The Dodge Co Jail is a detention center located at 216 W Center St Juneau, WI which is operated locally by the Dodge 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. Dodge County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Juneau 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.

The Dodge County Detention Facility in Juneau, Wisconsin, is a major county-operated correctional institution that also houses ICE detainees under contract with the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Operated by the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, the facility serves as both the primary jail for Dodge County and a regional federal detention site for immigration detainees awaiting hearings, transfer, or removal proceedings. Public county records and ICE detention listings identify the jail as having an approximate operational capacity of 458 beds, making it one of the larger county detention facilities in Wisconsin. The facility is overseen by Jail Administrator Mike Slinger, who supervises inmate housing operations, detention staff, transportation coordination, healthcare services, and institutional security procedures.

Located about 45 miles northeast of Madison, the Dodge County Detention Facility was designed as a modern direct-supervision jail capable of managing local inmates alongside federal detainees. The detention center contains secure male and female housing units, booking and intake areas, medical and mental health services, attorney visitation sections, video visitation systems, recreation areas, transportation staging zones, and administrative offices supporting around-the-clock detention operations. ICE detainees held at the facility are generally transferred through federal intergovernmental service agreements that allow DHS to utilize county jail space for immigration detention needs throughout Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest. Correctional officers oversee inmate classification, movement, meals, commissary services, court appearances, and safety operations through highly structured supervision systems.

If you need information about a detainee (ICE Detainee Locator), who is housed at this facility, you may call 312-347-2400 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Please be prepared to provide the detainee's biographical information, including first, last, and any hyphenated names, any aliases used, date of birth, and country of birth. To leave an urgent message for an ICE detainee here call 920-386-3743.

ICE Detainee Information

This facility holds immigration detainees under an active contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in addition to its regular population. ICE detainees are civil immigration detainees, not criminal defendants, and are held while their immigration cases are processed. The rules, rights, and services that apply to ICE detainees differ from those that apply to the general jail population.

To locate an ICE detainee at this facility, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator at locator.ice.gov. You will need the detainee's A-Number, a nine-digit Alien Registration Number that appears on any immigration document they have received. If the A-Number has fewer than nine digits, add zeros at the beginning. If you do not have the A-Number, you can search using the detainee's full legal name, country of birth, and date of birth. Names must be an exact match; try variations if the first search returns no results.

Immigration bond works differently from criminal bail. Not all detainees are eligible for bond; those with certain criminal convictions or prior deportation orders may be subject to mandatory detention. For those who are eligible, bond is set by an immigration judge and typically ranges from $1,500 to over $10,000. Bond must be paid in full before release. An immigration attorney can request a bond hearing and argue for a lower amount based on the detainee's circumstances.

Unlike criminal defendants, ICE detainees do not have the right to a government-appointed attorney. They must hire a private immigration attorney or find free legal help through a nonprofit organization. RAICES provides legal services and bond assistance at raicestexas.org. The National Immigrant Justice Center offers free legal representation at immigrantjustice.org. Many immigration courts also maintain a list of free and low-cost legal service providers available to detainees upon request.

ICE transfers detainees between facilities frequently and with little advance notice, sometimes to locations far from family and legal counsel. If you cannot locate your family member through this page, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator again at locator.ice.gov with their A-Number. If they have an attorney, notify the attorney immediately as transfers affect court appearances and case timelines.

The Dodge County Detention Facility has periodically drawn attention from immigration advocacy organizations and civil rights groups because it participated in ICE detention agreements. Critics have raised concerns involving detainee access to legal representation, prolonged detention, and the growing use of county jails to house immigration detainees far from major immigration court systems and legal aid organizations. County officials, meanwhile, have defended the agreements as an important source of revenue that helps offset detention center operating expenses and staffing costs. Despite ongoing political debate surrounding ICE detention partnerships, the Dodge County Detention Facility remains an active component of the DHS immigration detention network and continues housing both county inmates and federal immigration detainees under ICE authority.

This facility embraces a philosophy that includes direct supervision principles, an objective classification system, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. Continuous staff training ensures high professional standards. The facility also employs an incentive program to foster positive inmate behavior and provides opportunities for inmates to maintain community ties and pursue self-improvement through various programs. Additionally, the court may grant Huber/work release privileges to sentenced individuals, allowing them to sustain employment and familial support during their confinement. Huber fees are payable in cash and are required weekly; the first two weeks' fees are due upon entry into the facility. All sentenced inmates must also pay a booking fee.

Specific requirements are mandated for those granted Huber privileges, especially regarding transportation to and from work. Inmates or their drivers must present a valid driver's license and proof of automobile insurance that includes effective and expiration dates and a vehicle description. Insurance binders or payment receipts are not acceptable unless they are on company letterhead, signed by the agent, and include an expiration date. Inmates are also required to submit their work schedules weekly.

For individuals convicted of Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), state statutes mandate the installation of an ignition interlock device on any vehicle registered in their name or operated by them. Compliance with this requirement must occur within 14 days of sentencing, with options including the installation of the interlock device, obtaining an exemption from the judge, or transferring the vehicle out of their name. Failure to meet these conditions will result in the revocation of Huber privileges.

Inmate Locator

Finding an Inmate at Dodge Detention Facility (ICE)

If you're trying to locate someone in custody at Dodge Detention Facility (ICE) in Juneau, Wisconsin, the fastest path depends on how recently the arrest happened, what type of facility holds the inmate, and how quickly that facility updates its public records. There is no single nationwide inmate database that covers every detention facility in real time, so locating a specific person often means checking multiple sources or calling Dodge Detention Facility (ICE) directly at 920-386-3734.

Using the InmateAid Inmate Search

The InmateAid inmate search is the fastest starting point for locating someone at Dodge Detention Facility (ICE). The search pulls from facility rosters, booking systems, and arrest record databases to return current custody status, charges, and housing facility. If the person was arrested or transferred recently and doesn't appear yet, the facility likely hasn't updated its public roster, which can lag by hours or a full business day. Try again later or call 920-386-3734 to confirm.

When the Inmate Doesn't Appear in the Search

Several explanations are possible if a person isn't showing up. The booking may not be complete. The person may have been released, transferred to another facility, or moved to federal or immigration custody. Some facilities deliberately delay public records by 24 to 72 hours for security reasons. Minors are never published in any public locator regardless of facility. To rule out a transfer or release, call 920-386-3734 and ask the booking desk to confirm current status.

What You'll Need to Search Effectively

Have ready: full legal name and any aliases, date of birth, and approximate date of arrest. If you know which agency made the arrest, that narrows results significantly. A booking number locates the record immediately. Without at least a full name and approximate date, searches return too many results to be useful.

Once You've Located the Inmate

When you confirm the person is at Dodge Detention Facility (ICE), set up a prepaid phone account so you don't miss the first call, and arrange any money transfer or commissary funding needed. For phone discount plans, money transfer, and mail services available at Dodge Detention Facility (ICE), see InmateAid's inmate services and call 920-386-3734.

To confirm current custody status, recent transfers, or release information at Dodge Detention Facility (ICE), call 920-386-3734.
