Plan calls for privately-built prison - Duration: 5:39.

MIKE: A STATE LAWMAKER IS

FLOATING AN IDEA TO BUILD

WISCONSIN'S FIRST

PRIVATELY-OWNED, BUT

PUBLICLY-RUN PRISON.

IT WOULD BE A REPLACEMENT FOR

THE GREEN BAY CORRECTIONAL

INSTITUTION IN ALLOUEZ.

THERE'S LITTLE DISAGREEMENT

ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THAT

FACILITY.

IT'S OLD -- 118 YEARS, TO BE

EXACT.

IT'S OVERCROWDED AND SOMETHING

NEWER, AND SAFER, IS NEEDED.

REPRESENTATIVE DAVID STEFFEN OF

HOWARD HAS A BILL THAT WOULD

ALLOW A PRIVATELY BUILT AND

OWNED PRISON TO REPLACE THE

GREEN BAY PRISON BY 2022

HE JOINS US NOW ON "UPFRONT."

PROGRAM TODAY.

REP. STEFFEN: THANK YOU.

MIKE: LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS

ISN'T.

HE PULLED HEAR THE WORD PRIVATE

ATTACHED PRISONS AND THEY

AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME WE'RE

TALKING ABOUT PRIVATIZING A

PRISON.

THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE TALKING

ABOUT.

REP. STEFFEN: ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I OPPOSE FULL PRIVATE PRISONS.

FOR 5000 YEARS, THERE'S BEEN A

SIMILAR STRUCTURE IN TERMS OF

PRISON OPERATION, GOVERNMENT

OWNED, GOVERNMENT STAFFED IN

TERMS OF THE FACILITY.

THE LAST GENERATION OR SO,

THERE'S BEEN A NEW CONSTRUCT --

PRIVATE PRISONS, PRIVATELY

OWNED, PRIVATELY STAFFED.

IN THE LAST 5, 6, 7 YEARS ACROSS

THE NATION, CALIFORNIA,

OKLAHOMA, KANSAS HAVE GONE DOWN

THIS PATH OF HAVING IT PRIVATELY

OWNED, THE BRICK-AND-MORTAR, BUT

IT IS PUBLICLY STAFFED, SO OUR

DOC STAFF, OUR DOC GUARDS

WORKING IN MANAGING THAT

FACILITY.

MIKE: WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF

THAT?

REP. STEFFEN: WE HAVE MORE

CONTROL.

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH

THE PRIVATE ONLY PRISON MODEL,

AND BY HAVING OUR WELL-TRAINED,

WELL EXPERIENCED GUARDS BEING

THE ONE WITH THE STATE POLICIES

OVERSEEING IT, WE END UP IN MY

OPINION WITH A BETTER PRODUCT, A

BETTER SERVICE THAT WE ARE

PROVIDING TO THE STATE OF

WISCONSIN.

MIKE: THIS IS ALSO ABOUT TAXES.

COMMUNITIES MIGHT BE MORE

RECEPTIVE TO A PRIVATELY OWNED A

PRISON THAN IT WOULD BE TO A

PUBLICLY OWNED PRISON.

REP. STEFFEN: IT'S ONE OF THE

GREAT BENEFITS THAT THIS

FACILITY, BECAUSE IT'S PRIVATELY

OWNED, WILL BE TAXABLE.

ONE OF THE BIG CHALLENGES

WHEREVER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A

NEW FACILITY IS WHERE YOU PUT

IT?

THIS PROVIDES A FINANCIAL

INCENTIVE, TAX DOLLARS, PROPERTY

TAX DOLLARS TO BE AVAILABLE TO

THE COUNTY AND THE COMMUNITY

THAT HOST THAT FACILITY.

MIKE: WHERE YOU WANT TO PUT

THIS?

REP. STEFFEN: IT MAKES SENSE

BECAUSE OF THE WORKFORCE IS

ALREADY THERE, NEXT AND SECURITY

FACILITIES ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO

STAFF.

IT TAKES A CERTAIN PERSON WHO IS

WILLING TO WORK WITH THAT TYPE

OF CLIENTELE.

THE WAY THE BILL IS STRUCTURED

AND THE WAY DOC WOULD WANT IT IS

THAT IT BE WITHIN THE REGION.

