WI DOC - Oregon Correctional Center - Inmate Handbook

The Oregon Correctional Center (OCC), situated just south of Madison near Highway 14, is a 120-bed adult male minimum-security facility. Originally established in 1928 as a correctional farm, it underwent several transitions over the years. While formerly known as the Oregon Correctional Center and Farm, its inmate labor provision for the farm operation shifted to Oakhill Correctional Institution in 2004. Presently, OCC operates with an average capacity of 112 adult male inmates and is an integral part of the Wisconsin Correctional Center System, overseen centrally by a warden in Madison.

At OCC, inmates have access to work release programs aimed at facilitating employment opportunities with local employers. Emphasis is placed on maintaining employment post-release, with funds earned during work release utilized for various obligations, including fees, restitution, and savings for reentry. The center's staff endeavors to assist inmates in preparing for successful reintegration into their communities, fostering positive attitudes, work ethics, and respect for themselves and others.

The primary initiatives at OCC include work release and project crews, with work release jobs employing a significant number of inmates in surrounding communities. Money earned by inmates contributes to covering their expenses while also addressing financial obligations such as child support, court-ordered payments, and establishing savings for reentry. Moreover, OCC offers standardized pre-release curriculum and employability skills training to enhance inmates' job prospects upon release. Alcohol treatment programs, including on-site and off-site Alcoholics Anonymous sessions, are also provided.

Community enhancement activities play a crucial role at OCC, with the project crew assisting local government agencies and non-profit organizations on various work projects. In collaboration with the Department of Natural Resources, OCC is involved in raising pheasants for release into local communities to support youth hunts and hunters' education programs. Overall, OCC's programs are designed to instill good work habits, a sense of responsibility, and motivation among inmates, ultimately contributing to their successful reintegration into society.
