The Lincoln Co Jail is a detention center located at 1104 E First St Merrill, WI which is operated locally by the Lincoln 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. Lincoln County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Merrill 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. You can see all the arrest records for Wisconsin here.
The Corrections Division of the Lincoln County Jail, located in Merrill, WI, is connected to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. In 2008, the Lincoln County Jail underwent extensive renovations, transforming the existing facility into the Huber section and adding the "POD," a constant supervision area. These changes increased the jail's bed capacity from 53 to 188, allowing it to house both male and female adult offenders.
Inmates with valid employment within 60 miles of the facility may exercise Huber privileges, provided these are permitted by the sentencing judge and approved by the Jail Supervisory Staff. Additionally, the Lincoln County Jail offers an Electric Monitoring Program, though this is granted only in necessary circumstances and must receive approval from the Jail Administrator.
Individuals convicted of a crime and sentenced to serve time in the Lincoln County Jail will have their report date and time listed on their Judgment of Conviction (JOC). They must report to the Lincoln County Jail Lobby on or before the specified date and time. In cases where the sentencing judge orders direct reporting to the jail, a copy of the JOC will not be provided. Failure to report as ordered may result in charges of “Failure to Report to Jail” under Wisconsin State Statute 946.425.
When reporting to jail, individuals should not be under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Those taking prescription medications must bring them in their original container with the original label, which should include the inmate's name, medication name, dosage instructions, prescribing physician, and the date and quantity filled. Not all medications will be permitted for use in the Lincoln County Jail; only those approved by the medical staff will be allowed. It is advisable to contact the Lincoln County Jail Nursing Staff between 8:00 am and 11:00 pm, Monday through Friday, at 715-536-6275 to discuss medications. You can read all the Inmate Rules and Regulations in their Inmate Handbook.
Inmates are charged a $25.00 booking fee when reporting to serve a sentence. Additionally, there is a $4.50 charge for an indigent pack, which includes hygiene items for use during the first few days of incarceration. After the initial indigent pack, all hygiene items must be ordered through the commissary. Indigent inmates can order refill kits through commissary, which will be charged to their account, potentially causing it to go into debt. A portion of any funds deposited into the inmate's account will go towards repaying this debt until it is paid in full. If the debt is not settled before the inmate's release, they will receive a debt letter with payment instructions. Unpaid debts will be sent to collections.
To transfer a sentence to the Lincoln County Jail, the sentencing judge must first order that the transfer is permitted. The individual must then request the transfer in the county where they were sentenced. This request must include a transfer request, a copy of the Judgment of Conviction (JOC), and Huber paperwork demonstrating employment in Lincoln County.
For offenses related to Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), additional documentation is required. This includes proof of an Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) assessment, also known as the Driver's Safety Plan, and proof of Ignition Interlock Device (IID) installation or an exemption form from the Department of Motor Vehicles showing no vehicles are registered in the individual's name.
The sentencing county must submit all paperwork to the Lincoln County Jail for approval. Lincoln County is not obligated to accept transfer requests. If any required paperwork is missing or if the individual is not employed in Lincoln County at the time of the request, the transfer will be denied.
