How to Read Outagamie County's 'Current Inmate List' — what each column means

Outagamie County’s “Current Inmate List, by Name” is a roster-style PDF that displays people listed in the system in a table format. Across the top, you’ll see columns such as “InmateID” and “Name,” which are the two fields most people start with when they’re trying to confirm they’ve found the right person.

The PDF is generated with a timestamp printed near the top (so you can tell when that snapshot was produced). It’s also a multi-page document with page numbering (for example, “Page 2 of 10”), which matters if you’re scanning by last name and want to make sure you didn’t stop halfway through.

The “InmateID” column is a numeric identifier assigned to the person in the roster. Right next to it, “Name” appears in a last-name-first format and may include a middle name - for example: “ABRESCH, ERIC CHRISTOPHER” or “ANNIS, TANYA MARIE.” If you’re comparing two people with similar names, the InmateID is the cleanest way to tell entries apart on the list.

The “Sex” column is shown as a single letter. On the roster you’ll see entries like “M” and “F,” placed between the name and race fields in each row.

The “Race” column is also shown as a single-letter code. For example, one entry shows “B” in the Race column (and others show different single-letter values).

“Time Incarcerated” is displayed as a time-of-day followed by a date, using a format like “15:41:15 02/19/25.” When you’re reading a row, treat this as a timestamp-style field: first the time (HH:MM:SS), then the date (MM/DD/YY) as it appears in the PDF.

The “Location” column is where the roster starts to look code-heavy. Many entries show internal housing-style labels such as “JAIL-4TH-4E- 4E8,” which read like a building/level/unit/bed style code. You may also see “OUT-GPS-GPS- GPS” listed as the location, and some entries show “OUT-DRC-DRC- DRC.” In other cases, the location field includes dorm wording like “DORM 1” or “DORM 2” as part of the location line.

The “Classif” column contains short classification-style codes. On the roster you’ll see values such as “MED4,” “MAX2,” and “MIN8,” and there are multiple “MIN” variations shown (including “MIN7,” “MIN8,” and “MIN9”). The PDF displays these codes as-is; it doesn’t explain what each level means.

Before you rely on anything in the roster, check the generated timestamp at the top of the PDF. One example timestamp shown is “01/27/26 21:00:03.” If you’re comparing the list to information you got earlier in the day, that timestamp tells you how recent the PDF snapshot is.

Also look at the page numbering (for example, “Page 2 of 10”). It’s an easy way to confirm you’re viewing the full list - especially if you’re searching visually and might miss a name that appears further down in the alphabet on later pages.

1. Find the person by ID and name - A row may start with an InmateID like “1032199,” followed by a name such as “ABRESCH, ERIC CHRISTOPHER.”
2. Read the time-and-date field - In “Time Incarcerated,” you might see a value like “15:41:15 02/19/25,” with the time first and the date second.
3. Check where the roster places them - Under “Location,” that same row can show an internal housing code such as “JAIL-4TH-4E- 4E8.”
4. Note the classification code exactly as written - In “Classif,” you might see a code like “MED4.”

1. Confirm the entry header fields - The row will still start with an InmateID number and the person’s name.
2. Read the Time Incarcerated format - You’ll see a time plus date (for example, “08:00:09 08/26/25”).
3. Watch for “OUT-” locations - Some entries list “OUT-GPS-GPS- GPS” in the Location column.
4. Look at the “MIN” classifications - The Classif field can show “MIN” codes such as “MIN8” (and other entries show “MIN7” and “MIN9”).

• ✓ Check the generated timestamp at the top (example shown: “01/27/26 21:00:03”) before relying on what you see.
• ✓ Use the page numbering (example shown: “Page 2 of 10”) to make sure you’re looking at the full list.
• ✓ If you need to make a decision based on the roster (visiting, planning a call, etc.), contact the facility to confirm the person’s current status.
