The Sheriff’s Office of Tuscola County is responsible for the care and managing of the 110-bed Tuscola County Correctional Facility. The jail is a tan, single story concrete building they share with the Sheriff, and is located at the corner of E. Sherman and Court Streets in Caro, Michigan.
Inmates of Tuscola County may have been arrested on a felony or misdemeanor charge and will remain incarcerated at this location until they can make bail, have their trial, or finish serving a short sentence.
During incarceration there are meals, medical care, mental health services, recreation, education, and social opportunities for all inmates, with access to mail, phone calls, and visits with their friends and family who are outside of the facility.
Privileges such as visits and phone calls may be suspended for short periods due to behavior concerns or breaking rules, however they will be reinstated once a set short period of time has passed.
In order to support an inmate there is the opportunity to offer financial support by funding their commissary account or their phone account to accept phone calls, to send and receive mail through the post office to:
Inmate's Full Name & Inmate ID#

... and to visit via video either onsite or remotely. Any mail that is received must be through the post office and will be opened upon arrival by the staff to inspect and remove any contraband, letters with no return address will not be delivered, and any illegal items will be removed.
Visits are scheduled online and this will also allow access to the visits themselves, either remotely or for free at the kiosk in the jail lobby. Inmates get one free onsite visit each week, for up to 30 minutes.
To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Tuscola County Correctional Facility, call the jail’s booking line at 989-673-8161.
There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.
Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.
If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.
Tuscola County Correctional Facility Booking Roster
After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Tuscola County for booking.
Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.
Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Tuscola County and other Michigan and USA jurisdictions.
If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.
It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.
The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.
During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.
Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.
At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.
If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Tuscola County Correctional Facility will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.
Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.
Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.
If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Tuscola County Correctional Facility?
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use an Express Account self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Tuscola County Correctional Facility uses Express Account to process all online deposits to an inmate's account.

Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.
Call the Tuscola County Correctional Facility first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
