Public Comments regarding Agenda items: None.
Review/Discussion/Action ~ Minutes of September 16, 2025: Ms. Campbell Wood
accepted the motion to approve minutes as presented, seconded by Ms. Scholl. Motion
carried.
Review/Discussion/Action ~ Update and recent history of the use of Trempealeau Jail ~
Mr. Brooks – Ms. Scholl stated the use of the Trempealeau Jail was originally a temporary
plan to get through the Buffalo County staffing crisis. The Buffalo County Board requested
jail staff to look at this situation on a more long term approach. The Buffalo County Board
will review the contract anytime throughout the year to see if this plan is sustainable. Housing
inmates in Trempealeau County Jail is going to be a better finanical solution than building a
new jail. Currently Buffalo County jail holds inmates who are pending a bail bond hearing.
Once inmates have attended their bail bond hearing and they are still in jail they will be
transported to the Trempealeau County Jail. This is a pilot program. Looking at 3 year
program. Buffalo County jail will not be housing inmates. Judge Clark stated because of
staffing issues and difficulty meeting jail inspection standards it is important for the Buffalo
County Jail to remain open. Ms. Scholl stated the jail is old but in good shape. It was built in
1988 for that inmate population. Things are much different in 2025. The jail needs to meet
criteria for housing and classification from low to maximum, huber, electronic monitoring,
male/female, co-defendants, previous incarceration history/charge, etc. Buffalo County Jail is
a 28 bed facility and is not capable nor practical to house the population we have today. Mr.
Brooks inquired why Buffalo County Jail stopped utilizing the Pepin County Jail and wanted
to know how Pepin County personnel felt about this move. Ms. Scholl stated Buffalo County
personnel did approach Pepin County proposing a joint jail project to house both county
inmates. She stated Pepin County Jail has a much lower population and they have the space to
deal with their population but does not have space for Buffalo County inmates. There was no
movement on the joint project. Mr. Brooks wanted to know if there was an analysis done
Page | 3
DRAFT
regarding the cost to remodel the jail compared to the cost of traveling 50 miles at $50/day per
inmate. He wants to see cost projections of the money it will cost to house inmates in
Trempealeau County Jail and the money it would take to improve Buffalo County Jail. Ms.
Scholl stated a feasability study was going to cost $20,000 that is when Buffalo County
approached Pepin County regarding a joint jail, but there was no movement from Pepin
County. Ms. Scholl clarified that the Buffalo County Jail uses part time staff or off duty
officers to transport inmates from Buffalo County to Trempealeau County Jail and if there are
no officers available they use Tallen Transport out of LaCrosse. They do not use any on duty
officers for transport. Ms. Scholl clarified only one person transports inmates not two. Mr.
Brooks rephrased his question regarding costs wanting to know what would we spend more
money on using Trempealeau County Jail compared to cost of trying to do improvements to
the jail. He asked how much effort was made with Pepin County Jail and why was the CJCC
Committee was not informed about this transition. To date he has received no information of
cost projections and possibilty of how many hours lost where officers having to cover the
transport. Ms. Scholl responded that it is early in the process so difficult to evaluate what the
costs are going to be. Over the last 6 years the average cost to house inmates per year is
$325,000 x 10 years which is cheaper than building a 60 million facility. Buffalo County
Board does not have the funds to support building a new jail. Buffalo County Jail is following
the direction set by the Buffalo Couny Board. Board members see this plan as sustainable and
cost effective and can see this as a long-term solution. Mr. Brooks hopes the Buffalo County
Board does a cost projection. Judge Clark stated this decision was based on Buffalo County
Board and he understands Mr. Brooks position and encouraged him to share his concerns with
Buffalo County Board Members, Sheriff Osmond, Finance Committee or Law Enforcement
Committee. Ms. Scholl reiterated the Buffalo County Board will annually review this project
and there is a clause to review when someone requests. They need time to see if project is
sustainable. Mr. Wicktor inquired if Buffalo County could be forced to build a new jail. Ms.
Scholl stated if the facility starts to deteriorate it is possible it could be closed and not
functioning. There is no state statute for a county to have a jail but requires to have inmates.
Buffalo County has to have a jail to hold inmates and as long as Trempealeau County Jail can
hold Buffalo County inmates we don’t need to build a new facility.

Trempealeau County Jail and inmates being housed there are interested in continuing
with the courses offered through the Moving Forward Program. All courses will be

wonderful opportunity to learn. Michael Turner, Recovery Coach was approved to

MOVING FORWARD Reentry Program Report
December 2025-January 2026
This is a brief report, and I hope to have 2025 summary report to share in February.
Trempealeau County Jail
•programming has begun by offering one class for men and women each month. They are working
toward filling a program director position and will increase participation in the full offerings of the
MOVING FORWARD Program at that time. Participation has been particularly good, and we are
working through any glitches very well.
•They have not yet gotten going with the Recovery Coach yet. I hope that this goes by very soon.
Grant Funding Extension
•I filled out and submitted the necessary forms and justification for a request to extend the Wisconsin
Idea grant funding through December 31, 2026. I have not received formal approval yet, but in an
interview was assured that it would be approved, based on the information that I shared.
Recovery Coach is not being utilized, which means he is getting paid and not servicing any Buffalo/
Trempealeau County participants yet. Trempealeau has not gotten up to speed on this. Also, at last check in
December, he had not been going to Pepin Jail. Only meeting with some long-term recoverees in the community
setting. I encouraged him to contact the PC Jail for new participants. This is not acceptable. I plan to discuss this
with the Trempealeau County Jail partner. I was assured in August that they would support recovery coaching
services, and it has not yet happened.
Classes and participation – December and January
Note that many of these teleconference classes are also offered in Jackson and Dunn County jails, but I am not
including them on the grid below.
I would also like to note that Carissa Bollinger from the CJS office has been promoting the classes, and we are
seeing increasing participation. This is very welcome!
I also offered a class entitled The Gift of Forgiveness to Pepin, Buffalo/Trempealeau, Dunn, Jackson, Clark,
Rusk, Sawyer, and Ashland County jails, for 43 total participants.
As you see on the grid below, a total of 9 classes were offered in addition to The Gift of Forgiveness, with a
total of 41 participants. Classes range from one to twelve sessions. A total of 84 participants were reached with
educational programs in December-January.
