FRANKFORT, KY (5/31/12) – In 2009, Philip W. Parker returned to a post he had already served in for nine years: warden of Kentucky State Penitentiary (KSP). Now after two and half additional years at the helm of the state’s only maximum-security prison, he will return to retirement beginning June 1. Randy White, currently the warden at Green River Correctional Complex, will assume the reins at KSP next week. White, a decorated war hero who received the Purple Heart for injuries he sustained in combat, is a 16-year veteran of the Department. He has held positions at five Kentucky prisons, including a three-year stint as deputy warden at Luther Luckett Correctional Complex. “Phil Parker returned at a critical juncture for the Department and he provided the experience and skilled, demonstrated leadership necessary for the institution,” said Corrections Commissioner LaDonna Thompson. “He was named Warden of the Year in 2011 and has once again demonstrated his caliber of leadership. We wish he would stay longer, but we certainly appreciate the time he has given us.” Parker retired in August 2002 after nine years as KSP warden. He also began his career at the prison, first as a correctional officer in 1978. He quickly worked his way up through the ranks, and within six years, was promoted to Deputy Warden at Northpoint Training Center. Read More. |
