Objectives
To provide a secure environment with options for the highest level of
control and management interventions to address inmate/patient behaviors
that present a significant danger to self or others, or which present a
severe disruptive potential to the operation of the institution. Once
the presenting behavior has been stabilized, the unit treatment team
will initiate programming to minimize relapse of the immediate behavior
and attempt to return the inmate/patient to the home unit in a timely
manner. For inmates, the unit also has a role of implementing
restrictive dispositions pursuant to DOC 303 (Wisconsin Administrative
Code), as adapted at WRC to enforce inmate discipline.
Unit Program Summary
The High Management Unit provides a secure environment for the
institution and inmate. An inmate placed onto this unit has previously
exhibited a significant threat to the safety and security of the
individual or the facility. Once the immediate presenting behavior has
diminished the inmate is reviewed for placement to a lower management
unit.
