This is one of three adult jails in the area. Wayne County operates the largest jail system in the…read moreState of Michigan. In addition to Baird, there is the Old Wayne County Jail and the William Dickerson Detention Facility. This jail is newer and in some ways, cleaner, than others. But it has many of the problems that are prevelent in other urban jails. As a social worker I occassionally visit detention facilities and, frankly, I've seen better. The process for visits is very chaotic and traumatizing to both the inmates and the family members. Staff are rude to visitors, professionals (like myself) who are entering the facility on business, and even to each other. It's hard to find visitng hours for this facility, so I'll paste them in here. Monday: Last names starting with A through H (7:30 am until 10:30 am) Tuesday : Last names starting with A through H (6:00 pm until 9:00 pm) Wednesday: Last names starting with I through Q (7:30 am until 10:30 am) Thursday: Last names starting with I through Q (6:00 pm until 9:00 pm) Friday: Last names starting with R through Z (7:30 am until 10:30 am AND 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm Saturday: Minor child visitation with approval and by appointment only. Children often get arbitrarily turned away from visits, even when they already have approval and have an appointment.

Even doing an 8am appointment is not a bad idea since you seem to get in and out within 30 minutes. Make sure to have cash or card for your license payment which can range from 20-30 dollars.

I won't lie here, this building is disgusting. It stinks, it's dirty, the elevator had seen better days. I questioned myself about us waiting for him outside, but we went along anyway. Our business took but a few minutes, however, our first impression of this place remained. It's just NASTY. I have no comment on service or personnel. I would not care to ever have to go there again, but unfortunately this is the building we were assigned to. If people could go to any social security office, and I'm not sure of the reasoning behind why we can't, this one would close.

Each visit over the past 7 years has resulted in a 30 to 45 minute session, from walking in the front door until I depart. The employees are always courteous, and immediately know my business when I mention "Form 2290". They are very thorough, and caught me trying to over pay them by $5 dollars during my recent visit. In contrast, the IRS office in Flint, MI was an unpleasant experience last year when I visited for much the same business reason. Their waiting area was not adequate for the number of people seeking assistance, and I heard many of the customers complaining that it was a repeat visit because the 1st time they were not taken care of. My visit in Flint took nearly 2 hours, while my actual interface with the customer service was a mere 10 minutes. As well, even the Michigan Secretary of State offices would be hard pressed to match the quality of service offered at this downtown location. Yes, the Detroit IRS office is my best bet, by far!

First you are directed to the Courtesy Desk, the staff go over your pre-filled form and existing passport, if all checks out you are given a number and sent back to the waiting area. The waiting time obviously depend on how many people are applying on the day, but the line for those with pre-filled forms moves much faster; you go up when it's your turn, answer the questions if there is any, pay the fee and you are done and out.
