Jackson, MI Parnall Correctional Facility View
Parnall Correctional Facility is a Michigan Department of Corrections state prison in Jackson, Michigan. It is operated by the MDOC and generally houses sentenced adult male prisoners, not people newly arrested and awaiting arraignment in county court.

Local pretrial detainees and short-term county sentences are typically handled by the county jail, not a state prison.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Parnall Correctional Facility
Parnall Correctional Facility inmate information is searched through the official state inmate search, not a typical county jail roster. County rosters usually list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, while state prison records may show name, MDOC number, current location, offense information, sentence details, and custody status. Records are not always searchable immediately after booking, sentencing, or transfer; processing can take several hours or longer before a record appears or updates. Use the official inmate search link available on this page to look up the facility’s current inmate information.
