Wisconsin inmate records are created by different types of law enforcement from federal agents to local police. The process begins when someone is arrested. The arresting officer fills out a RAP sheet to enter the suspect into the system. This form includes the offender’s name, address, phone number, mugshots, and details of his or her crime. Then they are held in jail until a hearing. After that, if they are sentenced to prison or attend any court proceedings, everything is entered in the file. The State of Wisconsin Department of Corrections is the government agency in charge of keeping, storing, and maintaining inmate records. They keep them online in a database and searchable so that the public can perform an inmate search at any time of day or night.

To find someone who is in a county jail in Wisconsin isn’t very hard, but it’s different than finding someone in state or federal prison. Due to the fact that all county jails are run by local law enforcement, the inmate records are not stored in the same database.

Many of the local law enforcement agencies have websites with an offender search feature or a listing of their current jail inmates.

Wisconsin has thirty-six correctional facilities, and one of them is specially designed as a low-risk, low-security transitional facility. This unit helps offenders gain the skills and confidence they need before being released so that the state can eliminate recidivism and protect the safety of the community. Other prison inmates who do not transition out this way will simply go back home to family and friends.
Parole is a supervisory program in Wisconsin that works when the parole board feels that an inmate has served enough time and no longer poses a threat to society. They are released early but with specific stipulations like regular check-ins with a parole officer and other items. If the inmate violates any of the terms of his or her parole, they will be returned to prison.
