Mike Kemna will oversee seven Missouri Department of Corrections centers as the Adult Institutions division’s Deputy Division Director. His appointment will take effect August 15, 2007.

“Mike Kemna brings 29 years of Department experience to this position, including 19 years as Superintendent,” MODOC Director Larry Crawford said in a statement. “He helped open Western Missouri Correctional Center and Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron. He has a great work ethic and impeccable integrity. Mr. Kemna’s knowledge of institutional operations will assist him in his new capacity.”

In 1978, Kemna joined the MODOC as a probation and parole officer. He became a corrections caseworker in 1981 at the Algoa Correctional Center, and was then promoted to a functional unit manager in 1983. He also was Associate Superintendent at Missouri’s Eastern Correctional Center in 1986 before being promoted to Western Missouri Correctional Center’s superintendent role in 1988. He transferred to the maximum-security Crossroads Correctional Center in 1996 and helped the facility open a year later.

Kemna earned his Bachelor of Science degree in social science in 1978 from Central Missouri State University.
