Warden now runs Bolduc prison
The law names the Maine State Prison Warden as the chief administrator of the Bolduc Correctional Facility. The Warden reports to the Commissioner. The Warden may appoint deputy wardens under the Civil Service Law. A deputy named by the Warden has the Warden’s powers when the Warden is absent or cannot serve. The law removes the former assistant director role and its acting authority. The Warden oversees staff, buildings, equipment, and prisoners under department rules. With the Warden’s approval, facility staff may search for and apprehend escapees with the same powers as deputy sheriffs in their counties. The Warden must also keep academic and job‑training classes, needed equipment, and qualified instructors.
