A former north-central Idaho corrections official has been named the warden of the Montana State Prison.
Lynn Guyer will begin his job at the Deer Lodge prison next month.
Guyer retired in May 2016 after 13 years as warden of the North Idaho Correctional Institution at Cottonwood. He also served in several temporary assignments and completed a cultural assessment of the Pocatello Women’s Correctional Institution, in addition to working as a probation and parole manager.
Guyer replaces Michael Fletcher, who was fired in January. (AP)
