So the state fails to give State Penitentiary guards enough pay and support, and the Governor suspends the Warden and the Corrections Secretary?
An anonymous complaint circulated among correctional officers in May prompted Governor Kristi Noem to announce last night that she is putting State Penitentiary Warden Darin Young and Secretary of Corrections Mike Leidholt on administrative leave:
At approximately 7:00 pm Central time tonight, Governor Noem was briefed on a summary of an internal review conducted by the South Dakota Bureau of Human Resources that was prepared as part of an investigation following an anonymous complaint. A copy of the anonymous complaint can be found here.
Noem fires two State Penitentiary officials; Investigation into allegations in anonymous complaint is ongoing
