MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Department of Corrections Secretary Ed Wall has resigned amid an investigation into allegations of abuse at the state’s youth prison. Gov. Scott Walker announced a replacement Friday, the same day news emerged that a judge sent a letter four years ago warning the governor of possible criminal conduct at the facility. Walker spokeswoman Laurel Patrick says the governor never saw the note and that it had been referred to the Corrections Department. The governor’s staff says Wall submitted his letter of resignation on Feb. 5. He will be replaced by Jon Litscher, who served as the corrections secretary more than a decade ago.
