Locate Roscommon County Jail Inmates

Roscommon Jail Overview

Roscommon County Jail is operated by Roscommon County and the Roscommon County Sheriff's Office. The official Roscommon jail and inmate information page lists mail, deposit, property, book, and visitation rules for people housed there. It does not make Roscommon County Jail the primary Ogemaw County jail. Ogemaw County's primary local booking and contact point remains the Ogemaw County Correctional Facility in West Branch, which is operated by Sheriff Brian D. Gilbert's office, unless current officials state that a person has been moved.

The Roscommon facility is included for Ogemaw County inmate population work because Ogemaw County's September 2024 jail-operation narrative discusses Michigan's statutory path for counties to contract with another county for jail use while maintaining a lockup. Ogemaw Herald reporting also described commissioners pursuing a Roscommon County housing agreement while converting the Ogemaw facility toward a 72-hour lockup model. Those are operational-context sources, not a public roster. The safer custody rule is still direct verification with Ogemaw Corrections first.

Capacity for Roscommon County Jail was not located in the official Roscommon page inspected. For that reason, Roscommon capacity should be treated as unverified unless the sheriff or county publishes a current number. The sourced contact, mail, money, and visitation rules still matter once Ogemaw jail staff, Roscommon staff, or court information confirms that a person is in Roscommon custody.

Roscommon Custody Lookup

The inspected Roscommon County jail page did not publish a searchable inmate roster in the visible text. For an Ogemaw County arrest, do not skip the local jail contact chain. Call Ogemaw County Corrections first to ask whether the person is still at the Ogemaw County Correctional Facility, has been released, has a court hold, or has been moved to another facility. The Ogemaw County Sheriff's Office remains the sheriff contact for Ogemaw-held records. If Ogemaw staff identifies Roscommon County Jail as the housing location, then follow Roscommon's official mail, deposit, and visitation rules before sending funds, books, or mail.

1. Start with Ogemaw County Corrections at 989-345-5908 for any Ogemaw County arrestee.
2. Ask whether the person is in Ogemaw custody, released, transferred, or held under a contract-housing arrangement.
3. If Roscommon is confirmed, use the Roscommon County Jail/Inmate Information page for current mail and deposit rules.
4. For sheriff-held Ogemaw booking records, use the Ogemaw Sheriff's FOIA process rather than Roscommon's mail page.
5. For a sentenced state prisoner, use MDOC OTIS; for federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE.

Roscommon County Jail is a county jail path, not a state prison locator and not a federal detainee locator. If the person was sentenced to MDOC custody after an Ogemaw County case, the public search shifts to OTIS. If the question is court status rather than physical custody, Ogemaw's 82nd Judicial District Court and 34th Judicial Circuit Court are separate court channels. If the person is in federal custody, the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator is the public federal source. If immigration detention is the issue, ICE ODLS is the correct public locator for adults in ICE custody.

Roscommon Jail Contact

The facility address in the official Roscommon jail page is the inmate-mail address at 111 S. Second St. in Roscommon. The same official page's county contact block lists the Roscommon County Building and Courthouse at 500 Lake Street with the main county phone. A facility-specific jail line was not located on the inspected page, so the contact card uses the sourced main county contact and flags the limitation plainly.

The official Roscommon jail/inmate page publishes the inmate mail address and practical rules for deposits, property, books, and visitation status.

The image matters for Ogemaw County searches only after custody has been confirmed, because it shows Roscommon's own rules rather than an Ogemaw jail roster.

Roscommon Jail Visits

Roscommon's official jail page states that there is no on-site visitation at the time stated on the page. That is narrower than a full weekly schedule. It means a visitor should not drive to Roscommon expecting a lobby visit without checking the current Roscommon County Jail instructions first. If an Ogemaw County arrestee has been moved there, Ogemaw staff may confirm the housing location, but Roscommon's current rules control visits, property, mail handling, and deposits for a person housed in Roscommon.

Because the research did not locate a facility-specific Roscommon jail phone on the inspected page, the practical approach is to begin with Ogemaw Corrections for Ogemaw custody status and then use the Roscommon county contact or official Roscommon jail page for current local rules.

Roscommon Mail and Money

Roscommon County Jail publishes specific mail handling rules. Mail should use the inmate's name and the jail address at 111 S. Second St., Roscommon, MI 48653. Letters and pictures are copied and given to inmates, while originals are placed in the inmate's property. That means families should expect the inmate to receive a copy, not the original physical letter or photo. The official page also says in-custody personal property will not be released.

Deposits for current inmates may be made online through JailATM at any time or in person at the kiosk in the jail visitation lobby using cash or credit card. Roscommon's page states that no money is accepted by mail. Soft-cover books, puzzles, and games must be purchased by an online distributor and mailed to the jail with the inmate's name. Inappropriate items go into property and cannot be dropped off. Whites must be bought at the jail or through commissary and cannot be dropped off.

Roscommon Transfer Context

For Ogemaw County, Roscommon County Jail should be treated as a possible housing destination rather than the first booking point. Ogemaw County's own research still identifies the Ogemaw County Correctional Facility as the local jail contact for booking, bond, custody questions, mail, CIDNET communication, and JailATM deposits tied to Ogemaw custody. If the person is moved, the location of the body changes, but the original arrest record, incident report, booking photo request, and court path may still run through Ogemaw sheriff and court offices.

That distinction matters for records. A family member looking for release status may need the housing jail. A requester looking for the Ogemaw booking report or booking photo may need the Ogemaw Sheriff's FOIA form. A defendant's court dates after an Ogemaw arrest may appear through the Ogemaw District or Circuit Court channels. A sentenced prisoner may be in MDOC custody and no longer in either county jail. The best source depends on the question being asked.

Roscommon and Ogemaw

Michigan law allows counties to contract with other counties for jail use while maintaining a lockup that meets standards. That legal context is why Roscommon appears in Ogemaw County facility research. The official Ogemaw jail-operation narrative discussed that path as part of a broader financial and operational review, and Ogemaw Herald reporting described a planned shift toward Roscommon housing. Those sources support careful context, but they do not prove that a specific person is in Roscommon custody on a specific day.

The order should stay straight for Ogemaw County custody questions. Use the Ogemaw County inmate population overview for the local jail and population context, and use the Ogemaw jail contact path for current custody checks. Use Roscommon rules only when a person has been confirmed there. For records after an Ogemaw booking, the Ogemaw County jail inmate records path is more useful than treating Roscommon's mail page as a roster.
