Cheshire County House of Corrections.

Superintendent Van Wickler is an engaging speaker, highly recommended speaker, who will discuss the subject, and who will engage in questions and answers, after his talk. He is a 26 year veteran of an active division of the US Army, and began his career in corrections in 1987, at the Merrimack County Jail. He was appointed Superintendent of the Cheshire County House
of Corrections, in 1993, at a time that the Cheshire County Jail faced significant litigation in Federal Court. He was tasked with revitalizing an agency that was in need of training, structure and professionalism. He is the founder of Chameleon Consulting, and a faculty member for Justice Studies, at Keene State College and NH Community Technical College.
