Find a Green County Jail Inmate and Verify Current Custody
If you are trying to find someone arrested in Monroe, Brodhead, New Glarus, Monticello, Albany or elsewhere in Green County, start with the Green County Jail itself. The county’s current jail guidance does not provide a browsable name-by-name inmate roster; instead, it directs people to call the jail at 608-328-9598 or the Sheriff’s Communication Center at 608-328-9400.
For an online check, Wisconsin’s statewide WI VINE County Jails service is the useful next step. For charges, court dates and case activity, use Wisconsin Circuit Court Access rather than treating a custody record as a complete criminal case.

How to Search for a Green County Jail Inmate
Because Green County currently directs custody inquiries through the jail rather than a county-hosted public roster, use this order. It avoids wasting time on commercial databases that may show an old arrest rather than current custody.
- Have the person’s identifying information ready. Use the full legal name and, if known, date of birth. An approximate arrest date, city of arrest or case number can also help distinguish people with similar names.
- Call Green County Jail at 608-328-9598. Ask whether the person is presently in Green County Jail, was recently released or has been transferred.
- If you cannot reach the jail line, call 608-328-9400. This is the Green County Sheriff’s Communication Center and is also the county’s published fallback number for jail-status questions.
- Use WI VINE for an online county-jail custody check. Choose Wisconsin, search the person’s name and verify the result carefully before relying on it.
- Check Wisconsin Circuit Court Access for the criminal case. Use it when you need filed charges, public docket activity or court information rather than only present jail status.
- Check Wisconsin DOC only if the person may have moved into state custody. Wisconsin DOC specifically separates state-prison custody from people held in locally administered county jails.
If You Cannot Find the Person
A missing online result does not necessarily mean there was no arrest. Green County is especially important to verify by telephone because the county’s own jail instructions tell users to call rather than rely on a public local roster.
| Possible reason | What to do next |
|---|---|
| Arrest happened very recently | Booking may still be underway. Call 608-328-9598 or 608-328-9400 and check again later. |
| Person was released | Current-custody tools may stop showing the person. Search Wisconsin court records for the filed case. |
| Name does not match | Try the legal surname, middle name, previous surname or a different spelling. |
| Person was transferred | Ask Green County Jail where the person was sent. If sentenced into state custody, check Wisconsin DOC. |
| Arrest occurred outside Green County | Confirm the arresting agency and county before searching another jail. |
| Record is restricted | Juvenile and other legally restricted records may not be available through normal public searches. |

The jail handles booking and release processing for Green County. It houses people at different custody levels, including people awaiting court proceedings and sentenced inmates who may qualify for Huber/work-release privileges.
How to Check Charges, Case Status and Court Dates
The jail record answers a custody question. The court record answers the case question. A charge listed around the time of arrest can later be amended, dismissed or handled differently after review by the prosecutor and court.
- First confirm the person’s legal name through the jail or WI VINE.
- Open the Wisconsin Court System’s case-search page.
- Select the circuit-court search.
- Search the person’s name and identify the Green County case.
- Compare identifiers and case information before assuming a same-name record belongs to the person you are researching.
- For a court-date question that cannot be resolved online, call the Green County Clerk of Circuit Court at 608-328-9433.
Green County states that people with recent arrests generally remain in jail until their initial court appearance. The timing depends on complaint preparation and court scheduling and is commonly about 1 to 4 days. Jail staff do not set the court calendar.
Bond, Bail and Release in Green County
Before paying anything, confirm the current bond amount, the agency that must receive payment and whether another hold prevents release. A bond payment does not always mean the person walks out immediately; release processing and other warrants or holds can affect timing.
Green County’s jail FAQ lists these possible bond routes:
- Bond may be posted at the jail using the on-site kiosk with cash or an accepted credit card.
- During normal weekday business hours, some bond payments may be handled at the Green County Justice Center, 2841 6th Street.
- If a person was brought to jail on certain Monroe Police Department charges, payment may need to be handled through the Monroe Police Department. Call before traveling.
