Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Brown County Jail
Members of the public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. New bookings do not always appear right away because intake, identification, medical screening, and record entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested, check the roster again later or contact the facility for general custody information. Records may change as court hearings occur, charges are updated, or a person is released or transferred.
