WI DOC - Oakhill Correctional Institution (OCI) - Inmate Handbook

Oakhill Correctional Institution (OCI) is a minimum-security state prison nestled in Dane County, Wisconsin, originally established in 1941 as the Wisconsin School for Girls. However, in 1976, it underwent conversion to accommodate adult males in a minimum custody setting. Presently, OCI houses around 685 inmates and employs a staff of 265 individuals, with 177 dedicated to security roles. The institution maintains security with a 6,000-foot-long stun fence encompassing the premises.

At OCI, a range of pre-release programs is offered to facilitate offenders' transition back into society upon discharge from the Department of Corrections. Moreover, the facility engages inmates in productive work through the Badger State Industries program, focusing on upholstery/re-upholstery and refinishing operations. Technical training opportunities abound, covering areas such as horticulture, food preparation services, and various construction disciplines. Additionally, OCI prioritizes education by providing adult basic education and GED courses to its inmate population. A comprehensive suite of programs, including anger management, Narcotics/Alcoholics Anonymous, victim awareness, cognitive intervention, and parenting classes, aims to address diverse needs and promote rehabilitation.

The overarching goal of OCI is to ensure the safe and secure custody of minimum-security offenders while fostering a responsive, supportive, equitable, and quality environment. Central to this mission is preparing offenders for successful reintegration into the community through education, treatment programs, work release opportunities, and pre-release programming.

Established in 1941, OCI has a rich historical legacy and is recognized as a historical site in the State Historical Society Register. OCI operates the Security Unit at UW Hospitals and Clinics, a maximum-security 10-bed in-patient unit providing specialized medical care for inmates from all Wisconsin correctional facilities.
