Chippewa Valley Correctional Treatment Facility (CVCTF) protects inmate confidentiality—including participation in programming and residency status—unless disclosure is authorized or the inmate shares it themselves. The facility offers several ways to report sexual abuse or harassment: tell any staff member, use the PREA hotline, file a complaint, or contact law enforcement. All allegations are investigated. If an inmate is sexually assaulted, they should get to a safe place first, avoid cleaning or changing anything that could affect evidence, and report the abuse as soon as it's safe. To request information or an interview with staff, inmates submit a DOC-761 Interview/Information Request via the unit mailbox or electronically. Wait at least five days before escalating through the chain of command. Inmates must wear issued ID cards on the required lanyard when leaving their room. Standing counts happen at 7:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and 9:15 p.m. Administrative complaints must be filed within 14 days under DOC Administrative Code 310.
