La Crosse County Jail Renovation Project RFP

La Crosse County Jail Renovation Project RFP

1.1 Introduction

La Crosse County main jail facility designed in 1997, along with the addition completed in 2010, initially allowed La Crosse County to serve the population well and for female housing to be moved from a much older facility. However, population trends of the individuals incarcerated have changed over time, and a reevaluation of the present facility for potential renovation to better serve the current and future populations has been solicited.

The inmate profile is changing. The jail ADP in January of 2026 was 144. February is trending to 150. Total capacity is 242. Special needs population (especially those with severe and persistent mental illness) has grown beyond facility design capacity. Women’s housing remains in older units without the direct supervision and programming space available to men.

1.2 Location

La Crosse County Jail is located in the Law Enforcement Center:

333 Vine Street
La Crosse, WI 54601
