Brown County Jail Roster Overview
The Brown County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and the public roster. Sheriff Todd J. Delain leads the office, and the Jail Division handles intake, housing, and release. The roster is a live database. It updates as staff book new arrests and process releases, so the list you see reflects current custody. The county's jail inmate lookup page explains how to use the tool.
The roster covers the county jail only. It does not list people held in Wisconsin state prison, in federal custody, or under immigration hold elsewhere. For those, use the state or federal locators covered on the released inmates page. The roster also is not a sentence calculator; the projected release date can shift. The jail is large for the region. The county reports capacity for 662 adults and 15 juveniles, and in 2025 it held roughly 840 people in custody per day once the Electronic Monitoring Program is counted. That program lets some inmates with Huber work privileges serve time at home on a GPS and alcohol-recognition bracelet, so the daily custody count can run higher than the number of physical beds.
How to Use the Brown County Inmate Roster
The Jail Inmate Lookup Tool is at lookup-inmate-jail.browncountywi.gov. You can search by name or by an identifier such as a booking number. To include people who have left custody, check the Include Release Inmates box.
- Open the Jail Inmate Lookup Tool in your browser.
- Type a first and last name, or pick an identifier type and value.
- Check Include Release Inmates if you want past bookings too.
- Press Search, then click a name to open the full profile.
Name searches work best with a last name. Add a first name or a birth date when a common name returns too many results. Brown County results show the inmate name, booking number, permanent ID, date of birth, and a release date when one applies. If the Brown County roster is unclear about a person's status, call the Jail Division at 920-448-4250 during administrative hours to confirm.
Brown County Roster Search Fields
The lookup tool offers a name tab and an identifier tab. The identifier menu accepts several official number types, which helps when a name is hard to spell. The fields are listed below.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | No | Used on the name search tab. |
| Last Name | Text | No | Best single field for a name search. |
| Date of Birth | Date | No | Masked as mm/dd/yyyy. |
| Select Identifier | Dropdown | No | Booking, Permanent, State ID, County ID, FBI, or ICE Number. |
| Identifier Value | Text | No | The number that matches the chosen type. |
| Include Release Inmates | Checkbox | No | Adds people who have been released. |
What a Brown County Inmate Profile Shows
A profile page is detailed. It opens with the name, a photo area, and a physical description such as sex, height, weight, hair, and eye color. Below that come the booking identifiers, the housing fields, and two tables for bond and charges. The table maps the main fields.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Number | The unique number for that intake, such as 2026-099895. |
| Permanent ID | A lasting county identifier for the person. |
| Physical Description | Sex, height, weight, hair, eyes, and complexion. |
| Current Location | Housing section, block, cell, and bed, such as MAIN. |
| Commitment Date | The date custody began for the booking. |
| Bond Information | Case number, bond type, amount, status, and set date. |
| Charge Information | Case number, offense date, statute code, description, and degree. |
| Projected Release Date | An estimate that the page warns is subject to change. |
A detainer line shows whether another agency has a hold on the person. When there is none, the profile states that plainly. The bond table can list the case number, the bond type, the amount, the status, who set it, and the set date. The charge table lists each count with its offense date, statute code, description, grade, and degree. So one profile can show both how a person got to jail and what it would take to get out.
Important: The projected release date on a Brown County profile is an estimate the page says is subject to change. Do not treat it as a guaranteed release time.

Booking Process in Brown County
Booking starts at intake. Staff record the person, take a photo, and log identifiers and charges. Any money carried in at intake goes into an inmate trust account under Wis. Stat. ยง 303.08(3). That account can cover commissary, medical fees, and other authorized charges. The jail uses an objective classification plan and direct supervision to assign housing.
After booking, a person held on new charges usually has an initial appearance where bond and next dates are set. On release, any positive trust balance is mailed by check to the address given at booking. The jail does not hand out release checks in person, and the process can take up to 15 business days. If an account is not cleared within 30 days, it may go to collection or tax intercept, and a later booking can be charged for an old balance.
Personal property follows its own rules. Items like a wallet, phone, jewelry, and keys can be released to an outside person within 72 hours of booking, with a property release form, the inmate's signature, and the pickup person's photo ID. When someone is transferred to state prison, they leave in the jail uniform, and other property must be arranged within 30 days. Trial clothing for a jailed defendant must reach Court Security by 4:00 p.m. the day before a hearing and be picked up within 24 hours after.

How to Contact a Brown County Inmate
Mail, video visits, and books each have rules. Video visits are booked at jailatm.com. Books and magazines are accepted only through Hamilton Books, softcover only, and limited to two magazines and three books in a cell. The Jail Division homepage links to the inmate services and quick links.
Mailed money must be a money order or cashier's check made out to the inmate; personal checks are not accepted. The Brown County jail may apply part of a deposit to an inmate's debt. Clothing mailed in is limited to plain cotton undergarments and basics with no logos.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Inmates may buy up to $100 in canteen products, including snacks, hygiene items, clothing, and phone minutes. Aramark iCare packages are delivered weekly and ordered at icaregifts.com. Deposits to an inmate account can be made at the lobby kiosk, online at inmatecanteen.com, or by mail.
Fees apply to deposits. The kiosk charges $2 for cash and $8.95 for a card. Online card deposits carry an $8.95 fee with a $9.95 minimum. Card deposits are capped at $800 per transaction and have weekly limits. A care pack adds a shipping charge plus tax.
Brown County housing is built around classification. The jail runs 12 pods, split into seven indirect pods, four direct-supervision pods, one juvenile pod, and one inmate worker pod. Staff use an objective classification plan to decide where each person is housed, and the profile shows only general housing labels, not medical or security flags. About 160 sworn and non-sworn employees keep the facility running. The county has also identified a future expansion of 129 beds to add flexibility by classification level and gender.
