What This Site Does
Wisconsin public-records law makes many jail, court, and agency records available, but the right search depends on who has custody or who created the record. The Marathon County Sheriff's Office runs the local adult jail roster for people booked into, held by, or supervised through the Marathon County Jail. The Wisconsin Department of Corrections uses a separate offender locator for sentenced people in DOC custody or supervision. Federal prisoners, former federal prisoners, and immigration detainees are searched through separate federal systems. This site brings those rosters, record links, facility details, and request steps into a single local guide.
What You Can Use Here

Limits of This Site
This is a privately operated reference website. It is not part of Marathon County, the Marathon County Sheriff's Office, the Marathon County Jail, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, any court, or any other government agency.
- We cannot release, hold, move, or transfer anyone in custody.
- We cannot post bond, schedule visits, add money to an account, or arrange jail services for someone else.
- We do not provide legal advice or tell a person how to handle a criminal case.
- We cannot promise that every phone number, fee, address, or agency page remains current after it is published here.
This site explains public lookup paths, but it does not make custody, charge, release, or case decisions. Official records remain controlled by the offices that maintain them.
Search Partners
Some pages may include search tools supplied by outside providers. Those providers set their own prices, account terms, result coverage, and privacy practices. If a visitor follows a partner tool and chooses a paid service, this site may receive a referral fee, which helps keep the local guide available at no charge. We do not control partner pricing or the records those tools return.
