WVA Prison Chief Named To Head Federal Bureau Of Prisons
William “Billy” Marshall, head of the West Virginia corrections department, has been selected to lead the federal Bureau of Prisons, a Trump administration choice that took advocates for federal prison staff and incarcerated people aback, reports the Los Angeles Times. “Billy is a Strong Advocate for LAW AND ORDER,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He understands the struggles of our prisons better than anyone, and will help fix our broken Criminal Justice System.” Marshall will run an agency that has been understaffed and plagued by scandal for years. The bureau has recently faced congressional scrutiny, and its union leaders are unhappy about Trump's order to end collective bargaining for federal workers.
