Choose the record path based on the issue you need to solve.
- For a person in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and then call the jail if the roster does not answer the custody question.
- For booking photos or image requests, use jail roster mugshots and the sheriff open-records request path.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and WCCA, then contact the Clerk for copies.
- For a specific place of custody, use the facility pages in the footer for Racine County Jail, Racine Correctional Institution, or Racine Youthful Offender Correctional Facility.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Wisconsin DOC Offender Locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
