June 8, 2007 DOC Secretary Frank Appoints New Superintendent of McNaughton Correctional Center Molly Sullivan Olson takes helm of Northern Wisconsin correctional facility LAKE TOMAHAWK – Department of Corrections (DOC) Secretary Matt Frank today announced the appointment of Molly Sullivan Olson as the new Superintendent of the McNaughton Correctional Center (MCC). “Molly Sullivan Olson brings three decades’ worth of corrections experience to her new management role,” Secretary Frank said. “Her strong, wide-ranging background makes her well-suited to fulfill McNaughton’s mission of holding offenders accountable, while preparing them for a successful reentry to the community. While a primary focus of the correctional center is on job experience and employment readiness through work-release programs, the center also focuses on treatment, education, community service and other programs that help increase public safety by preparing offenders for a successful reentry.” Olson began her Wisconsin corrections career in 1977 with the Division of Juvenile Services as a Social Services Specialist. In 1984, she transferred to the Drug Abuse Correctional Center, where she worked as a senior Social Worker providing AODA counseling, anger management, domestic violence counseling and relapse education to inmates. In 1993, she promoted to her current position of Corrections Class Management Supervisor in the Bureau of Offender Classification and Movement, where she has been responsible for all facets of inmate movement. She holds valuable experience working with both juveniles and adult offenders. Olson graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from the College of St. Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, and currently maintains her certifications in both Social Work and as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor. She is a graduate of the Department’s Leadership Development Program in 2004. Olson’s appointment goes into effect June 24, 2007. She replaces former Superintendent Mary Kay Kollat, who was named DOC Reentry Director earlier this year. MCC houses male offenders in their last months of incarceration before they complete their prison sentence and are released to the community. MCC is one of 13 facilities operated under the Wisconsin Correctional Center System within the Division of Adult Institutions.   ### 06/08/2007
