The Juneau Co Jail is a detention center located at 200 Oak St Mauston, WI which is operated locally by the Juneau 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. Juneau County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Mauston 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.

If you have been charged with a crime, sentenced, or are being held for another agency in the Juneau County Jail for a legal violation, it is the legal responsibility of the jail staff to monitor and supervise you until your case is resolved. The jail staff will provide for your basic human needs, including food, clothing, and shelter, as well as ensure your safety and well-being.

The following information is detailed in the Jail Rules document, these rules, and regulations are designed to guide you during your confinement in the County Jail.

The Juneau County Jail's Huber section comprises three dorms with a total of 52 beds. Two dorms are primarily designated for male Huber inmates, while the third dorm is allocated for female Huber inmates. The Huber program, commonly referred to as "work release," extends beyond employment to include various rehabilitative and supportive activities. Detailed inmate rules, regulations, and an information packet can be accessed via the provided link.

Wisconsin's Huber Law, detailed in Wisconsin State Statute 303.08, grants the privilege of leaving the jail during necessary and reasonable hours for several purposes. These purposes include seeking or engaging in employment or employment training, performing community service work under s.973.03, and conducting any self-employed occupation, including housekeeping and attending to family needs. Additionally, inmates may attend court proceedings to which they are a party or have been subpoenaed as a witness, participate in educational programs, receive medical treatment (with certain exceptions), and obtain counseling or therapy from approved public or private treatment facilities or licensed professionals.

Furthermore, inmates may attend assessments to determine their need for counseling or therapy, participate in parenting education programs, and meet with their probation, extended supervision, or parole officers. The Huber program thus provides a structured and supportive environment that facilitates inmates' reintegration into the community while serving their sentences.
