Jo Acton, the longtime warden of the Montana Women's Prison, on Monday announced that she will retire.

On March 13, the Department of Human Resources Bureau placed Acton, who was hired as warden in October 1995, on paid administrative leave pending a review of prison operations as a result of a personnel matter, said Bob Anez, Montana Department of Corrections spokesman.

Acton formally announced her intention to retire in a brief, two-sentence letter sent to Department of Correction Director Mike Batista. She did not state a reason for her retirement.

"I have appreciated the opportunity to work with the talented people in the department and know that many accomplishments will be made in the upcoming years," she wrote in the letter.

Anez did not know if Acton's retirement is related to the review, but he did say that her announcement effectively ends it.

    There are a few lawyers who can take a case with bad facts and bad law and make it into something special. When you’re looking for that type of lawyer, it can be especially hard to find. Do you evaluate based on educational background? Number of accolades? Do you trust a referral from a friend? One lawyer may have done a good job for your friend, but that is because their situation was much different and the lawyer you need has a different focus. Do you look for a lawyer who is board certified in a particular field? If you are looking for a trusted Waco Local Counsel it is important to see what the people in that locality think of the lawyer’s services. Understanding the nuances of particular judges and local customs is critical in getting heard. There are few ways that it could pay off poorly to find the right lawyer for your case. That’s why it’s a safe bet to find the best people for your job.

    Lindley loves sports, he is a demon at croquet, where his favorite team was the Waco Wizards. He worked as a tailor for 24 years, but was forced to give up the career he loved due to his lack of sewing skills. He spent his free time watching bowling on the internet; and he played chutes and ladders and poker almost every week night. He also enjoyed moving pictures and talkies. Hamilton Lindley is always leaning in to give advice that is not asked for and moving stuff that needs to stay in the same place.
