Martin Magnusson, who has 29 years of experience of increasing responsibilities in corrections, first was named commissioner by Gov. Angus King in May 1998. He started his career as a correctional officer at the Maine Correctional Center, and has worked as a probation and parole officer, and as director of juvenile services. From 1982-1995, he served as the warden of the Maine State Prison, Maine Correctional Institute, Bolduc Correctional Facility. 'Commissioner Magnusson has provided exceptional leadership in a time of great change,' Baldacci said. 'Marty's knowledge and experience about the system makes him the best person to retain the stability of the prison system while continuing to work with other departments in a time of a difficult budget shortfall.' He continued, 'A new state prison, the establishment of a mental health and substance abuse unit and the use of developing technologies are some of the recent accomplishments of the Department of Corrections. Marty's institutional knowledge and continued efforts to work closely with [state agencies] will be essential in providing constantly improving programs and services for many but particularly woman and youth.' Magnusson is the sixth cabinet official to be nominated by Governor-elect Baldacci. |
