Money can be deposited into an inmate’s account at any time, during or after business hours, or by mail. We DO NOT accept checks for deposit into inmate accounts, only cash, money order, or certified check. All inmates that are considered “indigent” (having less than $2.00 in their account for 14 consecutive days) and have used all items in their intake kit, can order necessary items (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, paper, envelopes, etc.) weekly thru commissary and will be billed to their account.

Inmates that have not yet been sentenced are NOT charged housing fees. Once sentenced, they are charged $40 for their first day and $10 for every day after until they are released. Inmates that qualify and are granted work release are charged $40 for their first day and $15 for every day after until they are released. Inmates that are sentenced thru Leelanau County Courts and are promoted to “inmate worker” status in the jail are relieved of paying further housing fees as long as they are on “inmate worker” status. Those inmates that are boarded from other counties are subject to the billing and rules from their boarding county.

| Inmate Outdate & Release Information |
Top |
|
|
Once an inmate is sentenced on all charges they are given an outdate. The outdate is calculated using all of the inmates time served on the charge (if applicable) and Sheriff's good time, which is one (1) day off for every six (6) days served (5 days per month). Sheriff's good time can be taken away if necessary (for write-ups, fighting, etc..). Inmates that are boarded from other counties are given an outdate by their county, NOT ours. If there are concerns with an outdate for a boarded inmate, his/her family/friends should contact the county in which they were sentenced. Inmate released from the Leelanau County Jail will be done at 6:00 a.m. Inmates boarded from other counties are subject to the release rules from their boarding county.

All inmates at the Leelanau County Jail will have access to medical treatment. All inmates will have a physical (if they will be in custody for more than 14 days), free of charge, by the jail's medical staff and can request to be seen if they choose to do so, but will be charged accordingly. Any inmate needing medications will first see the nurse or doctor on staff and medications will be ordered by the Leelanau County Jail Medical Authority.
