Locate Presque Isle County Jail Inmates

Presque Isle County Jail Overview

Presque Isle County Jail is operated by the Presque Isle County Sheriff's Office in Rogers City. The sheriff's jail page describes it as the only jail located in Presque Isle County. It is a county jail, not a state prison, and it holds people connected to local criminal cases, local sentences, work release, and court movement. A person arrested in Presque Isle County will usually be checked through the jail first unless another agency, hospital, court order, or transport issue controls the custody path.

The facility serves a small rural county. The official jail page says it was constructed in 1974 and now houses up to 24 inmates. It holds minimum-to-maximum security inmates and work-release inmates sentenced up to one year. Older sheriff annual-report material from 2010 lists a 23-inmate designed capacity, 3 dormitory cells, 1 maximum-security cell, 2 holding cells, and 1 inmate-worker cell. Because those cell-layout details come from an older annual report, they are best read as local history unless the sheriff confirms the same configuration is still current.

Who Presque Isle Jail Holds

Presque Isle County Jail holds local arrestees, pretrial detainees awaiting arraignment or bond, sentenced county inmates, and eligible work-release inmates. The research also notes historical annual-report language about females and males, juvenile inmates when legally held, medical and mental-health transport, court transport, Community Corrections, and occasional state inmates under county jail reimbursement arrangements. Current copy should not treat every older annual-report item as a current program guarantee, but those details show the jail's local custody role.

State prisoners are different. No Michigan Department of Corrections prison is located in Presque Isle County, and sentenced felony prisoners move into the statewide MDOC system when prison is ordered. Use MDOC OTIS for Michigan prisoners, parolees, probationers, absconders, escapees, and recently discharged MDOC-supervised people. Use the county jail only for local jail custody. Federal sentenced prisoners use the BOP locator, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS rather than the county jail's local channels.

Presque Isle Jail Lookup Chain

No official public Presque Isle County Jail online roster, booking-photo feed, recent-bookings gallery, warrant database, or mugshot gallery was located on the sheriff or county pages checked. That finding changes the lookup order. For a fresh arrest, start with the jail phone and the sheriff records process instead of assuming an online roster exists. For fuller custody-search routing, use Presque Isle County jail inmate records with the same phone, records, court, VINELink, OTIS, BOP, and ICE distinctions.

1. Call Presque Isle County Jail at 989-734-2156 and ask about current custody, bond, visit scheduling, and records routing.
2. Use in-person or written contact at the jail and sheriff's office if a custody or bond question cannot be handled by phone.
3. For reports, booking details, or older records, use the sheriff records process and send the request to ATTN: Records.
4. Use VINELink for notification when the person appears in a covered Michigan custody record.
5. Search MiCOURT or the local court links after arraignment or case filing.
6. Use OTIS, BOP, or ICE only when the custody type has moved beyond local county jail custody.

Have the person's full name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and the reason for the call ready before contacting the jail. For an arrest that has just occurred, court records may lag behind jail intake. For a felony case, District Court records may appear first, then Circuit Court records after bindover or waiver.

Presque Isle Jail Contact

The jail and sheriff share the same public-safety address in Rogers City. Use the main phone number for custody questions, visitation appointments, bond questions, records routing, and confirmation before traveling. The county courthouse is nearby in Rogers City but is not the jail building, so court errands and jail visits should be planned as separate stops.

For mailed report requests, the sheriff records page says to include the complaint or incident number, date of incident, self-addressed stamped envelope, and payment, then send the request to Presque Isle County Sheriff's Office, 267 N 2nd St., Rogers City, MI 49779, ATTN: Records. The records page lists $10 for a mailed report copy, $20 for reports over 10 pages, and says photo fees vary by number of prints. The office may require a Michigan FOIA request.

Presque Isle Jail Visitation

Presque Isle County Jail publishes a specific visiting schedule. Visits take place on Thursday and Sunday, last 30 minutes, and require an appointment. Appointments are taken by phone at 989-734-2156 or in person after midnight on the day of the visit. A visitor may see only one inmate per day. If a visitor makes an appointment and does not show up, the next visiting appointment must be made in person from that point on.

