Central Michigan Corrections Facility, MI

Got visitation questions for Central Michigan Corrections Facility? Call or email the Michigan Department of Corrections during public inquiry hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Jenni Riehle is the MDOC Public Information Officer for departmental and media requests about facility operations. Most Michigan facilities now handle visits through video systems—either onsite kiosks or remote internet sessions—so expect appointment-based scheduling. These visits are recorded and monitored, and breaking the rules can end your visit and affect future privileges. You'll need to register and get approved before scheduling, and bring a valid government-issued photo ID for check-in. Confirm the exact scheduling windows, technical requirements, and booking steps before you set anything up.

You have several ways to stay in touch with someone at Central Michigan Corrections Facility: phone calls, video visits (remote or on-site), tablet messaging with photos, and electronic mail. Most options run through approved third-party vendors. That means registering and getting approved as an authorized visitor, then setting up a prepaid or receiving account to accept calls or schedule video visits. Non-legal phone calls and video visits are routinely recorded and monitored; attorney communications may be handled differently. If your loved one has approved tablet access, you can exchange screened messages, photos, and voice notes—vendors set the fees and content rules. Got a problem with OTIS information? Email Michigan's Office of Public Information at correctionsinfo@michigan.gov for data errors, or the MDOC webmaster at mdocwebmaster@michigan.gov for technical issues.

Looking for someone connected to Central Michigan Corrections Facility? Start with OTIS, Michigan's public search tool. It covers people currently or previously under Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) jurisdiction or supervision—including prison, parole, probation, interstate transfers, and certain escapees. OTIS only shows offenders who've been under MDOC jurisdiction within the last three years. Records stay on OTIS for three years after discharge unless a conviction is set aside or expunged. Some convictions won't appear when Michigan statutes prohibit public disclosure. Clicking an MCL number on OTIS takes you to the statute. Since OTIS is provided without warranty, confirm key details with MDOC, Michigan State Police, or the court file. Report inaccuracies to correctionsinfo@michigan.gov; technical issues go to mdocwebmaster@michigan.gov. If OTIS shows nothing, try county jail rosters and other custody-status notification systems.

For statewide questions or policy issues connected to Central Michigan Corrections Facility, start with MDOC central offices at Grandview Plaza, 206 E. Michigan Ave., P.O. Box 30003, Lansing, MI 48909. Central offices handle broader MDOC topics—questions about a specific person go to the facility where they're housed. Phone and email inquiries are taken Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Jenni Riehle is the Public Information Officer and a good contact for media or policy questions. Before calling, check OTIS for custody status and have the person's full name and booking or ID number ready. For routine local matters, the county sheriff or court may be the right contact.
