How to Find an Inmate at Marathon County Jail

County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond information when available, and current custody status.

Processing can take several hours, so if a person was recently arrested, check again later or contact the facility directly for guidance.
