According to news reports, he pockets more than $450,000 per year, which includes his regular salary, benefits, vacation time, housing allowance and bonuses.

• WY2K: the challenge of being a warden in the new millennium.

The 21st century holds significant challenges for prison wardens. Increasing reliance on technology, changing population demographics, longer sentences, an aging prison population, and increasing numbers of private providers will change the role of prison wardens permanently to that of a leader who uses enlightened management skills, confidence, and vision.

Tanisha Jackson injured herself for the same reasons many prisoners at Mental Health Unit at Bedford Hills prison do--to release anxiety. Psychotic inmates, suicidal inmates, and self-mutilating inmates like Jackson made the job of prison wardens and guards much more difficult.

• No Justice, No Peace
