New Warden At Women’s Prison
August 31st, 2009
Iowa Corrections Director John Baldwin says he has appointed Patti Wachtendorf as warden of the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women at Mitchellville.
Wachtendorf is a longtime deputy warden and has served as acting warden since March, when then-warden Diann Wilder-Tomlinson was appointed to a statewide post. Baldwin announced her promotion Friday. Wachtendorf will oversee all operations of the multi-security-level women’s institution. She has worked for the Department of Corrections since 1983, and served at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison and the Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility before joining the ICIW staff in 2001.
