The proposed $325 million Corrections overhaul plan, aiming to reform Wisconsin's prison system, is set to be discussed by the Joint Committee on Finance. Although the Building Commission made no recommendation, the plan to close Green Bay Correctional Institution is still under consideration. The Legislature's Joint Committee on Finance will scrutinize each aspect of Governor Evers' Capital Budget proposal, including prison reform and correctional facility management. The committee's review will determine the fate of the plan, which could significantly impact Wisconsin's correctional system and budget allocation. Key issues like prison closure and rehabilitation programs will be under the spotlight.
