WISCONSIN - Soaring unemployment in Sheboygan County is keeping local inmates behind bars. About one-fourth of the county’s jail inmates have work-release privileges, but with fewer jobs available, jail officials today suspended a weekly job search program that has been in place for about 15 years. “I’ve never ever seen a lack of jobs like there is right now,” said Corporal Roy Kluss of the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department, who oversees the work-release program. “Before if a person said they couldn’t find a job in Sheboygan County, it was just because they weren’t looking. Now I believe them.” Inmates are allowed out to work under the Huber law program, which requires them to pay the jail $18 per day to participate. Judges determine whether an inmate is eligible for Huber, but the sheriff’s department decides which inmates are allowed out. Kluss said Sheboygan County traditionally employs more inmates than other Wisconsin counties, but that has taken a sharp downturn of late. Read more.
