Montmorency County Jail Roster
The working roster for Montmorency County inmate records is the Alpena County JailTracker roster, because the Montmorency County Sheriff's Department jail information page says Montmorency inmates are housed at Alpena County Correctional Facility. Montmorency does not publish a separate current-inmate roster for an Atlanta jail, and the research did not confirm any separate Montmorency jail building that holds current detainees for public lookup. The custody search therefore begins with Alpena's official Corrections and Jail page and its Current Inmates link.
The Alpena roster is a current-custody tool. It is meant for people held at the county jail, including pretrial detainees, local sentenced misdemeanants, warrant holds, and people waiting for court action or transfer. It is not the place to search a Montmorency defendant who has already moved to a Michigan Department of Corrections prison, a federal prison, or an immigration detention facility. Those searches use MDOC OTIS, the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, or the ICE detainee locator.
The Alpena County Corrections and Jail hub is the official source page that points users to current inmates, bond, commissary, mail, location, and visits.
That hub matters because it connects Montmorency custody searches to the facility tools used after a person is lodged in Alpena.
Use Montmorency County JailTracker
The roster link runs through Public Safety Cloud and JailTracker for Alpena County. Static inspection of the live app showed that the public interface is configured as Alpena Co MI, allows current-offender listing, and does not require a name search before results can be returned. The live page may still ask for a name or CAPTCHA based on how the session loads, so users should be ready to search by last name and complete validation if it appears.
- Start with the Montmorency sheriff jail page to confirm that Montmorency County inmates are housed at Alpena County Correctional Facility.
- Open the Alpena Corrections and Jail page and choose Current Inmates, or open the JailTracker roster directly.
- If the roster displays a current list, browse it. If the search panel appears, enter a last name and add a first name only when needed.
- Use the released-days control only for recent-release searches if that field is visible in the live roster.
- Complete the CAPTCHA if the roster asks for image validation, then submit the search.
- Open View More or the expanded profile area to check booking date, booking number, facility, charges, holds, bond, image, and VINELink links when enabled.
For a person who does not appear, use the fallback chain before assuming the record does not exist. Call Alpena Corrections for current custody at 989-354-9830, Option 4. Call the Montmorency Sheriff's Office at 989-785-4238 or the Montmorency jail/corrections line at 989-785-2582 for local sheriff direction. For records that are not online, use the Montmorency sheriff FOIA process through the Records Department.
Montmorency County Roster Fields
The JailTracker field labels below come from the public app resources and the Alpena agency options endpoint reviewed in the research. They should be read as verified interface fields, not as a promise that every field will appear in every browser session or on every inmate profile. Jail staff and vendor configuration can control which search options, images, charges, and released records are visible to the public.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of Search | Dropdown/select | Unspecified | App labels expose Type of Search, SearchType, and released-days logic. |
| First Name | Text | Optional or unspecified | Use to narrow common names after checking the last name. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional or unspecified | Most practical starting point for a named inmate search. |
| Released in Last | Numeric or dropdown-like | Optional or unspecified | The app resources include a default 7Days value for recent releases. |
| CAPTCHA | Image/text validation | Yes when shown | Labels include Validate, Get New Captcha, and incorrect-code messaging. |
| Search | Button | Not applicable | Runs the roster query. |
The official roster screenshot could not be used from the success manifest because the capture was flagged as a small failed file, so the page relies on the verified app fields instead of showing an unreliable roster image.
Montmorency County Inmate Profile
A JailTracker profile can show more than a name. The research found public app labels for result rows, offender details, images, charges, cases, holds, special fields, and VINELink routing. A full live sample inmate profile was not captured, so the inventory below sticks to the verified field labels and describes what they normally identify in the roster context.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Last, First, Middle Name | Name fields in the roster result row. |
| Book Date | The date associated with the jail booking record. |
| Release Date | A release date when one is posted, often blank for current custody. |
| Booking Number | The jail booking identifier used for the custody event. |
| Jacket | A JailTracker person or custody identifier label. |
| Facility | The listed holding facility, important because Montmorency inmates are housed at Alpena. |
| Offender Image | A booking image area when the facility enables public image display. |
| Charges and Cases | Charge descriptions, court type, offense date, court date, case number, counts, and charge status when enabled. |
| Bond | Bond type and bond amount fields tied to court documentation received by corrections staff. |
| Holds and VINE | Outside holds, special fields, and custody-notification links when visible. |
Bond data can lag behind the arrest because Alpena's bond page says information is updated as court paperwork and documentation are received. For the court case behind a charge, use the court-record path rather than treating the jail roster as the final charging record.
