Facts:
- Although RCI officially opened its doors on May 6, 1991, part of the facility was the former St. Bonaventure Prep School. St. Bonaventure was founded in 1901 in Pulaski, Wisconsin. Originally, the school’s goal was to prepare Polish youth for priesthood. The Franciscans who ran the school wanted a location to draw students from the largest Polish populations of Milwaukee and Chicago. In 1921, they moved to Sturtevant. As the years passed and interest in the priesthood decreased, the school’s focus changed to preparing young men for college. In 1983, financial difficulties forced the school to close, and it was later converted into the Racine Correctional Institution.
