Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law allows the Department of Corrections (DOC) to enter into an agreement or contract with another state to transfer inmates imprisoned in Wisconsin to the other state for imprisonment in the other state, but does not allow the transfer of inmates from other states to Wisconsin for imprisonment here.
