The Grant Co Jail is a detention center located at 1000 N Adams St Lancaster, WI which is operated locally by the Grant 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. Grant County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Lancaster 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.
In accordance with the Wisconsin Statutes and the Wisconsin Administrative Code, the mission of the Grant County Jail is to safely and securely confine individuals in the least restrictive environment consistent with their behavior, special needs, and the severity of their charges. The management and control of the jail are the responsibilities of the Sheriff and his/her staff. Inmates are required to treat the Corrections Staff with courtesy and respect at all times; any misbehavior, disrespect, or profanity will be investigated and may result in charges.
Upon admission and processing into the jail, if an inmate is unable to post bond, pay a fine, or otherwise secure release, they will be assigned to a receiving cell or cell block. The next available court date will see the arraignment of those incarcerated on new criminal charges. All inmates, regardless of their charges or circumstances, are placed in restraints for each court appearance at the Grant County Courthouse. Initial bond hearings are generally held at the jail via video conferencing with the judge at the courthouse.
Inmates will appear for court in their jail uniforms. Street clothing may only be worn to a jury trial or if the inmate is appearing as a witness at a jury trial. These clothes must be supplied by the inmate, their attorney, or their family, as the jail does not provide clothing for such appearances. During court appearances, conditions for release may be set. If release is ordered but the inmate is wanted by another agency or jurisdiction, the relevant agency will be notified. The inmate will be detained until the agency arrives for transport or until the release conditions are satisfied, such as bail or sentence completion.
Inmates are required to abide by court-imposed bail conditions, such as no contact with certain individuals, including through phone calls and mail. Violations will be considered bail jumping and reported to the District Attorney. While in custody, inmates are expected to comply with rules designed to maintain proper custody, control, and safety.
All inmates must conduct themselves in an orderly manner and respect the rights and property of others. No inmate is permitted to assign work, control, or supervise another inmate. Grievance Forms must be filed within five days of the incident, and administration will respond within ten working days.
Inmates must follow all oral and written orders from jail or sheriff’s department staff immediately. Threatening behavior, striking, profanity, obscene gestures, or throwing objects at staff, other inmates, or visitors are prohibited. Violations of jail rules may result in disciplinary action or criminal charges according to the jail's policies and procedures. Inmates are subject to room, locker, and strip searches at any time.
Tampering with or covering cameras or security equipment is a Class B Violation and will not be tolerated. Penalties for such violations may include up to 30 days in disciplinary detention, loss of privileges for up to 60 days, loss of up to 2 days of "Good Time," and cell restriction for up to 30 days. Inmates are prohibited from altering the condition of the walls, ceilings, locks, windows, vents, or any other fixtures or equipment. This includes tampering with televisions, outlets, cables, or cords. If tampering occurs, the television will be removed.
Contraband, defined as any item or substance forbidden by law or jail policy, is not allowed. The Grant County Jail is a smoke-free facility, prohibiting smoking or tobacco use, including in Huber lockers and dormitories. Food products may only be purchased through the commissary and stored in inmate totes. Inmates are not allowed to have food items brought or mailed to them in jail.
