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.
OTIS—Michigan's Offender Tracking Information System—is the fastest way to look up basic public details about someone under Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) jurisdiction. If the person you're searching for is housed in a Michigan prison like Michigan Reformatory, or is being supervised by MDOC, OTIS should show a matching record.
