How can I obtain a copy of my parole or probation records?

In Michigan, individuals on parole or probation can request a copy of their records by submitting a written request to the agency overseeing their case. The request should include the individual’s name, date of birth, current address, and court case or sentence number, if known. Depending on the agency, the request can be emailed, mailed, or faxed to the appropriate department. The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) is responsible for handling the majority of parolees and probationers in the state. A request can be sent to the MDOC Records Office, which reviews and processes requests. The MDOC will usually require some form of official identification in order to provide the records. The MDOC Records Office has specific guidelines for providing records, which can be found on their website. Individuals under state supervision can also contact their parole or probation officer to request records. The request should include the name of the parolee or probationer, as well as the date the officer was assigned to the case. The parole or probation officer will then be able to provide the requested records. Generally, the records provided will include a summary of the individual’s supervision status, such as the conditions of his or her probation or parole, as well as any sanctions or violations they may have incurred. These records can be provided in a physical or electronic format, depending on the agency’s preferences.
