Open the official inmate search
Use the Wayne County Sheriff-linked search, not a commercial background site.
Open Wayne County inmate search
Search the legal name
Start with the surname when the exact middle name or spelling is uncertain.
Open every plausible match
Wayne County contains Detroit and dozens of surrounding communities, so same-name results require careful verification.
Save the inmate and booking identifiers
The booking number is especially important for personal mail and jail-related requests.
Check current custody
Confirm whether the person remains in the Adult Detention Facility or has been released or transferred.
Identify the originating agency
A booking may involve Detroit Police, Wayne County Sheriff, Michigan State Police or another Wayne County municipality.
Do not treat the jail charge as final
The Sheriff directs users to the court of jurisdiction for current charge, bond and case information.
Call when necessary
Wayne County inmate information: 313-224-0797.
The Wayne County Jail Dashboard is updated daily and separately tracks inmates, bookings, housing and releases. Its booking statistics extend back to 2015, but it is not a substitute for an individual certified criminal record.
Understand what a Wayne County jail result does and does not prove
| Field | What it means | What it does not prove | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booking number | Identifier for the Wayne County jail booking. | Final guilt or court outcome. | Use for mail, jail questions and identity matching. |
| Booking date | Date connected to intake into the jail system. | Exact date of the alleged crime. | Compare police and court records. |
| Charge | Allegation associated with the booking. | What the prosecutor ultimately filed. | Check 36th District or Third Circuit. |
| Originating agency | Agency associated with a charge or arrest event. | Sheriff owns the police report. | Request the report from the originating agency. |
| Bond | Displayed release information. | No other warrant or hold exists. | Verify with the court of jurisdiction. |
| Release status | Person may no longer be physically jailed. | Case dismissal. | Find the upcoming court date or disposition. |
Confirm the right person before using the arrest record
Full legal name matches
Middle name or alias is consistent
Birth information matches when available
Booking number matches the event
Arrest date is consistent
Originating police agency is correct
Court case follows the same arrest
Final disposition belongs to the same defendant
Michigan State Police warning: name-based searches can produce identity mistakes. Fingerprints are the stronger route when positively identifying a person’s criminal history matters.
No Wayne County inmate result? Check these causes
The arrest is very recent
Police processing, transport and jail registry intake may not be finished.
The person was released before you searched
Continue to the court case even when current custody has ended.
The person remains at another agency
A newly arrested person may still be at a Detroit Police precinct or another municipal agency before county intake.
The arrest occurred outside Wayne County
Search the jail in the county where the person was actually detained.
The person received a citation instead of jail booking
A court case can exist without Wayne County incarceration.
The name is entered differently
Test aliases, former names, middle names, suffixes and alternate spellings.
The person went to state custody
Use Michigan OTIS after a qualifying state-prison or supervision transfer.
The record is restricted or set aside
Nonpublic, juvenile, suppressed and legally set-aside records may not appear in public searches.
Custody call script
I am trying to verify whether [full legal name], date of birth [date if known], was processed into Wayne County custody after an arrest on approximately [date]. The arresting agency may be [agency].

Circuit court proceedings
The case can involve arraignment on the information, bond review, motions, plea negotiations and trial.
Final disposition

Check automatic set aside before filing an expungement application
Michigan usually calls expungement a conviction set aside. Some convictions are automatically set aside; others require a formal application.
Automatic Clean Slate timing
| Conviction type | Automatic limit | Waiting period |
|---|---|---|
| Misdemeanor punishable by less than 92 days | No numerical limit under the automatic rule | 7 years |
| Misdemeanor punishable by 93 days or more | Up to 4 qualifying convictions | 7 years |
| Felony | Up to 2 qualifying convictions | 10 years |
Automatic eligibility is subject to additional rules. Examples MSP identifies as excluded from automatic set aside include assaultive crimes, serious misdemeanors, certain dishonesty crimes, offenses punishable by 10 or more years, human-trafficking offenses and certain traffic offenses.
Application-based set aside
Check what remains on your record
Use ICHAT or a fingerprint personal review.
Get the Wayne County court disposition
Obtain the judgment of sentence, probation order or register of actions required for the application.
File in the court where the conviction occurred
Separate applications are required when convictions are in different courts.
Obtain fingerprints
Michigan residents can obtain the Michigan Applicant Fingerprint Card RI-008 from local law enforcement.
Send the required material to MSP
The state process requires fingerprints, the application, certified court record and state processing payment.
Current MSP application processing fee: $50
Pay by check or money order payable to the State of Michigan.
Allow the state processing period
MSP currently advises allowing approximately eight weeks for processing and mailing.
Verify the record after the order
Check ICHAT and the court to confirm that the public record reflects the set aside correctly.
Useful 2026 check: If you believe a qualifying conviction should already be automatically set aside, first check ICHAT and the court of conviction before starting a new application.
