The Lake County MI Jail is a detention center located at 1153 Michigan Ave Baldwin, MI which is operated locally by the Lake 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. Lake County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Baldwin 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 Lake County Corrections Division provides secure incarceration and detention for the following: felons, gross misdemeanants, misdemeanants, pre-trial detainees, juvenile non-status offenders, MDOC offenders, witnesses and others being detained in protective custody. The corrections division shall further strive to provide an atmosphere, which is safe where the rights of inmates are protected, as well as promote the humane care of inmates. It is the goal of the Lake County Corrections Division to establish an environment of respect and dignity toward prisoners and to strive for staff sensitivity toward persons under their care.

Staffing consists of Chief Deputy, Jail Sergeant, 4 Corporal’s, 10 Corrections officers.
