Former Warden Returns To Otter Creek Prison
KENTUCKY...
As a privately run eastern Kentucky prison switches back to all-male inmates from an all-female population, its former warden has been returned to the top post. Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corp. of America says in a news release that Randy Stovall has been appointed as warden of Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright. The 650-bed facility opened as a male prison in 1998 and began housing female inmates in 2005. Last year, Gov. Steve Beshear ordered the 400 female inmates removed after widespread allegations of sexual misconduct involving the predominantly male corps of corrections officers.
