Saginaw County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release status, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the public office that holds the record or has custody for those needs.

For custody or inmate-information questions, start with the official Saginaw County Jail page and the Sheriff’s current instructions. That page currently prints 859-547-0404 for automated inmate information, an area code that does not match the county’s other Michigan contacts. Other local-government references list 989-790-5462 for the County Jail or jail booking. The sources do not fully match, so verify the current jail number with the Sheriff before relying on it.
Custody confirmation and a records request are separate matters. The Sheriff identifies a Records Bureau but does not publish a separate booking-records email or mugshot-request portal. For a specific county booking card, photo, release record, or related document, use the Saginaw County FOIA form for the County FOIA Coordinator, Chair of the Board of Commissioners, 111 S. Michigan Avenue, Saginaw, MI 48602, phone 989-790-5267, email boc@saginawcounty.com. Requests should describe the record closely; fees depend on labor, redaction, duplication, media, or mailing costs, and no fixed county photo-copy fee is published.
Use the route that matches the question, and verify time-sensitive information with the responsible office.
- For an official search path and records-request preparation, start with the home guide.
- For a current custody or release question, use the official jail page, the SCSO app path, and a verified Sheriff contact. Do not treat a third-party listing as confirmation.
- For a county booking record or photograph, submit a focused County FOIA request. A response deadline does not guarantee release because exemptions and redaction may apply.
- For case status or disposition after booking, use the appropriate Michigan court record route or contact the court clerk. A booking is an accusation, not a conviction.
- For an official warrant-check process, see Wanted Fugitives and follow the issuing agency or court’s instructions.
- For a person under state supervision rather than ordinary county-jail custody, use Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS. OTIS is not a Saginaw County booking roster.
- For federal or immigration detention, use the applicable official BOP or ICE locator rather than a county-jail listing.
