Lookup Waupaca County Jail Inmates

Waupaca County Jail Overview

Waupaca County Jail is located in the Waupaca County Law Enforcement Center and is operated by the Waupaca County Sheriff's Office. Official county sources identify Sheriff Timothy R. Wilz as sheriff, Captain Adam Wogsland as Jail Administrator, and Lieutenant Jason Russell as responsible for jail operations. The jail opened in 2001 and serves as the county's main detention facility. No separate city jail, work-release annex, state prison, BOP facility, or ICE detention center was found in Waupaca County official sources.

The jail holds more than local pretrial detainees. County materials say it holds people awaiting trial, sentenced county prisoners, convicted felons waiting for Wisconsin DOC transfer, safekeepers from Wood and Portage counties, some Brown County extended-supervision inmates, Huber/work-release inmates, and electronic-monitoring participants. The public roster also shows out-of-facility locations such as Wisconsin Prison, electronic monitoring, and other county sheriff entries.

Waupaca County Jail Capacity

The 2024 Waupaca County Sheriff's Office Annual Report lists jail capacity as 321 inmates and average daily population as approximately 200. The county jail division page says the facility can house 320 inmates, so the annual report's 321 figure is the stronger dated number for statistics. The current inmate-list PDF reviewed in research showed 208 housed inmates on its 06/30/26 timestamp.

Classification includes minimum, medium, maximum, and disciplinary housing. The roster shows public class abbreviations such as MIN, MED, and MAX. It also shows floor and pod locations including second-floor and third-floor pods, plus OOF statuses for people not physically in a standard Waupaca jail cell.

Look Up Waupaca County Jail Inmates

The correct lookup system for Waupaca County Jail is the sheriff's Current Inmate List PDF. It is linked from the Waupaca County Corrections Division page. The report is not an interactive search portal. It is a name-sorted PDF with columns for InmateID, name, sex, race, time incarcerated, location, and classification.

1. Open the Waupaca County current inmate-list PDF.
2. Use the PDF viewer's Find box for the last name, or scan alphabetically.
3. Confirm the full name and read across the row for location and classification.
4. Call the jail at 715-256-4545 if the arrest is recent or the location field is unclear.
5. Use Wisconsin DOC, VINE, BOP, or ICE if the person is not in county jail custody.

The county page also identifies the jail's capacity, programs, and classification structure, which helps interpret roster rows.

Waupaca County Jail Address

Use the jail's direct line for custody questions and the Sheriff's Records Division for booking or law-enforcement records that are not online. Door 19 is a recurring local access point for after-hours bond, kiosk use, local video terminals, property pickup, medication and glasses drop-off, and certain court-related fingerprint instructions.

Visit Waupaca County Jail

Visits require approval and scheduling. Visitors must be on the inmate's approved visiting list, appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance, and visits are limited to 30 minutes twice weekly. All visitors are subject to wand or pat search. Intoxicated, drug-impaired, disruptive, or unauthorized-item situations can result in denial, and aiding escape or bringing forbidden items can lead to felony prosecution.

Mail and Photos at Waupaca Jail

Mail should include the inmate's name and Waupaca County Jail, 1402 E. Royalton Street, Waupaca, WI 54981. A return address is required. County rules bar drawings, stickers, heavy perfume, homemade cards, musical cards, website packages, social media or blog printouts, Twitter or lyric printouts, newspaper or magazine clippings, and inappropriate content. Softcover books may be sent directly from a publisher or vendor such as Amazon or Barnes and Noble if content is appropriate.

Inmates may possess six photos, with standard 4x6 preferred. No gang, inappropriate, or nude content is allowed. Wood and Portage County inmates cannot write Waupaca County Jail inmates and vice versa due to safekeeper housing and security risks. Property drop-off is not generally allowed; property pickup occurs Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Door 19 after the inmate completes a release form.

Waupaca Jail Commissary and Money

Waupaca County Jail commissary has detailed local rules. The weekly commissary limit is $100, including outside orders and inmate orders in any combination. Order cutoff is Wednesday at noon, with Saturday morning delivery unless holidays change timing. A lobby kiosk is available at Door 19 around the clock. Fresh Favorites can be ordered weekly if funds are on account by Monday, with delivery Thursday or Friday depending on housing.

County pages mention vendors including CIDNET, Stellar Services, JailATM, and NCIC depending on the service and update, so use the current county links before paying.

Medical Care at Waupaca Jail

Medical services are contracted through Wellpath. Nursing staff are available 24/7 for inmate medical care on request or in emergencies, and mental-health services are available on request. Inmates are financially responsible for medications and services provided while incarcerated. Medications and reading glasses may be dropped at Door 19, but prescriptions must be current, in original containers, properly labeled, and approved or denied by Wellpath medical staff.

The jail annual report also notes equipment and security tools such as a body scanner, live scan fingerprint machine, video monitoring, and Zoom for remote court appearances. Corrections deputies train in communications, Taser recertification, subject control, CERT, inmate classification, fire evacuation, suicide prevention, medication control, bloodborne pathogens, and peer support.

Bond and Huber at Waupaca Jail

Cash bond during business hours is posted at the Clerk of Courts, 811 Harding Street, third floor, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. After hours, the county directs bond posting to the jail at Door 19, where the kiosk accepts cash or debit. Bring exact funds if paying cash because staff cannot make change. Another hold, warrant, DOC issue, federal hold, or ICE detainer can still block release.

Huber/work-release inmates must pay a $140 weekly fee before work release is granted and submit a work schedule plus valid driver license, registration, and proof of insurance one week before sentence start. The county pages list booking fees inconsistently, with one page saying $25 and another saying a $40 fee may apply except for probation holds and safekeepers. Verify the current amount with the jail.

Waupaca Jail Programs

The jail page names GED, drug and alcohol counseling, religious counseling, telephone privileges, video visits, and the Inmate Worker Program. The 2024 annual report expands that list to FVTC GED education, FVTC GOAL, religion seven days per week with services and Bible study, AA/NA, volunteer programming, AODA provided by DHS, library access, book donations, and ongoing cooperation with the local library.

These programs are part of the county jail's day-to-day operations, not a state prison program system. Once a Waupaca defendant is sentenced to Wisconsin DOC custody and transferred, visitation, mail, money, phone, and programming rules are controlled by DOC and the receiving institution.
