Sources include: a) Published reports (county population projections, available information regarding crime and arrests, and other data); b) Information provided from the County Jail system data for 2015 through September, 2023, including admissions data, housing unit management data, and nightly headcount data. For today: a) Summaries of existing data showing current and historic use of the facility and housing / inmate data; b) Estimates of likely requirements for overall bed capacity for the facility, booking area (intake-transfer-release area) use level; and c) Initial summary estimates of likely requirements for special management housing needs through 2040 or beyond. The information is intended to help guide the County, Sheriff's Office, and the BKV Group team understand more about the existing facility and operations, and more about the needs for housing, inmate services, and inmate programs in the future.

This is a repeat violation from last year. • Administrative Code DOC 350.20(2) Double Celling On the day of inspection there were inmates with different classifications hous ed in the same cell together. Inspection Comments: The inspection continues to reveal deficiencies in the facilit y’s ability to house inmates in accordance with established classification requirements as outlined in Wisconsin Administrative Code. During the inspection, inmates of different classification levels were being housed together due to limited housing availability . This issue raises serious concerns for the facility to maintain safety, security, and orderly operations. At the time of the inspection, the receiving cells were near capacity, resulting in delays in classification processing and the timely movement of inmates to appropriate housing units. This condition increases the potential for inmate conflict, staff workload, and operational efficiencies. This issue has been raised in past inspections as well. The ability to meet classification requirements have been problematic for the St. Croix County Jail. It is recommended that the agency take immediate steps to ensure full compliance with applicable classification stan dards. This includes evaluating current bed space allocat ions, exploring the expansion or reconfiguration of the facility, and implementing procedural changes to be able to meet classification requirements.

Inspection Comments: On the day of inspection, the population was higher than usual. While walking through the facility the housing units were full along with the special housing units. The receiving cells in the booking area were also filled. This has been referenced in past inspections as well. During the walkthrough, it was discussed with staff that when a facility houses that many people it makes it very hard for an agency to manage the different levels of classification not just for meeting the code requirements but also maintaining safety and security for everyone in the jail. In closing, I would like to thank Captain Anderson and your staff for their cooperation during this inspection process. If you have any questions regarding this report or any other matter please feel free to contact me.

Hudson, WI 54016 RE: 2023 Annual Inspection Facility Name: St. Croix County Jail Address: 1101 Carmichael Rd. Hudson, WI 54016 Facility Type and Applicable Wisconsin Administrative Code: ☐ Juvenile Detention Facility (Chapter DOC 346) ☐ Secured Residential Care Center for Children and Youth (Chapter DOC 347) ☐ Huber Facility (Chapter DOC 348) ☐ Municipal Lockup Facility (Chapter DOC 349) ☒ Jail (Chapter DOC 350) Date of Inspection: July 11, 2023 Inspected By: Brad Hoover Inspection Process: The annual inspection of the facility was conducted pursuant to WI Statute 301.37(3). The inspection compared the facility and its operation to applicable state statutes and Department of Corrections administrative code. This inspection consisted of a tour of the facility to assess the safety, sanitation, adequacy, and fitness of the facility ; dialogue with staff and inmates; and a review of facility records and documentation. Approved Capacity Details Maximum Rated Capacity Population on the Day of Inspection Is Facility Approved to Double Cell Is Facility Approved to Hold Juveniles 185 110 Yes No Page 84 of 89 2 Inspection Results: • There were no violations noted during this year’s inspection. Inspection Comments: The inspection included a review of records and practices, as well as a walkthrough of the detention areas to assess the safety, sanitation, adequacy, and fitness of the facility. My observations during the inspection revealed cordial and professional interactions betwe en the staff and persons in custody. During a walkthrough of the facility, it was noted that all of the receiving cells were occupied. This continues to be an issue and has been referenced in past inspections. With all the receiving cells being occupied , it l imits the staff’s ability to properly house inmates for admissions, investigations, discipline and suicide watch. Also, while conducting the walkthrough I noticed the special needs cells were fully occupied as well. This may be an area the agency considers expanding in the future as this would provide the facility better options for housing inmates who are higher risk. I would like to thank Captain Anderson and your staff for their cooperation during this inspection process. If you have any ques tions regarding this report or any other matter , please feel free to contact me.
