Every day on Live at 3:00, we have a segment called “What’s Hot,” where we talk about stuff that really is hot, and we have you talking. Wednesday on Live at 3:00, Newsradio 620 WTMJ’s Jeff Wagner and Jon Anne Willow from Vital Source Magazine appeared to talk about whether convicted murderers should be housed in anything less than a maximum security prison. Monday at Fox Lake Correctional, an inmate who was convicted of killing two Milwaukee police officers in 1985, attacked two guards with a claw hammer while working in the furniture shop at the medium security facility. One officer suffered a skull fracture and the other was injured, but was treated and released from the hospital. Now, many are wondering why a convicted police killer was in a less than maximum security facility in the first place. Click on the video link to see the discussion.
