RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction has recognized Warden David Millis of Craven Correctional Institution as its warden of the year, and its nominee for the warden of the year honors from the North American Association of Wardens and Superintendents.
“Warden Millis’ commitment to professional development, innovation, and fostering a positive work environment has undoubtedly contributed to the success at Craven Correctional Institution,” said Secretary Todd Ishee. “His leadership style, marked by transparency, empathy, and a focus on continuous improvement, has elevated standards and inspired those around him.”
As warden of Craven Correctional, Millis manages a staff of 325 and a maximum offender population of 850. Craven is one of a few diagnostic centers, where male offenders are admitted into the state’s correctional system. It is also the busiest, processing as many as 7,100 offenders a year. A light day brings 10-15 new admissions, and a heavy day can mean 60 to 100.
