Who is the current acting Warden?

• A. Major Michael Nessinger
• B. Major Anthony Lepore
• C. Director David Tomasso
• D. Captain James Smith

Answer: (A)

When leadership at a detention center is needed on a temporary basis, an acting warden steps in to run the facility and keep operations, safety, and security functioning smoothly while a permanent appointment is arranged. This role is filled by a high-ranking, experienced corrections officer who can oversee daily operations, enforce policy, supervise staff, and coordinate with external agencies as needed.

At the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Center, the current acting warden is Major Michael Nessinger. He would be responsible for overseeing the facility’s day-to-day operations, implementing procedures, and ensuring the safety of both inmates and staff during this transitional period.

The other names listed hold different positions or ranks within the organization, such as a director who would oversee the department at a higher level or captains and majors who report within the on-site chain of command but aren’t serving as the facility’s acting warden in this context.
