威斯康辛州在改革条件和规划社区替代措施之后,结束了对青年设施的联邦监督。 Wisconsin ends federal oversight of youth facilities after reforming conditions and planning community-based replacements.

威斯康星州在很大程度上遵守了一项联邦同意令,要求对其林肯山和铜湖少年设施进行改革,在2017年对虐待和恶劣条件提起诉讼后结束了长达十年的法院监督。 Wisconsin has achieved substantial compliance with a federal consent decree requiring reforms at its Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake juvenile facilities, ending a decade-long court oversight following a 2017 lawsuit over abuse and harsh conditions. 关键的变化包括禁止惩罚性单独监禁和胡椒喷雾、减少限制、改善心理健康和教育服务。 Key changes include banning punitive solitary confinement and pepper spray, reducing restraints, and improving mental health and education services. 该州得到美国公民自由联盟的支持,要求联邦法院进行最终监测,为关闭这两个设施铺平了道路,代之以密尔瓦基和菲奇堡的新的社区中心,并计划建造更多的设施。 The state, supported by the ACLU, has requested the federal court end monitoring, paving the way to close the two facilities and replace them with new community-based centers in Milwaukee and Fitchburg, with more facilities planned. 虽然官员认为进展是一个重大里程碑,但倡导者敦促继续注重减少青年监禁和投资于社区替代办法。 While officials call the progress a major milestone, advocates urge continued focus on reducing youth incarceration and investing in community alternatives.
