Brian Weigel

Brian Weigel, a 16-year law enforcement veteran, has been named warden of transitional facilities for the North Dakota Prisons Division. Weigel’s focus will be to ensure inmates with three years or fewer remaining on their sentence are adequately prepared for reentry. Weigel will also determine which inmates are eligible for lower-security housing. Prior to his recent appointment Weigel served for four years as a patrol officer with the Bismarck Police Department, after which he became a parole officer with the Department of Corrections. He was promoted to sex offender specialist, then to coordinator of the drug and DUI courts, and most recently was the director of inmate classification.
