Stanley Correctional Institution

Up next in legislation and funding, a draft bipartisan plan would authorize $628.7 million in bonds to overhaul seven Wisconsin correctional facilities, closing Green Bay Correctional Institution no earlier than 2031, and rebuilding Wakbun Correctional Institution for $258.5 million.

The proposal would convert the Lincoln Hills juvenile facility into a 500-bed adult prison, expand the Taychita, Jackson, and Sangerby Powers facilities, and permit flexible security use at Stanley Correctional Institution.

Overall prison capacity would rise by 530 beds.

Lawmakers expect to introduce the bill in January.
