Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Flambeau Correctional Center
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page. County jail rosters usually list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, while Wisconsin Department of Corrections searches may list the inmate’s name, DOC number, assigned facility, and custody status. If a person was recently taken into custody, records may not appear right away because booking, transport, and data entry can take several hours. Check the official search again later if no result appears, and contact the facility or the appropriate county jail if you are unsure whether the person is in state or local custody.
