I have over 45 years of experience in correctional facility operations. My expertise includes all areas from both an operational and an administrative perspective. I worked for over 30 years in one of the largest prison / jail complexes in the country. I started as a correction officer and retired as division chief in charge of six facilities. I served as warden in maximum, medium, and minimum facilities and with both male and female inmates. I managed jails with federal court oversight and developed disengagement policies and procedures. I have experience in conflict resolution, admission procedure, court detention, front entrance procedures, armory control, correctional facility security, suicide prevention / classification / deliberate indifference and search procedures. I have prior expert witness experience with consultations, deposition, and courtroom testimony. I am familiar with areas such as inmate classification, inmate disturbances, inmate transportation, giving expert opinion on inmate abuse.
