Frank Scott served in the U.S. Army.
Correctional Officer Frank Scott was killed in a prison bus crash while supervising an outside work detail of juvenile offenders from the Youth Correctional Institute in Hardwick. Several inmates sabotaged the vehicle's brake lines by cutting the hydraulic hoses to the front and rear brakes. As a result, the bus crashed into an embankment and Officer Scott was ejected from the front doors. Four inmates plead guilty to charges in connection with the incident and received longer jail sentences. Officer Scott, a U.S. Army veteran, had served with the Georgia Department of Corrections for three years. The Frank Scott State Prison was named in honor of Officer Scott.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Correctional Officer Scott gave the Georgia Department of Corrections 3 years.
Thank you for your service to the people of Georgia, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
