Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Racine Correctional Institution
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link provided on this page. State prison searches and jail rosters typically list identifying details such as the person’s name, inmate or booking number, booking or admission date, current location, charges or offense information, sentence details, and custody status when available. New records may not appear right away after a person is booked, transferred, or admitted; processing can take several hours, and updates may be delayed. If the person was recently arrested in Racine County, check both the county jail information and the Wisconsin DOC search, because pretrial detainees are usually listed through local systems before any state prison transfer.
