MADISON, Wis. The Wisconsin Department of Corrections has released total death tolls due to COVID-19 at the prison facilities where the deaths occurred. To date, at least 25 prisoners have died from COVID-19 in Wisconsin; previously, the DOC has refused to release information about what facilities have had inmates die because of COVID-19.
Oshkosh and Waupun Correctional Institutions lead the list with four inmate deaths each. Stanley and Redgranite Correctional Institutions have each reported three inmate deaths; facilities at Racine, Fox Lake and Dodge have each reported two deaths.
