Wyoming County Fires Prison Warden – ROCKET-COURIER
Heather Schmidt
TUNKHANNOCK — The Wyoming County Prison Board today (June 16) voted to ratify the termination of Heather Schmidt as the warden of the Wyoming County Correctional Facility (WCCF).
Schmidt, a 1996 graduate of Wyalusing Valley High School, had served as the warden since January 2025.
Previous to that, she had served as the facility’s training lieutenant and its deputy warden.
No reason was given as to why Schmidt was terminated. She has been on administrative leave since May 1.
Members of the prison board noted that the issue was a “personnel matter.”
The county is currently advertising for a new warden at the WCCF.
Further reporting on this matter will appear in this week’s edition of the Rocket-Courier.
