[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Adams County
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
This article is adopted under authority granted by § 303.08,
Wis. Stats.
This article shall be known as the "Adams County Huber Law Ordinance."
Adams County operates a portion of its jail utilizing Huber
Law (work release) provisions and does have a number of inmates incarcerated
under said law from time to time. The Adams County Board of Supervisors
recognizes that inmates who are gainfully employed under the provisions
of the Huber Law have an obligation to pay their own way as much as
possible while incarcerated in the Adams County Jail.
A.
All inmates employed full time under Huber Law work release provisions
from the Adams County Jail shall be required to pay a charge set by
the Public Safety and Judiciary Committee, plus state and County sales
tax, for room and board, computed on a seven-day-week basis.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The fee schedule is included as an attachment
to this article.
B.
The daily charge includes meals, whether the Huber Law inmate takes
his/her meals at the jail or elsewhere. Sack lunches will be provided
as appropriate and requested.
A.
Huber Law inmates shall not be permitted to hold more than one job.
B.
Part-time jobs are not permitted.
C.
A minimum of 32 hours per week (Sunday through Saturday) are required
to be considered as full-time employment.
D.
Huber fees can be paid in advance of the work release, provided that
they are paid in full for the duration of the sentence prior to the
commencement of the first day of work. In lieu of that, the appropriate
daily charge shall be paid to or collected by the designated official(s)
of the Adams County Sheriff's Office from each paycheck as received
by the working inmate on the day of receipt of such paycheck. Paychecks
shall be mailed or delivered to the Adams County Sheriff's Office
by the employer.
E.
The responsible official from the Sheriff's Office shall, in
turn, remit the moneys so collected to the County Treasurer at the
end of each month in which the fees were collected. A report of these
moneys, along with all other collections made by the Sheriff's
Office, shall be made each month to the Public Safety and Judiciary
Committee at its regular meeting.
