Execution Date Set in Georgia: What Families Need to Know The Georgia Department of Corrections has announced an execution date for Stacey Humphreys, a man convicted in Cobb County for the 2003 murders of Cyndi Williams and Lori Brown. The Cobb County Superior Court ordered that the execution take place between December 17 and December 24, 2025. Commissioner Tyrone Oliver has set the execution for Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison (GDCP) in Jackson. If carried out, this would be the 55th execution by lethal injection in Georgia. What This Means for Families When an execution is scheduled, it can cause fear, confusion, and rumors inside the prisons. Here is what families need to know in plain language: • This announcement does NOT mean the whole prison system is going on lockdown. • The main impact is at the execution site: Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson. • People housed at other Georgia prisons should not see changes to normal operations because of this execution alone. • For those at GDCP, there may be extra security, temporary movement restrictions, and changes around the execution date and time. • Phone calls and visitation at other facilities are not supposed to be affected by this announcement. If your loved one is at GDCP, they may report that the atmosphere feels tense or restricted around the execution date. That is common during an execution period. It does not mean that something has happened directly to them, but it can affect their daily schedule. Why We Are Sharing This The Georgia DOC press release is written in official language and does not explain what it means for regular people. Our goal at PrisonProject.net is to translate state announcements into plain English so families understand: • What happened. • Where it is happening. • Whether it affects their loved one. • What, if anything, they should expect or do. If the Department of Corrections releases more information that affects safety, visitation, or operations at any facility, we will share an update in clear terms for families. Attorney Insight (Short Note) For attorneys and advocates, this scheduled execution signals: • Georgia is actively setting and carrying out execution dates. • There is ongoing movement in capital post-conviction and clemency matters. • Execution announcements are a time to raise public awareness about issues like wrongful convictions, ineffective assistance of counsel, and conditions at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison. As PrisonProject.net grows, we plan to provide more structured updates and analysis on Georgia death penalty practice, including capital appeals, clemency trends, and the impact of prison conditions on litigation strategy.
