Brown County Jail Lookup
The official starting point is the Brown County Jail Inmate Lookup Tool. Brown County says the tool lets the public access current and former inmates, and the service text gives three ways to search: first name, last name, or inmate number. It also states that released inmates can be included by selecting a checkbox. That released-inmate option matters because a person may bond out, finish a short stay, transfer, or move to another agency before a family member checks the roster.
The county service page links to the official lookup host at lookup-inmate-jail.browncountywi.gov. The live root did not expose a public profile during text inspection, so Brown County inmate records should not be described as showing unverified fields such as mugshot, housing unit, height, weight, court date, or bond amount. Use the roster for the supported name, inmate-number, current, and former-custody search path, then use the court and records channels for details the roster does not confirm.
The county source for the lookup is the Brown County service page.
The screenshot is useful because it ties the public roster search to Brown County's own service page instead of an unofficial jail-listing site.
Use Brown County Roster Search
A good Brown County inmate records search starts with the most exact identity data available. A full legal name is better than a nickname. An inmate number is better than a common name. If the person was arrested recently and no result appears, avoid assuming the person was never booked. Sheriff Todd Delain's Brown County Sheriff's Office runs the jail division, but intake, court release, a same-day bond, a transfer, a state hold, or another county case can all change what a roster search returns.
- Open the Brown County Jail Inmate Lookup Tool from the county service page.
- Enter the first and last name if no inmate number is known.
- Use the inmate number when a jail, attorney, or court document provides one.
- Select the released-inmates checkbox if the person may have left active custody.
- If the search fails, check sheriff records, WCCA, VINELink, the Wisconsin DOC locator, BOP, or ICE based on the custody stage.
For custody questions tied to the main jail, the Brown County Sheriff's Office Jail Division lists the jail at 3030 Curry Lane, Green Bay, WI 54311, with jail phone 920-448-4250. Sheriff records requests use the Sheriff's Office Records Division at 2684 Development Drive, Green Bay, WI 54311, phone 920-448-4200, or the public records portal.
Brown County Roster Fields
The Brown County roster search fields are limited in the official text reviewed. That limitation is still important because it prevents false confidence. The search form can be used for a current or former inmate, but the county did not publish a full sample inmate profile in the inspected service text.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First name | Text | Unspecified | County says to type the person's first and last name. |
| Last name | Text | Unspecified | Use exact spelling where possible. |
| Inmate number | Text | Optional alternative | Best for avoiding same-name matches when known. |
| Released inmates | Checkbox | Optional | Select it to include former or released inmates. |
| Search or submit | Button | Required | The exact label was not visible in the text source. |
Note: Brown County publishes a released-inmate search option, but no official retention period was located in the reviewed source text.
Brown County Inmate Record Details
Brown County inmate records should be read with the source limits in mind. The jail service page confirms search inputs and current or former custody coverage. It does not confirm every field that may appear after a live search. For filed charges, court dates, case numbers, and charge outcomes, use Wisconsin Circuit Court Access or the Brown County Clerk of Circuit Court. For bond payment instructions, use the county's bond page rather than a third-party payment caller.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| First name / last name | Search inputs advertised by Brown County. |
| Inmate number | Search input or identifier advertised by the county service page. |
| Released-inmates checkbox | Search option for people no longer in active jail custody. |
| Current/former custody coverage | The county general service says the tool allows access to current and former inmates. |
| Booking photo / mugshot | Not confirmed in the official Brown County lookup text inspected. |
| Charges, bond, housing, court date | Not confirmed in the lookup text; use WCCA, bond, and sheriff records channels as needed. |
Brown County Record Channels
Brown County inmate records are spread across several public systems because jail custody, filed charges, prison custody, victim notification, and federal detention are not the same record. The roster is the first county-jail stop. The Sheriff's Office records process is the fallback for booking information, public records, or details not shown in the lookup. WCCA is the court record once the prosecutor files charges. The Wisconsin DOC locator is for sentenced state prisoners, including people housed at Green Bay Correctional Institution after transfer.
| Need | Access Channel | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current or former Brown County jail custody | Jail Inmate Lookup Tool | Name, inmate number, released status search. |
| Booking record or older jail detail | Sheriff JustFOIA portal | Public-record request to the Sheriff's Office. |
| Filed charges and hearings | WCCA | Brown County circuit criminal cases. |
| Sentenced state prison custody | Wisconsin DOC locator | Persons in DOC care after sentencing. |
| Victim notification or custody alerts | VINELink | Notification, not a full booking record. |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP or ICE ODLS | Federal sentenced prisoners or immigration detainees. |
Brown County Jail Facilities
Brown County's local jail system centers on Brown County Jail, operated by the Brown County Sheriff's Office Jail Division. The facility holds pretrial detainees, sentenced county inmates, juveniles in the detention center setting, inmate workers, and Huber or electronic monitoring participants. The Brown County Work Release Center is treated in official PREA and visitation material as part of the jail division's work-release footprint. Green Bay Correctional Institution is different: it is a Wisconsin DOC maximum-security state prison and is not searched through the county jail roster.

