Oakland County Inmate Population is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule visitation, pull an official booking record, change a roster entry, or answer for the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, courts, MDOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink.

  • For someone in the county jail, start with jail inmate records, then use the inmate information line at 248-858-1800 if the roster does not answer the question.
  • For booking photos, use the jail roster mugshots page and confirm any official photo request with the Records Unit.
  • For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Court Explorer, MiCOURT, the Prosecutor's Office, or the court that has jurisdiction.
  • For the active county facility, use the Oakland County Jail page and the official jail contact channels.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, search the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS locator.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator, ICE Online Detainee Locator System, or Michigan VINELink for custody notifications when available.
