Door and Kewaunee county jail residents and parolees are following pandemic precautions when working in the jails or doing community service jobs.  Door County jail inmates not involved in the Huber work release program can cut an hour off of their sentences for each hour they work.  That usually involves jail cleaning, laundry, or food preparation.  Door County Jail Administrator Lt. Kyle Veeser says during those volunteer work posts jail residents follow specific safety protocols.

The Kewaunee County Jail residents have limited contact with other inmates and staff during their in-house work assignments.  Inmates who've been paroled but still need to perform community service requirements can be used on county projects.  Sheriff Matt Joski says, however, the nature of the work involved is conducive to social distancing.

Kewaunee County Jail inmates not involved in Huber programs were once allowed to volunteer for community work projects.  That program ended shortly after Sheriff Joski was elected to his first term.
