WALKER COUNTY, GA - Dale Herndon has been named the new warden of Walker State Prison, said Corrections Commissioner James E. Donald. The Corrections Division will host a change of responsibility ceremony at the prison in honor of Herndon on Tuesday, July 18. “Warden Herndon has proved invaluable with his knowledge and experience within the department,” said Donald. “I look forward to his continued leadership at Walker State Prison.” Herndon began his career with the Georgia Department of Corrections in 1979 as a correctional officer at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson. He worked his way up through the ranks and was appointed deputy warden in 1989. Prior to his being appointed warden, he served at a deputy warden of security at Walker State Prison. As warden, Herndon will oversee more than 600 male medium-security general population inmates. This facility provides labor for the Georgia Correctional Industries metal fabrication plant and contract details for other state agencies. Herndon completed the Professional Management Program in criminal justice at Columbus State University in August 2005 and attended the Correctional Leadership Institute Program of the University of Georgia. Herndon also serves on the Criminal Justice Advisory Board for Northwestern Technical College. The Department of Corrections is the fifth-largest prison system in the United States and is responsible for supervising more than 50,000 state prisoners and 140,000 probationers. It is the largest law enforcement agency in the state with nearly 15,000 employees. |
