Home / Directory / Michigan / Wayne County agencies and current jail custody
An arresting agency and the current jail are different contacts. Confirm whether county intake has occurred, then use the current Adult Detention Facility at the CJC. The older agency inventory is retained separately and may contain superseded addresses.
Booking, bond and release questions go to the jail, not the arresting agency. Confirm where the person is before you act.

Check identity, mode, price, destination and any unresolved local exception.
Save receipts; arrange property, transport and care after release.
Current CJC identity, custody records and useful contacts.
The Wayne County Sheriff’s Adult Detention Facility (ADF) is part of the Wayne County Criminal Justice Center (CJC), 5301 Russell Street, Detroit, MI 48211. The county identifies adult detention as Suite 500, the Sheriff’s Office as Suite 400 and the public video suite on the Administration Building’s first floor. Use the public entrance and ask for the service you need; a suite number does not authorize entry to a housing area.
The Andrew C. Baird/Division I, Old Wayne County Jail/Division II and William Dickerson/Division III names belong to older physical locations. The Sheriff now uses its old “jail-division-1” website address for the current CJC page. An old web address, directory population or building name is not proof someone is still housed there. Confirm custody at 313-224-0797 before traveling.
CJC also contains a separate juvenile facility, Suite 300, 313-967-2004; this adult guide does not govern youth visits or mail. Detroit Detention Center at 17601 Mound Road is a separate city prearraignment destination: Detroit’s official records document the transfer from MDOC to Detroit Police in 2025. Detroit Reentry Center at 17600 Ryan Road closed January 9, 2021. State prison, federal, immigration and other local police custody require their own location and rules.

Use the Wayne County Sheriff Inmate Inquiry reached from the Sheriff’s inmate-information page. Search fields include name, subject number, booking number, custody status, booking-date range and housing facility. Begin with the name or known booking number; a restrictive date or housing filter can hide a relevant record. Match the identity, not just a similar name.
The Sheriff directs questions about the specific charge, case or bond type to the court with jurisdiction and limits further public disclosure beyond its portal. A public-records request is not a fast substitute for confirming an immediate visit or pickup.

This section preserves the earlier Jail411 directory information, including historical figures and contacts. Use the dated, sourced family guide above for the instructions covered there. Other local facilities have their own rules.
The sheriff is usually the police department for unincorporated areas and the operator of the county jail. An arresting station is usually not the holding facility.

Jail411 lists the public agencies that make arrests so families can find the right door. We are not a government agency, a police department or a live custody-records service.
Often the sheriff runs the county jail, but the jail is a separate facility with its own address, phone and rules. Open the jail page for booking, visiting, mail and money details.
Ask the person, check any paperwork or citation, or call the sheriff's non-emergency line. City arrests belong to that city's police; unincorporated areas and county roads usually belong to the sheriff; freeways usually belong to the state patrol.
The jail can. The arresting agency may confirm an arrest but does not hold the person. Call the jail's booking or information line first.
Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Include the agency's official page when you have it. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
