Find George County Released Inmates

George County Release Records

George County released inmates leave a current-custody listing when the source system no longer treats that booking as active. That change alone does not state what happened. A person may have posted bond, received a court-ordered release, completed a local term, moved into MDOC custody, or transferred under another agency's hold. The George County Sheriff's Department keeps the local custody record. A court keeps the order that supplied legal authority. MDOC keeps state sentence and discharge data. Each record answers a different part of the question.

The one verified detention operation is the George/Greene County Correctional Facility. It is a regional jail operated by the sheriff and also houses MDOC prisoners. That mixed role is central. A local detainee and a state prisoner may appear in the same roster, yet their release records follow different paths. The sheriff record proves the end or transfer of local custody. MDOC records control a state prisoner's parole, earned-release supervision, tentative date, or maximum discharge.

Discharge

The end of the sentence or correctional authority described by the responsible agency.

Time served

Credited confinement that satisfies the custodial part of an order or sentence.

Parole

Discretionary early release from an MDOC sentence into community supervision.

Probation

Court-ordered supervision that may be imposed instead of confinement.

George County Release Types

The release mechanism determines where a record should appear next. Bond permits a person to leave physical custody under the bond and court terms, but it does not decide the charge. A dismissal or nolle prosequi ends or declines a prosecution in the stated case, though another hold can still prevent departure. Transfer means the person left one custodian and entered another. It is not a community release.

A detainer is a request or notice that another authority may take custody. It can come from MDOC, another county, federal authorities, or immigration authorities. Read the record for the actual destination. Never convert a roster disappearance or a single court order into proof of community release when a hold remains.

Inside a George County Release Record

A useful George County release record ties an identified person to one booking and one custody outcome. The public roster already supplies a photo, inmate and booking identifiers, an exact booking time, arresting agency, physical descriptors, charges, and statute fields. It supplies no release time, release reason, custody-status label, destination, bond outcome, or court disposition. Those missing fields are the reason to request the underlying jail record.

Does the roster prove release? No. It is a current listing with no release fields. A missing person could have been released, transferred, corrected in the data, or entered under a different spelling. Obtain the sheriff's dated release or transfer entry.

Request George County Release Records

The sheriff requires a completed Records Request Form to be submitted in person. Full payment comes before retrieval, exact cash is required, and pickup is also in person. The requester or an authorized law-firm representative may collect the record. Open or active investigative material remains unavailable until closure or resolution except through discovery. No general fee is published for a jail release record or booking photo. The listed $15 charge applies only to accident reports.

1. Gather the full name, aliases, birth date, inmate ID, booking date, and booking number when known.
2. Ask for the booking sheet and photo, exact release or transfer time, disposition code, destination, holds, release authorization, custody log, RMS/JMS entry, and prisoner-log entry.
3. Submit the completed form in person and ask for an estimate before paying. Request nonexempt parts with redaction if some content is withheld.
4. Collect the record in person and compare its identifiers with the roster and court file.

The official sheriff records procedure documents the in-person and payment rules. Its current public manifest does not expose a downloadable form URL, so call before traveling and confirm how to obtain the form.

The following capture from the sheriff records procedure illustrates the source used for this process. It documents access rules, not the contents of any named person's record.

The image reinforces why the local historical route is an in-person request rather than a search of the current inmate feed.

George County Release Record Law

The Mississippi Public Records Act, Mississippi Code §§25-61-1 through 25-61-19, governs agency records. Section 25-61-3 defines public records broadly and includes photos used or held in public business. Section 25-61-5 requires access to nonexempt records under reasonable written procedures. An agency procedure may set a response period of up to seven working days. When production cannot occur by then, the agency must give a particularized written explanation, and production generally may not extend beyond fourteen working days without agreement.

Section 25-61-7 permits fees based on actual search, review, duplication, and mailing costs, with advance payment allowed. The lowest qualified staff rate applies to labor. These rules support a focused request for nonexempt release data and an agency-held photo, but they do not promise that each document is public in full.

George County RMS Release Times

George County has an unusually specific record trail for release time. A State Auditor report quotes Mississippi Code §19-25-74 as requiring the sheriff's prisoner meal log to include each prisoner's name and the date and time of incarceration and release. Auditors found those dates and times missing from the reviewed logs. The sheriff answered that future monthly reports would come from RMS/JMS software and show each prisoner's incarceration and release date and time.

