Michigan Inmate Search

Michigan
Updated on: January 18, 2024

The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) operates all of Michigan's state prisons, as well as two county jails – one located in Muskegon County and one in Jackson County. To find someone who is being held by the MDOC, individuals can utilize the DOC's public online offender tracking information system. This search tool allows users to search by name, sex, race, age, MDOC number, offender status or even marks, scars or Tattoos and displays results that include demographic information, arrest details, mugshots, charges and court dates.  

For those wishing to locate someone incarcerated at a county jail in Michigan, local sheriff offices may offer an online inmate search feature on their websites. This feature works similarly to the DOC's public online search tool: users enter either a name or booking number into the provided search bar and are displayed basic demographic information about current inmates along with their court status and release date if applicable.   

Along with these online resources for locating someone held in correctional facilities within Michigan, many counties also provide additional methods for finding out where inmates are located. For example, Bay County has set up a hotline (989) 895-4050 which responds to inquiries regarding current inmates such as address/location of incarceration and release date if applicable.  

All of these resources combine together nicely allowing anyone interested enough in locating someone being held within any part of Michigan plenty of options when it comes time to perform an inmate search.
