When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Houghton County Jail so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Houghton County Jail is a detention center located at 403 E Houghton Ave Houghton, MI which is operated locally by the Houghton 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. Houghton County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Houghton 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.

Work Camp
In 1989, Public Act 511 was approved by the Legislature to begin a process of an alternative to prison and jail called Community Corrections.
In March of 1991, Tri-County Community Corrections representing Baraga, Houghton and Keweenaw Counties proposed a comprehensive plan which was approved for funding. This plan has had continuous approval since that time.
When our first plan was approved in 1991, it is believed we were the first to implement it in the state. We began a very popular Community Service Program by releasing four felons from jail to perform community service work. In spite of these early releases, we still experienced jail crowding, thus resulting in ten offenders being housed in other facilities.
At this point we applied for and received a $243,000 grant for a Work Camp facility. Again, Tri-County was the first to apply for and receive Work Camp allocated monies. The Work Camp was opened on October 4, 1991 and has remained open since. At present, Houghton County houses all of Baraga County inmates.
Throughout the years, since our camp opened, we have had the opportunity to entertain several State of Michigan dignitaries including Governor John Engler, MDOC Director Kenneth McGinnis, and Deputy Director Robert Steinman. All see the significance of what the Work Camp has accomplished, and the progress that has occurred over the last several years.

The second section features the InmateAid Inmate Search tool, providing a user-generated database of inmates. You can access this resource to utilize any of InmateAid's services. If you require assistance in creating an inmate profile to maintain communication, please contact us at aid@inmateaid.com, and we'll gladly help you locate your loved one.
As a last resort, you might have to pay for that information if we do not have it. The Arrest Record Search will cost you a small amount, but their data is the freshest available and for that reason, they charge to access it.
