Use the source that owns the event you need:
- For a released person or local release form, use the home page search path and Sheriff FOIA instructions.
- For post-release supervision, contact the Houghton/Baraga/Keweenaw Parole and Probation office at 401 East Houghton Avenue, fifth floor, or 906-482-6615.
- For a same-day jail question, call Corrections because Houghton publishes no official 24-hour release feed.
