Starting a Sentence at Waupaca County Jail: Fees, Scheduling, and What to Bring
Starting a jail sentence is stressful enough without surprises at the door. This guide covers how to set your start date, handle required fees, and show up with the right paperwork and clothing for Waupaca County Jail.
Before you can begin a sentence at Waupaca County Jail, you need to schedule your start date with a Corrections Sergeant at the Waupaca County Law Enforcement Center. This locks in when you're expected to report - don't assume you can just show up on a date you picked yourself.
Scheduling happens Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the front lobby of the Waupaca County Law Enforcement Center. If you're helping a family member get organized, nail down this appointment first - everything else flows from there.
Everyone booked into Waupaca County Jail pays a $25 booking fee. It's required under County Ordinance 6.0, so plan for it as a standard cost.
Serving time with Huber Law privileges (work release)? There's also a $140 weekly Huber fee. You'll need to pay it before any work release is granted - no payment, no leaving for work.
Prestart Paperwork
- ✓ Submit your work schedule one week before starting your sentence
- ✓ Submit driver information one week before starting your sentence: valid driver’s license, proof of registration, and proof of insurance
Coming in as a Huber inmate? You can bring three sets of clothing, a jacket, and one pair of shoes. Stick to that limit - anything extra may be turned away at intake.
For most people starting a sentence, the jail issues clothing after booking. The facility won't accept new clothing packages or clothing transferred from another county, so don't plan on dropping off a bag to help someone get started.
