Crawford County Jail
General Information
The Crawford County Corrections Center currently has a capacity of 53 beds. The jail houses pre-trial detainees and prisoners sentenced to one year or less. Persons who are arrested by any agency in our county are lodged within the Crawford County Jail in Grayling. The jail houses minimum to maximum security inmates, and inmate workers to include male, and females. The jail has a state of the art surveillance and cell door locking system needed to maintain the many levels of security to ensure employee, public and inmate safety.
In addition to housing prisoners on violations of state statutes, we also house inmates from time to time for the Immigration and customs enforcement, outside counties, and the Michigan Department of Corrections on a temporary basis. Agencies who house prisoners from outside our county pay for each day the subject is housed, and those funds are turned over to the County Treasurer for general fund revenue.
Many programs at the Crawford County Jail help to assist in providing counseling services and the skills necessary to help reduce recidivism. Some of these programs include:
- Mental Health
- Community Corrections (does DBT/CBT/seeking safety classes to those who qualify)
- Jail Ministry / Religious Volunteers / Church Services
- Alcoholics Anonymous
- Veterans Justice Outreach Program (V.A.)
