What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows the Department of Corrections to contract for a new Type 1

juvenile correctional facility in Milwaukee County.

Under current law, juveniles that are adjudged delinquent of certain acts can

be placed in a secured Type 1 juvenile correctional facility. Currently, the Lincoln

Hills School for Boys, Copper Lake School for Girls, and Mendota Juvenile

Treatment Center are the only Type 1 juvenile correctional facilities in Wisconsin.

Current law also permits DOC to designate a residential care center for children and

youth as a Type 2 juvenile correctional facility. A juvenile that is placed in a Type

2 juvenile correctional facility and given Type 2 status under current law may, if he

or she violates a condition of the Type 2 placement, be placed in a Type 1 juvenile

correctional facility without a hearing or court order.

This bill requires DOC to contract for the supervision, maintenance, and

operation of a new Type 1 juvenile correctional facility in Milwaukee County to be

located at the same site as a Type 2 residential care center for children and youth.
