Find Kenosha County Pre-Trial Facility Inmates

Kenosha County Pre-Trial Custody

The Kenosha County Sheriff's Office Detentions Division identifies the Pre-Trial Facility as a separate county jail building at 927 54th Street. It is closely tied to the front end of the custody process: intake, booking, classification, housing assignments, and inmate court movements. Lieutenant Jason Schroeder is listed as the administrator for the Kenosha County Jail and Pre-Trial Facility, with shift commanders, correctional corporals, correctional officers, and clerical staff under that role.

Pretrial custody means the person is being held while the criminal case is still pending, or while bond, court, transfer, or release steps are being worked out. It is not the same as a state prison sentence. When a person is sentenced to Wisconsin DOC custody, the search channel changes to the DOC offender locator. When a person is physically in county custody under U.S. Marshals authority, the county jail process may still matter for local housing, money, and visiting steps.

The county Detentions Division page is the source for the Pre-Trial Facility address, phone, administrator, intake role, and average daily population.

The same source explains why Kenosha County jail lookup can involve two county buildings rather than one courthouse-campus jail.

Kenosha County Pre-Trial Population

The current Detentions Division page states that the Pre-Trial Facility maintains safe and humane housing for an average daily population of about 250 inmates. That figure is facility-specific in the official detention material. The broader county jail system, which includes more than the Pre-Trial Facility alone, had a 2025 average daily population of 699, with 6,026 bookings and 5,974 releases in the Sheriff's annual report.

The Pre-Trial Facility is part of the combined jail system built after the county's 1990s jail study and construction program. Historical material says the county had combined bed space of 600 after completion in 1998, with room to expand to 1,400. Current official sources did not publish a separate rated capacity for this facility. That means the available sourced number is the average daily population, not a precise rated bed count.

Search Kenosha County Pre-Trial Inmates

For a current Pre-Trial Facility roster search, start at the official Kenosha County Inmate Searches page and choose Current Inmate Search. That county page also links an archive inmate search for records before 05/02/2017 and a removal-from-search page. A live roster sample was not available in accessible text, so unverified roster fields should not be assumed. The county's mail and deposit pages do confirm use of full name, inmate ID number, and facility location.

1. Use the official county inmate-search landing page, then choose Current Inmate Search for current county jail custody.
2. Search by full first and last name. If known, use the inmate ID number to reduce mismatches.
3. Confirm whether the result is housed at the Pre-Trial Facility before visiting, mailing legal mail, or sending funds.
4. Call the intake and release line at 262-605-5111 when a recent arrest does not appear or the online roster cannot be reached.
5. Switch to Wisconsin DOC, BOP, ICE, or VINE if the person is no longer in county jail custody.

Kenosha County Pre-Trial Contact

The Pre-Trial Facility line is also identified as the inmate intake and release phone number in county source material. That makes it the practical phone path for new arrests, recent releases, classification status, and downtown pretrial housing questions. The Sheriff's Office main address is nearby at the Public Safety Building, but the official Detentions Division address for the Pre-Trial Facility is the 927 54th Street building.

Kenosha County Pre-Trial Visits

The official jail visitation and mail page gives a separate Pre-Trial Facility schedule. Family and friends use GettingOut or the GettingOut Visits app to register and schedule. Visitors need an email address, valid photo ID, and a device with internet, camera, and speakers for remote video. Off-site visits are paid. A free on-site visit must occur at the facility where the inmate is housed.

Pre-Trial Facility on-site visits differ from KCDC hours. Weekday regular on-site visits run in morning and afternoon blocks. Weekend unsupervised visits use the same time windows and have no security staff present. Holidays are excluded. The county's visitation regulations can end or suspend visits for dress-code violations, nudity, sexual behavior, weapons, drugs or alcohol, gang displays, or unlawful conduct.

The county visitation page is the source for the Pre-Trial Facility hours and scheduling rules.

The key point is facility placement: a Pre-Trial Facility inmate uses the Pre-Trial schedule, not the KCDC on-site schedule.

Kenosha County Pre-Trial Mail Money

The March 30, 2026 county mail change applies to the Pre-Trial Facility. Personal mail is no longer accepted directly at Kenosha County jail facilities and will be returned if sent there. Non-legal personal mail for this facility uses the off-site processor under the Kenosha PreTrial, WI line. Legal mail and approved packages continue to go to the appropriate facility address with the inmate's full name and ID number.

Inmate funds use the county jail account system, not the off-site mail processor. The official Inmate Accounts page lists Trust, Pin Debit, and AdvancePay accounts. The Lobby Kiosk Option page says kiosks are available in the Public Safety Building first-floor lobby and the KCDC lobby, but bond cannot be posted through the kiosk.

Kenosha County Pre-Trial Intake

The Pre-Trial Facility is the main Kenosha County jail building for new-arrest and intake-heavy custody. Its administrator oversees intake and booking, classification and housing assignment, inmate court movement, contracted commissary, food preparation, and medical or mental-health services. Booking is the jail intake process after arrest. Classification is the risk and housing review that helps decide where the person is held and what controls apply. Neither term means the person has been convicted.

Medical and mental-health continuity are also tied to the Pre-Trial Facility in the official detention material. The Detentions Division material says Pre-Trial leadership addresses mental-health crises and substance withdrawal and supports continuity of care for people already in treatment. Court movement is a separate operational task because a pretrial inmate may need transport to courthouse proceedings before the criminal case is resolved.

For the larger custody picture, the Kenosha County inmate population includes the Pre-Trial Facility, KCDC, electronic monitoring, work crew, and federal prisoners held under local agreement when applicable.

Kenosha County Pre-Trial Property

Property and clothing procedures are especially practical for the downtown Pre-Trial Facility. The official Inmate Clothing and Property page identifies the north entrance of the Pre-Trial Intake Building at 927 54th Street for some property releases. It also identifies the Public Safety Building second-floor jail window at 1000 55th Street for some jury-clothing drop-offs, and the south entrance of the Pre-Trial Building for money release.

Those details are narrow, but they matter because the Pre-Trial Facility sits near the Sheriff's Office and courthouse functions. A person handling property, jury clothing, or money release should not assume that KCDC's 88th Avenue building is the right destination. Call the Pre-Trial line first when the matter is tied to new intake, release, or downtown property handling.
