and had phone access blocked for months at Telfair State Prison. GPS does not link these claims to Womble’s tenure or to the three attributed deaths.
