Look Up St. Croix County Inmate Records

St. Croix County Jail Roster Overview

The official online route for St. Croix County inmate records is the St. Croix County Sheriff Zuercher inmate portal. It covers the sheriff-operated county jail in Hudson, not the Wisconsin Department of Corrections correctional center in New Richmond. For a new arrest, a local warrant, a short county sentence, a probation or parole hold, or a hold for another agency accepted by the jail, the county roster is the first search point.

The roster is useful, but it is not a full criminal case file. The visible template focuses on custody fields: name, mugshot status, race, sex, DOB or age, cell block, arrest date, held-for agency, release date, and hold reasons. Formal court charges are checked in Wisconsin Circuit Court Access after a prosecutor files a case. State DOC custody, BOP custody, ICE custody, and VINELink notifications each use a different system.

Use the St. Croix County Inmate Roster

Search broad before narrowing. The roster supports several filters, but too many filters can hide a valid result if one field is misspelled or not yet posted. Name is the best first field. Add arrest date, held-for agency, sex, race, cell block, in-custody date, or release date only when a name search returns too many rows.

1. Open the St. Croix County Sheriff public inmate route.
2. Enter a name. Use fewer letters if the spelling may vary.
3. Add date, sex, race, cell block, held-for agency, or release-date filters only after a broad search.
4. Read the row for mugshot status, demographics, housing, arrest date, held-for agency, and release date.
5. Check the hold-reason line beneath the row, because warrants and agency holds can appear there.
6. Call the jail at 715-386-4752 if a recent booking, release, or transfer may not yet be reflected online.

The county did not publish a roster refresh interval or a rule for how long released records remain online. That gap matters most when someone was booked recently, released the same day, transferred to another agency, or moved into state custody.

St. Croix County Roster Search Fields

The Zuercher portal is more detailed than a simple last-name roster. Static inspection found filters that can help separate common names and border-county agency holds. The held-for-agency field is especially useful in St. Croix County because arrests can involve the sheriff, municipal police, warrants, probation holds, or another agency.

The official inmate search screenshot in the manifest comes from the St. Croix County Sheriff Zuercher portal.

The screen confirms the public filter-and-results layout used for St. Croix County inmate records, so the fields below should be read as county-specific rather than generic roster advice.

St. Croix County Inmate Record Fields

A roster row should be read as custody information, not as proof of conviction. A person can be held on a warrant, new arrest, probation hold, agency hold, or other custody reason. The District Attorney may later file different charges than the arrest or hold language suggests, and the court case may contain dates and filings that do not appear on the jail roster.

Verify St. Croix County Custody

The access chain is broader than the online roster. For urgent custody status, call the St. Croix County Jail at 715-386-4752. For in-person questions, the jail and sheriff campus is at 1101 Carmichael Road, Hudson, WI 54016. The county research did not locate a separate booking-desk number beyond the jail phone, and it did not locate a public-counter schedule, so confirm hours before traveling.

For booking records, jail records, incident records, or records not visible in the roster, use the St. Croix County public-records process. Wisconsin public-records law supports access to many records, but the custodian can withhold or redact records under statutory exceptions, juvenile confidentiality, sealed-record rules, investigative needs, or the public-records balancing test.

Find County, State, and Federal Inmates

Search location depends on legal custody. The St. Croix County Jail roster covers county custody. The Wisconsin DOC Locator covers sentenced state prisoners, including people assigned to St. Croix Correctional Center. The BOP locator covers federal prisoners, and ICE ODLS covers immigration detention searches. VINELink is a notification channel, not a complete roster.

Booking Process in St. Croix County

The county pages inspected do not publish a step-by-step booking manual. The safe local description is that a person arrested by a St. Croix County agency is taken to the sheriff-operated jail, processed through identity checks, property handling, booking photo or fingerprints where required, medical or safety screening, classification, and housing assignment. The public side of that work appears in the roster fields for arrest date, held-for agency, cell block, mugshot status, release date, and hold reasons.

The roster should not be used as the final answer for charges filed after an arrest. The prosecutor files charges, and the circuit court record tracks the case. For that path, use court records after a jail arrest and WCCA. For booking photos, use St. Croix County jail mugshots and the county public-records process when the photo is not online.

St. Croix County Jail Visits

St. Croix County jail visits are video based through HomeWAV. The county visitation page says all visitors must register online, choose the jail and inmate, complete audio, video, and internet-speed tests, and buy minutes for remote visits. Remote visits run daily from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with the last visit beginning at 9 p.m. The county lists remote video at $0.25 per minute.

Lobby kiosk visits are not in-person contact visits. The county lists one free 20-minute kiosk visit per week and paid kiosk time outside the free windows. The schedule below should be checked against the county page before a visit because jail visit rules can change quickly.

Mail, Money, and Bond Records

County jail mail should be addressed to the inmate name at St. Croix County Jail, 1101 Carmichael Road, Hudson, WI 54016. Mail must include the sender's full return address. The county page says mail with perfume, lipstick, or similar exterior substances will not be delivered and may be placed with inmate property or returned. It also says not to send Polaroid pictures, personal checks, property, stamps, envelopes, or contraband.

The Accounts and Fees page lists JAILATM for online account deposits, a jail lobby kiosk for cash or credit card, and certified funds by U.S. Mail such as a cashier's check or money order. The Paying Bonds page says bonds can be posted online through JAILATM or at the jail lobby kiosk, with Clerk of Courts handling cashier's checks and bonds over $10,000 during business hours.