Brown County Booking Records
After a Brown County arrest, a person may be transported to the Brown County Jail for intake. The jail creates custody and account records, collects money or property, starts classification review, and assigns the person to a housing or custody status. Brown County's inmate-account source ties intake money to an inmate trust account under Wis. Stat. 303.08. Money in that account can be used for commissary, medical fees, Huber fees, pay-for-stay, processing fees, or other authorized deductions.
Property and court clothing have local rules. The county permits certain property releases within 72 hours of incarceration for jewelry, cellphones, a purse or wallet, and keys when the inmate signs a release and the pickup person presents photo ID. Jury-trial clothing no longer goes to the jail for courthouse transfer. It must be delivered to courthouse Court Security by 4:00 p.m. the day before the hearing. These details are jail records and procedure issues, not WCCA case entries.
- Booking
- The jail intake event after arrest.
- Inmate number
- A jail identifier used to separate people with similar names.
- Huber
- A Wisconsin work-release privilege for eligible jail inmates.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency, such as DOC, another county, federal authorities, or ICE.
Brown County Visitation Records
Visitation is part of the jail-information chain because a valid custody result is often needed before a family member schedules a visit. Brown County uses video visitation through JailATM.com and ICSolutions. Regular visits last 20 minutes, with a maximum of two guests in view, subject to officer discretion for small children. On-site video visits are free. Remote visits cost $5.95 except attorney or approved professional visits. The county says approvals generally take 24 to 48 hours, and most visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance.
The Brown County visitation page is the county source for the jail and work-release visit schedule.
The schedule applies to regular jail visits, while attorney and approved professional visits follow separate approval rules.
| Visit Type | Facility | Days | Hours | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remote video | Brown County Jail | Sunday-Saturday | 7:00-10:30 a.m.; 1:00-3:30 p.m.; 5:30-9:00 p.m. | $5.95 except attorney or approved professional |
| On-site video | Main Jail or Work Release Center | Monday-Friday | 8:30-10:00 a.m.; 1:30-3:30 p.m. | No charge |
| Professional/attorney | Jail professional visit process | Per approval and schedule | Confirm with jail rules | Not treated as ordinary remote visit |
Brown County Mail and Money
Brown County inmate records often lead to mail, money, or account questions. The county mail policy changed on October 6, 2025. Personal mail goes to JailATM.com, Brown County Jail WI, inmate name and ID number, P.O. Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. Personal mail sent directly to the Curry Lane jail is returned to sender. Legal mail from a licensed attorney of record and business or transactional documents go directly to the jail, with the inmate name and number included.
| Money Method | Fee or Limit |
|---|---|
| Lobby kiosk cash | $2 fee for cash, with $1 minimum transaction plus fee. |
| Lobby kiosk card | $8.95 card fee, with county-listed transaction limits. |
| Online through InmateCanteen.com | $8.95 card fee and $9.95 minimum transaction. |
| Mailed money order or cashier's check | Made out to the inmate; no personal checks. |
| Aramark Icare package | Delivered weekly, with shipping and tax stated by the county source. |
Note: Confirm active custody before sending money or mail because release, transfer, and DOC placement can change the correct channel.
State and Federal Inmate Lookup
Brown County jail records are not the same as state prison records. After a Wisconsin sentence to prison, the person moves into Wisconsin Department of Corrections custody and should be searched in the WI DOC Inmate and Offender Search. DOC states that city and county jails are administered separately, so a person who does not appear in DOC may still be in county custody or may be found through VINELink. Green Bay Correctional Institution is a state prison in Brown County, but it is searched through DOC.
Federal and immigration custody have separate locators. The BOP Inmate Locator is for sentenced federal prisoners. A federal pretrial detainee may not appear there before sentencing. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is the official immigration-detention lookup. No official Brown County sheriff or Green Bay police mobile app with an app-only roster was found, so the public access chain remains the county lookup, sheriff records, WCCA, DOC, VINELink, BOP, and ICE.
