Midland County Jail Overview
Midland County Jail is operated by the Midland County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Scott Holzinger. It is the only local detention facility found in official Midland County source material. The jail serves arrests from Midland County law-enforcement agencies, court commitments from local courts, county jail sentences, work release, trustees, female housing, maximum security, medium security, direct supervision housing, and some federal-court jurisdiction inmates when residual space is rented.
The jail is not a Michigan state prison. If a person is sentenced to MDOC custody, the search moves to MDOC OTIS after transfer. Federal sentenced inmates are searched through the BOP locator, and immigration detention is searched through ICE ODLS. That distinction prevents a common search error: a person can leave the county roster because custody changed, not because the original arrest record never existed.
Midland County Jail Capacity
The current county jail page lists 274 beds. The county facilities history page describes the 2009 facility as a 250-bed jail at opening, built after the Board of Commissioners authorized a 25 million dollar project to relieve chronic overcrowding at the former 100-bed downtown lockup. Use both official figures carefully: 250 beds describes the opening-era facility history, while 274 beds is the current capacity statement on the jail page.
The jail page describes a podular model with open intake, trustees, work release, female housing, maximum security, medium security, and direct supervision pods. Each pod has a classroom, a video visitation station, and an indoor/outdoor recreation room. The facilities history page adds dedicated medical and educational space and says the building was sized for 20 years of inmate population growth.
Lookup Midland County Jail Inmates
The correct online lookup system for this county-jail facility is the Midland County JailTracker roster reached from the county jail page or roster landing page. It covers local jail custody, not state-prison supervision or federal sentencing records. The roster may require a modern browser, and the research found client fields for names, current-inmate filters, released-since values, captcha, charges, bonds, court dates, holds, and image settings.
- Open the official county jail page and choose the current inmate roster link.
- Search by last name first, then add first name or other filters if too many results appear.
- Open the inmate profile and check custody status, booking date, charges, bond, court data, holds, and release status.
- Call Midland County Jail at (989) 832-6612 ext. 0 if the roster does not load or the arrest is too recent.
- Search MDOC OTIS, BOP, ICE, MiCOURT, or VINELink if the person has moved outside local jail custody.
The Midland County inmate records page gives a fuller roster field inventory and explains how to separate jail custody from state, federal, immigration, and court records.

Midland County Jail Mail Money
Midland County changed personal inmate mail rules effective February 9, 2026. Personal mail is no longer accepted at the jail. It must be sent to the Securus Digital Mail Center in Tampa, where accepted paper mail is scanned for eMessaging tablets. Legal mail still goes to Midland County Jail at 105 Fast Ice Drive and must not be sent to the digital-mail address.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Key Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | Incarcerated Name and ID #, Midland County Jail, PO Box 21267, Tampa, FL 33622 | No personal mail accepted at the jail after 02/09/2026 |
| Legal mail | Midland County Jail, Inmate Name, 105 Fast Ice Drive, Midland, MI 48642 | Do not use the Securus Digital Mail Center |
| Lobby deposit | Canteen Kiosk | Cash or credit only, no money orders or checks |
| Online deposit | Express Account instructions | Credit or debit card and arrestee name required |
| Phone deposit or commissary order | 1-866-422-6833 | Commissary phone orders Monday-Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. |
The official inmate deposits page shows the kiosk, Express Account, phone deposit, and commissary phone-order channels.
That screenshot supports the local deposit channels and the county's rule against money orders and checks.
Booking at Midland County Jail
Booking starts when a person is brought to the jail after arrest or court commitment. Midland County's jail page confirms open intake, while the jail records division handles jail records, telephone calls, visitor check-in, work release administration, video visitation, inmate debt, revenue, and statistics. Booking records may later feed the JailTracker roster and court searches, but the roster charge is not the same as a final conviction.
After intake, classification affects housing. Midland County Jail has pods for trustees, work release, women, maximum security, medium security, and direct supervision. A person may also be held because of a court order, warrant, bond status, local sentence, state hold, federal-court jurisdiction, or another agency hold. If a hold exists, paying one bond may not release the person.
Midland County Jail Programs
Official county pages support several program and facility features: classrooms in each pod, work release, trustee housing, video visitation stations, indoor/outdoor recreation rooms, medical space, educational space, and a structured ministry program. Ministry visitors need a signed jail agreement, photo ID, and written consent on church letterhead, and documents are kept on file for one year.
Recent local reporting described a recovery pod launched on April 6, 2026, with 10 to 15 participants during early development and capacity up to 34. The same reporting described GED, employment, addiction-recovery, financial literacy, and paternity-class themes. Because those details come from dated news reporting rather than the county jail page itself, they should be read as recent context, not as a substitute for current jail confirmation.
Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, mail address, and deposit rules with Midland County Jail before sending funds or traveling.
Midland County Jail Location
The official jail location and mail page shows the 101 Fast Ice Drive jail location and the Securus Digital Mail Center mail rules.
The source helps separate the public jail location from the legal-mail address and the Tampa digital-mail address.
