INTRODUCTION
The
McNaughton
Correctional
Center is located just west of the Town
of Lake Tomahawk, on County Road D, in Oneida County.
The Center is made up of seven buildings and is located on a
60 acre parcel on Little Lake Tomahawk Lake.
The Center was
originally built as a state hospital facility for the treatment of
tuberculosis patients.
It became a state correctional forestry camp, receiving inmates
transferred from the Green Bay Reformatory in 1956.
The original McNaughton State Prison Camp, located south of Lake Tomahawk
off U.S. Highway 47, dated back to the 1930’s.
The
Center has a rated capacity of 84 inmates and an emergency capacity
of 102 for adult males.
Inmates at McNaughton Correctional
Center have been transferred to the
facility from major prisons and other centers and will soon be
released to their home communities across
Wisconsin.
PROGRAMS
All inmates are
assigned to full-time work assignments supporting center operations.
A project crew of 12 inmates works off-grounds daily,
completing community service and forestry projects.
On grounds, GED/HSED classes, a small production woodshop,
and chemical dependency support groups are available.
The Center
places fifty to sixty inmates out on work release and project crew
assignments in local communities.
