Inmate Search
The Michigan Department of Correction hosts an online inmate locator database as a service to those wishing to locate an inmate. It should not be relied upon for totally accurate information.
Inmates can be searched for using their inmate number, which yields the most accurate results. Alternatively, inmates can be located by their last name. For narrower results, enter the inmate’s first and/or middle name. For all names, partial spellings will yield results.
Sending a Mail/Package
Inmates can be sent mail by anyone, although all incoming letters will be opened and inspected for contraband. Contraband can include anything besides up to ten plain pieces of paper and up to ten 8x10 inch photos. Send mail to:
Kinross Correctional Facility, 16770 South Watertower Drive, Kincheloe, MI, 49788
(Include Inmate's Name and number as well as last known housing)
An inmate’s number can be found using the inmate locator or by calling the Public Information Officer of the Kinross Correctional Facility at 906-495-2282.

Sending Money
There are several ways to send money to an inmate. Because Kinross Correctional Facility is a transitional facility, be sure to confirm that the inmate is still housed there before sending funds. One can use a lock box, which has no service fee and is the best way to send a money order, cashiers check or personal check. Another option is an electronic funds transfer (EFT), which is a paid service but also is the fastest way to send money (1-3 days.) Three EFT companies are used: GTL, JPay, and Keefe.
Finally, one can mail checks or money orders up to $999.99 but it could take up to one month for the funds to reach the inmate. Mail checks to:
Inmate’s Name
Housing Unit
16770 South Watertower Drive, Kincheloe, MI, 49788
Include the inmate’s name and number on the check. Also include the sender’s name and address on the face of the check or money order.
Phone Calls
While no one can call an inmate on the telephone, inmates can make outgoing phone calls. The Michigan Department of Correction utilizes the GTL system for phone calls, which allows family and friends to create prepaid accounts from which funds for the call will be taken for any received call. Inmates must have money to place a call. Calls are monitored.
Visiting Rules
Adult visitors must apply before visiting an inmate. Applications can be sent from the inmate to you. They will contain a questionnaire, which should be completed fully. Once you are approved, the inmate will be notified and they should notify you. Applications should be mailed back to the sergeant or lieutenant at:
Kinross Correctional Facility, 16770 South Watertower Drive, Kincheloe, MI, 49788
Most inmates have visitation rights, although there are different types of visits. Some are contact where the inmate can be with visitors in person. Others might be non-contact with a partition between people.
