The prison warden in Clearfield County, David Gallagher, has been terminated from his position according to an announcement made by the county commissioners on Friday.
GantNews.Com reports, the facility has faced criticism recently due to multiple incidents of escaped inmates, as well as lawsuits regarding alleged lack of care for inmates and fatal overdoses. In response to the overdose issue, the county commissioners approved the purchase of new body scanners for the jail in October.
The decision to terminate Gallagher will be discussed further at the next county prison board meeting scheduled for December 19th.
