SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Dept. of Corrections Executive Director Brian Nielson announced he will retire from the post.
Nielson, who has served in Governor Spencer Cox's cabinet for the past two years, said he will be leaving in mid-May.

Nielson has overseen the state's prison system through some of its biggest challenges including navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, the move of the Draper prison to a new facility in Salt Lake City and severe staffing shortages that have plagued the agency."We’re grateful for the contributions Brian has made to the state of Utah and appreciate his hard work and dedication," he said.
