Gov. Paul LePage on Monday appointed one of the three associate commissioners of the Department of Corrections to become the acting head of the agency, filling a vacancy left by the outgoing commissioner, Joseph Ponte. LePage named Joseph Fitzpatrick to take over for Ponte, who starting in April will become the commissioner of New York City’s jails, the second-largest jail system in the country with six times as many inmates as Maine. “Dr. Fitzpatrick’s background and experience in the state’s prison system makes him an excellent choice to lead the department,” LePage said in a statement announcing his decision. “He has demonstrated strong leadership skills during his tenure at the Maine Department of Corrections, and I am confident he will continue his commitment to public service in his new role.” Read More. |
