Life On the Inside
Up until 1969, the old Macomb County Jail which could keep 100 inmates locked up proved to be too small so a new jail was built. The current version of the Macomb County Jail can now hold double the amount of inmates. Other additions for a work release bunk house increase the capacity even further.

Inmates are given access to educational programs which can let them earn a GED or prepare them for work through vocational training. There are also classes offered to help with life skills like parenting, anger management and substance abuse.

Aside from the commonality of actually serving time, every former inmate can bond over the lousy food they were served. "Lousy" in this case is based on the reviews of former inmates. Although the 3 meals a day might not hold a lot of appeal, every inmate is given the opportunity to buy items from the commissary.

Inmates are allowed to play cards, watch TV or sit around and chat when lockdown conditions aren't happening. When that goes down, each inmate is confined to their cell or bed for the duration.

Good Behavior Policy
In the Macomb County Jail trouble on an inmate's record is referred to as an "occurrence." When an inmate has an occurrence they put any reduction of their sentence at risk. The basic level of that reduction is two days off per week.

Visit and Telephone Policy
Visits are permitted at the jail throughout the week from 1 to 9. Each inmate is allowed a single weekly visit of up to 30 minutes provided they didn't earn an "occurrence." If an inmate has their visitation revoked it is up to them to inform their visitor.

Visitors should allow ample time to keep the scheduled appointment and be properly checked into the jail. This check in consists of reviewing the ID and a possible search.

There are phones situated in each other housing units that prisoners are granted access to during the day. The inmates can only make outgoing collect calls and all the normal charges would apply to each call.
