Secretary Raemisch Appoints New Superintendent of
Marshall E. Sherrer Correctional Center
MADISON – Department of Corrections (DOC) Secretary Rick Raemisch today
announced the appointment of Jeff Radcliffe as Superintendent of the
Marshall E. Sherrer Correctional Center (MESCC) in Milwaukee.
“Jeff Radcliffe brings nearly three decades of corrections experience to
his new management role,” Secretary Raemisch said. “His wide range of
leadership skills and diverse experience in corrections will be a great
asset to the center and its mission to promote public safety through
successful offender reentry. He will play an important role in advancing
the center’s focus on providing job experience and employment readiness
through work-release programs, as well as treatment, education,
community service and other programs to prepare offenders for a
successful reentry.”
Radcliffe began his DOC career in 1979 as a Probation and Parole
Agent, working in Milwaukee and Racine. In 1992, he promoted to
Corrections Field Supervisor in Milwaukee. Since 2001, he has been
Corrections Unit Supervisor at the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF).
In this role, he oversaw the development of the 174-bed Alternative to
Revocation Program. Radcliffe also co-chairs the DOC's Alternative to
Revocation Steering Committee. He is a 1996 graduate of the Department’s
Leadership Development Program.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison in 1977.
Radcliffe succeeds former MESCC Superintendent Sharon Williams, who
last year was named Regional Chief of the Division of Community
Corrections region serving Milwaukee County. MESCC is one of 13
facilities operated under the Wisconsin Correctional Center System
within the Division of Adult Institutions, housing offenders in their
last months of incarceration before they complete their prison sentences
and are released to the community. Radcliffe’s appointment takes effect
Feb. 3, 2008.
