Find George/Greene Release Records

George/Greene Release Paths

The George/Greene County Correctional Facility is a sheriff-operated regional jail with two distinct custody roles. A person booked by the George County Sheriff or Lucedale Police may leave on bond, after time served, through a dismissal or court order, or by transfer to another custodian. A state prisoner housed under the regional agreement remains under MDOC authority. That person may transfer within the state system, enter parole or earned-release supervision, or reach maximum discharge.

The destination field matters. Community release ends confinement at that point, though court duties or supervision may remain. A transfer only ends the stay at this building. An MDOC detainer, another county hold, federal writ, or documented immigration detainer can keep the person in government custody. The durable proof is the sheriff's release record for local custody, the MDOC time sheet and status record for state custody, and the controlling court order for the legal authority.

A roster disappearance alone cannot sort these paths. It may also reflect a spelling issue or a source-system correction.

Confirm a George/Greene Release

Begin with the exact custody episode. Match the full name to a booking number, inmate ID, MDOC number, date of birth, booking date, and arresting agency when those facts are available. Then use the source that governed the stay. George County's current roster is an opening check, but it does not show a release date, release reason, destination, or supervision status.

1. Check the official current roster. A match means the source currently lists the person. A miss does not prove release.
2. Call the facility at 601-947-9399. Ask whether the specific stay ended and whether the event was community release or transfer.
3. For local custody, submit the sheriff's in-person records form and request the booking sheet, exact release or transfer time, disposition code, release authorization, destination, holds, and RMS/JMS entry.
4. For state custody, use the MDOC inmate search and the MDOC parolee search. Request a time sheet when the online result does not settle the history.
5. Read the relevant Circuit, Justice, or Municipal Court order. Pair that legal authority with the facility record showing the actual exit or transfer.

Broader records and locator paths are set out on the George County released-inmate search. They include VINE, federal, court, and records-request channels when the local and MDOC checks do not apply.

George/Greene Release Contacts

The facility can answer immediate questions within its disclosure limits. Historical proof comes from the office that owns the record. No official release-processing hours, physical exit point, weekend schedule, or fixed records retention period was found, so call before travel and ask for the exact record rather than assuming an online archive exists.

The sheriff procedure requires a completed request form in person, payment before retrieval, pickup in person, and exact cash. It permits pickup by the requester or an authorized law-firm representative. Active investigative material may remain unavailable until closure except through discovery. The published $15 amount applies only to accident reports, not a jail release record or booking photograph. Ask for a cost estimate.

George/Greene Release Record Fields

A narrow request makes the custody outcome easier to verify. Identify the person, aliases, birth date, booking date, and booking or MDOC number. State the date range. Ask the sheriff to produce nonexempt portions with redaction if part of a record is protected.

Also request the booking sheet, booking photograph, bond or court-order reference, and the corresponding RMS/JMS or statutory prisoner-log entry. For an MDOC prisoner, ask MDOC for the nonexempt time sheet, actual release mechanism, sentence begin and end dates, jail-time credit, eligibility dates, and public offender data sheet.

George/Greene Mixed Custody Records

MDOC classifies George/Greene as a regional facility, while the 2026 PREA audit identifies the George County Sheriff's Department as the operating agency. The same public feed can include local sheriff bookings, Lucedale Police cases, MDOC-linked records, and detainers. That blend is the key local record issue.

The audit counted 444 people on its first onsite day, October 3, 2025. Those figures describe the operation's scale, not annual bookings or releases. They also help explain why an old booking date may remain visible: a long-term MDOC prisoner can share the feed with a newer local defendant.

The official MDOC regional-facility page shows the source used to distinguish the institution from a standard county-only jail.

That state listing supports the mixed county and MDOC release routes. It does not turn each local booking into a state-prison case.

George/Greene Release Time Logs

George County has a specific audit trail for release times. A State Auditor report quoted Mississippi Code §19-25-74, which requires the sheriff's prisoner meal log to include each prisoner's date and time of incarceration and release. Auditors found those fields missing from the reviewed logs. The sheriff responded that future monthly RMS/JMS reports would show incarceration and release date and time.

This finding gives a requester named records to seek: the RMS/JMS report and the §19-25-74 prisoner-log entry. It does not guarantee that every older event is complete. Pair the requested log with the booking sheet, custody record, release authorization, and receiving-custodian field. When the entries conflict, ask the sheriff to compare the records for the same booking number.

The sheriff's official records procedure explains the in-person request and pickup process.

The procedure publishes no general release-record fee. It should be read with the Public Records Act's rules on reasonable costs, written responses, redaction, and specific exemptions.

George/Greene ICE Transfer Checks

No ICE contract or ICE detention center was verified in George County. Immigration transfer should therefore be treated as a conditional path, not a default explanation for a missing roster entry. First locate an actual detainer, receiving-custodian field, court record, or other official entry that names immigration custody.

If ICE is documented, the ICE Online Detainee Locator can cover current custody and, according to ICE, release information from the prior sixty days. It searches by A-number and country of birth, or by exact name and country of birth with birth date as a narrowing field. Delays and omissions are possible. A movement from George/Greene to ICE is a transfer, not community release.

After the locator window passes, a missing result proves no outcome. Request the sheriff transfer record and use ICE's own information channel for the later event.

Note: No local release time, exit point, property-return process, transport service, or weekend schedule was verified in the official sources.
