DOC: Racine Youthful Offender Correction al Facility

The **Racine Youthful Offender Correctional Facility**, often associated with the Warren Young Young Adult Correctional Facility, is a state-run institution located in Racine, Wisconsin, operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Unlike a traditional academic school, this facility serves as a secure correctional setting specifically designed for male offenders between the ages of 17 and 25. The institution is structured to provide a controlled environment that emphasizes safety, security, and rehabilitation for young adults who have been processed through the criminal justice system.

Within this facility, the educational component is a critical part of the rehabilitative process, functioning similarly to an alternative or vocational school. Residents are typically provided with opportunities to work toward their High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) or General Educational Development (GED) certificate. Additionally, the programming often includes vocational training, life skills development, and behavioral health support, all aimed at helping these young men successfully reintegrate into society and reduce the likelihood of recidivism upon their release.
