The Calumet County Jail is part of the Court House Complex located within the city of Chilton, Wisconsin. The Sheriff has the constitutional authority to administer the jail. The jail budget is overseen by the Protection of Persons and Property Committee of the Calumet County Board.
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections has authority under Chapter 301 Wisconsin Statutes to examine the jail and establish minimum standards for construction, sanitary conditions, safety conditions, security of the jail, and due process protections for inmates alleged to have violated jail rules. The Calumet County jail is inspected annually by Department of Corrections Staff and the Calumet County Board.
The present building was completed in 1979. A renovation of the Court House in 1997 included an expanded Huber Law/Work Release Dorm and revised visiting facilities. The Wisconsin Department of Corrections has approved the jail for the detention of adult offenders with a maximum capacity of 54 inmates.
The jail staff consists of a Jail Administrator, one Sergeant, eleven full-time Corrections Officers and seven part-time Corrections Officers. The Wisconsin Law Enforcement Standards Board certifies all jail staff as jail officers. Jail officers receive a minimum of twenty-four hours of annual in-service training to maintain State certification.
