WI DOC - Milwaukee Women's Correctional Center - Inmate Handbook

The Wisconsin Women's Correctional System, comprising the Milwaukee Women's Correctional Center (MWCC), Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center, and Taycheedah Correctional Institution, was established on August 21, 2005, under the supervision of the TCI warden. MWCC specifically commenced operations in December 2003, serving as a 109-bed minimum security facility located in the City of Milwaukee. Its mission centers on fostering a safe and secure environment for both residents and the surrounding community, while concurrently offering programming and resources to facilitate successful reintegration into families and society. Core values of personal responsibility, trust, and maturity underscore the center's operations, fostering a culture of respect and cooperation among its residents.

MWCC offers Earned Release Programming (ERP) and Work Release opportunities to its residents. ERP, as outlined in Wisconsin State Statutes, provides community-based programming as an alternative to revocation, incorporating evidence-based, gender-responsive curriculums that address substance use, trauma, anger management, and coping skills. Participants engage in intensive group sessions, individual counseling, and community service initiatives within Milwaukee. Meanwhile, Work Release initiatives afford residents employment opportunities, beginning with on-site projects before transitioning to placements with external employers. These partnerships facilitate work experience, financial savings, and post-release job retention for qualifying individuals.

Moreover, MWCC extends various supplementary opportunities to its residents, including access to a DWD Job Center, parenting and trauma survivor support, release planning assistance, religious services, ServSafe Certification, driver's license acquisition assistance, leisure activities, and educational programs. These comprehensive offerings aim to equip residents with the tools and skills necessary for successful reintegration into society, emphasizing personal growth, self-sufficiency, and community engagement. Through a combination of structured programming and supportive resources, MWCC strives to empower its residents to lead productive and fulfilling lives beyond the confines of the correctional facility.
