Does anyone know about the wayne county jail procedures? (Detroit)?

Question

A friend of mines caught a gun charge so he went to court a couple of times and the last time he went they told him to come back 8/18/08 to turn his self in,he did but i have tried to call down there at the jails and they said they dont have him there so i dont know if he is still in a holding cell but i thought even if you are in aholding cell you would be in the system.help anyone i even did a inmate search through wayne county and also through otis.

Answer 1

Wayne is no different then Macomb, Oakland or any other MI jail. They should have info for him. Go down there and be persistant with them. You have to remember that your dealing with cops that have cop superiorty attitudes which allows themt treat everyone like trash. Be careful not to get tazed, this happened to a woman in Chicago recently when she started to complain while in the waiting room. I'm from Macomb Co. and have been in Mt. Clemens, Chesterfield, Clinton twp. and Traverse Co. Jails and was bailed out everytime without making a call.

Answer 2

Was this today?  He may not be entered into the computer yet.  He won't be in OTIS unless they sentence him.  If he turned himself in on 8/18/08 and he is still not listed at Wayne County, then he may have been released.  Also, are you sure you are giving them the correct spelling of his name? If you are off by one letter, then it won't show up.
