Roscommon County Inmate Search
Roscommon County has online inmate lookup available. The jail and inmate information page on the county website provides details about who is currently in custody. This is a useful starting point for checking on someone's status without having to call.
You can also use the statewide VINE system to search for Roscommon County inmates. VINE shows custody status and lets you register for notifications when an inmate's status changes. It is free and available 24 hours a day. The county website and VINE together give the public decent access to basic booking information.
For actual mugshot photos and complete booking records, a FOIA request is still needed. Michigan's Freedom of Information Act covers jail records as public documents. Contact the Sheriff's Office to start the process. Include the person's full name and any identifying details you have.

Depositing Money for Inmates

The jail does not accept money through the mail. Letters and pictures that arrive by mail will be copied and delivered to the inmate, but any cash or money orders included will not be processed. If you want to send funds, use JailATM online or the lobby kiosk. There is no other way to get money on an inmate's account.
Inmates can use their commissary funds to purchase soft cover books, puzzles, and games, but these must be bought from an online distributor and mailed directly to the jail. White undergarments must be purchased either at the jail or through the commissary system.
