Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Chippewa Valley Correctional Treatment Facility
To find someone here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or locator. County jail rosters typically list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but a state DOC facility may show different details, such as DOC number, current location, and custody status. Records are not always searchable immediately after arrival or booking because processing, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person was recently arrested, first check the local county jail roster or contact the arresting agency, because pretrial detainees are usually held at a county jail before any transfer to state custody.
