Why This Resource Exists
Michigan law makes many government records available, but release information is split among several custodians. The Cass County Sheriff holds jail booking and release records. The Michigan Department of Corrections operates OTIS, which can display prison, parole, probation, and recent discharge information. State field staff supervise many people after release, while the Federal Bureau of Prisons maintains its own locator for federal sentences. This site organizes those official routes, explains their limits, and describes how to ask for a record when no public list exists.
Release Resources Collected Here
The content follows the custody system that created the record. Readers can use:
- the home page's complete Cass County released-inmate search and release-record request path;
- focused help with a projected release date, a VINELink check, and parole and probation;
- a page for each locally relevant jail, prison-release facility, and supervision office, with verified contact details;
- plain instructions for MI-VINE, MDOC OTIS, Cass Courts, and official records requests; and
- booking-photo request guidance and the response timing permitted by Michigan FOIA.
Limits of a Private Site
This is an independently operated reference site. It has no affiliation with Cass County, any Michigan sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other government agency.
- It cannot release, detain, or transfer a person.
- It cannot post bond, arrange visits, or send funds.
- It cannot give legal advice or represent a party.
- It cannot promise that a fee, address, or phone number has not changed.
Only the responsible sheriff, jail, court, or corrections agency can confirm custody, charges, or release. Official information must come from that source.
Third-Party Search Partners
Some pages contain search tools supplied by outside providers. Those providers set their own prices and control their results. If a tool leads to a paid enrollment, this site may receive a referral fee that helps keep the public pages available. The site does not set the provider's charges or determine what its search returns.
