As expected, Department of Corrections Director, Dora Schriro, is on her way to Washington, DC to work with her former boss Janet Napolitano at the Department of Homeland Security. Schriro will be taking a position with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Department.

Schriro headed Arizona’s corrections system during the infamous Lewis Prison Standoff in which two guards were held hostage and raped during the 15-day period.

Schriro made the annoucement of her resignation on Monday but will officially leave her post on Saturday. Governor Brewer is expected to name her replacement in the days ahead.
