MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) has begun the new year with 58 new correctional officers and one correctional lieutenant.
The new officers graduated Dec. 21 in Madison after completing a seven week training program and are now working at institutions throughout the state.
“I have great appreciation and respect for the jobs correctional officers do day in and day out,” DOC Secretary Ed Wall told the new officers, their families and friends during the graduation ceremony at American Family headquarters. “You are a part of the heart of this department… being successful at achieving its mission and making sure offenders are given the tools they need to be law-abiding citizens once they are released.”
