Use the correct route for the kind of record or custody status involved.
- For someone in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the Sheriff's Office phone line.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the county FOIA request process.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, the 3B District Court index, the 45th Circuit Court, or MiCOURT.
- For the local facility, use the St. Joseph County Jail page and the jail contact card.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use MDOC OTIS rather than the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS.
