Wyoming Overview
Kent County Correctional Facility and Wyoming Inmates
Wyoming residents who are arrested go to the Kent County Correctional Facility at 703 Ball Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. The Kent County Sheriff's Office operates the facility. It is the only ACA-accredited adult county jail in Michigan, meaning it meets standards set by the American Correctional Association. That accreditation covers staffing, programming, safety, and inmate rights. The facility handles both pre-trial detainees and people serving county sentences.
The Wyoming Department of Public Safety is located at 2300 DeHoop Ave SW, Wyoming, MI 49509, and can be reached at (616) 530-7314 for questions about initial arrests. Once a person is booked into the Kent County system, the Kent County Sheriff's Office handles all custody matters. The two agencies work closely since Wyoming sits in the middle of Kent County.
Anyone sentenced to a Michigan state prison term will be transferred out of Kent County to an MDOC facility. At that point, the county roster will no longer show them.
Wyoming Inmate Population Online Search Tools
Kent County provides two online tools for searching inmate population records. The first is the Web Jail Viewer at eisjailviewer.kentcountymi.gov. This tool shows the current inmate roster for the Kent County Correctional Facility. You can search by name and see booking status, charges, and other details for people currently in custody.
The second option is the Kent County inmate lookup page at kentcountymi.gov. Both tools pull from the same underlying system, so results are consistent. Use whichever is easier to navigate. If you are not sure which tool to start with, the jail viewer is usually faster for a quick name search.
Bookings typically appear within a few hours. If someone was arrested recently and is not showing up yet, try again later or call the Kent County Correctional Facility directly at (616) 632-6300.
Note: Both online tools cover only Kent County custody. State prison inmates are in a completely separate database.
