The Dickinson Co Jail is a detention center located at 300 E "D" St Iron Mountain, MI which is operated locally by the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Dickinson County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Iron Mountain Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Dickinson County Sheriff's Office also serves as the county jail. In the spring of 1997, the facility was remodeled and expanded to increase its capacity, now housing up to 71 inmates, both male and female.

The Corrections Division of the Sheriff's Office operates a Sheriff's Work Van program, which provides free community service to local non-profit and governmental agencies. This program, an alternative to jail time, is assigned by the District Court to individuals convicted of misdemeanor crimes who are not considered security risks. By offering valuable community service, the program helps free up jail bed space for more serious offenders.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can reduce sentences by one day for every 24 hours of work. Inmate workers receive double feeding trays and two mattresses. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, orders may be doubled. Indigent inmates must miss two commissary days to receive a weekly indigent pack containing basic hygiene items, and indigent mail is stamped only for the Attorney of Record or the Court. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Family or friends may provide money for personal care products, stamps, stationery, etc. for inmates. Money must be deposited at the jail lobby kiosk where it will be credited to the inmate's account. The Post Office requests that no cash be sent in the mail to inmates. Money orders will only be accepted for deposit to inmate accounts.
