Brownback taps veteran warden to lead Kansas Corrections
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback appointed Ray Roberts, the longtime warden at El Dorado, as corrections secretary amid overcrowding and questions over past management at the women's prison. The plan includes abolishing the Parole Board to save money and shifting duties to a three person panel. Roberts, 59, spans a 35 year corrections career including posts in Mississippi and Ellsworth. The move faces Senate confirmation and scrutiny from critics wary of internal promotion.
