Brown County Jail Overview

Brown County Jail is operated by the Brown County Sheriff's Office Jail Division in Green Bay. It is the county's central post-arrest facility for people held before trial, people serving county jail sentences, juveniles in the county detention setting, inmate workers, and eligible Huber or electronic monitoring participants. The Jail Division page lists Captain Heidi Michel as jail administrator and gives the jail's administrative office hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The facility is more than a holding site. Brown County describes a jail system with intake, classification, housing, inmate accounts, chaplain support, juvenile detention, and an Electronic Monitoring Program. Classification means the jail reviews a person's custody risk, needs, and housing fit before assigning a pod or custody status. Direct supervision means staff work in a more open housing-unit setting, while indirect pods use a more separated layout.

The Brown County Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Todd Delain. Jail record users should keep agency roles straight: the jail holds the custody record, the Sheriff's Office Records Division handles many record requests, and the courts handle filed charges after the district attorney acts.

Brown County Jail Roster Lookup

The official starting point is the Brown County Jail Inmate Lookup Tool. Brown County says the public can search by first name and last name or by inmate number. The same county service page also says users may select a released-inmates checkbox when searching for people who are no longer in active jail custody. That released option is important when a person posted bond, finished a short stay, moved to another facility, or transferred to another agency before the search.

The lookup covers Brown County jail custody. It should not be used as the main search for a sentenced Wisconsin state prisoner at Green Bay Correctional Institution or another DOC prison. After a state prison sentence, the correct tool is the Wisconsin DOC Inmate and Offender Search. For federal sentenced prisoners, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration detention, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System.

1. Open the county jail inmate lookup service page and follow the county's lookup link.
2. Search by full first and last name when no inmate number is known.
3. Use the inmate number when family, counsel, or a court paper gives one.
4. Select the released-inmates option if the person may have bonded out or left custody.
5. If no result appears, check the jail phone line, records portal, WCCA, VINELink, DOC, BOP, or ICE based on the likely custody stage.

The county lookup host did not expose sample profile pages during the research review. For that reason, Brown County Jail record copy should not assume that every public profile displays a mugshot, housing unit, charge list, bond amount, or court date. Use the court record for filed charges and the records request process for older or more detailed jail records.

Brown County Inmate Search Fields

Brown County publishes enough field detail to make a precise roster search plan. A name search helps when an inmate number is not known. The inmate number is the cleaner route when there may be several people with similar names. The released-inmates checkbox should be used before assuming that a person was never booked.

The VINELink notification portal can also help with custody status and victim notification. It is not a full booking file or a court docket, so use it as a status and alert tool rather than a substitute for Brown County's jail lookup.

Brown County Jail Address

The jail and the records office are not the same counter. Jail visits, inmate accounts, bond processing, and jail administration point to Curry Lane. Sheriff records requests may be made through the Sheriff's Office Records Division at Development Drive, by phone, or through the JustFOIA records portal.

The Brown County Sheriff's Office JustFOIA portal is the online public-record request route. The Jail Division records page says requests are handled in the order received, may take up to 10 business days, and duplicate requests may create duplicate responses and fees.

Brown County Jail Visitation

Brown County Jail visitation is video-based and scheduled through JailATM.com or ICSolutions Video Visitation. Regular visits last 20 minutes, with a maximum of two guests in view, subject to officer discretion for small children. Registered visitors must be at least 18 for initial registration and must present valid government photo identification. Visitors under 18 must have a parent or guardian present during on-site or remote visits.

Visits must usually be scheduled 24 hours in advance, and approval commonly takes 24 to 48 hours. Visits may be denied, stopped, or canceled for misconduct, suspected contraband, alcohol or drug influence, disruptive behavior, nudity, provocative clothing, gang signs, attempted three-way calls, equipment damage, or a facility emergency. Regular visits are recorded and electronically monitored. Attorney and approved professional visits are the key exception.

Brown County Jail Mail and Money

Brown County changed its personal mail process effective October 6, 2025. Personal mail no longer goes straight to the Curry Lane jail. The county's mail policy routes personal mail to a JailATM scanning center, where mail is opened, scanned, and sent to the jail digitally. Legal mail from a licensed attorney of record goes directly to the jail. Business or transactional documents, including checks, also go directly to the jail business office.

Inmates may buy up to $100 in canteen products. The county page also describes Aramark Icare packages, mailed money orders or cashier's checks, debt deductions from deposits, and release-balance checks that may take up to 15 business days after release.

The Brown County bond page warns about phone scams using spoofed 920 numbers and local court or inmate details. Legitimate bond is handled in person at the jail or through the county's AllPaid route. Official agencies do not call or text demanding gift cards, Bitcoin, CashApp, Venmo, or prepaid cards to avoid arrest.

Brown County Jail Population

The Brown County jail About page gives detailed local figures. The facility has capacity for 662 adults and 15 juveniles. Brown County also states that in 2025 about 840 inmates were held per day in jail custody when the Electronic Monitoring Program is included. The jail has 12 pods: seven indirect pods, four direct-supervision pods, one juvenile pod, and one inmate-worker pod.

The 2023 PREA Annual Report listed a 2023 average daily population of 737.61, with 7,948 bookings. It also covered Brown County Jail and the Brown County Work Release Center. These figures show why Brown County Jail inmate search can involve more than a person physically sitting in a cell. Huber and electronic monitoring can place eligible inmates in alternative custody while they remain part of the county's correctional system.

The county's Electronic Monitoring Program uses GPS capability and alcohol-consumption recognition for eligible Huber inmates serving jail time at home. EMP is staffed by one sworn sergeant, two sworn deputies, and two correctional officers. Huber means a Wisconsin work-release privilege that can allow approved movement for work or other permitted purposes while a jail sentence or custody status continues.

The source page ties the jail's public capacity, pod structure, staffing, and EMP details to the same Jail Division operation used for inmate lookup and custody questions.

Brown County Jail Intake

After a Brown County arrest, a person may be taken to the jail for intake. The researched county pages confirm several parts of that process: money is placed into an inmate trust account, personal property is handled under jail rules, classification affects housing, and the inmate account may be used for commissary, medical fees, Huber fees, pay-for-stay, processing fees, or other allowed disbursements. A new booking may not appear online at once, so a missing search result is not proof that no arrest occurred.

Property release rules are specific. Brown County permits release of jewelry, cellphones, purse or wallet, and keys within 72 hours of incarceration if the form is signed by the inmate and the pickup person shows picture ID. Jury-trial clothing does not go to the jail. It must be delivered to Court Security at the courthouse by 4:00 p.m. the day before the hearing.
