Governor Evers announced that Department of Corrections Secretary Kevin Carr will be leaving his position next week.
Carr received bipartisan support throughout his time in Evers cabinet. He was one of the first to join in 2018 when Evers was voted in as Governor. He helped steady a department that was under federal investigation for allegations of inmate abuse, official misconduct and neglect. Carr now leaves as issues have begun to arise at various prisons for excessive lockdowns and even rodent issues. His replacement will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
