The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office is suspending tablet messaging at the county jail following reports of inmates contacting witnesses in criminal cases.
Sheriff Denita Ball says the feature will remain disabled until officials can ensure victim and witness safety.
Inmates can still use the devices for legal research, education, and entertainment.
The decision aligns with similar actions taken at the county’s Community Reintegration Center to maintain consistent jail security.
