Clare County Released Inmates is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record.

Choose the path that matches the question:
- For a released person or county release record, the home page explains the full verification and request process.
- For state parole or felony probation, use the Parole / Probation page or call Clare County Parole/Probation at (989) 539-2458.
- For a same-day release inquiry, use Released Last 24 Hours; Clare County does not publish an official recent-release feed.
- For sentence timing or alerts, consult Inmate Release Date and VINELink Release Check.
- For the only confirmed local detention facility, call the Clare County Jail or review its facility page.
- For a sentenced Michigan prisoner, search MDOC OTIS; older discharge material may be requested from Records Retention at (517) 780-5471.
- For federal sentenced custody use the BOP locator; federal pretrial and immigration detention require the relevant federal or ICE channel.
Local legal records are divided by court. The 80th District Court can be reached at (989) 539-7173, and the 55th Circuit Court at (989) 539-7131. A court order explains the legal action, while the jail release entry is the better source for physical departure.
