The Dickinson Co Jail is a detention center located at 300 E "D" St Iron Mountain, MI which is operated locally by the Dickinson 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. Dickinson County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Iron Mountain 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 jail has a total bed capacity of 71 beds/inmates, housing both male and female inmates. Under the Corrections Division, the Office also has a Sheriff's Work Van program. The program provides free community service to local non-profit and governmental agencies. People are assigned to this program via the District Court in lieu of jail time. It is offered to Misdemeanor crimes only and only to non-security risk violators. This program provides valuable community service and frees up valuable jail bed space for more serious offenders.
Other programs at the Correctional Center are Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Gideons, Community Schools, a chaplaincy program, and mental health counseling.
