Jackson County names new Deputy Director of Corrections

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jackson County is proud to announce the newest Associate to its Executive Team. Diana Turner will serve as Deputy Director of the Jackson County Department of Corrections.

Turner brings with her more than 20 years of knowledge and expertise in the corrections field, overseeing juveniles and adults through positions at the federal, state and municipal levels.

She most recently served as Director of Residential Services for the Jackson County Family Court. During her tenure, the two juvenile detention facilities for which she was responsible achieved reaccreditation. Both are positioned to successfully pass an American Correctional Association (ACA) audit in 2018.

“Diana is a strong addition to our team and I am excited to have her on board,” said Jackson County Executive Frank White, Jr. “Her wide-range of experience shows she has the passion, integrity and determination to be an effective leader and get results. The Corrections team and I look forward to working with her.”

Turner takes pride in her ability to effectively manage staff working in a high-stress environment, develop programs and procedures for optimal efficiency and foster a culture of accountability.

“This is a great opportunity for me to combine my skills with those of Corrections Director Joe Piccinini,” Turner said. “Together, we will work to ensure the safety and security of inmates, staff and the public. It will always be our top priority.”

A native of Chanute, Kansas, Turner has a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice Administration. In 2016, she completed the certified court manager program through the National Center for State Courts.

Turner will be introduced at the Jackson County Legislative meeting at 2:30 p.m. today on the second floor of the downtown Jackson County Courthouse.

  8. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

  9. Are they going to continue to allow corrections officers to smuggle drugs and cell phones into the jail to sell to prisoners? That has been a common practice at the jail.

  10. Time will tell if she has what it takes or not. Dealing with juveniles and whats in the cages at 13th and Cherry are two different things. But one does have to question if she will be the scrapgoat whose career will go down in flames when she is given no money to fix the issues. Corrections Director Joe Piccinini should be fired and replaced since in the end all this crap is really his fault.

  11. So easy to spout ignorance as is well displayed by most of these comments. Such a dysfunctional set of replies.

  13. Typical Jackson County, just adding more management, or to make this hire did Frank finally fire somebody over this cluster fuck crisis?

  14. Her first official directive will include installing tampon dispensers in the female facilities and reducing County liability by holding instructional classes with male guards on how to use a condom.

  15. Best of luck to her, but she's the meat in an "Incompetence Sandwich", with thick slices of it above and below her.

  16. Where is Rex Tarwater? Wasn't he the deputy director at the jail? What about the two new guys they brought in last year who were supposed to be key hires at the jail? My guess is this is an add to staff.

  17. She can't handle it. She doesn't stay at a position long enough, only to wreck havoc!
