Heading from classes on a local college campus to his job inside a brewery, Corey Stern has to make one stop. Corey, 21, a convicted felon, makes his daily stop at the Justice Sanctions office in La Crosse County. The county has done away with work-release jail in favor of having 'clients' stop in regularly, often submitting to drug and alcohol tests. Stern, who takes classes at a local college, says it's a chance to 'get my life together.' It will not take long, though, because this jail is organized so that inmates are in and out every few minutes. Known as day reporting, the concept allows convicted and accused offenders in La Crosse County to avoid time behind bars as long as they appear before county staffers once a day, or whenever required. The arrangement is growing in popularity in Wisconsin as a low-cost alternative to building more jail cells.
