School Overview
It is important to note that the **Prairie du Chien Correctional Institution (PDCI)** is not an academic school in the traditional sense, but rather a medium-security correctional facility operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Located in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, the institution serves as a secure environment for adult male offenders, focusing on public safety, secure confinement, and the administration of rehabilitative programming.

While the facility is a prison, it incorporates educational and vocational components as part of its correctional mission. The institution offers programming designed to help inmates improve their educational standing and gain job skills, which are intended to support successful reentry into society. These services often include Adult Basic Education (ABE), GED/HSED preparation, and vocational training programs, all managed under the oversight of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections to ensure compliance with state correctional standards.
