Health Care Services

Racine County contracts with a healthcare company to provide a variety of health care services which include medical care, dental care, and psychological care from licensed professionals within our facility.  We have nursing staff on site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Doctor, dentist, and nurse visits are given for a nominal fee.

Inmates have access to their prescription medications and can purchase over the counter medications through the commissary system. Family members and friends can drop off medications at the 24 hour lobby of the jail directly off 8^th street. The jail only accepts valid, non-expired prescriptions.  Please remember, just because you drop off a valid prescription for the inmate does mean that the inmate will receive that prescription. All prescriptions must be approved by the jail doctor.

Over the counter medications are not allowed to be dropped off.  These include any medications or supplements not prescribed by a doctor.  Inmates can purchase over the counter medications through the commissary system.

Family members and friends can drop off prescription glasses at the 24 hour lobby of the jail directly off 8^th street. Glasses must accompany a written prescription.  For recent mothers, breast pumps are allowed to be dropped for inmate use.  CPAP and Oxygen machines may also be dropped off by family members including the distilled water for their use.

Medical Release of Information

Wheaton Medical Release of Information

Due to patient confidentiality and HIPAA regulations, we are unable to answer medical questions and concerns over the phone for specific inmates.  We do accept healthcare information you may be able to provide us about a person in our care.  This information is often valuable for our healthcare staff to follow-up on.  The inmate must sign a HIPAA Release of Information Form before any information can be given out in writing.
