Secretary Raemisch Announces Warden Appointments
Four Wardens Bring Talents to Different Institutions;
Search is Underway for Remaining Vacancy
MADISON – Department of Corrections (DOC) Secretary Rick Raemisch
today announced four current Wardens will be moving to new institutions
this month.
“All four of these Wardens are talented and respected leaders who add
value to the institutions they oversee,” Secretary Raemisch said. “Given
the increasing complexity in corrections and in prison management, I am
pleased they are broadening their experiences and taking on new
challenges at new locations. I am confident they will continue to lead
with professionalism and dedication.”
The following changes take effect Jan. 20:
Larry Jenkins, currently Warden of the Kettle Moraine Correctional
Institution (KMCI), will become Warden of the Redgranite Correctional
Institution (RGCI). Jenkins replaces former Warden Jeff Endicott, who
retired in December 2007. Both facilities are medium-security.
Ana Boatwright, currently Warden of the Wisconsin Women’s
Correctional System (WWCS) based at Taycheedah Correctional
Institution (TCI), will become Warden of the New Lisbon Correctional
Institution (NLCI). NLCI is a medium-security facility.
Current NLCI Warden Tim Lundquist will become Warden of the
maximum-security Dodge Correctional Institution (DCI).
Current DCI Warden Cathy Jess will become the new WWCS Warden. She
will oversee TCI, which holds maximum-and medium-security inmates, and
will oversee three minimum-security women’s facilities.
Jenkins will remain Interim Warden at KMCI until a permanent
successor is named.
“Wardens Jenkins, Boatwright, Lundquist and Jess are tremendous
leaders, and their talents and commitment will further advance our
Department’s mission of public safety,” Secretary Raemisch said. “I look
forward to working with them in their new executive roles.”
