State corrections officials today named new leaders in the Wake and Durham probation offices as well as a regional office after the arrest of two probationers on murder charges exposed mismanagement in the offices.

Diane Isaacs was named assistant chief for community corrections in a 21-county region that covers Wake, Durham and Cumberland counties. She had been serving as assistant interim manager for the probation office in Wake County and previously was a manager for a district covering Hoke and Scotland counties.

Margaret Brewer was named judicial district manager in Wake County. She will oversee a staff of 141 employees who supervise about 7,400 offenders. Brewer previously served as chief probation/parole officer in Wake County.

More after the jump.
