Iron County 72-Hour Feed Status
The official Iron County Jail/Corrections and Sheriff's pages did not contain a rolling three-day release view on July 24, 2026. Searches also found no official Michigan Iron County link documenting fields, update cadence, photo use, or online retention. The prominent “recent bookings” pages for Iron County belong to Utah. Cedar City, area code 435, ironsheriff.net, and Utah branding are not sources for Crystal Falls.
This negative finding is dated. A public feed could be added later, so begin at the official Iron County jail page and check for a new county link. If none appears, call 906-875-0651. Give a clear three-day span and ask whether each person was booked during it, whether the person remains held, and, if not, when and how Iron County custody ended.
Reconstruct Iron County Three-Day Releases
A 72-hour inquiry is best handled as a dated event log. Write down the beginning and end of the range in Central Time, the time zone published by Iron County Trial Court. Then keep the jail answer, court event, VINE event, and receiving-agency result separate. These systems describe different stages and may update at different times.
- Set the exact three-day range, including dates and Central Time boundaries.
- Call Iron County Correctional Facility and ask about current custody, release time, and transfer status.
- Search MiCOURT in both the 95B District Court and 41st Circuit Court as the case requires.
- Review MI-VINE for a participating-agency custody event during the range.
- Check OTIS only if the court or jail indicates MDOC custody or supervision.
- Request the release record with the same date range when documentary proof is needed.
District Court entries can show bond, misdemeanor disposition, or preliminary felony action. Circuit Court records can show felony judgment, time served, probation, or commitment to MDOC. A signed order explains authority but may precede physical exit. The jail's release timestamp documents when processing ended.
The Iron County 24-Hour Release List is the better path for a same-day check that does not need a multi-day reconstruction.
Iron County 72-Hour Record Fields
No public Iron County table exists to quote. A useful three-day report must instead be built from maintained records. Ask for the native booking/release entry rather than a new custom list, since Michigan FOIA does not require the county to create a compilation. The request can cover all responsive release sheets in a narrow range if the description is clear, though names or booking numbers make matching more reliable.
| Requested field | Use across the three-day window |
|---|---|
| Name and identifiers | Separates similar names and repeat bookings |
| Booking number | Ties each exit to one custody episode |
| Admission and release times | Places the event inside or outside the range |
| Court and case number | Connects the jail event to its legal record |
| Release authority or type | Shows the maintained reason or code |
| Transfer destination | Separates community release from continued custody |
| Booking photograph | Provides the source image if held and releasable |
Request a code legend if “REL,” “TRN,” or another short label appears. The research does not establish which codes Iron County uses, so no local abbreviation should be guessed. A booking record's planned date also must not be treated as the final event. Holds, warrants, amended orders, transport, and new cases can change it.
Note: The same person may have more than one booking event, so match the booking number and case as well as the name.
Iron County Weekend Release Checks
A three-day span often crosses office schedules even though custody operations continue. The Iron County Sheriff's operation is staffed around the clock, but that does not establish fixed release hours. Trial Court publishes weekday hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Central. Court closing time is not the jail's release deadline, and no official Iron County weekend-release rule or set processing hour was found.
For a Friday-through-Monday question, note when the court order was entered, when staff received it, when any bond condition was met, and when the jail recorded the physical exit. A holiday or transport arrangement can separate these points. MI-VINE may send a reported change after an agency update, but it should not replace the release sheet for an exact time.
A person transferred during the weekend can leave the local facility while remaining confined. If MDOC accepted the person, OTIS becomes the state path. If federal authorities received the person, use the federal docket and USMS context before relying on BOP. If an immigration handoff is documented, use the ICE locator within its limited coverage.
Build the range from dated facts rather than assuming a rolling list would have captured every event. A person booked late Friday and released early Monday can cross several calendar dates while spending less than three full days in custody. Another person may receive a Friday order but leave after later processing. Record the time zone beside each timestamp, because an online state or federal system may not present time in the same way as the local court. If two sources conflict, note when each was checked and ask the agency that physically held the person for its maintained exit entry. That approach preserves the wider-window purpose without turning an estimate into an official Iron County release time.
Request Iron County Three-Day Records
Send a focused written request through the Iron County FOIA process when phone and online checks do not settle the range. Coordinator Mary Dalpra is listed at mdalpra@ironmi.org, 2 South Sixth Street, Suite 7, Crystal Falls, MI 49920, and 906-875-3301. The request may be delivered in person, by mail, fax, or email. Email and fax are treated as received on the next business day under county procedures.
Describe the start and end dates, the facility, known names, and the exact existing fields wanted. Ask for booking/release sheets or custody-history entries showing release time, authority, type, and destination. Electronic delivery can limit copy costs. Standard paper copies may not exceed ten cents per sheet, but qualifying labor, media, and mailing charges can apply. Ask for an itemized estimate and a cost ceiling.
A public body generally answers within five business days by granting, denying, partially granting, or issuing one extension for up to ten more business days. A denial must state its basis. Request reasonably segregable nonexempt content when only part of a record is withheld.
Iron County Release Data Gaps
Iron County's missing online history and OTIS's public expiration must not be blended. County absence proves no release event because no county roster was found to search. OTIS expressly excludes jail-only cases and generally retains a discharged MDOC profile for three years after supervision ends. An older OTIS miss can result from that policy even when an MDOC record once existed.
Retention schedules govern how long categories may be kept. They do not promise a public web display or prove that every requested field exists in one form. Ask Iron County which jail record series contains the release entry and which adopted schedule applies. For an old state case, use the sentencing court or a focused MDOC records request after OTIS visibility ends.
Note: Date each online check because a search result can change as agency data updates or a public visibility window closes.
Read Iron County Release Outcomes
The key question is not merely whether a name vanished. It is what happened next. Community release may follow bond, recognizance, dismissal, time served, probation, or another lawful order. Transfer to MDOC, another county, USMS, BOP, or immigration custody ends the Iron County stay but continues custody elsewhere.
| Evidence | What it supports | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Jail says not held | Present absence | Release time or destination |
| MiCOURT order | Legal authority | Physical exit time |
| MI-VINE event | Reported custody change | Certified historical detail |
| OTIS parole status | State-prison exit to supervision | Final MDOC discharge |
| Jail release sheet | Maintained local exit event | Freedom from every other custodian |
