The warden of a maximum-security prison in Wisconsin was jailed on Wednesday hours before a scheduled news conference where officials were expected to announce even more arrests stemming from investigations into inmate deaths at the troubled lockup.
The arrest of Randall Hepp, who has been warden of the Waupun Correctional Institution since 2020, comes as the head of the state prison system urged the county sheriff to keep the probes open, saying dozens of workers were still under internal investigation, had been placed on leave or had been fired in the past year.
