This is a private reference site, not a Charlevoix County office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, retrieve official booking records, or change a government record. Use the official office or locator that matches the record you need.
Where to Start for Jail or Record Questions
For current local jail custody, start with the Charlevoix County Sheriff's Office and Jail. The county did not publish an official searchable jail roster in the source review, so the jail phone line and official records channels matter.
Charlevoix County Sheriff's Office and Jail
1000 Grant St.
Charlevoix, MI 49720
Main jail and sheriff phone: 231-547-4461
Sheriff's administration: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Jail operations: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Route the question by the type of record or custody system involved:
- For someone who may be in the county jail, use the steps on jail inmate records and call 231-547-4461 for official confirmation.
- For booking-photo context or a mugshot-related public-records request, review jail roster mugshots before contacting the Sheriff's Office.
- For charges, hearings, or case events after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest. District Court handles misdemeanor matters, Circuit Court handles felony matters, and the Prosecuting Attorney handles charging and prosecution routing.
- For the local detention facility address, phone, and visitor context, use the Charlevoix County Jail page.
- For law-enforcement records under Michigan FOIA, the county identifies Kirk Raymond at the Sheriff's Office, 1000 Grant St., as the law-enforcement FOIA coordinator.
- For non-law-enforcement county records, the County Clerk page identifies Julia Drost as the FOIA coordinator.
- For a sentenced Michigan prisoner, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS locator rather than the county jail channel.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System, depending on the custody type.
