The official "Ingham county jail Inmate guide"

If you've landed here from Google or the like, this may not be the post you want.  Please start reading Ingham County Jail Tales from the very beginning.

This post publishes for you the official guide for inmates at the Ingham County Jail. The words are what the ICJ publishes in a brochure handed to each inmate upon incarceration. (Well, actually, the Jail often fails to give a new inmate a printed copy of their Guide upon incarceration, but who's counting?)

For some reason, the ICJ treats their inmate guide as confidential. They won't give it out to friends and family, and it's not available on the Sheriff's Web site. You would think that an enlightened ICJ would want everyone -- inmate, friend, family, lawyer, probation officer, judge, public -- to all be on the same page. Much of the inspiration for this blog is to redress the ICJ's failure to provide complete information to the inmate, and to all who surround him or her.

Since the ICJ refuses to publish their Inmate Guide in paper or online, I'm providing it here. Note that in addition I've tried to provide other important information that the Guide fails to offer. If elsewhere on this blog I've gotten anything wrong. or omitted something you need to know, please tell me. If the ICJ has failed to provide information you seek, let the SHeriff's office know.
