The Columbia Co Jail & Huber is a detention center located at 403 Jackson St Portage, WI which is operated locally by the Columbia County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Columbia County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Portage Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Columbia County Jail is responsible for holding all persons arrested in Columbia County. The secure jail is broken into 3 floors. The first floor is intake and holding/special cells. The second-floor houses secure male inmates. The third-floor houses additional secure male inmates and female inmates. The secure jail has 165 total bunks. The Huber Center opened in 2005. The Huber Center is capable of holding an additional 192 inmates. It also includes expanded facilities for laundry, medical services, kitchen, recreation, and other jail programs
Both jails are designed as a Pod style, which allows many inmates to be supervised by a smaller staff. The jail currently employs 33 Jail Deputies, 1 Jail Clerk, 6 Jail Sergeants, 1 Lieutenant, and a Captain.
