Overview

Start your Michigan Reformatory inmate search by picking the right system: OTIS covers people under MDOC supervision, while county jail rosters and JailTracker handle local jail holds. Begin with a complete last name, then narrow results using first name, known aliases, date of birth, or booking date if you have it. Most county tools support optional filters, but last-name-first searches usually return matches fastest. Online listings update frequently and may lag behind real-time custody status—confirm important details with official sources before making plans. If someone doesn't appear online, they may be outside public search windows or excluded from disclosure. Sign up for custody-status notifications when available to get updates.
