Unit Program Summary
The Admission Unit provides inmates received from the Department of
Corrections an orientation to the Wisconsin Resource Center, its
procedures, rules and available programs. After completion of the
Admission Unit program inmates will have a general knowledge of WRC,
various departments, institutional procedures and methods for obtaining
services. The program prepares inmates to be successful in their stay at
WRC by focusing the inmate on improved compliance to verbal and written
directions. Appropriate communications with all staff and other inmates
is encouraged in all day to day contacts. The program further provides
preparation for functioning on the open units of WRC and participation
in treatment programs. All new admits to WRC are assessed by the
Admission team within 15 working days of arrival with the intent to
place the inmate in the most appropriate unit environment to meet the
clinical and social needs of the individual while maintaining balance
with security and safety issues.
