This is a private reference site, not a Crawford County or Michigan government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or obtain an official record for you. Contact the responsible agency directly.
Crawford Jail and Record Offices
Use the contact that matches the question. A live custody check belongs with the jail. A durable sheriff release record belongs in a county FOIA request. Court clerks handle case documents, while MDOC handles state correctional records and supervision.

Choose the relevant path:
- For a released person or sheriff record, use the complete release search and request path.
- For state or local supervision, use parole and probation.
- For a same-day custody change, review the 24-hour release fallback.
- For timing, use projected release date; for alerts, review the VINELink availability limits.
- For the local facility, use the Crawford County Jail page listed in the footer.
- For a state prisoner, use MDOC OTIS; for a federal or immigration case, use BOP or ICE only when that agency held the person.
