Wisconsin governor floats plan to close 19th-century prison and overhaul corrections system

  • Wisconsin governor Tony Evers proposed closing the 19th-century prison in Green Bay and overhauling the state's corrections system to address aging facilities, deaths, assaults, and high costs.
  • The $500 million plan includes building a new juvenile facility near Madison, converting prisons for different security levels, and expanding earned release programs for non-violent offenders.
  • The plan would require approval from the Republican-controlled legislature, which has previously blocked some initiatives by the Democratic governor.
