Listen as the incarcerated emcee of Missouri's first historic TEDx event inside a prison interviews the warden. Born on F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Warden Vandergriff has lived in Missouri for the past 26 years. She began her career in Corrections in 2005 as a Corrections Officer 1 at Potosi Correctional Center (PCC) and moved up the ranks. In addition to PCC, Warden Vandergriff has worked at Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center (ERDCC) and Farmington Correctional Center (FCC) in the following positions: Corrections Officer, Substance Abuse Counselor, Caseworker, Functional Unit Manager, Assistant Warden, Deputy Warden and Warden, a post she has held at FCC since July 2017. Warden Vandergriff’s goal is for FCC to become the leading national model for reentry. Apart from her many duties at FCC, she enjoys reading and spending time with her family. Corrections runs in the family: her husband is PCC Warden David Vandergriff. Warden Vandergriff holds an M.S. in Criminal Justice Administration from Southeast Missouri State University.
