The Department of Corrections says Warden Jeremy Howard has been placed on "personal leave."
This comes after public scrutiny over three recent deaths within a month at Women’s Huron Valley correctional facility.
Jacara Moore spent 8 years in the facility under Howard's leadership.
“I hope that the next warden can be a listener and just show that they care like actions speak louder than words show that you care.”
Michelle Floyd has spent over 6 years as the warden at Cooper Street Correctional Facility near Jackson.
She is assigned to replace Howard for now.
