Duane Waters Inmate Overview

Duane L. Waters Health Center is a 152-bed Michigan Department of Corrections health facility housed at Charles E. Egeler Reception and Guidance Center, 3855 Cooper Street in Jackson. The research states that phone contact routes through Egeler RGC at 517-780-5600. It serves male and female prisoners across MDOC who need medical services, telemedicine support services, inpatient care, outpatient treatment, and due-process-related health services.

This is a state prison health-care setting. It is not a Jackson County sheriff jail, not a public county booking roster, and not a place where a reader can obtain private medical information by running a general web search. Public custody status should be checked through MDOC OTIS. Medical information, if releasable at all, depends on authorized MDOC health-record channels and privacy rules.

The MDOC Egeler RGC facility page is directly relevant because MDOC describes Duane Waters as part of the RGC site.

Use that MDOC page for the RGC and Duane Waters relationship, then use OTIS for the public prisoner location lookup.

Duane Waters Health Capacity

The research identifies Duane L. Waters Health Center as a 152-bed unit. Unlike Cooper Street or Parnall, its purpose is not general minimum-security housing or reentry. Its role is health care for MDOC prisoners, including people who may be temporarily housed for treatment, evaluation, telemedicine support, outpatient care, or inpatient care. The population can include male and female prisoners even though Egeler's reception function is focused on males.

For records, the capacity figure is less important than the facility type. A person at Duane Waters may be in MDOC custody for medical reasons while sentence, offense, supervision, or location fields still appear through OTIS. The health-care reason for placement should not be assumed from the public locator alone.

Look Up Duane Waters Inmates

Duane Waters inmate search starts with OTIS. Search by MDOC number when known, or use the person's name and compare the matching profile fields. OTIS can show custody or supervision status, location, MDOC number, offense, sentence details, dates, and sometimes a photo. It does not make confidential health records public. It also excludes county jail-only cases and city lockup prisoners, so it should not be used for someone who has only been arrested locally and not committed to MDOC.

1. Open MDOC OTIS and search by MDOC number or name.
2. Review the location and status fields. A medical placement may be listed through RGC or another MDOC location context.
3. Call Egeler RGC at 517-780-5600 only after confirming the public location and need for facility-specific guidance.
4. Use authorized health-record channels for medical questions. OTIS is a custody locator, not a medical-record portal.

Duane Waters Address and Contact

Duane Waters is contacted through the Egeler RGC site. For general public questions, visiting schedule questions, or prison-status routing, use the Egeler phone number first. For private medical questions, families should expect authorization rules and privacy limits. A public facility page or OTIS search cannot replace direct MDOC health-record procedures.

Duane Waters Visiting Schedule

The research captured a current MDOC schedule entry for Duane L. Waters Health Center on the Egeler RGC visiting schedule page, updated 04/07/25. Visitors should still confirm before travel because hospital-level needs, housing, approval status, or MDOC restrictions can affect access. The MDOC Egeler and Duane Waters visiting schedule is the source for the hours below.

Duane Waters Medical Records

Public inmate search and medical-record access are not the same thing. OTIS is for public offender tracking. It may identify custody status and location, but it does not publish treatment notes, diagnoses, medication details, or private health information. The research specifically says to use MDOC health-record channels for authorized medical information. That means family members, attorneys, and other requesters may need releases, legal authority, or direct MDOC instructions before any health information can be shared.

This distinction is central to Duane Waters. A person may be known to be in MDOC custody, but the reason for medical placement is not automatically public. The facility's medical purpose should be described accurately without implying that private health details are available from a search page.

Duane Waters Mail and Money

The research did not locate a separate Duane Waters mail format, phone vendor fee table, or deposit fee schedule. Because Duane Waters is housed at RGC, senders should confirm current MDOC rules and the prisoner's present location before mailing anything or sending funds. Treatment-related moves can affect the best address or contact path. Use MDOC prison procedures, not Jackson County jail SmartJailMail rules.

Duane Waters and Jail Records

Duane Waters can be especially confusing because Jackson County has local jails, state prisons, and medical prison services in the same county. A person booked at Wesley Street Jail or Chanter Road Jail is in the sheriff's local jail system. A person at Duane Waters is in MDOC custody for health-care services. Those records are checked through different channels and have different privacy rules.

For a new local arrest, call the county jail information number or use the sheriff's records process. For state custody and supervision status, use OTIS. For Duane Waters visits or facility contact, use the Egeler RGC phone and MDOC schedule. For health information, follow authorized MDOC medical-record procedures.

The practical search order is simple: identify the custody level first, then choose the record system. County jail questions stay with Jackson County's sheriff and court channels. State prison questions move to MDOC. Duane Waters adds one more layer because a public location result does not tell the public what treatment is occurring, why a transfer happened, or how long the person will remain in the health center.
