Branch Jail and Sheriff Records
For a live Branch County Jail status or a Sheriff booking and release record, use the current official contact:
Branch County Jail and Sheriff’s Office379 Keith Wilhelm Drive
Coldwater, MI 49036
Phone: 517-278-2325
Fax: 517-278-5698
Email: Sheriffbc@branchcounty.gov
Administration: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Jail operation: 24 hours a day
The continuous operation of the jail does not mean its public counter keeps the same hours. Ask a narrow status question by phone. For a document, use the Sheriff-specific FOIA form.
Where Each Question Goes
The right contact depends on the custodian and type of proof needed:
- For a named released person and release sheet, use the full Branch County search and records path.
- For parole or probation, contact Branch County Parole/Probation at 31 Division Street, Coldwater, MI 49036, phone 517-279-4305, and consult Post-Release Supervision.
- For a recent jail event, use the 24-Hour Releases fallback. Branch County had no official recent-release feed in the researched source set.
- For a state sentence date, use Release Date Lookup. For alerts from a participating source, use VINE Inmate Check.
- For a Branch criminal order, call 3-A District Court at 517-279-4328 or 15th Circuit Court/County Clerk at 517-279-4304, based on the case stage.
- For Lakeland Correctional Facility, call 517-278-6942. State status records belong to MDOC and OTIS, not the Sheriff.
- For an MDOC record, contact the MDOC FOIA Coordinator at P.O. Box 30003, Lansing, MI 48909, email MDOC-FOIA@michigan.gov, or phone 517-335-4194.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator and the agency-specific record route.
