Where to Start for Jail or Case Questions

- For a person who may be held at the Monroe County Jail, start with jail inmate records and call the jail phone for current custody questions.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots; Monroe County did not publish an official online mugshot gallery in the sources reviewed.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and search Wisconsin Circuit Court Access at WCCA.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Monroe County Jail page and the official jail phone.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or a person on Wisconsin DOC supervision, use the Wisconsin DOC Offender Locator rather than the county jail.
- For federal sentenced custody, use the Federal BOP Inmate Locator; for immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. For custody notifications, use VINELink.
