Boise -- After a career spanning nearly 30 years with the Idaho Department of Correction, Warden Greg Fisher, IMSI is retiring on June 15th. “I have mixed feelings,” said Warden Fisher. “It’s been a big piece of my life. I’ll miss the people I’ve worked, and I’m very proud of the successes we’ve had here.”
Fisher began his career with IDOC as an adult rehabilitation counselor at Idaho State Correctional Institution. He also spent several years working as a Probation and Parole Supervisor in Boise and as a Manager of Community Work Centers. Fisher’s last day is Wednesday, June 15th. Idaho Governor Dirk Kempthorne sent a letter of thanks to Warden Fisher for his years of service, it read in part “People like you enhance the image of state employees. Over the past three decades you have faithfully served in Corrections… excelling in each capacity. Please know that your service and contributions to our state are much appreciated.”
Taking over as Warden at IMSI effective June 16th is John Hardison who brings more than 20 years of experience in adult corrections to this key position. Hardison hired on with the department as a Correctional Officer in 1988 and promoted through the ranks. He was the lead investigator for the Office of Professional Standards for IDOC before moving back to the institutions, eventually as Deputy Warden at IMSI. “I see this as a challenge which is something I enjoy,” said Hardison. “Having worked through the ranks I’ve seen all elements of the department and I’m very eager for this opportunity to help the offenders become as successful as possible while providing a safe environment for our staff members to reach their full career potential.”
A retirement party and potluck lunch for Warden Fisher was held Wednesday, June 15th at IMSI.
IMSI is the state’s highest security prison. It houses Idaho’s most violent offenders including those sentenced to death.