- Charges originating with another municipal police agency can require contacting that municipality.
- The county also directs users to JailATM for supported bond/account transactions.
Because the correct payment point depends on the case, the safest sequence is: confirm inmate → confirm bond amount → ask where this specific bond must be posted → pay only through the verified channel.
Green County Jail Visitation
Friends and family use video visitation. Green County states that face-to-face personal visits are not offered. Visitors can use remote video service through Reliance Telephone or the on-site video booths at the jail.
| Visit type | Current county information |
|---|---|
| On-site video | Saturday and Sunday: 8:00-11:00 a.m., 12:00-4:00 p.m., and 5:00-8:00 p.m. |
| Free on-site allowance | The current county visitation page says each inmate receives one free on-site visit per week, per visitor. |
| Remote video | Scheduled through Reliance Telephone; fees may apply. |
| Face-to-face family visits | Not offered; personal visits use video. |
| Monitoring | Non-attorney visits may be recorded and monitored. |
On-site visits can be canceled without notice for security or operational needs. Follow dress and behavior rules, obey no-contact orders, and confirm the live schedule before driving to Monroe.
How to Put Money on an Inmate Account
Green County provides three main ways to fund an inmate account: mail, the lobby Stellar Teller kiosk and JailATM.
| Method | How it works |
|---|---|
| Money orders may be sent using the inmate’s name and Green County Jail mailing address. The county advises against mailing cash. | |
| Stellar Teller kiosk | Located inside the Sheriff’s Office lobby. It accepts cash and Visa/Mastercard. |
| JailATM | Online deposits are available through the service linked by Green County. |
The county’s dedicated Bond/Money/Jail Fees page currently lists a $3 cash-deposit kiosk fee and a 10% credit-card fee. An older county FAQ displays a different cash-kiosk fee, so check the amount shown by the kiosk or current county page before completing a transaction.
Account money can be used for approved commissary/canteen items and can also be applied to jail-related charges. The county states that sentenced Huber inmates are charged a daily jail fee of $18 per day. Medical charges and other jail debts may also be deducted from funds under county rules.
Inmate Phone Calls and Text Messaging
Green County Jail uses Reliance Telephone Systems for inmate calls and text messaging. Calls can be made collect, or phone time can be funded through Reliance.
- Calls and text messages are recorded and monitored, except protected communications handled under applicable rules.
- Jail deputies do not accept routine messages for inmates.
- A verified emergency message may be passed to an inmate when appropriate.
- Numbers can be blocked because of a court or DOC no-contact order, unpaid telephone charges, a request from the person receiving calls or other security reasons.
- Jail staff generally cannot remove a telephone-company block.
If you need to fund telephone time or remote visitation, confirm the inmate is still at Green County Jail first, then use the Green County facility page provided by Reliance.
How to Send Mail to a Green County Jail Inmate
Green County does not accept hand-delivered inmate mail. Regular correspondence must go through the U.S. Postal Service.
Inmate’s full name
Green County Jail
2827 6th Street, P.O. Box 473
Monroe, WI 53566
The sender should include a complete return address with name, street address, city, state and ZIP code. County jail rules also prohibit extra artwork or writing on the envelope and materials such as lipstick marks, perfume or strong scents.
Before mailing books or a package: do not simply send it. Green County’s jail rules require advance jail approval for packages and books. Confirm approval and current restrictions first.
Incoming mail is inspected under jail security rules. Legal/privileged mail is handled separately and should be clearly identified as privileged correspondence when applicable.
Huber Law and Work Release
Wisconsin’s Huber Law can allow an eligible sentenced county-jail inmate to leave the jail for approved purposes. Green County explains that approved activities can include employment, job seeking or training, education, medical treatment, counseling, community service, court proceedings and meetings with probation, parole or extended-supervision staff.
An approved inmate may be permitted out for up to 6 days per week and 12 hours per day, including travel time. However, a court’s recommendation does not automatically guarantee Green County work-release privileges. The Sheriff makes the final eligibility decision and jail staff must be able to verify the approved activity.
