How to Find an Inmate at Chippewa County Correctional Facility
Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and custody status. New bookings are not always searchable right away because intake, identification, medical screening, and record entry can take several hours. If a person was recently arrested and does not appear in the roster, check again later or contact the facility for guidance. Records may also change as court hearings, releases, transfers, or new charges are processed.
