Which system is holding them?
There is no single search that covers everyone in Trempealeau County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.
If the arrest was recent
Start with the county jail
A recent arrest in Trempealeau County almost always means the county jail listed above, run by the local sheriff — not a state prison. Check that jail’s roster or search VINELink; if the booking is only a few hours old, call the jail’s booking desk.
If they were sentenced to prison
Use the state prison locator
Once a person is sentenced, they move from the county jail into the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Search the state inmate locator by name or ID — a county jail roster will not show a sentenced prisoner.
If the charge is federal
Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons
A federal charge means federal custody — a separate system from any Wisconsin county or state facility. Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator by name or register number.

The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.

Two companion guides pick up where this one leaves off — checking for a warrant, and resolving it on your own terms.
