About Kevin Lindsey
Criminal Justice Career:
I began my career in the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) in 1987 as a Corrections
Officer. Shortly after being promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 1992, I realized
the value of education. As I only had the required 15 college credits to obtain the
position of Corrections Officer, I decided I needed to return to school and obtain
a college degree. While continuing to attend college, I continued to promote in Corrections.
I held numerous positions in corrections, until I ultimately became the Warden of
the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility until my retirement in August of 2019.
Educational Career:
I have taught at several different educational institutions, even becoming the program
chair for Criminal Justice at one college, for five years, until the position became
a full-time position. All total, I have approximately 13 years teaching experience
at various colleges and universities.
Personal:
I am married to my wife Miranda of 20 years, who also works for the Michigan Department
of Corrections as a Classification Director. We have one daughter together, and I
have two older sons from a previous marriage. We have two large dogs (a Great Dane
and a Boxer).
Hobbies:
I enjoy hunting, fishing, cooking, and I also enjoy classic cars.
