How to Read Outagamie County Jail's 'Current Inmate List' PDF
Outagamie County Corrections publishes a multi-page "Current Inmate List, by Name" PDF. If you're trying to make sense of what you're looking at, think of it as a simple roster with the same set of columns repeated for each person.
Outagamie County Corrections publishes a "Current Inmate List, by Name" PDF. The roster uses consistent columns with these headers: InmateID, Name, Sex, Race, Time Incarcerated, Location, and Classif.
At the top of the PDF, you'll see a generated timestamp (a date and time) showing when the list was produced. That same timestamp appears on every page, along with the page header and page numbering (for example, "Page 2 of 10"). This tells you whether you're looking at a complete list and how current it is.
Each line in the roster is one person, and every row uses the same fields: an InmateID number, the person's name, a single-letter Sex code, a single-letter Race code, a Time Incarcerated value (shown as a time and a date), a Location entry, and a short Classif code.
Sex and Race are both compact, single-letter codes. In the Race column, you'll see entries like W, B, and U, each printed as a one-letter value next to the person's Sex code.
"Time Incarcerated" is printed as a time followed by a separate date. The time uses HH:MM:SS format (like 15:41:15), and the date uses MM/DD/YY format (like 02/19/25).
The Location column is where things start to look more "coded." Some entries use internal location strings starting with labels like JAIL-4TH-4E- or JAIL-5TH-5A-, and you may also see dorm labels such as DORM 1 or DORM 2. Other entries begin with OUT-, including examples like OUT-GPS-GPS- GPS and OUT-DRC-DRC- DRC, exactly as printed in the PDF.
At the far right, the Classif column shows a short classification code. You'll see codes like MED4, MIN8, MIN7, MED3, and MAX2. Even when the Location field shows an OUT- entry (like OUT-GPS or OUT-DRC), the row still includes a Classif code. Read those two fields together as a single line of roster information.
To interpret the Time Incarcerated value, read it as two parts in a fixed format: time first, then date. One line might show 15:41:15 02/19/25, while another reads 03:55:08 01/10/26. The time is printed HH:MM:SS, and the date is printed MM/DD/YY.
Note: The generated timestamp is the "as of" marker for the roster. Because the same timestamp repeats on every page, you can confirm all pages came from the same run of the report.
- Start with the ID and name - The line begins with the InmateID, followed by the person’s name (for example: “1032199 ABRESCH, ERIC CHRISTOPHER”).
- Read the Sex and Race letters - Next you will see a one-letter Sex code and a one-letter Race code (for example: “M W”).
- Decode Time Incarcerated as time then date - The next two values are the time and date (for example: “15:41:15 02/19/25”).
- Finish with Location and Classif - The remaining fields show Location and the short Classif code (for example: “JAIL-4TH-4E- 4E8 MED4”).
- Spot an OUT-GPS row - Some lines show “OUT-GPS-GPS- GPS” in the Location field, with a Classif code at the end (for example: “MIN8”).
- Spot an OUT-DRC row - Other lines show “OUT-DRC-DRC- DRC” in the Location field, also paired with a Classif code (for example: “MIN7”).
Note: This PDF is a roster-style list. The information for each person is limited to the fields in the header: InmateID, Name, Sex, Race, Time Incarcerated, Location, and Classif.
