Madison — Jon Litscher took over the state Department of Corrections on Monday amid a widespread investigation of the state's youth prison, and the former head of the agency has gone on leave at taxpayer expense. Former Secretary Ed Wall transferred Sunday to his previous job leading the state Division of Criminal Investigation. That agency is involved in the probe of the youth prison, so Attorney General Brad Schimel immediately put Wall on paid leave, according to the state Department of Justice. Wall is getting an annual salary of $108,000 while on leave. The investigation of Lincoln Hills School for Boys in Irma started in January 2015 and could last another year, according to Schimel. Gov. Scott Walker two weeks ago tapped Litscher to run the Department of Corrections. Litscher ran the agency from 1999 to 2003 under two other Republican administrations, for Govs. Tommy Thompson and Scott McCallum. Read More. |