Montmorency County Access Channels
Current jail custody is only one access channel. Montmorency County inmate records can also involve local sheriff records, in-person questions, public-record requests, state corrections, federal custody, immigration custody, and notification services. Use the county roster first for current jail status, then move to the agency that controls the record type.
| Record or Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current Montmorency jail custody | Alpena Current Inmates/JailTracker | Pretrial detainees, local jail sentences, current holds. |
| Phone confirmation | Alpena Corrections at 989-354-9830, Option 4 | Custody, visits, bond, mail, and facility questions. |
| Local sheriff records | Montmorency sheriff FOIA | Arrest reports, booking records, and public-safety records not online. |
| State prison or supervision | MDOC OTIS | Prisoners, parolees, probationers, absconders, and recent discharges. |
| Victim notification | Michigan VINELink | Custody-status alerts and case information notifications. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Immigration detainees by A-number or biographical search. |
The MDOC OTIS search page is useful only after a person is in the Michigan corrections system or under MDOC supervision.
OTIS fills the state-prison gap that the county jail roster cannot cover.
Montmorency County Jail Contact
For facility matters, the main jail contact is Alpena County Correctional Facility. For Montmorency sheriff records, use the Montmorency Sheriff's Office and Records Department. The split is important: Alpena handles the physical jail functions for Montmorency inmates, while Montmorency remains the local source for sheriff records and FOIA requests tied to Montmorency arrests.

Montmorency County Visit Schedule
Visitation for Montmorency County inmates follows Alpena County Correctional Facility rules. The facility uses video visitation. Onsite visits occur by kiosk while the lobby is open, and remote visits are available daily through the facility's video system. Visitors need a state or government photo ID, must follow dress rules, and may be searched. Visits are non-contact, recorded, and monitored.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Cost / Length | Main Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remote/offsite video | Monday-Sunday 6:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. | $0.20 per minute, purchased in 30-minute increments | One remote visit per inmate per day. |
| Onsite video | Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m., excluding holidays | Free, 25 minutes | One onsite visit per week, ID required. |
| Attorney visits | Not published in reviewed pages | Not published | Contact the facility for legal-visit handling. |
The Alpena visits page publishes the schedule, visitor ID rules, dress rules, holiday closures, monitoring notice, and video-visit limits.
Those rules control Montmorency visits because the inmate is physically housed at the Alpena facility.
Montmorency County Booking Records
A Montmorency arrest can lead to lodging at Alpena County Correctional Facility when the person is not cited and released. Intake creates the jail record: identity details, booking date, booking number or jacket, arresting agency, warrant or hold notes, property handling, and bond status if documentation has arrived. The Alpena bond page says each booking carries a $12 booking fee and a $10 warrant fee when an arrest warrant was processed or served.
Booking is not the same as conviction. A roster charge may be an arrest or booking charge, while the formal court case can later show amended, reduced, dismissed, or bound-over charges. For court events after booking, use Montmorency Courts or MiCOURT. For current custody, use the roster. For a booking record or arrest report that is not public online, submit a written Montmorency sheriff FOIA request to the Records Department.
Note: Bond data may update after court paperwork reaches corrections staff, so check the roster again before posting money.
Montmorency County State Federal ICE
MDOC OTIS, BOP, and ICE each cover a different population. OTIS contains Michigan prisoners, parolees, probationers, absconders, and discharged offenders within the limits described by MDOC. BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present and can search by name or register number. ICE ODLS covers immigration detention and uses either an A-number search or a biographical search. None of these systems replaces the Alpena JailTracker roster for a current Montmorency County jail inmate.
VINELink is different from all three. Michigan VINE is a free and confidential notification service for custody status and case information. It is useful when a victim, witness, or family member needs alerts about custody changes, but it should be paired with the official roster or agency locator for the underlying record.
The Michigan VINELink portal is the statewide custody-notification channel referenced by the jail roster resources and state materials.
VINELink helps track custody changes, while the roster and official locators identify the agency currently holding the person.
| System | Covers | Does Not Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Alpena JailTracker | Current county-jail custody for Alpena and housed Montmorency inmates | State prison, federal prison, immigration detention after transfer |
| MDOC OTIS | Michigan prisoners, parolees, probationers, absconders, and recent discharges | People held only in a county jail |
| BOP locator | Federal prisoners from 1982 to present | County pretrial jail custody and most federal pretrial situations |
| ICE ODLS | Immigration detainees | Criminal jail rosters and mugshot galleries |
Montmorency County Sheriff App
No official Montmorency County Sheriff's Office app or Alpena County Sheriff's Office app was confirmed from the agency pages reviewed. Michigan Sheriff Connect appears in app stores, but the research did not verify official Montmorency or Alpena participation. Do not rely on an app for the Montmorency roster, warrant list, or mugshots unless a later agency page confirms it. The official web channels remain JailTracker, Montmorency sheriff FOIA, MDOC OTIS, VINELink, BOP, and ICE.
