The Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF) is on the corner of 10th and State located in downtown Milwaukee and began accepting offenders on October 1, 2001. This facility is a holding facility, for probation/parole violators, operated by the Department of Corrections, Division of Adult Institutions. The mission of the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility is to provide detention, accountability, and programming to adult male felons in a safe secure institution, while being responsive to all criminal justice stakeholders and the community.

This facility, while it is statutorily an adult institution, operates in a similar manner to that of a jail operation. Unlike a Department of Corrections institution, the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility accepts offenders 24 hours a day, much like a county jail. The facility has an intake booking/objective classification process closely resembling that of a county jail unlike other institutions where all offenders are sent to the Dodge Correctional Institution for Assessment and Evaluation.

The Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility has a capacity of 1,048 offenders. Of that number 800 beds are secure detention beds for men who have been on supervision in the community and violated conditions of supervision. Other offender groups include those in need of transportation to Dodge Correctional for processing into the State Prison System. There are also be 210 additional beds that will be part of an AODA inpatient program. The average stay in the general holding cells is 67 days. The average stay in the AODA program is 6 months.

This is where my boyfriend is, he has been at the MSDF since March and it has been 6 months in there... he hasn't been able to get outside since then, I hear it is hard even though it is a medium security.. There are females in this facilty too they are put on the 5th floor.

I am new to this does anyone have any information about the AIR program at MSDF my fiance is going there as an alternative to revocation, for a 90 program. Any information about visits, etc.. would be great. this is all so hard.

hello i was wondering any updates on who can visit, if you are on their state lists are you still on when they come to this places and what about letters will they throw them away or will inmate be able to take when the leave

is there a phone number also if i can talk to someone too

very important that i know this soon as possible if anyone knows please leave a message

The phone # to obtain any information here is as follows:

I hope this helps you. My boyfriend and father of my baby is there right now awaiting his sentencing and than to be sent out to Dodge and than who knows where. Any more questions ask away and I will try and help. The visitor list is usually approved by their P.O. so it depends on how well they work which a lot of know they suck!!

get this...my fiance got arrested last friday because he missed court...he missed court because he was with his P. O. so anyways....he got a signature bond but then he had a P. O. hold on him and has a $500 bail now...i just found out today that he got transfered to MSDF. if he has bail how long do you think he will be there...how long do these "p o holds" last. i dont know what to do....by the way im 6 months pregnant with his baby...anyone have any answers or advise

I can answer the po hold question. As far as I remember the po can hold a person for up to 30 days before they either release them or revoke them. Ive known a few ppl that their po's just leave them in Hold hoping they learn their lesson and then release them on the last day possible.

I am wondering which address is the one you can write to them at? My boyfriend just was transferred to MSDF and I don't know anything about it. And who do I go through to put money on my phone so he can call me? If anyone could help it'd be awesome!

I think wat u can do is go to thier website and get the number and that should help u from their

:o Does ANYONE know HOW or IF I can recieve calls from MSDF on my cell phone!? .... I called that correctional billing # they gave me & 1 person says yes & 1 says no .... 1 says I need THIS number & 1 says I need THAT number !!!??? I am SO frustrated :angry: ... how hard is it to get a phone call!!!??? OMG! ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!! A step by step guide from someone that actually GETS calls would be extra nice :)

I get calls on my cell through Correctional Billing. I called the number listed on the website. It was an automated system and you set up your account by entering your phone number and address. I put money on my account with a credit card, but pretty sure you can do Western Union or money order. You can then register on their website and check your balance.

I got a letter a couple days ago. He says it is not too bad, he was in intake for a week and yesterday he was supposed to be transferred to the alcohol treatment floor. He says I shouldn't worry............I have heard terrible things also, from staff. Air quality, staff turnover, food, medical - there is nothing good to say. Corrections people says it is the armpit of Wi-DOC. He says it will be thirty days before anyone can visit, and then only immediate family.
