Rock County Jail, WI

Start by confirming current visitation procedures through Rock County Jail's administrative office or its 24-hour operations contact. Nearly all visit types, including in-person and video, require scheduling and prior approval. Before you try to schedule, find out whether you need to be added to an approved visitor list and complete any required forms or registration. On the day of your visit, bring an accepted photo ID and be ready for standard security screening. If you're also looking for Project Lifesaver paperwork, enrollment materials and program contracts are available for pickup at the Community Corrections entrance Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Rock County Jail lists Correctional Services Captains Nicholas Brown and Christopher Krahn as facility contacts, with Deputy Anthony Barr serving as the Project Lifesaver liaison. For inmate or jail records (including recordings), call the jail's designated records request phone line. Audio or video requests may require redaction, and the office may charge redaction costs under Wisconsin's 2023 Act 253, though some exemptions apply. Day-to-day communication with inmates, including phone calls, video visits, tablet messaging, and email, typically runs through third-party vendors. All communications are screened or monitored. Inmates generally cannot receive incoming calls directly. Instead, they place calls to approved numbers. To connect, you'll usually need to set up a vendor account and get approved before scheduling or adding funds.

Specific deposit instructions for Rock County Jail were not available in the sources reviewed, so this section covers the most common options used across Wisconsin jails. At many facilities, you can add funds through a third-party online portal, by phone, at a lobby kiosk, at walk-in vendor locations, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check. Money deposited to an inmate account is typically used for commissary and other approved charges. The jail may apply some funds to outstanding debts or fees before the inmate can spend the balance. Posting times vary. Personal checks can be held, while electronic and kiosk deposits are often faster but may include vendor fees. Have the inmate's full name and ID ready, plus any vendor-required details.
