Gov. Scott Walker's administration will not appeal Lincoln Hills order on teen inmates

Teen inmates at the facility north of Wausau filed their civil rights lawsuit in January with the assistance of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin and Juvenile Law Center. Peterson issued Monday's order after determining at last month's hearing that their rights are likely being violated.

The lawsuit is continuing as the inmates seek to abolish the use of solitary confinement as a form of punishment.
