Columbia Correctional Institution is operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and located in Portage, Wisconsin. It has been open since 1986 and has a total capacity of 541, but recorded an average population of 839 in 2007. The overcrowding has resulted in some inmates sleeping on the floor.A $50,000 steel sculpture sits in the parking lot for the prison.
In 2007 and 2008 two female staff members of the prison were accused of having sex with inmates. Because the law does not allow for prisoners to consent to sex with prison staff, it was considered sexual assault.
On November 28, 1994 an inmate named Christopher Scarver was on work detail with Jeffrey Dahmer and another inmate in for the murder of his wife, Jesse Anderson. Left unsupervised, Scarver beat the other two with a metal weight bar. Jeffrey Dahmer died on way to hospital and Anderson two days later.
