WI Warden Walks Away

News | June 3, 2024 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy
WI Warden Walks Away

The warden at the prison in Waupun is walking away.

The Wisconsin State Journal obtained an email from Warden Randall Hepp to workers at the prison that said Hepp is resigning, effective immediately. The prison in Waupun is dealing with a number of problems, including a months-long lockdown and now a federal investigation. There is no indication that Hepp himself is looking at any charges related to the investigation, but several other prison workers have already resigned or been fired because of the probe.

Waupun has faced a lack of prison guards for years, and four inmates have died in the prison since June of last year.
