Joshua Glover Residential Reentry Center

Founded in 1912, Wisconsin Community Services (WCS) is a nonprofit that provides behavioral health treatment, criminal justice services, and community support across Wisconsin. WCS operates the Joshua Glover Residential Reentry Center in Milwaukee for men on probation or parole under Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) supervision. The 36-bed residential program combine substance use and mental health treatment with practical reentry support to help residents prepare for community living,.

Connect Treatment With Reentry Goals

Each resident works with his DOC probation officer, substance use counselor, and mental health counselor to create a treatment and reentry plan. The program provides individual counseling, case management, and cognitive intervention groups that help residents recognize harmful thinking patterns, manage behavior, and make better decisions. Staff track each resident's progress and work with probation officers to address treatment needs and prepare for community reentry. Stays typically last 90 to 120 days.

Build Skills for Life After the Program

Residents can join employment counseling, financial literacy classes, computer instruction, fatherhood groups, mindfulness sessions, and nutrition education. A peer support specialist who previously completed the program shares firsthand experience and offers guidance. Staff also connect residents with community resources, and some graduates stay in touch with the team after completing the program.
