How to Contact an Inmate at Kenosha Pretrial Facility (WI)
Want to stay in touch with someone at Kenosha County Pretrial Facility? Focus on three basics: getting mail addressed correctly, setting up phone funding, and putting money on the right type of account.
To send mail to someone in the Kenosha County Pretrial Facility, the envelope needs the inmate’s full name and inmate number. Send it to: Kenosha County Pretrial Facility, 1000 55th St, Kenosha, WI 53140. If you do not know the inmate number, include the first and last name at minimum so staff can route it correctly.
You can add money to an account 24/7 through ConnectNetwork (select Kenosha County WI, SiteID 202) or by calling 888-428-1845. You'll need the inmate's first and last name or ID number, plus a credit or debit card. Online deposits include a convenience fee that's deducted from your deposit amount. Pin Debit deposits are limited to $4 to $50 per transaction.
Pin Debit funds let an inmate make phone calls and pay for tablet services. Inside the facility, inmates can move money from their Trust account to Pin Debit, but not the other way around. Any unused funds get returned when they're released.
Tip: AdvancePay is a prepaid collect-calling account. When you fund it, the inmate can place collect calls to the phone number linked to that account. You can set up multiple AdvancePay accounts if you want calls going to different numbers or you're dealing with more than one facility.

One detail that trips people up: inmates can transfer money from Trust to Pin Debit, but not the other way around. Any leftover funds get returned to the inmate at release.
Before depositing, confirm that ConnectNetwork still uses Kenosha County WI (SiteID 202) and that 888-428-1845 is the current deposit line. Check the current convenience fee and whether Pin Debit transactions are still limited to $4 to $50.
Phone access typically works through either Pin Debit funding or an AdvancePay account tied to a phone number. Not sure which option applies? Verify before adding money, especially if you're trying to route calls to a specific number through AdvancePay.
Check the current mail rules with the facility, including what's allowed inside envelopes and whether the addressing format (full name plus inmate number) has changed. Getting the format right helps avoid delays or rejected mail.
If you're depositing with a specific purpose in mind, ask about current transfer rules between Trust and Pin Debit so you know where funds can and cannot move. Also confirm how unused funds are returned at release.
