INW: New Prison Deputy Rebounds

Idaho Deputy Chief of Prisons Josh Tewalt tours the medium security Idaho State Correctional Institution recently in his second week on the job in Kuna. Tewalt has bounced back from three DUI arrests of his own between 2002 and 2006, which forced him out of state government work. Statesman story here. Also: Dan Popkey wonders if the Corrections Department blocked access to his story comments here. (AP Photo/Statesman, Joe Jaszewski)

Question: Is a guy with 3 DUI arrests in his past the right guy to pick for deputy chief of Idaho Corrections Department?
