Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility
Because Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility is a Michigan state prison, inmate information is typically found through the Michigan Department of Corrections offender search rather than a county jail roster. Search results commonly list the person’s name, MDOC number, location, custody status, sentence information, and offense details; county jail rosters, when used, may list name, booking date, charges, and custody status. New admissions or transfers may take several hours or longer to process, so records may not appear immediately after arrival. Use the official inmate search link available on this page to access the facility’s current inmate lookup information.
