Why This Reference Exists
Mississippi public records are held by the offices that create and maintain them. The hard part is often knowing which record applies after a person leaves one custody setting. In Washington County, the sheriff keeps the local jail docket. The Mississippi Department of Corrections operates the state offender search for people under MDOC jurisdiction, including state prisoners who may be housed at the regional correctional facility. Community Corrections handles parole, probation, post-release supervision, and earned-release supervision. A federal release belongs in the Bureau of Prisons system, while an immigration custody question follows the ICE locator.
Washington County Released Inmates organizes these separate routes in one reference. It covers release and discharge records, official offender searches, custody notifications, supervision verification, and focused records-request steps. The distinction matters locally because Washington County Regional Correctional Facility can hold both local detainees and MDOC prisoners. Leaving that building can mean community release or a transfer to another custodian.
What Readers Can Find
The material is arranged around common release-record questions and the government system most likely to answer each one.
- The home page provides the full named-person search and release-record process, while the Release Date Lookup, VINE Inmate Check, and Post-Release Supervision pages address narrower state and supervision questions.
- The Washington County Regional Correctional Facility page identifies the adult facility, its verified address and phone number, and the correct source for release or transfer questions.
- Direct lookup instructions distinguish a local jail-docket inquiry from the statewide MDOC offender search.
- Records guidance explains how to ask for an existing booking entry, release entry, or booking photograph and why any response time or fee must come from the record custodian.
Limits of This Site
This is a privately operated reference. It has no connection to Washington County, the Washington County Sheriff, Washington County Regional Correctional Facility, MDOC, or any other local, state, or federal agency. The site does not hold government records and cannot take official action.
- It cannot release, detain, move, or transfer a person in custody.
- It cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds for a reader.
- It cannot provide legal advice or speak for a court or government office.
- It cannot guarantee that a listed phone number, fee, address, or service detail has not changed.
