Mission Statement
The Division of Adult Institutions (DAI) protects the public through secure and humane treatment of inmates committed to its custody and affords inmates the opportunity to gain skills and insight into their criminal behavior that are needed to support a crime-free life upon release to the community.
 
Goals

  • Promote public safety and offender success from admission to custody through re-entry and supervision in the community

  • Provide safe and secure correctional institutions for the public, staff, and offenders
  • Provide productive inmate programs and work activities
  • Maintain positive institution living and work environments
  • Responsibly manage human and fiscal resources
  • Maintain cooperative working relationships with the external environment

The Division oversees 20 adult correctional facilities and three bureaus. The Division is also responsible for the administration of the Wisconsin Correctional Center System, a state prison which encompasses 16 Correctional Centers located throughout the state housing approximately 2,150 inmates.   Center staff work closely with probation and parole agents in the transition of inmates back into the community. Correctional Centers offer programming which includes basic education, alcohol and drug counseling, cognitive intervention, work experience and work release.  To check out institution operating capacities and populations, click here.
