Crime rates in Wisconsin have increased in recent years. It's among the nine states that experienced increased property and violent crimes. Violent crimes have increased by 9 percent, while property crimes have increased by 1 percent. This has led to an increased number of offenders in jails and prisons.

How to Perform an Inmate Search in Wisconsin
The Wisconsin State Department of Corrections has a prison lookup tool for an inmate search. You can perform the search by the inmate's name or identification number. You can also use other parameters such as race, age range, and year of birth, DOC number, address, gender, and offender status.
When searching for an offender in Wisconsin's county jail, you can use the web pages referred to as jail rosters. You can also use the inmate lists provided by the specific jails. Another option is to visit the jail during business hours for inquiries.
Wisconsin Prison and Jail System
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections runs all Wisconsin state prisons and county jails. Individual counties manage county jails. The state prisons hold inmates sentenced for committing felonies. They are bigger and offer more extensive educational and rehabilitative programs compared to county jails. The prisons hold offenders with sentences of one year and above.
The county Jails in the state are under the management of the Sheriff. They hold offenders convicted of misdemeanors or awaiting trial. The inmates in the county jails are held for less than a year. The Wisconsin State Department of Corrections (WDOC) works with the criminal justice system to administer sentences to prison offenders.
Wisconsin has 24 prison facilities and 72 jails in different areas of the state. The department grades each prison to meet the need of the various housing offenders' classifications. Lower-level prisons hold nonviolent inmates, while higher-level facilities hold the most violent ones. The classifications define the structure security, movement restrictions, routine, and the number of prison staff.
The state has one federal prison and one federal prison camp, all run by The North Central Regional Office. The federal prison has a capacity of 987 inmates.
