Find Juneau County Released Inmates
Juneau County Released Inmates searches start with the sheriff's office in Mauston and then move to jail or court records only when the first answer is not enough. Sheriff Andrew F. Zobal is listed at 200 Oak Street, and the office works with third-party vendors for online arrest record access. That means Juneau County has an online trail, but not every answer lives on one page. If you already have a name or booking date, a short and focused check can usually narrow the result fast. The county and the jail are close enough together that a direct call still matters.
Juneau County Released Inmates Search Guide
The sheriff office is the first local stop because the county directory at Juneau County directory lists Sheriff Andrew F. Zobal and the office contact structure. The research places the sheriff office at 200 Oak St., Mauston, WI 53948, with the main phone number at (608) 847-5649. That gives you a real county desk to call when a Released Inmates search starts with a name, a booking date, or a release question. Juneau County does not need to be vague here. It has a clear local office.
Juneau County also collaborates with third-party vendors for online arrest record access. That helps, but it does not replace the sheriff office. Vendor pages can show a quick result, yet the office still owns the underlying jail answer. In practice, that means you can scan the online record, then confirm the details with the county if the name, date, or status looks off. That keeps a Released Inmates search in Juneau County tied to the office that actually handles the custody record.
The state DOC locator is the best follow-up when a person may have left county custody. The state image from DOC Offender Locator fits Juneau County because the county search often moves there after the first contact. If a booking turned into DOC custody or supervision, the state tool can show the next status layer without forcing you to guess where the person went.

That state page is a clean match for Juneau County because it keeps the search moving when the county record ends.
Note: Juneau County vendor pages can help with a first glance, but the sheriff office and jail administrator are still the best contacts for the latest Released Inmates status.
Juneau County Released Inmates Jail Contact
The jail administrator is Captain Colleen Beier, and the jail phone is (608) 847-9416. Her email is cbeier@co.juneau.wi.us. That contact matters because a Released Inmates search often turns into a custody question that the jail can answer faster than any outside page. If a vendor page shows a booking but not a release, the jail administrator can usually confirm whether the person is still held, already out, or moved to another status.
Juneau County's official jail records are easier to trust when you go straight to the person named in the county directory. The county has already given the public a clear office, a clear administrator, and a clear phone number. That means you do not need to guess which desk owns the file. You can ask the jail about booking time, release time, housing status, and whether the name should be checked again after a short delay.
The sheriff side and jail side work together here. Sheriff Andrew F. Zobal is the public law enforcement contact, while Captain Beier is the jail contact. That split is useful because a Released Inmates question can start as custody and end as records. If you need a quick answer, the jail desk is the better call. If you need a wider office answer, the sheriff office is the right second stop.
When you call, keep the request narrow. A full name, a date range, and any booking clue you already have will usually get a cleaner answer than a broad request. Juneau County is a small enough place that a short call can still be the best way to verify the record before you move on to state tools.
Juneau County Released Inmates Records
After the local call, the record trail usually splits into court and state checks. Wisconsin Circuit Court Access gives you the public case summary, and that is the clearest place to see whether a Juneau County booking became a criminal case. If the jail says the person was released, WCCA can still show charges, hearings, and docket movement. That matters because a Released Inmates search does not end when the person leaves custody. It often just changes shape.
The DOC locator is the next tool when the county answer suggests state custody or supervision. DOC Offender Locator can show whether the person moved into the Wisconsin corrections system, while the DOC public records requests page is the official route if you need a copied state record later. If you want guidance on phrasing a public records request, the Office of Open Government is the most useful state reference. Those tools are different, but they work well together.
Wisconsin public records law at Wis. Stat. ยง 19.35 is the legal base for inspection and copying. If you want a county topic reference before you ask, the Wisconsin State Law Library county resources page is a good check. It helps you stay on official sources and avoid a stale mirror page. That is especially useful in Juneau County because vendor pages can appear before the underlying court or jail file is updated.
VINE is also worth keeping open during the search. It gives custody notifications when a person moves, releases, or changes status. That makes it a useful follow-up if the Juneau County jail answer is not the final answer. It is a simple system, but it fills a real gap when you need to know whether the person is still in custody after the local page changes.
Released Inmates Follow-Up in Juneau County
Released Inmates follow-up in Juneau County usually means checking the county result against a state record. If the vendor page shows a booking, the jail administrator can confirm the current status. If the jail says the person is gone, WCCA can show whether the case is still active. That one-two check keeps the search honest and keeps you from relying on a stale summary page.
Juneau County is also a good example of why a search should not stop at one source. The sheriff office, the jail administrator, the vendor access pages, and the state locator each answer a different question. A person can leave custody and still have a public case. A person can also move into DOC custody and disappear from the county page. When that happens, the DOC locator and VINE are the correct next stops.
If the trail leaves the county and state systems entirely, the Federal BOP locator is the last official check. That is not the normal Juneau County path, but it is useful when a search moves beyond Wisconsin. For most cases, though, the county office and WCCA will answer the question first.
