Leaders in Milwaukee are going to have to decide if they want a new prison on the city’s northwest side.
The common council is scheduled to vote tomorrow on the land sale that will eventually lead to new juvenile prisons along West Clinton Avenue. The new prisons will close the troubled Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake facilities, but there has been some opposition to building a new prison in Milwaukee. That area of the city currently doesn’t have an alderman. That’s the area Chantia Lewis represented before she was removed from office last month after a corruption plea.
