Sacramento -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's top prison administrator has resigned after two stormy years overseeing a troubled correctional system that Schwarzenegger has struggled to turn around.

Roderick Q. Hickman, who took over as secretary of corrections the day Schwarzenegger was sworn in as governor, told administration officials Saturday that he was quitting his job.
