Use the roster lookup above or call the jail desk listed above, giving a full name and birth date. VINELink adds free custody alerts. A name booked overnight might lag on the roster, so phone the Correctional Facility if a name has not appeared yet.

Sheriff's deputies, city officers in the county seat, state troopers, tribal officers, and federal agencies holding prisoners by contract all book people into this facility. Questions about the arrest itself go to the agency that made it; custody questions go to the jail desk.

Corrections officers at the jail take fingerprints and a photograph, list personal belongings, complete a health and suicide-risk screening, look for detainers from other jurisdictions, and assign a housing unit. Intake on Court Street may stretch past midnight when several arrests arrive together.

Call the Sheriff's Office at 906-635-6355; deputies can say whether a warrant is open, and jail staff can confirm whether the person is already in custody.

MiCOURT shows 91st District and 50th Circuit charges and hearing dates, though it does not confirm whether a bench warrant is active.

To resolve one, walk into the jail at 325 Court Street and surrender in the company of your lawyer, or phone the court clerk and request another hearing date. The 91st District Court clerk is 906-635-6320; the 50th Circuit Court clerk is 906-635-6338.

Bond is fixed at the first hearing by the 91st District Court, while a handful of minor offenses have a preset schedule figure. Each bond type is explained on our bail page.

The 91st District Court shares the 325 Court Street building with the jail, and the 50th Circuit Court sits at 319 Court Street next door. A felony is bound over from the District bench to the Circuit bench once probable cause is found at the exam; our court process guide walks through the steps.

Ask the jail desk which payment methods are accepted right now. Account balances pay for commissary items and phone time; see our money guide and commissary page.

Visiting rules, hours and registration change, so call the jail desk before travelling and confirm the person is eligible. Our visitation guide covers what to bring, dress expectations and ID rules.

Calls from the Court Street jail go through a prepaid account described in our phone guide; electronic messaging, where offered, is in our messaging guide, and letters follow our mail guide.

Booking photos are requested from the Sheriff's Office under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act; call 906-635-6355 for the process. Records about an ICE detainee are held by ICE and come only through ICE's FOIA office.

Search VINELink for the Chippewa record, then register a phone number or email address. The service is free and reports a release, a transfer, or a return to the Court Street jail.

The first appearance on the 91st District bench normally happens by the next court day, frequently over a video link from Court Street. That hearing covers the charge, a request for appointed counsel, and bond conditions; relatives may attend.

Confirm the booking with the Sheriff's jail desk, note the offense, the bail amount and the next hearing, then retain an attorney. Urgent prescriptions should be reported to jail staff, and nobody should talk about the facts of the case over the monitored phones.

Release from the Court Street jail usually follows within a few hours of a posted bond or signed court order. Plan transportation ahead, since winter weather in the Upper Peninsula can make travel slow.

At the International Bridge plaza in Sault Ste. Marie, Customs and Border Protection officers may detain travellers for federal or immigration matters. Those cases follow federal rules, not the county's, though a person may be lodged at the Court Street jail under contract; ask the jail desk.

No. Anyone under 18 is handled by the 50th Circuit Court's Family Division and placed in juvenile settings, not the adult jail.
