Chippewa County Jail

Chippewa County Jail offers in-person public visits on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM–11:00 AM and 1:00 PM–4:00 PM. Professional visits run Monday–Friday during the same morning and afternoon windows. Cell phones aren't allowed inside. Video visitation requires scheduling at least 24 hours ahead, and visiting areas are handicapped accessible. Visitors under 18 generally can't visit unless they're immediate family accompanied by a documented parent or legal guardian. Kids must be supervised—disruptive children may be turned away. During public visitation hours, the jail accepts clothing donations: white items, new in the package, logo-free (socks, underwear, t-shirts, and sweatshirts without hoods). Need to travel a long distance? Special visits can be arranged with prior approval from jail management.

Inmate phone calls and video visitation at Chippewa County Jail run through CIDNET. You'll need to create an approved CIDNET account before scheduling either service, and video visits require at least 24 hours advance booking. Since communication goes through the vendor platform rather than direct dialing, plan to set up your account, register as an approved contact, and purchase any required credits or scheduling slots through the CIDNET portal. Calls and video sessions may be monitored and screened—follow vendor and facility instructions for attorney or other privileged communications. Visiting areas are handicapped accessible.

Chippewa County Jail gives you two main ways to add money to an inmate's account: the lobby ATM and the Jail ATM website. At the main lobby ATM, you can deposit funds using cash or a Visa/MasterCard/Discover card and look up the inmate by last name. Online, select Chippewa County Jail on the Jail ATM site, search by name, and pay with Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. Fees apply: cash deposits at the lobby ATM cost $4, while credit-card transactions carry a nonrefundable fee of $3.50 or 10% of the deposit (whichever is greater). You can place commissary orders through the Jail ATM website—orders ship with the next commissary delivery. Huber (work release) inmates pay $17/day, with nine days ($168) collected at reporting.

Chippewa County publishes a public inmate roster as a downloadable PDF, updated during regular business hours Monday–Friday (excluding weekends and holidays). Since updates only happen during business hours, the roster may miss recent arrests or releases—treat it as a snapshot, not an official legal record. The roster can also show people on Electronic Monitoring or marked "Housed Out of County," but those individuals aren't physically inside the jail. When searching, use the person's name (or booking number if you have it) and double-check identifiers like inmate ID, full name, and date of birth. Always check the roster's timestamp to see how current the information is. Requests to remove a name from public listings generally require official proof through the Crime Information Bureau.
