State Tools for Livonia Released Inmates

The OTIS system from the Michigan Department of Corrections is free. It covers current state prisoners, parolees, and people discharged from state prison in the last three years.

This is more complete than OTIS for background checks. VINELink at vinelink.com offers custody status alerts. Sign up and you get a call or email when an inmate in Wayne County has a status change.
