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.
