Crawford County Jail Overview
The official Crawford County Jail page is the county source for jail contacts and links to the inmate list, visitation information, the jail FAQ, Huber work release, and jail history.
The screenshot matches the local jail subject because it shows the county's own entry point for Crawford County Jail inmate information rather than a third-party roster.
Crawford County Jail is operated by the Crawford County Sheriff's Office at the county government campus in Prairie du Chien. It serves a small rural county along the Mississippi River, so the facility should not be confused with a large metro jail or with the state prison also located in Prairie du Chien. People held here may be waiting for court, serving a short county sentence, held on a warrant or probation/parole issue, or using Huber work-release status when that privilege is approved.
The county jail is separate from Prairie du Chien Correctional Institution. The Crawford County Jail roster covers local jail custody. Sentenced adult male state prisoners at the DOC prison are searched through the Wisconsin DOC Offender Locator, not through the county inmate list. That distinction matters when a person leaves the county list after sentencing or transfer.
Crawford County Jail Capacity
Capacity and population figures come from different sources. The county jail page does not publish a rated-capacity number in the inspected material. Vera's 2026 county dataset lists Crawford County's recent rated jail capacity as 40. The official inmate list inspected July 3, 2026 showed 21 public entries. Those figures should be read as two different measures: rated beds from a dataset and a current roster snapshot from the county page.
| Measure | Figure | Source context |
|---|---|---|
| Rated jail capacity | 40 | Vera Institute 2026 county dataset for Crawford County |
| Current public roster count | 21 entries | Crawford County inmate list inspected July 3, 2026 |
| 2025 jail population value | 21.5 | Vera county CSV, 2025 row |
| 2024 jail population value | 25 | Vera county CSV, 2024 row |
Crawford County Jail Roster Lookup
The correct local lookup tool is the Crawford County inmate list. It is a public table. It did not show a last-name search field, booking-number field, date-of-birth field, or advanced search control during inspection. For a practical Crawford County Jail roster search, open the list, scan for the person's name, and use browser find on a desktop if the list is hard to read.
- Open the official Crawford County inmate list and review the current table.
- Search visually or use browser find for the person's last name.
- Read the offense, court date or time, and comments or status notes if posted.
- Call the jail at 608-326-0241 if the person is not listed or may have been released.
- Use WCCA/CCAP for formal court charges after filing, since roster offenses are custody labels.
A Crawford County Jail inmate record may show a photo for some entries, but the list is not a full booking profile. The research inspection did not find public fields for booking number, date of birth, height, weight, housing unit, booking time, or a per-charge bond table. Status comments matter in this county because notes may mention Huber, bond, probation/parole, a hold, or another custody issue.
Crawford County Jail Contact
The jail and sheriff's office share the Beaumont Road government campus. Sheriff Dale McCullick is named on the county sheriff page, and the jail page identifies Jail Administrator Heidi Stuckey for detention operations. Use the jail phone for current custody, visiting confirmation, mail or money questions, and release or bond routing before traveling.

Crawford County Jail Visits
Crawford County's visitation information is local jail guidance, not DOC prison guidance. The county page states that visits are ten minutes, that an inmate may have one visit per week, and that no more than three visitors may attend at one time. Visitors should follow clothing rules, bring identification, and avoid phone or video use during the visit because the county warns that this conduct can end the visit.
| Topic | Crawford County Jail rule found |
|---|---|
| Visit length | 10 minutes per visit |
| Frequency | One visit per week per inmate |
| Visitor count | No more than three visitors at one time |
| Phone or video use | May cause the visit to be terminated |
| Attorney visits | Handled separately from public visits in the jail FAQ |
Official sources did not provide a parking fee, transit route, or separate ADA entrance note for the jail. Visitors coming from rural Crawford County, the river communities, or the Iowa side of the Mississippi should confirm the visit before travel, especially during bad weather or county closure notices.
Crawford County Jail Mail
The jail FAQ is the local source for mail, commissary, money, phone calls, attorney visits, chaplain access, medication, and property. The FAQ confirms that newly booked inmates receive one free local phone call. It also states inmates may buy commissary items and that family or friends may provide money. The official material inspected did not name an online deposit vendor, kiosk, card fee, phone provider, or per-minute phone rate.
| Service | Local detail | Limit found in research |
|---|---|---|
| Use the jail address and inmate name, following FAQ rules. | No scan-and-destroy vendor policy located. | |
| Commissary | FAQ confirms inmates may purchase items. | No public item list or limits located. |
| Money | Family and friends may provide money. | No vendor or fee table located. |
| Phone | One free local call at booking. | No ongoing provider or rate located. |
Because no county fee schedule was found for deposits or phone service, avoid sending money through an unofficial service based on search results alone. Call the jail first and ask which payment methods are accepted, whether a kiosk is available, and what name format is required.
Crawford County Jail Booking
Booking begins when a person is arrested, transported to the jail, or committed by a court. Jail intake confirms identity, records the arresting agency and court information, searches the person, inventories property, takes fingerprints and a booking photo, screens medical and mental-health needs, checks warrants and holds, and assigns temporary housing. Public housing unit names were not located in county sources, so they should not be assumed.
- Huber
- A Wisconsin work-release privilege for eligible sentenced inmates, handled through county rules.
- Hold
- A custody block from another case, agency, warrant, probation or parole issue, or court order.
- Signature bond
- A Wisconsin release promise with conditions and an amount owed if the bond is forfeited.
The public roster may show an offense before the District Attorney files formal court charges. For filed charges, case events, and bond orders, use WCCA/CCAP or the Clerk of Circuit Court. For broader custody and records research, the Crawford County jail inmate records page explains how the local jail list connects to court and DOC searches.
Crawford County Jail Records
When the roster is too limited, the sheriff records path is the county's public-records request process. The Crawford County open-records page routes sheriff requests to NextRequest. The form metadata inspected during research showed optional fields for incident number and date of incident. Those fields are useful when asking for booking records, incident reports, or a booking photo that is not visible on the current roster.
Wisconsin Statutes section 19.35 gives access to inspect or copy public records unless an exception applies, and section 19.36 lists limits and special rules. Juvenile records, sealed records, active-investigation material, victim information, safety-sensitive details, or other restricted information may be withheld or redacted. No local fee schedule or promised turnaround time was located in the county material, so requesters should be precise and wait for the custodian's response.
Crawford County Jail Context
Crawford County's jail history and current public-safety project make the local facility more specific than a generic jail listing. The county has had older jail facilities before the modern Beaumont Road campus, and official county news describes a major project involving a new jail, sheriff's office, emergency management, and courthouse renovations. That project should be treated as an active local infrastructure matter unless a newer official source confirms completion.
Note: Confirm custody, visiting approval, and money instructions with Crawford County Jail before traveling or sending funds.
