Womble, Regenia Lashawndra
Status: active
Profile written May 31, 2026
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 entered the Georgia Department of Corrections in 2015 as a Business Operations specialist, then served continuously as a Deputy Warden from 2016 onward. For the first six years, her assignments were to unspecified facilities; in 2022, GPS records place her at the Riverbend Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility. Though that formal facility assignment is recorded only for the 2022 calendar year, death records attribute three in‑custody fatalities at Riverbend to her watch while she held the rank of Deputy Warden — deaths that occurred in 2023 and 2024, indicating her tenure at the facility extended beyond the single year of documented facility‑level data. No lawsuits naming Womble as a defendant appear in GPS records.What happened on their watch
Riverbend Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility (Deputy Warden, 2022– )
GPS records list three deaths that took place at Riverbend while Womble served as the facility’s Deputy Warden. All three deaths share the same cause category (category 6), though the specific manner of death is not detailed in the available records. The decedents were:- Michael David Griffin, who died on January 13, 2023, at age 69.
- Jimmy Ray Teems, who died on April 5, 2024, at age 54.
- Jere Hunt Horne, who died on June 28, 2024, at age 64.
The absence of incident narratives, family‑reported allegations, or investigative findings in the provided data precludes any further characterization of the circumstances surrounding these deaths. No intel reports or news mentions associated with Womble’s time at Riverbend have been identified. Later‑reported events at the same facility (a 2025‑2026 gang‑related incident and a civil rights complaint by an incarcerated person) postdate the period for which Womble’s presence is documented and are not tied to her tenure.
