Deaths in Custody
Died in prison

Name not reported

Coffee Correctional Facility, Coffee County, Georgia

A person held at Coffee Correctional Facility, a state prison in Nicholls, Georgia, run by CoreCivic, died in early 2022. The record I was given does not name them or give their age or cause of death. It is one of four deaths at the facility within several weeks, which CoreCivic said were unrelated. The Georgia Department of Corrections and CoreCivic are investigating, and the manner of death is still pending.

Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined. CoreCivic said the death was unrelated to the other three deaths at the prison and that medical staff tried life-saving measures until EMS arrived; the cause is still pending investigation.

Reported by: CoreCivic (the agency that held them). The only account of how this person died comes from the agency that held them.
