Communication
For general questions about an inmate or facility procedures, call the Shawano County Jail main line at (715) 526-7950. Routine communication with someone in custody (phone calls, video visits, email, or tablet messaging) goes through third-party vendors and is monitored. You can't receive direct incoming calls from an inmate. They must place outgoing calls and use the vendor platform for messages or video visits. To get connected, create a vendor account, make sure you're on the approved visitor or recipient list, then schedule sessions or purchase credits through the vendor site. Wisconsin is rolling out a statewide platform for video and tablet messaging, so vendor names and steps may change during the transition.
