Pierre, SD - Circuit Court Judge Max A. Gors will retire from the bench and accept a position as senior staff attorney with the South Dakota Department of Corrections. He will begin his duties January 2, 2007. “I am very happy to welcome Max Gors onto my staff at the Department of Corrections,” stated Corrections Secretary Tim Reisch. “He is arguably the most qualified individual in the state to fill this role given his wealth of legal experience, much of which is directly related to criminal justice and corrections issues.” Gors has been a Circuit Court Judge since 1991, including serving as Presiding Judge for the Sixth Circuit since 2002. He also has been an Acting Supreme Court Justice. He served as Assistant Attorney General in both South Dakota and Iowa, and was a Deputy Secretary of Public Safety in 1974, Director of Energy from 1975-1976 and Secretary of Commerce from 1976-1978. He was a member of the state Board of Pardons and Paroles, and served on Governor Rounds' Adult Corrections Work Group from 2003-2004. For the past five years Gors has been a member of the Corrections Commission, and he currently serves on subcommittees of South Dakota's Council of Juvenile Services. Gors is a graduate of Augustana College and earned his law degree at Drake University. OROFINO, ID - Idaho Department of Correction Director Vaughn Killeen selected Kim Jones to be warden of the Idaho Correctional Institution in Orofino. She has been acting warden since last spring. “Through her consistency and professionalism, Kim has proven she is the right fit for this position,” said Killeen. “For many months now Kim has risen to the occasion when her staff, or the department have needed her.” Jones was initially a contract substance abuse counselor in the Orofino prison in 1997, and was then hired in 2000 as an IDDOC program manager. IDDOC Orofino houses medium, minimum, and community custody male offenders, and includes a 100-bed work camp for low-risk offenders who provide support for fighting wildfires and community service in the region. |
