Crawford County: Supervisors take tour of new jail building

Submitted by admin on Tue, 08/26/2025 - 13:11

(Left, left to right) Kraemer Brothers Vice President of Client Services Greg Callin, Sheriff’s Office Jail Transition Team Member Nate Bremmer and County Clerk Robin Fisher in the jail addition’s master control area. The county supervisors and other employees took a tour of the new jail building, which is in midst of construction.

Wisconsin Department of Corrections regulates the size of glass panels used within the facility, which is why there are framework grids throughout the jail, including the control center, where workers can monitor each of the jail pods. The glass will prevent inmates from seeing when they are being observed by jail staff as well. The jail pods allow law enforcement to house inmates by biological sex and risk.

(Bottom) The sally port will allow direct access to the booking area as well as a padded holding area (pictured). Currently the padded cell does not have the padding or other features installed.
