Huber Confinement Requirements

The Door County Circuit Court has sentenced and granted you the Huber Law Privilege under Wisconsin Statute 303.08, or you have been confined to the Door County Jail as a condition of probation under Wisconsin Statute 973.09(4).  

Violations

Huber Law Release is a privilege, not a right.  Any violations of Huber rules while at the Door County Jail may result in discipline.  Regarded action may be subject to, but not limited to: 

  • Loss of good time credit
  • Loss of Huber privilege(s)
  • Loss of other specified privileges

Transfers

Huber Law inmates transferred from another jurisdiction found in violation of any Door County Jail rules may have their transfer privilege revoked.  Upon revocation of the transfer privilege, the inmate will be returned directly back to the sentencing jurisdiction or authority.  There is no exception and no appeal to this rule

Huber Programs

You will be allowed to participate in the following Huber programs: 

  • Childcare
  • School release
  • Work release

If more than one type of Huber release program is needed, the programs must be scheduled consecutively or on different days.  No split releases will be permitted.