That finding does not guarantee each older record is complete. It does give a requester exact names for the records sought: the RMS/JMS release entry and corresponding §19-25-74 prisoner-log entry. Request both with the booking sheet, custody log, and release authorization. The source is the George County State Auditor report, pages 88 and 89.

Note: Ask for the named RMS/JMS and statutory log records because a broad request may not isolate the departure or transfer time.

Expunged George County Release Records

Mississippi Code §99-19-71 covers expungement. Subsection (4) addresses petitions involving an arrest followed by release and dismissal, dropped charges, no disposition, or acquittal. The Mississippi Criminal Information Center requires a certified court order before it carries out an expungement. A nonpublic record may remain for narrow statutory purposes, so ordinary public visibility may change after an order.

Check with the clerk that handled the George County case. A missing docket, booking photo, or web result does not prove that custody never occurred, nor does it establish that expungement was granted. The Mississippi Center for Justice expungement program offers statewide help and warns that intake review may take at least ninety days because of demand.

Note: Only the issuing court and record custodian can confirm how a sealing or expungement order affects a particular public file.

Find George County Released Inmates

Use a custody-type sequence. Searching every database without first asking who held the person can create false matches. George/Greene houses both local detainees and MDOC prisoners, and Lucedale Police bookings also appear there. Begin with names and identifiers, but end with the record made by the right custodian.

1. Check the George County current roster. A match supports a current listing. A miss does not prove release.
2. Call George/Greene County Correctional Facility at 601-947-9399. Ask whether the named custody episode ended or shifted to another custodian.
3. Request the sheriff's written release or transfer record, including destination and holds.
4. Read the proper Justice, Circuit, or Municipal Court docket and actual order.
5. If MDOC held legal custody, search MDOC by name or ID, check parole records, and request the time sheet when needed.
6. Use Mississippi VINE for an event or notification, then confirm it with the reporting agency.
7. Use BOP or ICE only when a federal or immigration custody link is documented.

The following official roster image shows the current-booking interface used for the first check. It must not be called a recent-release list.

The interface contains booking facts and photos, while the release record must be obtained from the sheriff when the current entry is gone.

MDOC George County Release Search

The MDOC Inmate Search accepts First Name, Last Name, or MDOC ID Number. Search by ID when possible. Otherwise, use the full name and compare the photo, physical data, location, offense, county of conviction, and sentence information. The results grid shows ID Number, name, Location, Term, Offense, and a detail link.

The public tool is not a verified full discharge archive and has no released or discharged filter. A fully discharged person may be absent. For parole, also use the MDOC parolee search. For an old release or maximum discharge, request the nonexempt time sheet and release record from MDOC Records at P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, or call 601-933-2889.

The MDOC search capture shows the official fields available to a George County state-prison lookup.

Use that state system only where MDOC authority exists, then verify actual discharge through records rather than treating a projected date as final.

George County Recent Release Limits

George County publishes no verified recent-release feed. The official OCV configuration supplies a date-descending Inmate Search with photos and booking or charge facts. It has no Recent Releases feature, no release status, and no 24-hour or 72-hour release window. Old booking dates can remain because MDOC prisoners may spend long periods at the regional facility. They do not prove the roster is a historic archive.

For same-day confirmation, check the current roster, call the facility, and request the sheriff release entry when the person is absent. For a weekend or three-day period, define the exact date range in the request and ask for each release or transfer time, disposition code, and receiving custodian. The 24-Hour Releases coverage sets out that no-feed fallback without relabeling the current roster.

Why is there no public release result? The sheriff platform is built around current bookings. Its publication cadence and retention period are not stated. A phone check can help at once, but the written record is the durable source.

George County Release and Reentry

Parole and probation follow different legal routes. MDOC parole is an early supervised release from a state sentence. Probation is imposed by a court and may occur without a prison term. The MDOC parolee search accepts a name, MDOC ID, city, and county, with George available as a county choice. It is an active parole locator, not a complete history or probation search.

The George/Greene Probation & Parole Office at 38 London Street, Suite A, Lucedale, is the local human-verification route for current supervision, subject to confidentiality controls. A parolee-search miss can reflect completed supervision, spelling, a system limit, or another status. It does not prove absconding or discharge. Court orders and the local office are the proper checks for probation.

