About the Iosco County Jail
The Iosco County Jail is operated as part of the Iosco County Sheriff’s Office. The facility is in Tawas City, Michigan. This facility has been serving this community for more than 50 years. The jail has a rated capacity of 63 beds and provides inmates with the best supervision possible.
The jail administrator, Captain Brian Golden, and his highly trained professional staff of four Corporals and nine Correction Officer’s provide the safety and security of this facility and treat all with respect and dignity. They strive daily to assure that each inmate is in a safe and healthy environment. We do not tolerate harassment of inmates by anyone, and the welfare of the inmate is foremost.
Incoming inmates are read the “Contraband Statement” and anyone who is found to be in possession of illegal drugs, cell phones, or weapons after the statement is read will face a 5-year felony charge, beyond their original charge.
Inmates are allowed out-of-cell activities once a week. Inmates can attend church and bible study, GED classes, AA programs, Sheriff’s work program, and any future programs. Inmates must be eligible or meet necessary program requirements.
