Find anyone
held in Michigan.

A family-first locator for state prison, county jail, and youth facility records. No gatekeepers.

Public search launches Q2 2026. Until then, use the private intake route for launch notification or accessibility help.

Public search is not open yet. When it launches you will look someone up by name, MDOC number, or facility. Until then, a person answers every private intake message directly.

Messages go directly to the family-support address. No account, no search log.
