When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Wood County WI Jail so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Wood Co Jail is a detention center located at 400 Market St Wisconsin Rapids, WI which is operated locally by the Wood County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Wood County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Wisconsin Rapids Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Wisconsin here.
The Wood County Jail provides detailed guidelines and rules for its inmates, aimed at ensuring their safety, the security of the facility, and the welfare of staff, other law enforcement personnel, and visitors. These rules are in place to benefit the inmates; however, violations may lead to conduct reports, and, if proven, may result in jail discipline.
Inmates are expected to adhere strictly to these regulations as failure to comply can result in appropriate disciplinary actions or criminal prosecution. Segregation of inmates may occur for reasons such as rule violations, prevention of escape, protection of inmates and staff, and to safeguard inmates' health and welfare.
The jail offers a commissary service at least once a week where inmates can purchase items like candies, snacks, and personal hygiene products. Once an order is placed, there are no exchanges or refunds. If an inmate is released before receiving their items, these will be held for up to 30 days. Inmates can arrange to pick up their items by calling ahead.
Regarding personal items, inmates are allowed a limited number of specific belongings in the cell blocks:
- Up to three changes of underclothing, socks, and white handkerchiefs without writing, which can be labeled upon request.
- Religious items such as soft-covered prayer books, Bibles, and medals up to 2 inches in diameter or height.
- A maximum of two unframed photographs sized up to 5" x 7".
- One deck of playing cards and one approved game per cellblock at a time.
- Plain wedding bands, though the jail is not responsible for any loss.
- Reading materials must be mailed directly from the publisher.
- Jail-issue or commissary-purchased toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, shampoo, deodorant, and soap.
- Wooden pencils provided by the Jail, paperback books from the publisher or jail library (limit of 4), a styrofoam cup, court and legal papers, a limited amount of personal papers, and jail-issued shoes.
All personal property must fit within a provided storage container that closes properly. Sharp or dangerous items are strictly prohibited.
During visits, money can be deposited into the inmate's account, but no other items are accepted. All letters, paperwork, and pictures must be mailed. The jail is not responsible for any articles left beyond 30 days after an inmate's release; these will be disposed of.
For court appearances, inmates should note that these are scheduled by the courts, and the jail relies on court notifications for this information. Typically, individuals brought in on new charges or warrants appear before the Intake Courtroom Judge or via video conference at 1:30 pm the following day (Monday - Friday). This occurs on the 3rd floor of the City/County Building at 400 Market Street, Wisconsin Rapids, where the public can view the proceedings on a monitor. Bail for charges in Wood County or Wisconsin Rapids can be posted at the Clerk of Courts during business hours or at the front lobby of the Wood County Jail after hours.
