2017-2019 Wisconsin Budget on Reentry

Throughout 2016, Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch worked with service providers, non-profit and faith-based groups, advocates, and state and local government agencies to tackle the challenges facing people reentering society after serving time in jail or prison. As part of this initiative, she talked with staff, volunteers, and residents at institutions and organizations across Wisconsin. We’re pleased that Governor Walker’s 2017-19 budget, which was introduced, contains a number of new and additional investments in programs to enhance vocational training, employment, and community connections.
