INTRODUCTION
Felmers
Chaney Correctional Center is located at the intersection of 30th and Hadley
streets in Milwaukee.
The Felmers Chaney Correctional Center
(FCCC) was opened in 2000, which replaced the Abode and St. John's Correctional Centers.
The Center is a one-story brick building with two separate wings, north and south with 50
beds each used for inmate housing. The main floor is used for offices, visiting and food
service.
PROGRAMS
FCCC's primary focus and requirement for
all inmates is to be physically prepared to function immediately on a work placement.
Additionally, all inmates are required to supplement their work assignment with needed and
appropriate social service programming developed for/with the inmate to address problem
areas.
Treatment programs for AA/NA, Genesis, New
Beginnings, Family Development, Inner City Council on Alcoholism, Prisoner Reintegration
Program, Child Abuse Treatment, Circle of Recovery and individual and group counseling are
available for inmates with identified needs.
FCCC assists offenders participating in
the Felony Drug Offenders Alternative to Prison (FDOATP) program. FDOATP is a prison
diversion program for first time drug offenders. The Center aids in work release placement
for offenders in the program.
Specialized Training and Employment
Project (STEP) is a project which FCCC transitions participants from Racine Correctional
Institution into full employment within the community.
