The county FOIA page says courts are not FOIA public bodies, county and sheriff offices do not maintain statewide criminal-history records, and ICE detainee records remain ICE records.
For public custody and record searches, choose the system that matches the type of record or agency custody involved.
- For someone currently held in the county jail, start with jail inmate records or the official P2C roster at calhouncountymi.policetocitizen.com/Inmates.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the county FOIA process if the image is not visible on the current roster.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the statewide MiCOURT search at micourt.courts.michigan.gov/case-search.
- For a facility-specific question, review the detention facility page for the Calhoun County Correctional Facility.
- For a sentenced Michigan prisoner, use MDOC OTIS at mdocweb.state.mi.us/otis2, not the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP locator at bop.gov/inmateloc or ICE ODLS at locator.ice.gov/odls. Calhoun County's FOIA page says ICE detainee records remain ICE records.
- For custody notifications, use VINELink. No Calhoun County, Michigan sheriff custody app was found in the research materials.
