The Crawford County MI Jail is a detention center located at 200 W Michigan Ave Grayling, MI which is operated locally by the Crawford County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Crawford County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Grayling Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Michigan here.

The Crawford County Jail houses pre-trial detainees and prisoners sentenced to one year or less with 51 beds. Offenders who are arrested by any agency in our county are lodged within the Crawford County Jail in Grayling. In addition to housing prisoners on violations of state statutes, we also house inmates from time to time for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, outside counties, and the Michigan Department of Corrections on a temporary basis. Agencies who house prisoners from outside our county pay for each day the subject is housed, and those funds are turned over to the County Treasurer for general fund revenue. The jail houses minimum to maximum security inmates, work release and trustees to include male and females. The jail has a state of the art surveillance and cell door locking system needed to maintain the many levels of security to ensure employee, public and inmate safety.

Many programs at the Crawford Co Jail help to assist in providing counseling services and the skills necessary to help reduce recidivism.

Some of these programs include:

  • Community Corrections
  • Work Release Program
  • Education Programs
  • GED program (in partnership with the Crawford AuSable School District)
  • Jail Ministry / Religious Volunteers
  • Community Service i.e.; recycling center, Grayling Recreation.
