Topic Overviews

Visitation

Shawano County Jail offers both in-person visits and video visits through kiosk or third-party systems. Most visits require advance scheduling and approval. Before scheduling, the person you're visiting typically needs to add you to their approved visitor list—you may also need to complete an online registration or visitor questionnaire. Bring a valid photo ID that meets the jail's requirements, and plan for security screening (metal detectors, X-ray, or wand searches). Need an accommodation for a disability or medical device? Contact county staff ahead of time. County offices are open Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., and the Equal Opportunity Coordinator is Brent Miller.

Communication

To reach Shawano County Jail directly, call the main line at (715) 526-7950. Mailing details and other county contact information are listed in the site footer. Phone calls, video visits, and tablet-based messaging are typically handled through third-party vendors rather than the county itself. To get started, create a vendor account, enter your information exactly as required, then schedule video visits or purchase call credits through the vendor portal. Keep in mind that routine calls and electronic messages are commonly monitored—attorney communications use separate verification steps for privacy. Wisconsin is also rolling out a statewide video/tablet platform, so vendors and processes may change during the transition.
