Huber/Work Release

The Court may give persons sentenced to the Dodge County Detention Facility huber/work release privileges. This privilege was established by statute so that persons confined to jail can maintain their employment, continue to support their families and meet other obligations. Huber payments must be made in cash weekly. When reporting in to the Dodge County Detention Facility, the first two weeks' huber fees are due at that time ($210.00) and fees of $105.00 are due each week thereafter. There is a booking fee of $25.00 for all sentenced inmates. Prior to leaving for work, an inmate or driver must show the following:

• Proof of a valid driver's license;
• Proof of automobile insurance for the vehicle the inmate will be riding in to and from work;
• The insurance must show the date the policy is in effect, as well as an expiration date and vehicle description;
• A receipt of payment or insurance binder will not be acceptable proof. A payment receipt on company letterhead, signed by the agent and showing an expiration date may be acceptable.
• Work schedules are required to be completed weekly.

Huber inmates may bring items needed for work which are kept in a separate locker within the facility. Clothing and items needed within the facility are issued by the facility. Unless the Judgment of Conviction states otherwise, people reporting in for a huber sentence should do so between 9am and 6pm in the main lobby.

Anyone wishing to transfer from Dodge County to another agency should come to the facility and complete a transfer request form. Once the form is completed, an officer will forward the form to the other agency one week prior to the start date. An officer will contact the applicant to indicate if he/she has been accepted or denied.

Inmates that want to transfer to Dodge County from another agency shall request the transfer through the county they were sentenced in. Once the transfer form has been completed, he/she should not contact DCDF - an officer will contact the sentencing county and the sentencing county will contact the applicant. The requirements for insurance, etc. are the same as huber/work release (see that section).

If someone has been sentenced in Dodge County and wishes to be put on home monitoring, he/she must complete a home monitoring application. The application will be reviewed approximately one week prior to the start date. The applicant should not contact the facility once the application has been submitted. An officer will contact the applicant if he/she has been accepted or denied. You must report to jail on date set by courts and documented on your judgment of conviction. A final decision regarding your placement may not occur until after you have reported to jail and started your sentence.  

The cost is $105.00 per week for this program. The requirements for insurance, etc. are the same as huber/work release (see that section). If someone is approved for this program, he/she must have at least one regular telephone (no cell phone or cordless telephone) and cannot have any telephone features, i.e. call waiting, call forwarding, caller ID, answering machine, etc.
