Contacts

Official Houghton County Custody Contacts

For local jail custody, start with the Houghton County Sheriff's Office. The same address serves the sheriff's public office and the Houghton County Corrections Facility.

The Houghton County Corrections Facility operates 24 hours per day, but non-emergency public office contact and records routing should be planned around posted office hours unless jail staff instruct otherwise.

Use the route below that matches what you need.

• For a current county jail custody question, see jail inmate records and call the Sheriff's Office if no online roster answers the question.
• For booking photos or photo availability, use jail roster mugshots and request unpublished records through the Sheriff's Office when appropriate.
• For charges, hearings, or case status after filing, use court records after a jail arrest and Michigan MiCOURT.
• For facility-specific details, use the Houghton County Corrections Facility and Houghton County Work Camp pages linked in the footer.
• For a sentenced Michigan prisoner or supervised offender, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS locator rather than the county jail.
• For federal sentenced custody or immigration detention, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.

Written public-record requests to the Sheriff's Office may be handled under Michigan FOIA, MCL 15.231 et seq. Fees are addressed in MCL 15.234, and exemptions or redactions may apply under MCL 15.243.
