Meet 8-week-old black lab, Mac! Oregon Correctional Center has partnered with Custom Canines #ServiceDog Academy to carefully select two persons in our care to be Mac's handlers until he is 18-24 months old. Their duties include loving, socializing and teaching him basic #obedience until he's ready to assist #military #veterans and #firstresponders with #disabilities. Mac has already had a positive impact and always has an audience who enjoy watching him run around exploring his new surroundings. Several have expressed their joy, mentioning how Mac has brought a new kind of happiness into their lives. With plans to having up to 5 dogs in the future, #WICorrections staff and participants are reveling in his presence and the infectious puppy energy he brings to the center for now. Some even say Mac is like a celebrity. ✨📸 #Wisconsin #corrections #puppy #puppytraining #puppylove #servicedog #servicedogtraining #PTSD #PTSDsupport #Madison #MadisonWI

#Juneteenth, one of the oldest commemorations of the end of #slavery in the United States, serves as an important reminder of the work left to be done while celebrating progress made along the way. “I’m proud to raise this flag in honor of the generations of African Americans who fought for #freedom and for all of those of every background who fight today for #equality,” Secretary Hoy said during #WICorrections annual flag raising ceremony. “No matter your race, religion or background—freedom is something that all Americans understand and celebrate.”

Congratulations to 8 students on becoming the second #WICorrections group to earn their #bachelorsdegree in Biblical Studies with a minor in #Psychology last week! 🎓 Despite challenges including pandemic precautions during the initial year and the program's relocation to Fox Lake Correctional Institution last year, these #graduates persevered and completed all required coursework. The four-year program is delivered at no cost to students or taxpayers, thanks to our valuable partnerships with Trinity International University and the Wisconsin Inmate Education Association, who covers 100% of the #tuition. #reentry #reentrymatters #Wisconsin #corrections #education #collegeeducation #secondchances #college #graduation #collegegraduates #collegegraduation #biblicalstudies #collegegrads
