Felmers Chaney Center Overview
Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center is a Wisconsin DOC/Wisconsin Correctional Center System facility at 2825 N. 30th Street in Milwaukee. Research identifies it as an adult correctional center with an operating capacity of 100 and a population of adult male DOC persons in care. It is not a county jail, even though it is physically located in Milwaukee County.
The facility's role should be understood in the state correctional center system. A person housed there has moved into DOC custody or DOC care, so the county jail roster is not the right current-custody search. Milwaukee County Jail Records can help with separate Milwaukee County jail history, booking photos, or Sheriff records, but those records do not replace DOC custody records. The correct public search path is the Wisconsin DOC Offender Locator, followed by DOC facility notices for visits, mail, money, and property.
Felmers Chaney DOC Lookup
Use the Wisconsin DOC Offender Locator for a person believed to be housed at Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center. DOC states that the locator covers convicted offenders sentenced to incarceration, supervision, or both with DOC. The public entry page uses reCAPTCHA and an agreement button before search. Research could not capture the post-reCAPTCHA field labels, so exact live search fields should be verified in the locator itself.
- Open the Wisconsin DOC Offender Locator.
- Complete the reCAPTCHA and agree to the DOC notices.
- Search with the identity details available in the current DOC form.
- Confirm whether the public location or status points to Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center.
The official DOC Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center page is the matched local image source.
The DOC source image supports the facility-specific facts and keeps the lookup path separate from Milwaukee County's jail roster.
Note: A county jail search is not a current DOC search for Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center custody.
Felmers Chaney Address
The official material used for this page provided the street address and capacity, but it did not list a facility phone number. For current facility contact details, use the DOC facility page and current DOC directory material. For an old Milwaukee County booking, contact the Milwaukee County Jail Records Office or MCSO Public Records, but do not expect those county offices to confirm current DOC custody at Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center.

DOC visitor approval generally includes visitor questionnaire DOC-21AA, approved visitor lists, and photo ID for visitors age 16 and older. A detailed Felmers Chaney visiting schedule was not listed in the official material reviewed, so current visiting days and times should be confirmed through the DOC facility page before any travel.
| Visit Topic | Research-Based Detail | Confirm Before Travel |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | DOC visitor approval applies. | Approved list and questionnaire status. |
| Identification | Photo ID required for visitors 16+. | Current acceptable ID policy. |

Felmers Chaney Mail and Money
Money for DOC facilities can be sent through Access Secure Deposits by mail to Secure Deposits - Wisconsin DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132, or through Access Corrections. The county CRC and county jail also use Access Corrections for some deposit paths, but that overlap does not make the systems the same. Use the Wisconsin DOC deposit option and the person's DOC identity information for Felmers Chaney custody.
Mail rules should be checked through DOC before sending letters, publications, photos, or money-related items. Use the facility address and DOC mail format required for the person in care. Because the research did not capture a separate Felmers Chaney mail schedule or facility-specific mail wording, statewide DOC mail rules and current facility notices should control.
| Service | Felmers Chaney DOC Detail |

| Money deposits | Access Secure Deposits or Access Corrections for Wisconsin DOC. |
| Deposit mail | Secure Deposits - Wisconsin DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132. |
| Use the DOC facility address and current person-identification format. | |
| Phone | Follow Wisconsin DOC and facility-specific phone rules. |
Felmers Chaney Custody Status
Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center houses adult male DOC persons in care. That phrase matters because DOC custody and county jail custody answer different legal and practical questions. A county jail booking may relate to an arrest, court date, bond, or temporary hold. A DOC correctional-center placement relates to state custody, sentence, supervision, or DOC placement after court action or DOC classification.
For a person with recent Milwaukee County involvement, use the right sequence. Search the county locator for current county jail custody. Search WCCA for case events and filed charges. Search DOC for current DOC status or placement. Use VINELink for notifications when available. Each tool is valid within its own scope, but none should be stretched beyond the records it maintains.
About Felmers Chaney Records
The useful local facts for Felmers O. Chaney Correctional Center are its DOC operator, male adult population, 100 operating capacity, Milwaukee address, and DOC locator routing. The research did not capture a phone number, a facility-specific visiting schedule, or a facility-specific mail address format beyond the DOC facility address. Those gaps should be handled by saying what is known and routing live decisions to current DOC material.
Because Milwaukee County has several custody systems in a small geographic area, readers often confuse Felmers Chaney with the county jail or CRC. The address may be local, but the custody authority is state DOC. That is the key fact for searches, visits, mail, and money.
Public-record routing also changes with custody type. A Milwaukee County Sheriff's public-records request may be the right route for a booking photo, incident report, or old jail record. It is not the right route for a live DOC institution placement. A court record in WCCA can show the case history, but DOC is still the agency that maintains current correctional-center custody and supervision information.
For notifications, Wisconsin VINE and DOC NOTIS may be useful in the roles described by DOC, but they do not replace the DOC locator or the facility's current rules.
That same separation applies to deposits and mail. A family member should not send funds using a county jail account path if the person is in Felmers Chaney DOC custody. The operating agency controls the account, visit approval, and correspondence rules.
