When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work here so that you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Dane Co-Ferris Center is a detention center located at 2120 Rimrock Rd Madison, WI which is operated locally by the Dane 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. Dane County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Madison 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.
Individuals sentenced to jail may be eligible for Huber release privileges, allowing them to leave for approved activities like employment, education, or family care, contingent on their criminal history and jail conduct. The program enforces strict rules, requiring all activities to be verified and approved by jail staff, and permits outings, including travel, up to six days per week. Non-compliance with pre-reporting protocols can impact immediate access to these privileges.
Upon incarceration, inmates receive the Jail Inmate Handbook, detailing mandatory rules, including those for Huber release. Failure to comply can lead to disciplinary actions affecting release privileges.
Due to limited storage, inmates should only bring essential items, as items like electronics are prohibited and must be discarded prior to entry. The jail provides essential items like uniforms and hygiene products, while additional approved personal items can be brought in a disposable bag. These include specified clothing, medical necessities, valid ID for those seeking employment, and medically necessary equipment.
After being assigned to a housing unit, inmates may purchase additional items from the commissary, with basic hygiene items provided to indigent inmates. Approval from jail staff is required for any personal property dropped off during designated times.
For those interested in alternatives to incarceration, the jail offers diversion programs aimed at effective community reintegration. Information on these programs can be obtained through designated jail contacts, helping inmates transition smoothly post-release.
