Marinette County Jail Overview
Marinette County Jail is operated by the Marinette County Sheriff's Office. The jail and sheriff's office share the University Drive complex in the City of Marinette, near the Green Bay shoreline region and the Michigan border. Sheriff Randy P. Miller is named in the 2024 Sheriff's Office annual report, and the report lists Civilian Jail Administrator Bob Majewski and Assistant Jail Administrator Joseph Moser in the jail administration structure.
The current jail opened in 2004. The 2024 annual report says the inmate population has increased 60.6 percent since that opening year, which makes the facility's capacity and staffing details important context for any Marinette County jail roster search. The facility is treated here as the primary county jail and Huber location. No separate Marinette County work-release building, regional jail, federal detention center, ICE facility, or Wisconsin DOC adult prison was identified in the research file.
The official Marinette County Jail page is the local starting point for facility information, including the jail office number, visitation materials, inmate phone information, mail references, medical information, volunteer materials, Huber details, and the county's direction to VINE for current custody searches.
The jail page screenshot reflects the county's own routing: local jail details stay on the Sheriff's Office website, while current custody lookup is handled through VINE rather than a county-hosted roster table.
Marinette County Jail Capacity and Population
The 2024 Sheriff's Office annual report includes the annual jail inspection letter dated July 11, 2024, with an inspection date of June 26, 2024. That inspection listed Marinette County Jail at a maximum rated capacity of 165. On the inspection date, the facility held 130 adult inmates, and no inmates were assigned to electronic monitoring. The same inspection found no administrative code violations and stated that the jail was approved to double-cell with 10 bunks, but was not approved to hold juveniles.
For 2024, the annual report listed a 127.48 average daily population, up from 124.31 in 2023. January 2024 was the high month at 155.61 average inmates, and December 2024 was the low month at 111.26. The report also states that 2,089 individuals were processed during 2024, with 1,415 male and 673 female individuals reported.

Lookup at Marinette County Jail
Marinette County does not publish a conventional county-hosted roster table on the jail page captured in the research. Instead, the official jail page directs users to VINE to search for someone currently in custody. VINE is a custody-status and notification system, so it should not be treated as a full sheriff booking report with every charge, bond, housing, mugshot, or booking field. For filed court charges after arrest, use Wisconsin Circuit Court Access. For someone sentenced to state prison after a Marinette County case, use the Wisconsin DOC offender locator.
The public VINELink search interface is the broader custody-search and notification portal used for participating records.
Because Marinette County points current inmate searches to VINE, a missing result should be handled carefully. Recent arrests can still be in transport, intake, court, medical care, or processing, and the county research does not publish a fixed VINE refresh interval.
- Open the official Marinette County Jail page or go directly to VINELink.
- Select Wisconsin if the portal starts at the national level.
- Search by first and last name, and use an ID or facility filter only if the interface provides one.
- Compare spelling, age or date-of-birth cues, custody location, and status before assuming a record is the right person.
- If no record appears, call Marinette County Jail at 715-732-7630 or use the sheriff records/public-records route for older booking records or records not shown online.
Lookup note: VINE helps confirm current custody and may offer notification registration. It is not the same thing as a county booking-photo gallery or a complete jail incident record.
Marinette County Jail Address and Contact
The jail office is the local contact point for current custody questions, visitation routing, and basic jail information. The Sheriff's Office is in the same complex and can route administrative or records questions when a booking record, older custody record, or booking photo is not available online. The research did not locate a dedicated sheriff public-records request form, so public-records routing should begin with the sheriff/jail address or the county's general contact channel.

