Gordon, WI Gordon Correctional Center View
Gordon Correctional Center is a state correctional facility in Gordon, Douglas County, Wisconsin. It is operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, not the county sheriff’s office. The facility generally houses adult inmates who have been sentenced to state custody, rather than people held only for a new arrest or pretrial detention. Its role is to provide secure custody, supervision, and correctional programming for inmates assigned by the state prison system. For arrest, booking, and short-term pretrial custody information in Douglas County, the county jail or sheriff’s office is usually the appropriate agency.

How to Find an Inmate at Gordon Correctional Center
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page. State and county inmate search tools list custody records in different ways, but records commonly include the person’s name, booking or admission date when available, charges or offense information, and current custody status. If a person was just arrested or transferred, the record may not appear right away because booking, intake, and data entry can take several hours. If no result appears, check spelling, try fewer search fields, and search again later. For county jail arrests in Douglas County, the sheriff’s office roster may be the better source.
