School Overview

Oakhill Correctional Institution (OCI) is a minimum-security prison for adult males located in Oregon, Wisconsin, and is operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Originally established on the site of a former state tuberculosis sanatorium, the facility is designed to focus on rehabilitation, vocational training, and workforce preparation. It serves as a transition-oriented environment, housing inmates who are typically nearing the end of their sentences or who have been classified as requiring lower levels of supervision.

The institution emphasizes "correctional programming" aimed at reducing recidivism through education, work assignments, and behavioral treatment. Residents at Oakhill are expected to participate in institutional work programs, which may include maintenance, food service, or other facility-related tasks, as well as educational programs designed to help them earn GEDs or develop technical skills. By maintaining a focus on structure and preparation for reintegration, Oakhill functions as a key component of the state’s strategy to transition individuals back into their communities as productive citizens.

Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

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).
