This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record.
Official Saginaw Record Contacts
The right contact depends on whether the person was held in the county jail, committed to MDOC, supervised after release, or held under federal or immigration authority. Saginaw County does not publish a verified browser list of recent jail releases, so a named inquiry or records request is often necessary.
Saginaw County Jail
Saginaw County Jail
311 S. Harrison Street
Saginaw, MI 48602
Sheriff Administration: 989-790-5400
Jail Shift Commander: 989-790-5432
The Sheriff’s official pages do not publish release-processing hours. Call before traveling. The jail page prints a separate automated number with an 859 area code that conflicts with the official local numbers, so verify it through Sheriff Administration before use.
Saginaw County Release Records
FOIA Coordinator / Chair
Saginaw County Board of Commissioners

Saginaw, MI 48602
Email: boc@saginawcounty.com
Phone: 989-790-5267
Fax: 989-790-5569
A written request can seek an existing booking card, incarceration record, inmate-release form, release date and type, transfer notation, property acknowledgment, or booking photograph. Under Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., the county generally responds within five business days and may use one written extension of up to ten business days. Current county policy and an agency estimate control any fee.
Michigan Corrections Records
MDOC FOIA Coordinator
P.O. Box 30003
Lansing, MI 48909
Email: MDOC-FOIA@michigan.gov
Phone: 517-335-4194

Use MDOC for a state prisoner’s parole order, discharge certificate, time review, available photograph, or other releasable sentence record. Saginaw Correctional Facility answers general facility questions at 989-695-9880 or mdoc-saginaw-public@michigan.gov, but OTIS and MDOC records establish parole or discharge.
