威斯康星州Milwaukee新青少年惩教中心即将启用 可容纳32名青少年

据TMJ4报道,威斯康星州正在准备启用位于Milwaukee的新青少年惩教设施——东南区域青少年照护中心。州长托尼·埃弗斯10月14日参观了这座位于西克林顿大道7930号的新设施,称其为改造该州青少年惩教体系的重要一步。
这座设施造价6560万美元,内设录音室、体育馆、教室,以及用于咨询、职业培训和技能学习的空间。设施最终可容纳多达32名来自威斯康星州东南部的青少年男孩,州官员预计第一批青少年将于11月初入住。
州政府表示,新设施的设计体现了该州青少年司法思路的转变:从大型、偏远的惩教机构,转向规模较小、侧重治疗、教育、责任与改造的区域性设施。这一项目是威斯康星州多年推进的青少年惩教改革的一部分。

Wisconsin Prepares to Open $65.6 Million Youth Facility in Milwaukee Focused on Rehabilitation
Wisconsin is preparing to open a new youth correctional facility in Milwaukee, the Southeast Regional Care Center for Youth, TMJ4 reported. Governor Tony Evers toured the new facility at 7930 W. Clinton Avenue on Wednesday, October 14, calling it an important step in the effort to transform Wisconsin's juvenile corrections system.
The $65.6 million facility includes a recording studio, a gymnasium, classrooms, and spaces for counseling, job training and learning new skills. The center will eventually house up to 32 boys from southeastern Wisconsin, and state officials expect the first group to arrive in early November.
State officials say the facility is designed to change how Wisconsin works with young people in its juvenile justice system, moving away from large, isolated correctional institutions toward smaller facilities focused on treatment, education, accountability and rehabilitation.
