Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Racine County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Racine 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.

Any person entering the secure perimeter of the jail is subject to a visual, pat and/or frisk search performed by staff of the same sex as the person being searched. Any person who is not in custody and who elects not to submit to such search will not be permitted to remain and will be directed out of the jail.