THE WAY THE BILL IS STRUCTURED

IN BROWN COUNTY OR ONE OF THE

ADJACENT COUNTIES.

MIKE: THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES

AT THAT PRISON.

CROWDING, SAFETY, WHAT DO WE DO?

AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO

HAVE A STOPGAP BEFORE YOU GET

SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

REP. STEFFEN: WE HAVE TWO

CONGRUENT PATH.

WE START THE PROCESS OF

DECOMMISSIONING THE GREEN BAY

CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTE, STARTING

WITH RFPS TO SELL THE PROPERTY.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THIS

FACILITY IS THAT FACILITY IS

UNIQUE IN THAT IT IS SITTING ON

$80 MILLION WORTH OF ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT.

IT SITS ON THE FOX RIVER.

IT HAS SOME OF THE MOST

BEAUTIFUL SCENES OF THE CITY.

IT IS NOT RECEIVING A SINGLE

DOLLAR IMPACT BENEFIT -- OF TAX

BENEFIT TO THE CITY.

MIKE: IT COULD BE TURNED IN A

HOUSING OR CONDOS.

REP. STEFFEN: IN FACT, THIS HAS

BEEN DONE.

HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT

FACILITIES LIKE PRISONS CAN BE

TRANSITIONED WITH RESPECT TO

HISTORY, BUT PROVIDE THIS

OPPORTUNITY FOR PROPERTY TAX

BENEFIT FOR THE ENTIRE

COMMUNITY.

COFFEE SHOPS, RETAIL SPACE,

OFFICE SPACE -- ALL BY STILL

RESPECTING THE HISTORY INVOLVED.

MIKE: WHY IS THIS A GOOD DEAL

FOR A PRIVATE DEVELOPER?

REP. STEFFEN: I SPENT 10 MONTHS

WORKING WITH ARCHITECT,

DEVELOPER'S WHO WORK IN THIS

SPACE.

THE REASON WHY IT'S A GOOD DEAL

IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO BETTER

TENANT THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY A

BILL THAT I GOVERNMENT.

BY HAVING THE STATE PAYING THE

LEAST EVERY MONTH, YOU KNOW THAT

MONEY IS COMING IN.

THIS IS CALLED REAL ESTATE

INVESTMENT TRUSTS, WHERE THEY

BUILD SHOPPING MALLS, BUT THEY

ALSO BUILD PRISONS.

THEY WILL OWN THE

BRICK-AND-MORTAR OF THE FACILITY

AND THEY WILL MAINTAIN THE

BRICK-AND-MORTAR, BUT WHEN IT

COMES TO THE ACTUAL STAFFING,

THEY MAKE MONEY OFF THE LEAST

BUT IT'S A LONG-TERM REAL ESTATE

PLAY.

THAT'S WHY THEY GET ENGAGED.

MIKE: YOU HAVE TO GET THIS

INSERTED IN THE BUDGET.

ARE YOU OPTIMISTIC?

REP. STEFFEN: I AM, FOR A COUPLE

OF REASONS.

ADDRESSING THE CAPACITY ISSUE,

RIGHT NOW WE ARE ON PACE TO HAVE

OVER 24,000 INMATES, ON RECORD

IN OUR SYSTEM, SO IT'S IMPORTANT

WE GET PAST IT, AND THEN THE

COST.

THIS PROPOSAL WILL SAVE THE

STATE OF WISCONSIN OVER $150

MILLION OVER THE NEXT DECADE.

YOU PUT THAT IN ADDITION TO A

FACILITY THAT IS GOING TO HAVE

BETTER VOCATIONAL PROGRAMMING,

BETTER MENTAL HEALTH

PROGRAMMING, BETTER RECIDIVISM

REDUCTION PROGRAMMING, IT'S A

WIN-WIN SITUATION TO HAVE THIS

MAKE IT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND

I'M VERY OPTIMISTIC IT'S WHEN A

MAKE ITS WAY TO THE GOVERNOR'S

DESK.

MIKE: REPRESENTATIVE DAVE

STEFFEN OF HOWARD, THANKS FOR

YOUR TIME TODAY.

COMING UP NEXT ON "UPFRONT,"
