24 Hour Booking Records Request in Isabella County
For records beyond what the online roster shows, submit a FOIA request. Michigan's Freedom of Information Act at MCL 15.231 gives you the right to ask for public records, and booking records fall under this law. Send your written request to the Isabella County Sheriff's Department at 207 Court Street. The FOIA coordinator can also be reached through the Isabella County office at 200 North Main Street, Mt Pleasant, MI 48858.
The office has 5 business days to respond. Complex requests can take 10 extra days. Fees are usually about $0.10 per page for copies. If you have low income, the first $20 is waived under FOIA rules, up to twice a year. Under MCL 15.243, some records may be exempt. Active investigations, juvenile records, and information that could put someone at risk are protected. But standard adult 24 hour booking records are available to anyone who asks.
Isabella County Booking and Statewide Tools
Michigan runs several statewide databases that tie into county booking records. The OTIS system tracks offenders who move from county jails into state prison. The ICHAT tool from the Michigan State Police shows criminal history for a $10 fee. And the MiCOURT case search lets you look up court records that started with an Isabella County arrest.
Under MCL 801.1 through MCL 801.81, Michigan county jails are required to keep records of every booking. These records include the inmate's name, charges, bond info, and intake details. Isabella County's online roster covers most of this for current inmates. For historical records or complete case files, FOIA or the court system are your best options.
MCL 791.235 also governs what the Department of Corrections can share about offenders. If someone booked into the Isabella County Jail is later sentenced to state prison, their record moves to the MDOC system. OTIS information is removed if a conviction is set aside, expunged, or three years pass since discharge from MDOC supervision. You can read the full text of these statutes at the Michigan Legislature website.
Note: Isabella County is one of the Michigan counties that posts mugshots with its online jail roster, giving more complete 24 hour booking information.
What Isabella County 24 Hour Booking Records Show
Booking records from Isabella County include the inmate's full name, date of birth, gender, and physical description. The booking number is a unique ID the jail assigns at intake.

Isabella County is notable for posting mugshots with its roster. Not all Michigan counties do this. You can see the booking photo along with the custody information and charges on the online roster. For historical records or records that are no longer on the live roster, use the FOIA process described above. Under MCL 28.243, some restrictions may apply to criminal history records held by state police, but county booking photos are generally public.
