Overview
The Southeast Regional Care Center for Youth (SERC), opening in November 2026, is the first of a new kind of juvenile correctional facility for Wisconsin. The center, which will be home for up to 32 boys, is designed around education and rehabilitation.
The Milwaukee location was purposefully chosen to allow youth placed into Department of Corrections’ custody to remain close to their families and community resources. Staff at the facility will help ensure that youth have access to the services needed in the community prior to the youth returning home.
In addition to housing, a school, gym, indoor and outdoor recreation, the facility offers a health services unit with dental and vision care, a psychological services unit, a chapel, music studio, welding and woodworking workshops.
The center is partly powered by a solar array on the roof. Youth will be able to interact with solar panel data on the facility's computers and observe its impact on energy use in real time.
