It depends on the type of facility and what level of warden. For a warden who is responsible for a whole Complex (multiple units of varying custody levels), $85,000 to start is a safe estimate. Many Complex Wardens can earn in the 100K+. Deputy Wardens, who are responsible for individual units within a prison complex, can expect to start in the $55,000 range. There are different levels of Deputy Wardens. For instance, a Deputy Warden of Operations can directly supervise Deputy Warden's but still is under the supervision of a Warden (or Complex Warden). An Associate Deputy Warden is sort of an entry level administrator who is under the direction of a Deputy Warden. Additionally, a Deputy Warden of a higher custody level facility will likely make more than that of a lower or medium custody unit. Most Warden level positions will require a Bachelor's degree with many more agencies now recommending Master's degrees.

Around 100K average. For State prisons, the more Demographics the higher the salaries are and vise versa. For Federal prisons, there's only 114 of them (including 1 supermax) so to be a warden there, is, not only extremely difficult, but they get top dollar because it is the highest on the prison hierarchy.

He would be a GS-15 unless he made Senior Executive Service. So depending on his promotions he is making between 100,000 to 125,000 in base salary. He can also qualify for performance bonuses. Believe me it is not enough money for all the responsibilities this man has! No where near enough. Try working in his position just one day behind those bards and walls. It is no fun at all! It is a very dangerous job.
