Why This Resource Exists
Michigan law permits access to many public records, but the right source changes with a person’s custody status. The Clare County Sheriff’s Office creates local jail booking records and any identification photo taken at intake. The Michigan Department of Corrections publishes information and photos for qualifying people under state supervision, while courts hold the docket and final disposition after a charge. A written Freedom of Information Act request may be needed when nothing is posted online. This site organizes those official routes and explains their limits without copying records or displaying photographs.
