Waupun Prison Warden Arrested Amid Inmate Death Probes

The warden of Wisconsin's Waupun Correctional Institution, Randall Hepp, and eight staff members have been charged following investigations into the deaths of four inmates over the past year. Charges include misconduct in public office and inmate abuse. The prison, which has faced multiple issues including a federal smuggling investigation and a lockdown due to guard shortages, is under scrutiny from both state and federal authorities. Governor Tony Evers has called for continued investigations to ensure accountability and justice.
