Where does family mail go now?
Since May 15, 2026, the county says non-legal mail must go to the person's name and inmate ID, St. Clair County Jail, MI, PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Mail sent elsewhere is rejected, and non-legal mail that breaks the rules is destroyed. Photos are the only enclosures, up to 10, on photo paper. Stamps, cash, checks, money orders, stickers and packages are barred. Legal mail goes to 1170 Michigan Rd, Port Huron, MI 48060. ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, still describes plain postcards with the last 4 digits of the A-number; ask at (810) 987-1700 whether those digits are needed.
How do I confirm someone is in the Port Huron jail?
The county runs an Inmate Lookup at inmates.stclaircounty.org, a useful local check, and the ICE Online Detainee Locator takes an A-number or a name with country of birth. Neither replaces a call: the locator can trail by 8 hours, and the county page does not say that ICE detainees appear in its lookup. Call (313) 771-6601 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with the date and country of birth. The line for Port Huron on the ICE facility list places no one here.
When can I visit, and how do I book?
Everyone registers at inmatesales.com and books at least 24 hours and up to 14 days ahead. ICE lists onsite visits Sunday through Thursday and remote visits daily, between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., except the 5 p.m. dinner hour. The county lists Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Check the booking site. All visitors need picture ID. Children under 17 need a parent or legal guardian and their birth certificate. Up to 3 people may visit, and children count. Arrive 45 minutes early. Visits are monitored and recorded.
How do I put money on someone's account?
The county uses TouchPay rather than the mail. Pay at TouchPayDirect.com, by phone at (866) 232-1899, or at the kiosk in the Sheriff's Office main lobby, which is open for drop-off Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You need the person's name and inmate ID, plus site ID 248060. Commissary is ordered by tablet, one order a week, due Sunday at 11 p.m. Calls cannot come in, so leave urgent messages at (810) 987-1700. The county's emergency desk is (810) 987-1720, for substantiated emergencies only.
Who deals with the case and the court?
ICE's Detroit office covers Michigan and takes case questions at Detroit.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov, though not Stay of Removal applications or Case Appeals. This jail is a televideo site of the Detroit Immigration Court on EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, but only the notice sets the hearing, so check it. Attorneys may visit daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Remote attorney sessions run 20 minutes for $12.99 through InmateSales and are not recorded. Read the bond hearing guide for release questions.
