Daniel Everett Named Warden at Pasquotank Correctional Institution
The Adult Correctional and Juvenile Justice Department has appointed Daniel Everett as the new director of the Pasquotank Correctional Facility in Elizabeth City.
Everett has been assistant overseer of operations at Pamlico Correctional in Bayboro since 2018.
“Warden Everett lived a life of service to our prisons and our country,” said Todd Ishee, Commissioner of Prisons. “He has two decades of hands-on experience and previously worked in the prison he will be running. He is a welcome addition to our team of overseers who work hard to protect our communities with care and commitment. “
In his new position, Everett will be responsible for all operations at the prison, which houses adult men under the strictest and minimal custody.
The prison consists of four buildings which include a visiting area, a recreation area, a dining room, a warehouse, professional and academic classrooms, medical and mental health offices, and administrative offices.
The perpetrators work in the kitchen, in the caretaker service and in maintenance. An educational program prepares offenders for high school equivalence testing and vocational programs.
Everett’s primary goal is to hire and retain highly qualified people.
“We have jobs for dedicated people who are interested in a career in public service to protect their communities,” he said. “These are important jobs with an important mission.”
A longtime state government employee, Everett began his career in the Department of Public Safety in 2000 as a correctional officer with Pasquotank Correctional.
The next year he moved to Craven Correctional, where he was promoted to sergeant in 2003, lieutenant in 2006 and captain in 2009. He returned to Pasquotank in 2018 and was then promoted to Associate Warden in Operations with Pamlico Correctional.
Everett, an Army veteran, served from 1992 to 1998 and had the rank of sergeant.
He holds a General Training Certificate for the North Carolina Criminal Justice and Training Standards and is an instructor in cell extraction, pepper spray use and controls, restraint and defense techniques.
His hobbies include sports and fishing.
