After a conviction is attained by your Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office, violent criminals, drug dealers and other serious offenders are routinely sentenced to prison. (To distinguish between prison and jail, review the definitions listed in the "Anatomy of a Case" section). Victims of these crimes and other citizens often have an interest in knowing the whereabouts and earliest release dates of these law violators.
Information Available
The Michigan Department of Corrections website includes an "Offenders Search" option. This "DOC" website gives you access to a variety of information including the following:
- A current photograph of most convicts
- Information about where the offender is being housed
- The inmate's earliest release date
- The prisoner's current level of security

Please note that the Department of Corrections is not under the control of the Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office. The Department of Corrections currently allows some inmates access to the community.
