How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
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.

Need to reach someone at Rock County Jail? Start with the 24-hour operations line, then use the administrative and records numbers for more specific requests. Here are the fastest ways to get to the right office, plus what to confirm before you rely on any contact method.
Need to pick up or drop off paperwork in person? The Rock County Sheriff's Office front office is where you'll go during weekday business hours.
Rock County Sheriff's Office handles requests for a wide range of records, including jail records, incident reports, arrest reports, accident reports, citations, photos, and recorded media like body camera or dash camera footage. One exception: if you need 911 audio, that goes through the Rock County 911 Communications Center—not the Sheriff's Office. Wisconsin's Public Records Law gives you flexibility here. You can make your request verbally or in writing. The main requirement is that it's "reasonably specific" about what you want and the time period involved, so staff can actually find the records.
