Understanding the Chippewa County Jail inmate roster: what categories mean and how often it's updated
If you're checking the Chippewa County Jail inmate roster and something doesn't add up—someone's listed but you can't visit, or a recent change isn't showing—there's usually a simple explanation. Here's how the roster works and what those categories actually mean.
The public inmate roster updates Monday through Friday during business hours. No updates on weekends or holidays.
Think of the roster as a snapshot - it reflects what was true when it was posted. If someone gets booked or released after that, the change won't appear until the next update. That's why there can be a gap between what's happening in real time and what you see online.
Electronic Monitoring: These individuals are being monitored by Chippewa County but aren't physically in the jail.
Housed Out of County: This means the person isn't physically at Chippewa County Jail - they're being held elsewhere.
Boarders: These are people housed at Chippewa County Jail on behalf of another agency.
- Check whether the change happened after posting - bookings and releases that occur after the roster is posted won’t be reflected on that posted report.
- Look for a category label - labels like Electronic Monitoring or Housed Out of County can explain why someone appears on the roster but isn’t physically in the jail.
- Confirm directly with the jail - when timing and categories don’t explain what you’re seeing, the fastest way to clear it up is to contact the jail.
- ✓ Call the Jail Administrator for more information about the jail or programming: 715-726-7704
- ✓ If you’re calling about a roster discrepancy, have the person’s full name ready and be prepared for the possibility that a recent change hasn’t reached the posted roster yet
