Electronic Montioring Program
The Green Lake County Jail Electronic Monitoring Program is an opportunity that is available to inmates who meet the qualifications. The Electronic Monitoring Program is a privilege – not a right. The Electronic Monitoring Program allows inmates to serve their jail sentences outside the Jail. This will allow them to maintain family relationships and fulfill their employment responsibilities more efficiently. To be eligible for the Electronic Monitoring Program, the inmate must live and work in Green Lake County.  See the EMP application packet for more details.

The applicants of the Electronic Monitoring Program must complete the booklet and send it to our mailing address. If you have any questions about the program, you may call the EMP Coordinator. Once the application is received, it will be reviewed and a written response will be sent to you with the decision if you are accepted or denied for the program.

To be placed on the Electronic Monitoring Program, an inmate must be serious about serving their sentence in a cooperative and positive manner.

Inmates in the Electronic Monitoring Program must meet the same requirements for employment as is required of Huber Law inmates in the Green Lake County Jail.

Inmates who are not able to abide by the rules of the Electronic Monitoring Program will lose the benefits the program offers and will be returned to jail for the remainder of their sentence.

At the discretion of the staff, inmates selected for the program may do all or only part of their sentence on the program. Electronic Monitoring Program inmates will be required to sign an agreement to follow all program rules.

Community Service (CS)

Community Service
The Green Lake County Correctional Facility’s community service program has provided tens of thousands of community service hours to non-profit organizations and municipalities within Green Lake County. Over twenty-five different organizations and municipalities have benefited from the use of community service workers. This program allows the inmate to “pay back” to society and gives them the opportunity to build positive work references and contacts. This program also allows those organizations using community service workers some relief with ever tightening budgets.

Inmates who abide by all of the terms and conditions of the program will be eligible for sentence reduction. Per state statute, for every twenty-four hours of community service worked, one day will potentially be taken off of an inmate’s sentence with court approval.

The applicants of the Community Service Program must complete the booklet and bring it with them at their scheduled jail check-in time. If you have any questions about the program, you may call the Community Service Officer (920-294-4059 ext 7.) Once the application is received, it will be reviewed and a written response will be sent to you with the decision if you are accepted or denied for the program.

To be placed on the Community Service Program, an inmate must be serious about serving their sentence in a cooperative and positive manner. Inmates in the Community Service Program must meet the same requirements for employment as is required of Huber Law inmates in the Green Lake County Jail.

Inmates who are not able to abide by all of the rules of the Community Service Program may lose the benefits the program offers and may not receive a reduction in their jail sentence. Community Service Program inmates will be required to sign an agreement to follow all program rules.

Bail Bond Procedures

Green Lake County Correctional staff shall collect bond monies by deposit using the Stellar Kiosk in the Jail lobby or in the form of cash or debit cards only if bond is posted for subjects that are not in custody at the Green Lake County Correctional Facility.

The Kiosk machine will accept cash or debit cards only, no credit cards. It will also assess a $2.00 fee for every separate cash transaction and a 10% fee for any debit transaction; we do not provide change. If there is an overage paid, the inmate will be given a check from the Correctional Facility in their name upon release if they do not have any debt accrued.

Once you have arrived at the Correction’s lobby entrance on the South side of the building, please notify corrections staff before you begin paying anybody’s bond. Failure to notify staff may result in your money not being charged to the right account and delay the process.

If it is during daytime hours when the Green Lake County Clerk of Courts Office is open, bond posters will be sent to that office for Green Lake County bonds only, to post bond.

Bail Bond Notices:
1. If you are about to post bond for an individual arrested on a felony or misdemeanor, be advised that the Court MUST apply that money towards any fines or court costs imposed pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes §969.02 and §969.03. An appearance in court or a finding of guilty does NOT guarantee the return of the bond money posted for any offense.

2. Disposition of the money posted will not occur until the case has been concluded.

3. If the money deposited is applied towards any fines and court costs, the recovery of the money is a matter between parties and not the court.
