How to Find an Inmate at Outagamie 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. County jail rosters typically list a person’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. Records usually become searchable after booking and initial processing are completed, which can take several hours, so a recently arrested person may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility for general custody information.
