Barron County Jail Inmate Lookup

Barron County Jail Overview

Barron County Jail is operated by the Barron County Sheriff's Department, led in the research by Sheriff Jodi Kummet, and is located in the Barron County Justice Center at 1420 State Highway 25 N in Barron. The county identifies the jail as a 194-bed facility built in 2003-2004. It holds local pretrial detainees, sentenced county-jail inmates, warrant holds, probation-violation holds, civil or child-support commitments, and people serving jail sentences who may be reviewed for electronic monitoring or Huber-style privileges.

The jail is more than a roster office. The official jail division page says the facility provides meals, medical and mental-health care, clothing and linens, laundry, visitation, mail and telephone access, recreation, religious programs, and access to courts and attorneys. Food service and medical services are contracted. Jail operations are listed under a Jail Captain with sergeants, full-time jailers, a receptionist, and a program director.

The county's Jail Division page is the source for the facility capacity, construction period, services, and jail contact block.

That source is the best starting point for facility-level facts; the roster and records pages handle inmate-specific lookup and request details.

Barron County Jail Capacity and Population

The strongest local capacity figure is the county's own 194-bed rating for Barron County Jail, inspected in July 2026. The research also found a rough public-roster snapshot of about 95 visible current-inmate entries during July 2026, but the roster changes and does not publish a fixed count or refresh interval. Treat the roster as a live custody channel, not a permanent population statistic.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Barron County Jail

The official county lookup path is the Barron County Jail Inmate Roster. It is not a search form with filters. It is an alphabetical public list of current inmates, with linked names and columns for name, gender, birth year, age, release date when posted, and charges. For very recent arrests, also check the Bookings in the Last 7 Days report. Sentenced state prisoners are searched through the Wisconsin DOC locator, not this county roster, and the research did not identify a separate city jail, DOC prison, federal prison, or ICE facility in Barron County.

The county's current inmate roster shows the public jail list rather than a typed search box.

Use names carefully because the public table withholds full dates of birth and does not show a booking number in the inspected record.

1. Open the official Barron County Jail roster page.
2. Scan the alphabetical list, or use the browser's find function for a last name.
3. Confirm identity with gender, birth year, age, and any listed release date.
4. Click the person's name for available profile details, which may include physical descriptors, images, commitment date, release date, and charge rows.
5. If the person is not listed, check the seven-day bookings report, call the jail at (715) 537-5559, check Wisconsin VINE, and search WCCA for filed court cases.

Barron County Jail Address and Contact

The jail is in the Justice Center, the same complex used for the Clerk of Circuit Court, circuit court branches, and District Attorney functions. That matters because booking, court filing, bond proceedings, and court records may all involve offices at the same State Highway 25 location. The county map page warns that the street address may be misplaced by Google Maps and gives GPS coordinates 45.409806, -91.850333 for the correct Justice Center location.

The county's Justice Center page provides the address and the GPS-coordinate warning.

Use the Justice Center coordinates when directions are time-sensitive, especially if traveling from Rice Lake, Cameron, Chetek, Cumberland, or Prairie Farm.

Visiting Someone at Barron County Jail

Barron County uses Securus Technologies for phone service and video visitation. The county FAQ says on-site visits are scheduled by calling (715) 637-6745, and the posted on-site visiting window is Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Bring a government photo ID and confirm current rules before traveling, because local security rules, dress standards, or inmate status can change a visit.

The county Securus phone and video visitation FAQ lists the scheduling and support numbers.

Remote video visit details and local fee schedules were not published in the reviewed county text, so Securus support is the correct account-help channel.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Barron County Jail

The jail page confirms that mail and telephone access are among the services the facility provides, but the reviewed official Barron County pages did not publish a complete mail policy, commissary vendor, money-deposit method, or deposit-fee schedule. Use the jail phone number before sending mail or funds, and do not assume that a kiosk, online deposit vendor, postcard-only rule, or scanned-mail system applies without current confirmation from the jail.

Booking and Intake at Barron County Jail

A person arrested in Barron County is typically taken to Barron County Jail or processed under Sheriff's Department custody. Public-facing booking outputs include the roster list, recent-booking report, profile images when available, commitment date, release date when posted, and charge rows with offense date, code, and description. The reviewed sample profile did not show a booking number, full date of birth, address, bond amount, housing unit, arresting agency, or next court date.

Booking generally involves identity verification, agency paperwork, photographs and fingerprints, property inventory, charge or hold entry, medical and mental-health screening, classification, and phone or communication access. The roster does not publish an update interval, so a very recent arrest may require a phone call to the jail or a check of the seven-day bookings report. Filed court charges and future hearings are tracked through Wisconsin Circuit Court Access after a court case exists.

About Barron County Jail Programs and Local Custody

Barron County's most concrete program material is its electronic monitoring packet. The packet is addressed through Barron County Jail Room 1008 and lists program requirements such as employment verification on employer letterhead, ignition-interlock proof when ordered by the court, AODA assessment paperwork when ordered, insurance documentation, completed electronic-monitoring forms, transfer approval, urinalysis, and payment of Barron County debt.

Published electronic monitoring costs in the packet include a $450.00 Sun Monitoring payment, a $20.00 jail booking fee, and a $5.00 UA fee. The Circuit Courts page also describes Barron County Recovery Court as a treatment, rewards, and sanctions program for drug- or alcohol-dependent felons, involving the court, District Attorney, Sheriff's Department, Health and Human Services, State Public Defender, Wisconsin DOC, and the St. Croix Tribe. Those programs do not replace the jail roster, but they explain why some sentenced people may move between jail custody, court supervision, and monitored release.
