Project RETURN is an organization that helps formerly incarcerated people return to the community. For the first time in its 45-year history, the organization is providing housing.

Last week, Wisconsin Sen. LaTonya Johnson addressed the large racial disparities impacting Black Wisconsinites.

The governor wants to close the Green Bay Correctional Institution, where hundreds of inmates were convicted in southeastern Wisconsin.

In recent years, the Milwaukee County Community Reintegration Center has shifted from an emphasis on punishment toward evidence-based practices that have been shown to reduce recidivism.

Providing phone and video calls from prison is a billion-dollar industry, with incarcerated people footing the bill. WISDOM aims to change this by making phone and video calls from prison free in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin prisons are restricting used book delivery as part of an effort to stop drug smuggling into prisons. Critics say this restricts prisoner access to information while doing little to slow the flow of contraband.

A Wisconsin prison warden was jailed just hours before a scheduled news conference where officials planned to discuss the findings of investigations into multiple deaths at his facility. Online records show that Waupun Correctional Institution Warden Randall Hepp was booked into the Dodge County Jail on Wednesday morning.

The Green Bay Correctional Institution is the target of an unusual roundtable at the state Capitol.

The maximum security prison located in Waupun, Wisconsin, has been on some form of lockdown for more than a year, and prisoners have reported dire conditions at the prison.

In Wisconsin, advocates are protesting the increase in prison lockdowns they say lead to inhumane conditions. While the Governor has recently announced reforms, advocates say they don't go far enough.
