What This Site Does
Michigan makes many jail and inmate records available to the public, but the records are split by agency. The Berrien County Sheriff's Office handles the adult jail roster for local custody. The Michigan Department of Corrections runs OTIS for sentenced state prisoners and supervision records. Federal and immigration custody use separate federal tools. This site brings those access points together with Berrien County facility information, visitation and mail pointers, mugshot-request context, and court-record routing.

Search Partners
Some pages include search boxes operated by third-party providers. Those providers control their own data, prices, account terms, and results. If a visitor signs up for a paid partner tool after using a search box, this site may receive a referral fee. Those fees help keep the public reference pages available without charging for the page content.
