The entrance to the Green Bay Correctional Institution in Allouez, Wisconsin, is marked by a wooden sign. Established in 1898 as the Wisconsin State Reformatory, this facility is one of the state's oldest correctional institutions. Its original design reflected late 19th-century penological philosophies emphasizing reform, with spacious grounds and classical stone architecture. The institution continues to operate under the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, serving as a significant site in the state's correctional history and architectural record.
