How to Read Outagamie County Jail's 'Current Inmate List, by Name' PDF
Trying to confirm whether someone is in custody? Outagamie County Corrections publishes a multi-page PDF roster called "Current Inmate List, by Name." Once you know what each column means, you can read any row and understand exactly what the jail is showing in that snapshot.
The PDF is laid out like a spreadsheet. Each page uses the same column headers across the top: InmateID, Name, Sex, Race, Time Incarcerated, Location, and Classif. You'll also notice a printed timestamp line (for example, "rpjlcil.x2 01/27/26 21:00:03"). That's your clue the roster is system-generated at a specific moment, not manually typed out.
That timestamp isn't just on the first page. It repeats on every page of the PDF, so even if you're looking at Page 2 or later, you can still tell exactly when the entire list was produced.
Every row follows the same pattern. Starting from the left: InmateID and Name, then Sex and Race. After that comes Time Incarcerated (a time and date), Location (an internal housing or placement code), and finally Classif (a short classification code).
The InmateID is a numeric identifier (for example, 1032199). Names are printed last name first, followed by a comma, then given names (for example, "ABRESCH, ERIC CHRISTOPHER"). That last-name-first format is why the PDF is labeled "by Name." It's organized for scanning by surname.
Sex is shown as a single letter. You'll commonly see "M" or "F," and some entries may show "U." Race is also a single-letter code (for example, "W" or "B") printed right next to Sex, so the two fields are easy to read together in the middle of the row.
Time Incarcerated appears as two parts: a time in hh:mm:ss format and a date in MM/DD/YY format. In the PDF, it looks like "15:41:15 02/19/25" or "10:51:27 12/18/25," with the time listed before the date.
Location is an internal placement field shown as a string of codes. You might see entries like "JAIL-4TH-4E-" or "OUT-DRC-DRC-," often followed by a smaller unit identifier (for example, "4E8" after "JAIL-4TH-4E-"). Some rows also include a dorm label such as "DORM 1" or "DORM 2."
The last column, Classif, is a short code describing classification or custody status. On the roster you'll see codes like MED4, MIN8, MAX2, and MED3. The PDF shows the code but doesn't explain what it means, so treat it as an internal label unless staff tells you otherwise.
If you're trying to figure out "how long have they been there," the Time Incarcerated column is your starting point. Each entry includes a specific time and date (hh:mm:ss plus MM/DD/YY) in the same cell. Read it as it appears on the page: time first, then the date.
Tip: Check the generated timestamp printed on the PDF (for example, "rpjlcil.x2 01/27/26 21:00:03"). It appears on each page and tells you when the list was produced.
Here's what a full row looks like when you put the pieces together. One entry reads: "1020651 APPLETON, CAROL JEAN … JAIL-5TH-5A- 5A3 MAX2." From that single line, you can pick out the numeric InmateID (1020651), the name format (APPLETON, CAROL JEAN), the Location string (JAIL-5TH-5A- 5A3), and the Classif code at the end (MAX2).
Some entries include a dorm identifier inside the Location field. For example: "3354006 BROWN, ANGEL RAE … JAIL-5TH-5F- 5F DORM 2 MED4," where "DORM 2" appears as part of the location information before the classification code. Classif codes like MAX2 are custody or classification labels the jail uses internally.
Note: The PDF does not include a legend defining what each Location or Classif code means. If you need to act on what you see (mail, visitation, release questions), verify any unclear codes directly with Outagamie County Corrections.
