Lake Tomahawk, WI McNaughton Correctional Center View

It is a state facility, not a county jail, and generally houses sentenced adult male inmates who are in DOC custody and classified for minimum-security placement.

Pretrial detainees and people newly arrested in Oneida County are typically held through the county jail system rather than at this state correctional center.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at McNaughton Correctional Center
To find someone held at McNaughton Correctional Center, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or the Wisconsin DOC offender locator. State inmate listings usually show the person’s name, DOC number, assigned facility, custody status, and sentence or case information. County jail rosters may also list booking date, charges, and custody status, but a state prison record may not show the same booking details. Records are not always searchable immediately after an arrest, transfer, or intake; processing can take several hours, and updates may appear later. If the person does not appear, check again or contact the facility or the agency that made the arrest.

What happens during the intake process at McNaughton Correctional Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
