Dickinson County Correctional Center Overview

The Dickinson County Correctional Center, also described as the Dickinson County Jail, is operated by the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office. The facility is at 300 East D Street in Iron Mountain, Michigan. The official sheriff page names Sheriff Aaron Rochon and Undersheriff Chris Kuenzer, gives the main sheriff number as (906) 774-6262, and gives the jail line as (906) 774-6270. Emergency calls still use 911.

This is a county jail. It is not a Michigan Department of Corrections prison, a Federal Bureau of Prisons institution, or an ICE detention center. The facility holds male and female county jail inmates, including local pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, and people held pending court, bond, warrant, or transfer. A person sentenced to state prison should be searched through MDOC OTIS after transfer, not through the county jail channel alone.

The official sheriff page gives the facility address, jail phone, corrections section, and capacity.

Those official county details are the basis for the facility's local contact and capacity information.

Dickinson Correctional Center Capacity

The sheriff's office states that the jail was remodeled and expanded in spring 1997 to house additional prisoners. The current published capacity is 71 beds or inmates. The sheriff page also says the office serves 27,472 citizens plus tourists and visitors across 775.5 square miles. No official current facility population, average daily population, or annual booking figure was found in the reviewed county web sources.

Michigan's jail-overcrowding statute makes capacity meaningful. MCL 801.51a concerns a county jail population exceeding 95 percent of rated design capacity. For a 71-bed jail, that threshold is about 68 people. The research did not locate an official Dickinson County count high enough to state the jail is overcrowded.

Lookup Dickinson Correctional Center Inmates

The first official digital channel found for Dickinson County Correctional Center inmate lookup is the Dickinson County Sheriff MI app. No official browser roster was located on the county website, and search results can lead to a Dickinson County, Iowa roster that is not a Michigan custody source. Use the app as a first check, then call the jail line if the person is missing, recently released, transferred, held under a different name, or subject to another agency's hold.

1. Use the official Dickinson County Sheriff MI app and look for inmate search.
2. Search with the person's name and compare any visible record details carefully.
3. Call the Dickinson County jail line at (906) 774-6270 to confirm custody, release, transfer, or hold status.
4. Use county FOIA for booking records, jail logs, incident records, or booking photographs not shown publicly.
5. Search MDOC OTIS only if the person has moved to state prison, parole, probation, or recent MDOC discharge status.

Dickinson Correctional Center Contact

Use the jail line for custody and jail-operational questions. Use the main sheriff number for general sheriff business. The county's broader government hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central time, but jail operations and records counters may follow different procedures. Call before traveling, especially for visitation, property, money, or records questions.

Visiting Dickinson County Correctional Center

The official county sheriff web page reviewed did not publish a current visitation schedule. Research located handbook-style material suggesting video visitation, visitor check-in at the Sheriff's Office, ID requirements, staff approval, limits on visits by recent former inmates, and special visits requiring Jail Administrator approval. Because that material had county-name ambiguity in search results, do not rely on it for a current Michigan schedule without calling the jail.

Mail and Money Rules

The reviewed official county web page did not publish a mail-address format, commissary vendor, inmate phone vendor, video vendor, deposit limit, or fee schedule. Do not send money or mail based on another county's handbook. Confirm the current format with the jail line, including whether the inmate must be in custody, whether a middle name or booking number is required, and whether any property or money rule applies after release or transfer.

Booking at Dickinson Correctional Center

Local official sources did not publish a step-by-step jail intake guide, booking-photo timing rule, fingerprint procedure, or roster refresh schedule. The safe process is the one supported by Dickinson County's court materials: an arresting agency transports or arranges lodging, jail staff process the person into custody, and the charges and bond are shaped by the police report, prosecutor review, warrant or complaint, and court arraignment. The jail record and court record should be read together.

The county court-process page explains how an arrest turns into arraignment, bond, preliminary exam, and later court action.

That process helps explain why a booking entry may differ from the final prosecutor-filed charge record.

Dickinson County Jail Programs

The sheriff page lists several corrections programs at the jail. The Sheriff's Work Van program is for misdemeanor offenders assigned by District Court in lieu of jail time and for non-security-risk violators. The program provides free community service to nonprofit and governmental agencies and frees bed space for more serious offenders. The sheriff page also lists Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Gideons, Community Schools, chaplaincy, and mental health counseling.
