How to Contact an Inmate at Sheboygan County Detention Center, WI (WI)

Every visitor at Sheboygan County Detention Center must be registered through Securus before visiting, including for on-site visits. This requirement has been in effect since 12/05/22. All visits are recorded and subject to electronic monitoring by the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office. The exception: approved attorneys and other approved professionals, whose visits may not be recorded.

Visitor limits can trip up families, especially when kids are involved. For on-site visits, the facility allows no more than 2 adults and 1 child under 18, or 1 adult and 2 children, per 20-minute session.

Dress like you're going to an appointment, not the gym or the beach. The detention center requires conservative, respectable attire. Anything considered provocative or too revealing can be restricted at the officer's discretion, and that can mean your visit gets denied. Clothing depicting drugs, drug paraphernalia, or gang activity can also cause problems. If you're visiting in a professional role (attorney, probation or parole officer, counselor, social worker, teacher, psychiatrist, or PhD), bring proper ID, register, and wear the visitor's pass so it's visible at all times. Professional visitors may visit at any time except during the facility's meal and headcount times.

1. Register with Securus before you try to visit: Sheboygan County Detention Center requires registration even for on-site visits.
2. If you are a professional visitor, bring the right ID and be ready to show it: Professional visitors must bring proper identification and register.
3. Wear your visitor pass where staff can see it: If you are issued a visitor’s pass, it must be visible at all times.

• ✓ Assume your visit will be recorded and electronically monitored (approved attorneys and other approved professionals may not be recorded).
• ✓ Keep the on-site group within the per-session limit: either 2 adults and 1 child under 18, or 1 adult and 2 children, per 20-minute session.
• ✓ Make sure no more than 2 guests are in view for each 20-minute visiting session.
• ✓ Follow the conservative dress code. Clothing that is too revealing, provocative, or depicts drugs, drug paraphernalia, or gang activity can result in a denied visit.

1. Call to schedule: Call 920-459-1301 Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:00pm.
2. Ask for the Receptionist and book in advance: You must speak with the Receptionist to schedule, and ministry visits must be set at least one day ahead.
3. Plan for a 30-minute visit: Ministry visits are allowed to last 30 minutes.

Before making plans, confirm that Securus registration is still required for all visits, including on-site visits, since the posted effective date is 12/05/22. If you're an attorney or another approved professional who may be exempt from recording, ask how recording and electronic monitoring are currently being handled.

Rules that determine whether you get admitted are worth double-checking right before you go. Verify the current 20-minute session limits (how many adults and children are allowed for on-site visits, plus the rule about no more than two guests in view) and how strictly the dress code is being enforced. If you're visiting in a professional capacity, confirm check-in expectations (ID, registration, visible visitor pass) and the meal or headcount times when professional visits aren't allowed. For ministry visits, confirm the scheduling process and hours at 920-459-1301.
