Calhoun County Correctional Facility Inmate Roster Lookup

Calhoun County Correctional Facility Overview

Calhoun County Correctional Facility is a county-jail facility operated by the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division under Sheriff Steven Hinkley. It is located in Battle Creek and is tied closely to the Justice Center area, where jail custody, court movement, and security screening overlap. The county describes the building as a Direct Supervision facility, meaning correctional officers work in the living areas with inmates and detainees instead of observing only from a remote control point.

The facility holds pre-sentenced and sentenced local inmates and detainees. It also holds people under contract arrangements with cities, counties, the federal government, and ICE. That mixed population matters for lookup work because a person held in the same building may still be controlled by a county case, a federal pretrial arrangement, or immigration detention rules. For broader custody context, the Calhoun County inmate population page explains how the local jail count differs from state prison and federal custody.

The county jail overview screenshot from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office jail page shows the official local source for the facility's capacity, services, visitation, and deposit information.

Use the county page as the facility baseline, then use the separate roster, visitation, mail, and money systems for specific inmate actions.

Calhoun County Correctional Facility Capacity and Population

The official county jail page, inspected June 17, 2026, lists Calhoun County Correctional Facility as rated for 630 inmates and detainees. The same county material says the local average population is usually 275 to 325 inmates and detainees, while remaining bed space may be rented to other cities, counties, and the federal government. Because the building also appears on ICE's detention-facility list, the practical population picture is not limited to people arrested in Calhoun County.

The facility opened in 1994 and employs approximately 120 staff. The research did not locate a county-published pod map, classification-unit list, or official demographic breakdown by race, age, charge level, or sentence status. Public roster records may show individual profile details, but the roster should not be treated as a demographic report.

Who Is Held at This Facility

Most local searches involve people booked after arrest by a Calhoun County law-enforcement agency, people remanded by a court, or people serving a local jail sentence. The facility also provides secure lodging, prisoner transport, court security support, and contract civil detention. Services listed by the county include 24-hour NCCHC-accredited medical care, food service, religious support, laundry, counseling, GED education, and related support services.

Sentenced felony prisoners from Calhoun County are not searched through the county roster after they transfer into Michigan Department of Corrections custody. Those records move to MDOC OTIS. Federal sentenced prisoners are searched through the Bureau of Prisons locator. Immigration detainees may be physically housed at the same Battle Creek building, but ICE records remain ICE records and requests for those records go through ICE FOIA instead of county FOIA.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Calhoun County Correctional Facility

For a current local inmate or detainee, start with the Calhoun County Police-to-Citizen inmate catalog. The P2C roster is the primary county-jail lookup and should be used before calling unless the booking is very recent, the name spelling is uncertain, or the person may be in federal, immigration, or state custody. More detail on roster fields is available on the Calhoun County jail inmate records page.

1. Open the Calhoun County P2C inmate catalog.
2. Search by last name, first name, or other available roster filters when known.
3. Check the profile for holding facility, booking or arrest date, charge information, court date, and bond amount.
4. If the person is not listed, call the inmate and detainee information line or check MDOC OTIS, BOP, or ICE ODLS based on the case type.

Calhoun County Correctional Facility Address and Contact

Use the jail information line for basic custody confirmation and bond amount questions. The county's inmate correspondence material states that public information given about an inmate or detainee is limited to whether the person is lodged and what the bond amount will be, so callers should not expect medical details, housing-unit narratives, full investigative reports, or release planning information.

Visiting Someone at Calhoun County Correctional Facility

Visitation is handled through ICSolutions. Visitors must register for video visitation and schedule at least 48 hours before the visit. People who already have an ICSolutions phone account can use that account for video visitation. The jail is a 24-hour operation, but visitation occurs only within the posted blocks unless the Shift Commander authorizes otherwise.

The visitation schedule screenshot from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office visitation page is the matched source for the posted on-site and remote visit windows.

The same schedule should be checked before travel because appointment availability, visitor eligibility, and jail security decisions can affect a specific visit.

Visitor Entry and Security Screening

Visitors entering the Justice Complex must use the main entrance, pass through a metal detector, and send handbags or other carried items through X-ray screening. The jail page lists prohibited items that include cell phones, firearms or other weapons, knives of any kind, chemical sprays, photographic or recording devices, video games, and music devices. Court areas also restrict electronic devices in hearing rooms unless an authorized court officer allows them.

Public parking is described by the courts page as available off Division Street beside and behind the court building, and off East Michigan behind the Fire Department. No official parking fee was located in the research. Visitors should confirm route, parking, and appointment status before arrival because downtown traffic patterns and court security procedures can affect timing.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Calhoun County Correctional Facility

Regular mail is processed off site and made viewable on inmate tablets. Legal mail is handled differently: it is sent to the Battle Creek facility address, opened in the inmate or detainee's presence, and searched for contraband. The mail source screenshot from the Calhoun County inmate correspondence page shows the separate regular-mail and legal-mail routing rules.

Money held in an inmate or detainee account may be used for commissary, medical and health-related expenses, haircuts, and other allowed items. Deposits may be made by cash in person, by credit card by phone, or online through Access Corrections. ICSolutions is used for phone and video services, and CalhounPackages is listed for gifts and packages.

Booking and Intake at Calhoun County Correctional Facility

A local arrest, court remand, warrant booking, or contract-custody transfer may lead to intake at Calhoun County Correctional Facility. The county does not publish a detailed public booking manual, so the reliable local sequence is limited to supported steps: transport to the jail or Justice Center area, identity and charge or warrant verification, search and contraband screening, property handling, medical and mental-health screening, classification, housing assignment, account creation, phone access, and eventual roster update.

New bookings may not appear on the public roster immediately. The P2C catalog supports arrest-date sorting and public profile fields, but it is not a promise of real-time status. If a family member, attorney, or bondsperson cannot find the person online after a recent arrest, the inmate and detainee information line is the practical next step for lodged status and bond amount.

ICE Detainees at the County Facility

ICE lists the same physical facility as Calhoun County Correctional Center at 185 E. Michigan Street in Battle Creek under the Detroit Field Office. For information about an ICE detainee housed there, ICE lists 313-771-6601 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Immigration custody should also be searched through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System when enough identifying information is available.

The matched screenshot from the ICE detention-facility page for Calhoun County Correctional Center confirms that ICE uses a slightly different facility name for the same Battle Creek detention address.

Calhoun County's FOIA guidance says ICE detainee records remain ICE records even when the detainee is housed locally, so immigration detention records should be requested through ICE FOIA rather than Calhoun County's general records portal.

Programs, Medical Care, and Reentry Services

The county lists 24-hour NCCHC-accredited medical care, food service, religious support, laundry, counseling, and GED education among facility support services. Community Corrections adds programs and supervision paths such as jail programs coordination, Pretrial Services, Community Re-entry, drug and alcohol testing, intensive supervision, tether monitoring, the START program, and jail diversion coordination.

Recently released people with an active felony case are directed by Community Corrections to report to Pretrial Services or Community Corrections within 24 hours of release and bring bond paperwork. That is a post-release supervision detail, not a roster function, but it is important for anyone using the facility page to understand what may happen after a local jail release.
