Joseph DeMore Appointed Warden of the Butler County Prison
BUTLER, Pa. — The Butler County Prison Board announced today the appointment of Joseph DeMore of
Pittsburgh as warden of the Butler County Prison. Mr. DeMore begins his employment with the County on
April 27, 2015, and will take over as warden upon the July 10 retirement of current Butler County Prison
Warden Rick Shaffer. Mr. DeMore comes to the position from 15 years
with the Allegheny County Bureau of Corrections, most recently as
chief deputy warden of operations.
“Mr. DeMore has tremendous experience and top-notch qualifications in the
corrections field,” said Prison Board Chairman and County Commissioner
A. Dale Pinkerton. “He will be a great asset to Butler County.”
Since beginning his corrections career with the Allegheny County Jail in
2000, Mr. DeMore has served in a variety of increasingly responsible positions,
from corrections officer (2000-2003) to sergeant (2003-2006), captain (2006-
2013), major of the guard (2013-2014), and deputy warden of operations (2014
to present). In his current position, he oversees the daily operations of the 3,165-
bed facility, including supervision of more than 500 corrections officers, 400
civilian employees, and a daily average inmate population of 2,600. Originally
from Shaler, PA, he holds a bachelor of arts degree in political science from
Slippery Rock University and is a member of the American Correctional Association, the PA Prison Warden
Association, the U.S. Deputy Warden Association, and the PA County Corrections Association.