Visiting Someone at Marinette County Jail
Marinette County Jail visitation is scheduled through CIDNET after the visitor is approved as an inmate contact. The visitation memo says local visits are free for approved family members and loved ones, and inmates remain in their cells during the visit. Appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance, and jail staff review the schedule daily. Extra visits beyond the inmate's classification allowance can be canceled without notice.
Visitors must bring photo identification with a birth date. A visitor must be at least 18 to visit alone. Visitors ages 12 through 17 may visit when accompanied by a parent or guardian who is also approved and scheduled. Personal property, including cell phones, must be left in a secured vehicle or lobby locker. Lockers require a refundable 25-cent deposit. Visitors must be sober, and the memo allows PBT alcohol testing when sobriety is questioned.
| Classification | Weekly Local Visit Allowance | Scheduling Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Three 30-minute visits | Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday, 13:30-16:00 and 19:00-21:00 |
| Medium | Two 20-minute visits | Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday, 13:30-16:00 and 19:00-21:00 |
| Maximum | One 10-minute visit | Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday, 13:30-16:00 and 19:00-21:00 |
CIDNET approval comes before scheduling. The CIDNET public portal process includes creating an account, verifying email, filling out identifying information, uploading a government-issued ID photo, requesting a link to the inmate by selecting state, facility, and name, waiting for jail approval, and then scheduling an on-site or remote video visit if available.
Marinette County Jail Mail Money
CIDNET is documented for public portal linking, video visits, and mail or message features where enabled. The CIDNET pamphlet notes that not every facility allows every service, so users should confirm available options after the inmate link is approved. Traditional postal mail rules should be confirmed through the jail rules materials linked from the official jail page or by calling the jail office before sending items.
For sentenced and Huber inmates, the county's General Rules and Fees document gives specific fee rules. It states that Huber Law inmates are charged $25 per day for the duration of the stay and that $175 must be collected and placed in the account before release for work. Non-Huber inmates are also charged $25 per day plus expenses. Because the extracted rules are marked revised 04/23, confirm current amounts with the jail before relying on them for payment planning.

| Mail / messages | CIDNET mail button where enabled; traditional mail rules through jail rules materials | Confirm current rules with the jail |
| Phone / video | CIDNET public portal for approved contacts and scheduled video services | Remote communication may require data purchase |
| Huber daily fee | $25 per day | General Rules and Fees, revised 04/23 |
| Huber pre-work account amount | $175 before release for work | General Rules and Fees |
| Non-Huber daily fee | $25 per day plus expenses | General Rules and Fees |
Booking and Intake at Marinette County Jail
A Marinette County arrest can begin with a sheriff deputy, city police department, state patrol officer, or another law-enforcement agency. If the person is held, transport goes to Marinette County Jail for intake. The normal process can include identity checks, search, property inventory, health and medication screening, fingerprints and photograph if required by law-enforcement procedure, classification, housing assignment, phone or contact access, and a later court appearance or release decision.
People reporting for a jail sentence must report to the Sheriff's Department intake entrance at the date and time ordered by the court, bring picture identification, and not report under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The sentenced-inmate rules also state that a person with medication should bring it in the prescription bottle in sufficient quantity for the sentence or bring enough money for refills, and should know the doctor's name and telephone number. The jail physician reviews medication after arrival.
Huber participants have added documentation requirements. The research lists employment proof on company letterhead, work schedule, driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance where relevant. Self-employed Huber participants have a longer documentation list, including Federal Tax ID, prior-year tax return, business card, separate business checking account or bank statements, business insurance, and job bids or records.
About Marinette County Jail
The 2024 annual report and inspection describe both programming and operating pressure at the jail. Even with the Inmate Education and Programs Coordinator position vacant in 2024, the jail reported 49 GED tests, 38 passing scores, and 11 General Education Diplomas. The report also noted Aramark food service and inmate kitchen-worker labor, an IN2WORK program graduate, a jail-based competency restoration agreement, and contracted services from Southern Health Partners.
Medical and mental-health coverage is a significant part of the facility's recent operating picture. The inspection and annual report identify Southern Health Partners as the contracted medical provider for 54 hours per week and onsite mental-health provider for 16 hours per week. Marinette County crisis-ADAPT is available for after-hours emergencies. The sheriff's report also described a changing jail population with more health, mental-health, drug, and alcohol-related needs.
Recent facility-condition notes include roof leak management, ceiling-tile replacement needs, painting, flooring, and possible upgrades to inmate plumbing valves and controls. Staffing was another major 2024 theme: the report said the jail was sometimes short by five or six officers, about 20 to 25 percent, although recruitment progress began later in the year. The annual inspection found no administrative code violations on the inspection date.
