Search Arrest Records

Kent Co Honor Camp was located at 16 Mile Rd, Gowen MI, and is now permanently closed. You can search for nearby facilities here.

The Mounted Unit's first facility was at the Kent County Sheriff's Office Honor Camp, a facility for the Kent County Correctional Facility's non-violent offenders. Housing the horses at the facility provided work opportunities for the inmates.

After the Honor Camp closed in 2011, the KCSO identified a future facility site in Rockford. A private family donated 31 acres to the Kent County Parks Department, which granted the land to the KCSO, intending to make the property accessible to the public.

The 20,000-square-foot indoor training center comprises 11 stalls, a locker room, a classroom, and an indoor riding arena. The arena is used by local 4-H groups and middle and high school riding teams and provides recreational riding opportunities for persons with special needs. The entire facility was constructed without taxpayer money through donations and sponsorships.

Inmate Locator

Finding an Inmate at Kent County MI Honor Camp

If you're trying to locate someone in custody at Kent County MI Honor Camp in Gowen, Michigan, the fastest path depends on how recently the arrest happened, what type of facility holds the inmate, and how quickly that facility updates its public records. There is no single nationwide inmate database that covers every detention facility in real time, so locating a specific person often means checking multiple sources or calling Kent County MI Honor Camp directly at 616-632-6391.

Using the InmateAid Inmate Search

The InmateAid inmate search is the fastest starting point for locating someone at Kent County MI Honor Camp. The search pulls from facility rosters, booking systems, and arrest record databases to return current custody status, charges, and housing facility. If the person was arrested or transferred recently and doesn't appear yet, the facility likely hasn't updated its public roster, which can lag by hours or a full business day. Try again later or call 616-632-6391 to confirm.

When the Inmate Doesn't Appear in the Search

Several explanations are possible if a person isn't showing up. The booking may not be complete. The person may have been released, transferred to another facility, or moved to federal or immigration custody. Some facilities deliberately delay public records by 24 to 72 hours for security reasons. Minors are never published in any public locator regardless of facility. To rule out a transfer or release, call 616-632-6391 and ask the booking desk to confirm current status.

What You'll Need to Search Effectively

Have ready: full legal name and any aliases, date of birth, and approximate date of arrest. If you know which agency made the arrest, that narrows results significantly. A booking number locates the record immediately. Without at least a full name and approximate date, searches return too many results to be useful.

Once You've Located the Inmate

When you confirm the person is at Kent County MI Honor Camp, set up a prepaid phone account so you don't miss the first call, and arrange any money transfer or commissary funding needed.
