Inmate Correspondence - All inmate correspondence must be sent through the USPS to the main jail, this includes inmates that are housed at the Detention Center.

Inmate Medication - Prescription medication, for pre-existing conditions, is allowable. However, the meds will be verified by the jail health care provider prior to administration. Medications must be in the original container to be accepted. No mixed medications will be authorized.

Personal Items - No personal items will be accepted for inmates housed at the main jail facility. Exceptions to this rule are for those that are ordered by the court to wear personal clothing for a jury trial. Any hygiene items will be provided by the jail or can be purchased through the commissary. For further information on Detention Center, inmates see Community Corrections Detention Center.

Reading Materials - Inmates have access to books via the jail library. Newspaper and magazine subscriptions are permitted by direct mail from the publisher. After an inmate is released, it is their responsibility to cancel the subscription. Any items received after an inmate's release will not be returned or forwarded and are placed in the jail library for circulation. No pornographic or suggestive materials will be accepted.

Inmate Programs - In-House Adult Ed/GED- Inmates are able to enroll in the Marquette Community Schools Adult Education and General Equivalency Diploma (GED) programs. These two programs have been combined into one. A certified teacher from the Marquette Area Schools comes to the jail twice per week for 2-hour sessions. Inmates can acquire GED certification and/or high school credit.

Inmate Worker - Enables inmates to perform assigned tasks within the confines of the jail. The jail staff screens all offenders prior to enrollment. Inmate workers are given responsibilities that do not impair or disrupt the orderly running of the jail; working in the kitchen or laundry are two such examples. Inmates are able to benefit from the work experience and develop a more positive attitude about themselves.

Religious Services - Christian church services are available to inmates every Monday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., with one-on-one counseling available on Thursdays. Other clergy visits of approved religions permitted by the Department of Corrections are allowed with prior notice to the corrections staff.

Inmate Locator

Marquette County MI Jail publishes the names of the inmates currently in their facility in Michigan. Your search should start with this locator first to see if your loved one is there.

The second box is the InmateAid Inmate Search. This database of inmates is user-generated content to access and utilize any or all of the InmateAid services.
