Under current law, the department of corrections (DOC) is authorized to purchase or accept a gift of land and an existing facility for a suitable site selected by the building commission for an additional secured juvenile correctional facility. Currently, the site selected by the building commission for that facility is located at Prairie du Chien in Crawford County. This bill authorizes DOC, from July 1, 1997, until July 1, 1998, to operate the secured juvenile correctional facility at Prairie du Chien as a state prison for young adult prisoners.
