How to Contact an Inmate at Facility

Start with Macomb Township's main office line: 586-992-0710. Offices are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call during those hours and ask to be routed to the right department for inmate-related questions. For emergencies, call rather than text. The local 9-1-1 system is built for voice calls, and texting 9-1-1 is not available in most areas. Dial 9-1-1 and speak directly with a call taker.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Call 586-992-0710 during office hours (Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and ask to be directed to the correct contact for inmate communication.
• ✓ If your question is specifically about public records or a FOIA request, contact the Macomb Township FOIA Coordinator at 586-992-0710 x2237 or FOIA@macomb-mi.gov.

Before you visit, send paperwork, or rely on old information, take a minute to confirm the details that often change. Call the main line (586-992-0710) and verify you have the right department, any extension you were given, and current office hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). For records requests, make sure you're using the FOIA Coordinator's direct contact info: 586-992-0710 x2237 and FOIA@macomb-mi.gov. This ensures your question reaches the right office. If you're unsure whether texting 9-1-1 works from your location, assume it doesn't and call instead.
