Menominee County Jail Overview
Menominee County Jail is operated by the Menominee County Sheriff's Office. The official jail page lists the facility as the county jail and gives the same sheriff's office address used for detention services. The sheriff's office vision statement includes maintaining a safe, secure, and humane facility for inmates, and the staff page identifies Sheriff Darrin Kudwa and Lt. Tina Nast as the jail administrator.
This is a county jail, not a state prison. Its population is local: adults arrested by local agencies, people awaiting arraignment or later court dates, misdemeanor-sentence inmates, and people held under local court orders or agency holds. Official county and state sources reviewed did not publish a rated capacity, bed count, housing-unit list, average daily population, or jail construction history. Those figures should be confirmed by the jail or requested through county public-records channels instead of inferred from unofficial pages.
The official Menominee County Jail page is the source for the facility's local service details.
The jail page supports contact, mail, commissary, CIDNET, medical, bond, visitation, and VINE information, but it does not show a public roster link.
Menominee County Jail Population Facts
Menominee County Jail population figures were not published in the official county and state sources reviewed. The confirmed local figures are operational rather than statistical: the jail address, phone, jail administrative hours, 24-hour correctional staff phone availability, and public-records response process. Because no official capacity or current population was found, the stat block uses research status rather than invented counts.
For current custody, call the jail. For historical or administrative data, use the county FOIA process. The Menominee County FOIA page says the county must respond within five business days after receiving a request and may take one extension of not more than ten business days.
Look Up Menominee County Jail Inmates
No official Menominee County public online jail roster was located. The correct lookup method for this facility is therefore phone first, records request second, and then state or federal fallback only when the person may have left county custody. A county jail lookup should not be confused with MDOC OTIS, which is for state prison and MDOC supervision, or with the BOP and ICE locators, which are not local jail rosters.
- Call Menominee County Jail at 906-863-4441 and ask about current custody, bond or hold status, visit eligibility, and release timing.
- If a record is needed rather than a live custody answer, submit a written county FOIA request with the person's full name, date of birth if known, booking or arrest date, agency, report number, and requested record types.
- Use VINELink Michigan or 800-770-7657 for release, transfer, or escape notifications.
- Search MiCOURT Case Search for court charges, hearing dates, and case status tied to the arrest.
- Use MDOC OTIS, BOP, or ICE only when facts point outside county jail custody.
The Menominee County inmate records page gives the broader fallback chain for roster, FOIA, court, state, federal, and immigration searches.
Menominee County Jail Address
The jail contact card is the practical hub for custody, facility, and visit questions. The sheriff's office page states that road patrol and jail services are available around the clock, and the jail page says correctional staff are available by phone 24 hours per day. Jail administrative hours are narrower, so records, administrator, or non-urgent service questions should be timed to posted business hours where possible.

The jail is near the Menominee County Courthouse at 839 10th Avenue. That nearby court location matters because District Court handles initial adult criminal proceedings, bail setting, and bond acceptance after a jail arrest.
Menominee County Jail Visits
Menominee County Jail uses CIDNET for video visits, phone calls, and messaging. The jail page says video visitation is available through CIDNET seven days per week. Inmates with account credit may receive calls until 10 PM daily. The county also offers free video visitation at the CIDNET kiosk inside the jail lobby, but that free option is by appointment and only during select hours.
| Day or Contact Type | Hours or Schedule | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Remote video visitation | Seven days per week | CIDNET video |
| Inmate calls | Until 10 PM daily with account credit | CIDNET phone |
| Free lobby video visit | Select hours by appointment | CIDNET kiosk at the jail |
| Appointment information | Call 906-863-4441 or 1-800-236-0242 | Jail or visitation info line |
Bring government identification unless the jail says otherwise, and confirm rules before arriving. The official sources reviewed did not publish visitor parking rates, overflow parking, a transit stop, or ADA entrance details. Call ahead if access, mobility, or accommodation questions affect the visit.
Menominee County Jail Mail
Inmates at Menominee County Jail may send and receive postal mail. Non-privileged mail may be opened and inspected before delivery. The county's rule is more specific than a general inspection warning: for security, inmates receive photocopies of images or letters, while original documents are placed with inmate belongings and returned at release. Mail with legal professionals, courts, or government officials is treated as privileged correspondence.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Use Menominee County Jail, 831 10th Ave, Menominee, MI 49858, with inmate-identifying details. |
| Phone, video, messaging | CIDNET is the named county jail provider. |
| Money deposit | JailATM online, jail lobby kiosk, or check/money order by U.S. mail. |
| Bond payment | AllPaid Bond Payments PLC 5264, with transaction fee. |
| Inmate funds or prisoner board | AllPaid Prisoner Board/Inmate Funds PLC 5138, with transaction fee. |
Newspapers and magazine subscriptions are permitted only when mailed directly from the publisher or a reputable vendor. Reading material is reviewed by jail supervisors before circulation, and inmates have access to books through the jail library. Do not send original documents unless the sender accepts that originals may be stored with inmate property until release.
Menominee County Jail Commissary
Commissary orders may be placed any day of the week, but the jail page says orders are placed and delivered once per week. Funds can be added through JailATM, the jail lobby kiosk, or a mailed check or money order. The county warns that if an inmate has debt, some or all of a deposit can be applied to that balance before spending money is available.
| Item | Amount or Rule |
|---|---|
| JailATM online deposit | Available; exact vendor fee not published on the county page. |
| Lobby kiosk deposit | Available at the jail lobby; confirm access before travel. |
| Mailed check or money order | Available through U.S. mail to the jail. |
| Unpaid state-mandated booking fees | 100% of deposited funds may be applied until paid. |
| Other inmate debt | 25% of deposits goes to repayment. |
County jail funds do not follow a person into state prison. If a Menominee County case results in a prison sentence, MDOC uses GTL Financial Services and ConnectNetwork for deposits and separate MDOC package rules. Confirm custody before making a deposit.
Menominee County Jail Booking
Menominee County's official jail pages do not publish a full booking manual. The court and prosecutor pages describe the surrounding process. Police may arrest on the spot in certain situations or submit a charging request to the Prosecuting Attorney. The prosecutor reviews reports, records, witness statements, evidence, and prior history before deciding whether to authorize charges. If a complaint is filed, District Court handles the first court appearance and bond.
Medical care at the jail is provided on site by Around The Clock Healthcare Services. The county says referrals may be made to local medical facilities and specialists when needed. Mental-health services are provided by telehealth. These services are facility operations, not public roster fields, but they matter for family members trying to understand what happens after intake.
A custody flow for this facility is: arrest, booking, District Court arraignment, bond or hold review, continued county jail custody or release, then possible transfer to state prison only after sentencing and commitment to MDOC.
About Menominee County Jail
Menominee County Jail serves a border county where local cases can involve the sheriff, City of Menominee Police, Hannahville Tribal Police, Michigan State Police Eighth District, Department of Natural Resources, nearby Wisconsin contacts, or federal authorities. That makes agency names and case numbers important when asking about a booking, FOIA record, court file, or hold. The Menominee County inmate population hub places this jail in the countywide custody search flow.
The county site links an inmate rules document through the jail forms page, and the research located a March 2025 revision date for that document. The PDF text was not extracted in the research pass, so detailed rule claims should come from the jail or the document itself. No official jail inspection report, jail construction announcement, death-in-custody notice, or local litigation item was located in the official sources reviewed.
Note: Confirm custody, visitation, and account status with Menominee County Jail before traveling or sending funds.
