Overview

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.
