WI DOC - Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center - Inmate Handbook

The Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center (REECC) is a minimum-security facility exclusively for female offenders, situated on over 25 acres adjacent to the Southern Wisconsin Center for the Developmentally Disabled in the Township of Dover near Union Grove. Despite being housed in a single building, REECC comprises three distinct housing units: a pre-release unit accommodating 101 inmates eligible for community release programs, a non-pre-release unit housing 232 inmates not yet qualified for such programs, and a 12-bed temporary lock-up unit utilized for inmates from REECC and Milwaukee Women's Correctional Center.

At REECC, the emphasis is on providing a safe, secure environment for both the surrounding communities and the incarcerated individuals while preparing them for successful reintegration into society. Various programs are offered to equip inmates with the necessary skills for productive, law-abiding lives post-release. These encompass education, substance abuse treatment, re-entry assistance, family reintegration support, grief counseling, religious instruction, and more.

As part of the Wisconsin Women's Correctional System, REECC is supervised by the Taycheedah Correctional Institution warden, alongside the Milwaukee Women's Correctional Center. REECC operates several key programs, including the Earned Release Program (ERP), designed for moderate-to-high-risk inmates utilizing the Thinking for a Change (T4C) and Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Substance Abuse (CBISA) curricula. Additionally, the center offers a low-risk ERP variant using the CBISA curriculum, each lasting approximately 20 weeks.

REECC also emphasizes vocational training and employment opportunities through its work release program, allowing inmates to gain job skills, develop a positive work ethic, and contribute financially towards their obligations. Educational offerings at REECC include tutoring, GED/HSED preparation, and technical/vocational education.

Furthermore, inmates are encouraged to participate in community service programs as part of their rehabilitation journey, fostering a sense of responsibility and connection with the broader community. REECC strives to facilitate successful reintegration into society and reduce recidivism rates among female offenders through a holistic approach encompassing education, vocational training, and community engagement.
