Send Photos & Mail at Macomb County Jail

Overview

Communication at Macomb County Jail generally follows options common in Michigan jails: outbound phone calls, scheduled video visits, tablet messaging (often with photos), and electronic mail handled by third-party vendors. Non-legal phone calls and video visits are routinely recorded or monitored, while attorney communications may be handled differently. To receive calls, set up a prepaid or receiving account with the facility's phone vendor. The incarcerated person typically places outgoing calls as collect calls or from a prepaid or debit account. Video visits require creating a vendor account, getting approved as an authorized visitor, and scheduling through the vendor's portal or app. Tablet messages and photos are screened, and vendors set their own fees and content rules.
