Door County Jail Overview

Door County Jail is operated by the Door County Sheriff's Office. The official facility address is 1201 S Duluth Avenue, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235, and the main jail phone number is 920-746-2400. The jail is the county's named detention facility for adults arrested in Door County, pretrial detainees, people held for first appearance or bond, local sentenced inmates, Huber/work-release participants, and short-term holds before transfer.

Official sources reviewed did not identify a separate Door County work-release building, regional jail, state prison, federal BOP facility, or ICE detention center inside Door County. Municipal police agencies may hold a person briefly during processing, but ongoing custody routes to the Door County Jail unless the person is released or transferred. Sentenced state-prison custody moves to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, not this jail.

Door County Jail Capacity

The official jail page states that Door County Jail has 109 total beds, with 60 secure jail beds and 49 Huber beds. The Sheriff's Office 2025 Annual Report also describes the jail as a 143-bed direct-supervision facility with an operational capacity of 109 inmates. Use 109 as the operational capacity for population comparisons, while noting the separate design-capacity wording.

Door County Jail Inmate Lookup

No official live Door County Jail roster was found in the sheriff pages reviewed. For current custody, call the jail or contact the Sheriff's Office. For filed charges, use WCCA/CCAP. For state-prison custody, use WIDOC. For notification, use VINELink if Door County or Wisconsin coverage applies. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE only when the case fits those systems.

1. Check the official Door County Jail page for current contact and custody-service links.
2. Call 920-746-2400 with the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, and booking date or arresting agency if known.
3. Ask how to request booking records, jail logs, or a booking photo if phone disclosure is limited.
4. Search WCCA/CCAP for filed Door County charges and court events.
5. Search WIDOC, BOP, or ICE when custody has moved out of the county jail.

Door County Jail Address

The facility is in Sturgeon Bay, the Door County seat. Official sources did not publish visitor parking rates, public transit details, or an exact public-entrance map. Visitors should call before arrival if they need accessible entry directions, visit confirmation, parking guidance, or professional-visit instructions.

The Jail Information hub routes to Huber, bond, electronic monitoring, confinement, annual report, and other jail-service pages. That hub is often more useful than a single page because Door County does not publish a live roster in the official sources reviewed.

Door County Jail Visits

The jail page publishes visitation information and should be treated as the controlling source for current windows. Schedules can change for staffing, lockdowns, holidays, weather, emergencies, or rule violations. Visitors should bring government-issued photo identification and should not bring contraband, weapons, recording devices, or unnecessary property into the secure facility.

Door County Jail Mail and Money

Mail should be addressed to the inmate's full legal name at Door County Jail, 1201 S Duluth Avenue, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235. Do not send contraband, drugs, weapons, cash, personal checks, disallowed photos, packages, staples, or explicit material. Legal mail is generally handled under separate rules and should be confirmed with jail staff.

The Door County Jail page screenshot shows the local custody-service information that controls mail, deposits, commissary, and phone-service routing.

The page is operational, not a live inmate roster, so current custody still has to be confirmed through the jail or records process.

Door County Jail Booking

Booking at Door County Jail generally includes identity verification, search, property inventory, booking information, fingerprints, photographs, medical and mental-health screening, and initial housing or classification. Wisconsin jail standards require safe confinement practices, but the official public sources reviewed did not publish a detailed Door County intake manual, property-release form, or housing-unit map.

After booking, Wisconsin initial appearance rules connect the jail process to court. The practical sequence is arrest, booking, prosecutor review, first appearance, bond or release conditions, and later hearings if a criminal complaint is filed. The jail custody record and the WCCA court record should be read together because they answer different questions.

Door County Huber Custody

Huber is a major Door County facility detail. The jail has 49 Huber beds, and the annual report lists an average of 24 Huber inmates in 2025. Huber allows eligible inmates with court authorization to maintain approved work or programming while returning to custody under jail rules. It is still custody, but it is not the same as ordinary secure housing.

Door County also publishes electronic monitoring and confinement pages. These programs and reporting rules affect how local sentences are served and can change how many people are physically inside the secure jail on a given day. They should not be confused with state DOC prison supervision after sentencing.

Door County Jail Transfers

When a Door County defendant is sentenced to Wisconsin state prison, the person leaves the Door County Jail population and enters the WIDOC system. Family and records searches should then switch to DOC visitation, mail, money, and offender-locator rules. Federal pretrial detainees or sentenced federal prisoners follow U.S. Marshals and BOP channels. Immigration detainees use ICE's locator if they meet publication rules.
