PP&J-O-06  
Motion to approve by Furman. Miles moved to amend PP&J-O-6 as  
follows:  
Pursuant to Wis. Stat. 59.54(16), receipt of revenue from the housing of federal  
prisoners, Federal Residents in Transit, shall not be authorized unless an  
agreement with the United States Marshall Service has been approved in  
advance by the County Board.  
Prior to pursuing a contract for the housing of federal prisoners, the Dane  
County Board of Supervisors hereby requests that the Department of  
Administration and Division of Facilities Management perform a cost analysis  
for boarding the projected number of Federal Residents in Transit to determine  
an appropriate daily rate that reflects the actual cost of housing such individuals  
in the Dane County Jail. Findings of the analysis shall be presented to the Dane  
County Sheriff's Office and the Public Protection & Judiciary Committee. Any  
proposed contract for housing federal prisoners should include the rate resulting  
from the analysis, reflecting the actual cost of housing such individuals in the  
Dane County Jail.  
The Dane County Board of Supervisors hereby requests that the U.S. Marshall  
Service provide justification to DCSO for each Federal Resident in Transit's  
housing status in the Dane County Jail, and that Federal Residents in Transit  
are only housed in the Dane County Jail if they have a pending hearing in Dane  
County and/or personal connection to Dane County such as former residence  
or strong social connections. The Dane County Board of Supervisors further  
asserts that Dane County residents be housed in the Dane County jail and  
receive priority housing over any Federal Residents in Transit.  
The Dane County Board of Supervisors hereby requests that DCSO present  
findings to the Public Protection & Judiciary Committee by August 2026 with an  
analysis of jail residents transported outside of Dane County and any changes  
in volume of transports relative to housing Federal Residents in Transit. The  
Dane County Board acknowledges and appreciates that daily jail census data  
continues to include details regarding transports and Federal Residents, among  
other data.
