Overview
Start with Michigan's Offender Tracking Information System (OTIS). It provides public information on people currently or previously under Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) jurisdiction or supervisionâincluding prison and community supervision details like parole, probation, transfers, and escape/abscond status. OTIS only displays offenders who've been under MDOC supervision within the last three years. Older records won't appear. Entries can also be removed if a conviction is set aside or expunged, or once three years pass since discharge. Because online listings change quickly, don't rely on OTIS alone for time-sensitive decisions. Confirm key details like location, status, or release date with MDOC, MSP ICHAT, or the court file. If OTIS information is wrong, contact MDOC's Office of Public Information and Communications. For technical issues, use the webmaster email.
