How to Find an Inmate at Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center
Members of the public can look up custody information using the official inmate search link available on this page. County jail rosters usually list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but state prison listings may show DOC number, location, sentence status, and release eligibility instead. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest, transfer, or intake. Processing often takes several hours, and updates may depend on the agency entering the information. If a person is not listed right away, check again later or contact the appropriate Wisconsin Department of Corrections or county records office for guidance.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center?
Visitors usually must be approved before visiting here. Check the facility’s current visiting schedule and rules before making plans, because visits may require advance registration and can change due to staffing, security, or housing status.
What do I need to bring when visiting Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and follow the dress code and property rules. Minors usually must be accompanied by an approved adult, and items such as phones, bags, and personal property may be restricted.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?

How do I send mail to an inmate?
Use the inmate’s full name and DOC number if available, and follow the facility’s mail rules. Mail is typically inspected, and items such as cash, certain photos, and unauthorized enclosures may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family or friends may be able to deposit money through an approved payment service, but limits and fees can apply.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center?
Because this is a state correctional facility, most inmates here are serving sentences and do not have bail set through the facility. If the person has an active local court case or bond, contact the court clerk or the county jail handling that case for payment instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review paperwork, assess health and security needs, assign housing, and explain facility rules. Records may take several hours or longer to update, so the inmate may not appear in the search system immediately after arrival or transfer.
