Pepin County Jail Overview
Pepin County Jail is operated by the Pepin County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's page describes the office as divided into Adult Detention Facility (Jail), Communications, Patrol, and Support Staff. Sheriff Joel Wener is listed as sheriff, Matt Roesler as chief deputy, and Lora Feuling as jail lieutenant. The jail serves local arrests from the sheriff's office, Durand Police Department, Village of Pepin Police Department, and other agencies with cases routed through Pepin County Circuit Court.
The jail is inside the sheriff and government center complex in Durand. Official county sources did not publish a building history, rated bed capacity, pod layout, accreditation status, booking hours, or a full visitation schedule. For page content, that gap matters. Pepin County Jail should not be described with third-party capacity claims or generic jail rules that the county did not publish.
The official Pepin County Jail page is sparse and does not show a roster, mugshot gallery, booking search, or commissary details. The screenshot below shows the limited nature of the official jail page.
Because the jail page is thin, current custody checks should use the jail phone, WI VINE, court records, or a sheriff records request.
Pepin County Jail Population
Official sources reviewed for Pepin County Jail did not publish a rated capacity, current count, or average daily population figure. The best local public detail appears in Buffalo-Pepin CJCC packet attachments that contain "Pepin County Jail Current Inmate List" snapshots. Those lists reveal custody fields and detention reasons on meeting dates, but they are not the same as a live bed count.
CJCC materials show that the facility may hold people for probation or parole holds, revocation, judgment of conviction, OWI, fine-payment issues, out-of-county sentences, and other case types. The same materials show Huber privileges and electronic monitoring fields, which means local custody records can include approved work release or monitored status as well as in-jail housing.
Look Up Pepin County Jail Custody
No official searchable Pepin County Jail roster was located on the county site. A practical lookup therefore uses a fallback chain. The jail phone is the current local custody source. WI VINE supplies custody status and notification support. WCCA/CCAP supplies the court case once formal charges are filed. The Wisconsin DOC locator is for sentenced prison custody and supervision, not routine local jail bookings.
- Call Pepin County Jail at 715-672-5945 for current local custody questions.
- Search WI VINE or call 1-888-944-8463 for county-jail status and notification support.
- Search WCCA/CCAP by name and Pepin County for charges, hearings, warrants, and bond conditions.
- Use Wisconsin DOC Offender Locator after a person is sentenced to DOC custody or supervision.
- Use BOP or ICE ODLS only when federal or immigration custody is involved.
Booking or incident records not available online can be requested through the sheriff's public-records process. The request should identify the person's name, the date range, and the record type sought, such as a booking record, incident report, or booking photograph.
Pepin County Jail Address
The sheriff's office publishes separate lines for jail custody, dispatch, and jail fax. Use the jail line for custody, visit, mail, or money questions. Use dispatch when the issue is law-enforcement routing rather than a jail-record copy. The records mailing address in the public-records procedure uses the same post office box.

Visit Pepin County Jail
Pepin County's official jail page does not publish an in-person visit schedule, video visitation vendor, visitor approval form, dress code, child visitor rule, or attorney visit process. Do not rely on third-party directory schedules. Call Pepin County Jail before traveling, especially because county materials note that after-hours building access may route through the jail or sheriff entrance in certain contexts.
| Item | Pepin County Jail Official Detail |
|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not published on the official jail page. |
| Video visitation | Not located in official sources reviewed. |
| Visitor approval | Not published. Call the jail for current rules. |
| Photo ID | Confirm with the jail. A government photo ID should be expected. |

Note: Confirm custody status and visit approval before travel because Pepin County does not publish a current online jail schedule.
Mail and Money at Pepin County Jail
The county jail page does not publish a separate inmate mail format, money-deposit vendor, commissary ordering system, phone provider, tablet vendor, or fee table. Use the jail phone before mailing funds, sending property, or ordering commissary. A mailed item may need the person's full name and a custody identifier, but Pepin County did not publish that format in the official sources reviewed.
| Service | Published Detail |
|---|---|
| Inmate mailing address | Not published as a separate jail-mail format. Confirm with jail staff. |
| Money deposits | Not published in official county source reviewed. |
| Commissary ordering | Not published in official county source reviewed. |
| Phone provider | Not published in official county source reviewed. |
For a person transferred to Wisconsin DOC, the rules change. DOC visiting and money pages use statewide processes, including approved visitor lists, DOC-21AA visitor questionnaires, Access Corrections, and CashPayToday. Those DOC rules do not automatically apply to Pepin County Jail.
Booking at Pepin County Jail
Pepin County does not publish a local booking-process page. A typical local booking after arrest includes identity confirmation, arresting agency notation, admission date, property inventory, safety and medical screening, records entry, and a custody decision based on warrants, charges, holds, sentence status, or court orders. Wisconsin's first-appearance rule under Wis. Stat. 970.01 requires an arrested person to be brought before a judge within a reasonable time in the proper county.
The jail-list fields in CJCC packets support that process language. They show date admitted, reason detained, arresting agency, next court date, release date, Huber privileges, education level, and electronic monitoring. They do not show a public booking number, booking photo, full demographics, exact housing unit, or a complete charge-by-charge bond table.
Programs at Pepin County Jail
Official jail program detail is not on the jail page, but 2025 CJCC materials list programs connected to jail or current-inmate materials: AA, NA, Parenting Inside Out, Jail Ministry, Love and Logic, Coping with Anger, Origami, Moving Forward, and Literacy. Use that list as CJCC-reported program context, not as a promise that every person in custody can enroll.
Community Justice Services also appears in CJCC materials. A 2024 packet reports post-charge and pre-charge service data through June 30, 2024, including active supervision and testing categories. That helps explain why some Pepin County custody records mention electronic monitoring or alternatives outside the jail building.