The sheriff page does not publish a full visitor ID rule, dress code, property list, locker rule, attorney-visit policy, holiday schedule, or emergency-cancellation policy. Call before traveling, especially if the visitor is bringing children, coming from outside Rogers City, or trying to schedule around court, work release, lockdown, or medical transport.

Presque Isle Jail Mail

Mail for Presque Isle County Jail must come through the U.S. Postal Service. The jail page says mail is passed out at regular daily mail times and that corrections staff sort, open, and thoroughly inspect all mail for contraband. Address mail with the inmate's name and the jail address. Do not assume books, cards, photos, money orders, or legal mail follow a generic rule, because the sheriff page did not publish a full banned-items list or publication policy.

Presque Isle Jail Money

Commissary deposits and bond payments use different channels. The sheriff jail page links commissary deposits to JailATM and says deposits can be made online or by phone at any time. It also says the lobby kiosk accepts cash or credit cards for deposit or inmate bond. Published county sources do not list a flat deposit fee, commissary order limit, phone rate, or kiosk operating schedule, so confirm costs and availability before sending money or driving to the jail.

CIDNET at Presque Isle Jail

Presque Isle County Jail uses CIDNET for video visits, text messages, and phone calls. The sheriff jail page directs outside users to create a CIDNET account, register with an email address, time zone, first and last name, verify the email, choose a security PIN and password, sign in, and set up account data. It also says the user must buy data and that the data balance is consumed when communicating with the inmate.

Presque Isle Jail Work Release

The current jail page says the facility houses inmates on work release who are sentenced up to one year. Work release is not the same as full release from custody. It generally means an eligible inmate may leave the jail for approved work and return under jail rules. The county source does not publish a full application process, employer rule, testing policy, transport rule, or fee schedule, so the jail should be contacted for current eligibility and daily reporting requirements.

Older sheriff annual-report material adds context for local operations. It mentions Community Corrections participation, inmate medical and food services, medical and mental-health appointment transport, court transport, and redundant surveillance and cell-door locking systems. Those details help explain how a small county jail can handle a mix of pretrial, sentenced, and program custody. Treat older report details as historical unless confirmed by the sheriff.

Presque Isle Jail Directions

Visitors should route to Presque Isle County Jail and Sheriff's Office at 267 N 2nd St. in Rogers City. The jail is near the county courthouse area at 151 E Huron Avenue, but the courthouse and jail are separate buildings. Drivers approaching from US-23 along Lake Huron should follow Rogers City local streets toward North Second Street and confirm the final turn in a live navigation app. Drivers coming from inland Presque Isle County should route into Rogers City first, then to North Second Street.

The sheriff sources did not publish visitor parking rules, transit instructions, ADA entrance details, or a detailed written property-entry list. Call before leaving for a visit, bond payment, records errand, or custody inquiry. A same-day visit also has an unusual timing rule because appointments are taken by phone or in person after midnight on the day of the visit. That local rule can affect anyone traveling from Onaway, Posen, Millersburg, or other parts of the county.

Presque Isle Jail Records

Jail records and court records answer different questions. The jail can route custody, visit, bond, mail, deposit, and booking-record questions. Court records show arraignment, bond orders, filed charges, preliminary examination events, felony bindover, disposition, fines, costs, restitution, and sentencing. The Presque Isle County inmate population overview also separates county jail custody from state prison and federal or immigration custody, which is important when a person disappears from local custody after sentencing or transfer.

Michigan FOIA is the formal public-record fallback for sheriff-held records that are not released informally. The sheriff records page says a FOIA request may be required by the office. For booking photos, the Michigan State Police FOIA handbook treats a booking photograph of a county jail inmate kept by a sheriff as a public record under FOIA, subject to the request process and any lawful fees. No official Presque Isle County mugshot gallery was found, so the records channel matters more than a public image feed.
