805 West 32nd Street, MI North Lake Correctional Facility View
North Lake Correctional Facility is a secure correctional facility located at 805 West 32nd Street in Baldwin, Michigan. It has been operated by The GEO Group under government contracts and is generally used to house adult inmates, primarily sentenced individuals rather than local pretrial detainees. Unlike a county jail, its role is to provide contracted correctional housing and custody services rather than serve as the main booking facility for local arrests. For local arrests in Lake County or nearby jurisdictions, custody may first be handled through the county jail or the arresting agency before any transfer to another facility.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at North Lake Correctional Facility
To find an inmate, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or custody search. Inmate rosters typically list the person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information when available, and current custody status. Records do not always appear right away after an arrest or transfer because intake, identification, classification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the arresting agency for guidance. For people arrested locally, also check the county jail roster, since local detainees may be booked there before any transfer.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at North Lake Correctional Facility?

How does the commissary work?

How is bail set and how do I post bond at North Lake Correctional Facility?
Bail is usually set by a court, not by the facility. Because this facility generally houses contracted or sentenced inmates, bond questions should be directed to the court or county jail that handled the arrest or case.
What happens during the intake process at North Lake Correctional Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review paperwork, assess medical and security needs, and assign housing. Records may take several hours to appear online, so the inmate may not be searchable immediately after arrival or transfer.
