DOC understands the crucial role that support from family and friends plays in rehabilitation and successful reentry into the community. As part of our commitment to serving the people of Wisconsin with transparency and accountable decision-making, Friends & Family Forums will provide an opportunity for those directly engaged with our agency to ask questions, offer feedback and positively contribute to our state's corrections policies.
To foster a supportive environment for productive dialogue, attendance at the forums is limited to friends and family members of individuals who are currently incarcerated or on active community supervision.
Navigating incarceration and community supervision can be a complex process, not only for those in our care, but for their loved ones. This
Friends & Family Resource Guide was created to help individuals better understand the agency's processes, procedures and more.
