Where to Route a Manistee County Custody Question

For local jail and sheriff records, start with the Manistee County Sheriff's Office at 1525 E Parkdale Avenue, Manistee, MI 49660. The jail and corrections line is 231-723-8435. The sheriff non-emergency number is 231-723-8393. Written FOIA requests may be sent to foiacoordinator@manisteesheriff.org, and sheriff FOIA administrative hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

  • For someone possibly held at the Manistee County Jail, use the official jail line and the guidance on jail inmate records.
  • For booking photos or photo-related records, review jail roster mugshots and use the sheriff FOIA process when no public roster photo is posted.
  • For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and search MiCOURT for the 85th District Court or 19th Circuit Court.
  • For pending-charge incident reports, follow the county instruction to request the report from the Manistee County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
  • For a facility-specific question, use the facility pages for Manistee County Jail and Oaks Correctional Facility.
  • For a sentenced Michigan prisoner, search the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS locator.
  • For custody-status notifications, use Michigan VINELink where coverage is available.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
