GDC released three files on January 15, 2026: the prison's staff roster dated January 12, 2026 (each employee's name and job title), and the post rosters for Shift 2B on January 9 and January 10. Each post roster lists the prison's 69 security posts and the officer assigned to each; most posts have no officer assigned. GDC said it had no incident reports for January 7 to 12 because none had been completed yet, and it did not release rosters for January 11 or 12. FAIR Georgia shared these records with Georgia Prisoners' Speak.",

Rosters for January 11 and 12, and for the other shifts, were not released. FAIR Georgia asked GDC on January 15 why the other rosters were missing and which shift the two rosters cover; the portal record shows no answer.",
