Lawmakers are seeking to make changes in the adult corrections system in Wisconsin. This new goal comes after lawmakers made landmark changes to the state’s juvenile corrections system.
Legislators believe it’s time to make sweeping changes in the adult prison as the population of offenders in Wisconsin continues to rise. One thing lawmakers want to tackle is confronting the reasons why offenders are locked up in the first place, instead of promoting legislation that will just add to the increase of prisoners in the state.
