Governor Evers says he’s going to the state’s troubled Lincoln Hills youth prison tomorrow.
The state plans to close the prison near Tomahawk and build smaller regional facilities for juvenile offenders. He says visiting will make sure he understands the issue directly from the people working there.
Evers promised during the campaign to tour Lincoln Hills. That’s a shift from former Governor Scott Walker. Walker didn’t visit any state prisons during his eight years in office.
