School Overview

The Gordon Correctional Center is a minimum-security correctional facility for adult males located in Douglas County, Wisconsin. Operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, the facility is designed to focus on rehabilitation, work release, and community reintegration. Because it functions as a minimum-security site, the center emphasizes structured programming and supervised work opportunities, allowing eligible inmates to contribute to the local economy and gain vocational experience before their release.

The facility’s primary mission is to provide a safe, secure environment that promotes positive behavioral change and prepares individuals for successful re-entry into society. It operates with a strong focus on community service and work-based assignments, reflecting the Department of Corrections' broader commitment to reducing recidivism. Visitors and family members looking to connect with residents are encouraged to consult the official Wisconsin Department of Corrections website for specific visitation guidelines, security protocols, and procedural updates.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
