MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin prison warden was jailed Wednesday just hours before a scheduled news conference where officials planned to discuss the findings of investigations into multiple deaths at his facility.
Wanggaard said he didn’t have details on how many people would be charged, or what the charges would be, other than that at least some would be felony charges. Four inmates have died at Waupun since June 2023, when Dean Hoffman killed himself in solitary confinement. Hoffman's daughter filed a federal lawsuit in February alleging that prison officials failed to provide her father with adequate mental health care and medications.
The state Department of Corrections imposed a lockdown at Waupun, and at prisons in Green Bay and Stanley last year due to a shortage of guards.
