The Manitowoc Co Jail is a detention center located at 1025 S 9th St Manitowoc, WI which is operated locally by the Manitowoc 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. Manitowoc County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Manitowoc 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.

There are new detainees delivered to the jail daily, you can see arrest records here. Some are released after putting up bail, are released to a pretrial services caseload, are placed under supervision by a probation agency, or are released on their own recognizance with an agreement to appear in court. If there is no release, the inmate must wait here at the jail for their court appearance as a guest of the County, getting a bed and three square meals.

The inmate's classification is based on the type of current and past crimes they are charged with or have been found guilty of. It is also based on their previous history and disciplines while in custody. Their initial classification will not take place until they have been in custody for 72 hours. After their initial classification, it will come up for review.
