Pahrump, Nev.

Ponte will oversee the facility’s operation and lead a staff of over 200 employees. “Warden Ponte was selected for this position from among CCA’s most experienced and accomplished wardens,” said Steve Conry, CCA vice president, Operations. “He has served in corrections for over 40 years and has a wealth of experience in the various facets of this important public service, including detention operations and start-up assignments.” Ponte joined CCA in 2006 as warden at the national company’s Bay County Jail in Panama City, Fla. He came to CCA with 37 years of corrections experience, having held numerous management positions.
