Huber & Electronic Monitoring

Sentenced with Huber Law

In accordance with Wisconsin State Statute 303.08(1), the Court has granted you the privilege to work, seek employment, attend to the needs of family members and/or attend school or treatment programs and court.

Since 2020, the Manitowoc County Jail suspended all in-custody Huber.  However, all Huber Law inmates are encouraged to apply for the Electronic Monitoring Program (bracelet).

Sentenced with an OWI Charge

  • Sentenced with an OWI charge- YOU PERSONALLY MUST provide proof of payment & scheduled date for your alcohol assessment before reporting into jail or you will not have Huber privileges. THIS IS A STATE LAW! Wisconsin State Statute 303.08(10m-r) (If sentenced on OWI post booking date, options may be available to schedule and pay fees to qualify for EMP)
  • Wisconsin Act 100, took effect on July 1, 2010, requires Judges to order an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) for
    1. All repeat OWI offenders
    2. All first time OWI offenders with an alcohol concentration of 0.15 percent or higher
    3. All drivers who refuse to provide a breath or blood sample for a chemical test at a traffic stop
  • The order affected the offender in two ways:
    1. The IID order applies to every vehicle owned by the offender, regardless of what type of vehicle (car, pickup, van, motorcycle, or large truck)
    2. The offender’s driving privilege is restricted so that they can only operate IID-equipped vehicles during the duration of the order.
  • Offenders who choose to apply for an Occupational License from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) allowing them to drive to/from work or school or to take care of essential activities will have restricted operating conditions on their license. All vehicles driven must be equipped with an IID – and it will not matter who owns the vehicle (the offenders, their employer, or whomever loaned them a vehicle). You must have the device installed before DMV will re-issue your occupational license.

Electronic Monitoring Program

  • A completed application is required (3) weeks prior to sentencing with an immediate report, court ordered report in date or considering a transfer in/out of Manitowoc County.  You may print it here or pick one up in the jail lobby vestibule.
  • SCRAM Continuous Monitoring bracelet works with a landline phone service or internet provider.
  • If you are not currently employed you should pre-register at employment agencies prior to reporting in to jail.  The employment agencies web-sites are listed under Outside Resource Directory.
  • Self-Employed, see pamphlet for requirements.

Transfer Request to/from Manitowoc County

There are several things that need to take place:

  • Sentencing Judge needs to authorize transfer to another County
  • Sentencing County must send a Huber transfer request to desired County of transfer to include a copy of the Judgement
  • Wishing to transfer to Manitowoc, complete an EMP application.
  • Not everyone who applies is accepted. Wisconsin State Statute 302.425 (2). Manitowoc County reserves the right to deny and/or terminate an EMP applicant or transfer for any reason.
  • You must have a job and/or the ability to pay all required fees
  • If your transfer is approved, failure to follow rules and/or pay fees will result in termination of transfer and you will be returned to the sentencing county
