An Arizona state prison warden has died after being hospitalized over the weekend, the state Department of Corrections said.
Edwin Jensen was a warden at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Yuma, which houses more than 4,400 incarcerated people near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Department spokesperson Bill Lamoreaux said "we will not be issuing a statement at this time, out of respect for his family and the ADCRR who continue to grieve."
Yuma County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Sam Pavlak said Jensen was hospitalized at Yuma Regional Medical Center over the weekend.