George County Regional Correctional Facility has documented education tied to reentry. Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College entered an agreement to offer classes there. A May 2026 graduation recognized fourteen high-school-equivalency diplomas and six construction-technology credentials. These facts describe the local program, not anyone's release status. See the MGCCC correctional education agreement.

George County Release Status Channels

Mississippi SAVIN operates through VINE and can report release, transfer, return to custody, escape, and abscond-supervision events supplied by participating jails or MDOC. Search Mississippi for the person, then register for a future notice if appropriate. A transfer or other-custody event does not mean community release. Confirm each event with the sheriff or MDOC because VINE relies on source-agency data.

For a sentenced federal prisoner, use the BOP inmate locator. A past Release Date with no facility, or a location of RELEASED, means the person is no longer in BOP custody. A future date is projected, and IN TRANSIT is not release. BOP records cover federal prisoners released after 1982 and do not verify an ordinary George County jail release.

The Mississippi Sex Offender Registry is a narrow post-release channel for people with a qualifying registration duty. It may show a photo, aliases, residence, conviction date, and qualifying offense. It is not a general list of George County released inmates, and its absence says nothing about ordinary custody status.

George County Courts and Release

George County custody questions can cross three local courts. Justice Court handles misdemeanors and felony preliminary stages. Circuit Court holds felony dispositions and sentence orders. Lucedale Municipal Court may hold the legal record for a city police booking, even though the person was booked into the regional facility. Start with the charge and arresting agency. Then identify the court that issued the custody-changing order.

A docket may contain a bond order, dismissal, plea and sentence, time-served language, revocation, sentence change, or later termination order. That order explains legal authority, but it may not state the exact moment the person walked out or entered another custodian's control. Pair it with the sheriff record.

The George County Nineteenth Circuit MEC information page describes registered access for covered Circuit matters. Justice and Municipal records are not all supplied through that portal.

The court capture identifies a disposition channel that should be checked beside, not in place of, the physical release record.

George County ICE Release Checks

No ICE contract or ICE detention center was verified in George County. Do not assume immigration custody because a person vanished from the regional roster. Use the ICE channel only when a detainer, destination field, court document, or other official record identifies ICE as the receiving authority. A transfer to ICE is continued government custody, not release to the community.

The ICE Online Detainee Locator accepts a nine-digit A-number with country of birth, or an exact name with country of birth and optional birth date. ICE says it covers current custody and releases from ICE custody within the prior sixty days. People under eighteen are excluded, and data or safety limits can cause omissions. After that window, a missing match proves no outcome.

Note: Mississippi VINE and ICE tools serve different systems, so confirm the named custodian before interpreting a release or transfer alert.

George County Regional Release Paths

One regional facility serves two correctional roles. The 2026 PREA audit reports a designated capacity of 460, twelve residential units, an average daily population of 427 over the prior twelve months, and 444 people present on October 3, 2025. Those numbers describe scale. They are not annual bookings or releases and cannot support a release-rate estimate.

The mixed population explains a common George County search problem. A local detainee may leave on bond, dismissal, time served, court order, or transfer. An MDOC prisoner can move to another state facility, start parole or earned-release supervision, or reach maximum discharge. In both cases, a name may vanish from the local view. The legal custodian, release code, and destination decide which event took place.

The MDOC regional facility profile confirms the official classification and facility context.

The official profile supports the regional status that separates county release records from MDOC discharge records.

Where George County Releases Appear

Match the source to the legal custodian and exact question. The live roster can show a current listing. Historical proof comes from a release record, corrections record, or court order.

George County Release Facility

George/Greene County Correctional Facility is the county's one verified detention operation. It is at 154 Industrial Park Road, Lucedale, MS 39452, and its phone is 601-947-9399. Local sheriff and Lucedale Police detainees may be released, bonded, or transferred. MDOC prisoners remain in the state system until transfer, parole, earned-release supervision, maximum discharge, or another lawful outcome.

No separately operated state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, or municipal lockup was verified in George County. Lucedale Police is an arresting agency whose bookings can appear at the regional facility. The facility record shows the physical event, while the correct court or MDOC record supplies the governing outcome.
