Following an independent investigation by a Philadelphia-based law firm, as well as a criminal investigation conducted by Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo, Dauphin County Director of Corrections Brian Clark went back to work Monday.
Clark was placed on paid leave by the Dauphin County Prison Board on Aug. 29 pending the outcome of an investigation into accusations of his conduct being inappropriate. The prison board voted to reinstate Clark on Dec. 16 after having reviewed feedback from both investigations.
POTTSVILLE â Some Schuylkill County prisoners will continue to serve their sentences elsewhere, as the commissioners on Wednesday approved an agreement to send inmates to Columbia County in 2021.

At the last county Prison Board meeting on Dec. 9, Warden David J. Wapinsky said there were 28 inmates at other prisons: 15 in Centre; nine in Northumberland; and four in Columbia.
