1. How do I change my court date?

You must contact the Green County Clerk of Courts Office directly at 608-328-9433. The Sheriff’s Department cannot change court dates under any circumstances.

2. How do I contact the Courts or District Attorney's Office?

You can call the Green County Clerk of Courts at 608-328-9433 or the District Attorney’s Office at 608-328-9424.

3. How do I find out what is going on or who is assigned a case?

Contact the Patrol Deputy who initially handled your complaint to find out who your case is assigned to and they will refer you to the correct Detective or Deputy assigned. If it is a criminal investigation, you may contact the Lieutenant who coordinates Detective investigations. If you know the Deputy or Detective assigned, you may email that person directly. You can find all available contact information in the Sheriff’s Office Staff Directory.

4. What happens when a prisoner goes to court?

Prisoners who have recent arrests will be housed in the Green County Jail until they go to their Initial Court Appearance (Arraignment) hearing in court. Their court appearance is based on how quickly the District Attorney’s Office is able to draft the complaint and schedule them for court (usually within 1 to 4 days).

Jail staff do not set the time for court appearances. Prisoners booked into jail on warrants will go to court as the court schedule time permits. We respond to telephone calls regarding dispositions of court appearances on weeknights after 6 pm. Call the jail at 608-328-9598 or, if no answer, call the Communication Center at 608-328-9400.
