Huber and Bond Monitoring

The La Crosse County Sheriff’s Office no longer has a HUBER center or bond monitoring. Bond monitoring is supervised by La Crosse County Justice Support Services, operated under the Human Services Department. They provide programs in electronic monitoring, bond monitoring, day reporting, community service, OWI sanctions, victim impact panels and drug court. Human Services is also responsible for the 48-bed La Crosse County Juvenile Detention Facility.

Property Personal Items: Books, hygiene items, writing materials, uniforms and shoes are all provided to the inmate. Only plain white underclothing will be allowed, which can be purchased through canteen. The jail does not accept any personal property from the public. Personal items such as prescription medication, eye glasses or other approved medical equipment may be dropped off at Jail Reception (8:00a.m.-4:30p.m.) or Master Control. Inmates must submit a written request at least 24 hours in advance to release any personal items. Jail staff will not communicate with inmates regarding property. If there is no paperwork filled out, no property will be released. Please avoid 1p.m.-3p.m. Monday through Friday if picking up property.

Communicating with an Inmate

We have three communication methods for friends and family to pass information on to those in jail:

1. Telephone

2. E-Messaging

3. Video Visitation

Telephone

The telephone system is operated by Securus Technologies. Only outgoing phone calls are allowed, the system cannot accept incoming phone calls into the jail. Personal phone calls from inmates can be made in the following ways:

  • An inmate can call out to a friend or family member by calling collect. This is the most expensive option of the three.
  • Inmates may purchase phone call minutes from their commissary account to add to their inmate debit account. Phone calls made through this method are charged to the inmate, not to the called party.
  • Friends and family members with Securus accounts may place money on their personal Securus accounts to allow inmates call their phone number directly.

Phone numbers may be blocked by the Sheriff’s Office under certain circumstances. If you accidentally block your phone number by choosing the option while denying an inmate phone call, you must call Securus Technologies to have your number unblocked. The Customer Support number for Securus is 1-866-229-6829.

All personal phone calls are recorded; calls to attorneys are not.

E-Messaging (as of October 1, 2018)

To ensure the safety and security of our jail facility, inmates are only allowed to receive incoming letters from verified, legal or professional entities. They may also receive verified letters from inmates housed in other correctional facilities.

Inmates are allowed to send outgoing mail to anyone with very few restrictions.

Instead of receiving letters via US mail, inmates can now receive messages and photos quickly and conveniently from family and friends via the E-Messaging service provided by Securus Technologies. Messages can be sent via computer or phone multiple times a day. To utilize this service, please see the Securus website or download the Securus app on your phone.

Costs for E-messaging is as follows:

  • 50-cents to send a message
  • 50-cents to attach a photo (in addition to the message fee)
  • 50-cents to add a reply stamp for an inmate to communicate back (in addittion to the message fee)

Stamps may be purchased at the Securus website.
