Washington County Regional Correctional Facility Records

Where Washington County Regional Releases Go

Washington County Regional Correctional Facility is not a single-track county jail. A local pretrial detainee may leave for the community after bond, dismissal, a court order, completion of a local sentence, or another lawful disposition. An MDOC prisoner housed in the same building remains on the state-corrections track. That person may leave for another MDOC institution, parole, earned-release supervision, another form of community supervision, or final discharge.

The key distinction is destination. “Left the facility” does not necessarily mean “returned to the community.” A transfer to MDOC, another county, federal authorities, ICE, or another jurisdiction ends custody at this building but continues custody elsewhere. Ask for the destination or receiving agency and match it to the same booking or MDOC number. If the response gives only “not here,” request the last recorded event and its effective date.

Confirm a Washington County Regional Release

Begin with the facility because MDOC directs questions about people in regional facilities to facility administration or the warden first. Then follow the legal custodian rather than assuming every name belongs in the same database.

1. Call 662-537-2000 and give the full name plus a booking number or MDOC ID when known.
2. Ask whether the person was on the local-custody track or the MDOC state-prison track.
3. Request the last event, recorded date and time, release authority, and destination or receiving agency.
4. For a local booking, contact the Washington County Sheriff for the jail-docket or booking/release entry.
5. Obtain the bond order, dismissal, judgment, sentence, or other disposition from the court named in the case.
6. For an MDOC prisoner, open the official state search and compare MDOC ID, Location, Unit, sentence data, Location Change Date, and Tentative Release Date.
7. Confirm community supervision through MDOC Community Corrections when the record indicates parole, probation, post-release supervision, or earned-release supervision.

Washington County Regional Records and Contact

The official MDOC facility page publishes the address and telephone but no release hours, records-counter schedule, roster, recent-release feed, copy fee, or public request form. Call before traveling or sending a request. Ask whether facility administration or the sheriff's office keeps the existing record for the custody track at issue.

The Washington County Sheriff can be reached at 662-334-4523 or P.O. Box 786, Greenville, MS 38702. The official page confirms that the sheriff keeps a jail docket but does not identify a records officer, form, email, fee, office hours, or response estimate. Call first to confirm the current submission channel.

How Washington County's Regional Facility Operates

MDOC classifies the institution as Regional. Mississippi's regional correctional model partners with county governments to house state inmates. The facility operates under the Washington County Sheriff's Department, the sheriff appoints the warden, and MDOC's Division of Regional and Private Facilities provides compliance oversight. This operator and oversight split is not just administrative detail. It is why a county-only search can miss the correct state record for a person held at this address.

The official page says regional facilities provide educational, vocational, treatment, faith-based, and reentry programming. Those categories support asking staff which resource applies to a particular person. They do not establish that everyone participates or receives a specific post-release placement. No sourced capacity or annual-release figure was found, so none is supplied here.

The MDOC facility listing provides the controlling visual source for the regional classification and contact information.

The page confirms an MDOC-supervised regional arrangement, which is why local and state release paths must remain distinct.

Why “Regional” Changes a Release Search

The distinctive local fact is that two people at the same street address may have different legal custodians. For a local detainee, a Washington County court order can authorize release and the sheriff's jail entry can document departure. For a state prisoner, the MDOC number, sentence record, and state release or discharge documentation remain essential even when the person was physically housed in Greenville.

Movement from this building to another prison is a transfer. It should be recorded as release from this facility to another custodian, not as freedom. Likewise, a person on earned-release supervision has left confinement but retains inmate status and MDOC jurisdiction under Miss. Code § 47-5-138 until the relevant endpoint. Precise labels prevent the regional arrangement from producing a false release conclusion.

Request a Washington County Regional Release Entry

A focused request seeks an existing record. Identify the person, approximate booking range, booking number, MDOC ID, and case number when available. Ask for the jail-docket, booking, and release entry tied to that episode, including the recorded date and time, authority or type, destination, receiving agency, and related booking photograph subject to lawful redaction.

Mississippi's Public Records Act allows public bodies to use reasonable written procedures and charge actual costs for search, review, copying, and mailing. Ask for a cost estimate and say whether inspection or an electronic copy would suffice. No official Washington County source publishes a local fee or retention period. If the booking is old, ask whether it remains in an electronic archive, paper docket, or other retained file.

Match Washington County Court and Facility Records

The Washington County courts page says Justice Court handles initial felony appearances and its judges conduct jail sessions three times each week. County Court may set bond and conduct preliminary hearings. Circuit and County Court criminal filings and judgments are kept through the Circuit Clerk. Begin with the court named on the charging or bond paper, then ask for the actual order or judgment instead of a vague case summary.

A bond order does not provide the exact departure time. A dismissal in one case does not rule out another hold. A sentence-completion entry may not resolve an out-of-county detainer. Pair the legal document with the facility's departure entry and keep the booking or case number constant across both sources.

MDOC Lookup for Washington County Regional Releases

Use the official MDOC inmate search only when the person entered MDOC jurisdiction. Search by MDOC ID if available. A current detail page may show name, photograph, birth and description fields, Entry Date, Location, Unit, Location Change Date, sentence data, county of conviction, and Tentative Release Date. Read location and date together.

A future Tentative Release Date is a projected endpoint, not evidence of present release. The legacy state record also warns that release types and dates may differ from the online display. A blank field does not prove discharge. If the state record points to supervision, contact the Washington Probation & Parole Office at 662-332-1975 through an authorized channel. If it points to another institution, contact that receiving custodian.

Release Logistics Not Published by Washington County

The official facility source does not state a release door, release hour, weekend schedule, property-return process, family waiting area, transportation arrangement, roster, photo policy, or recent-release report. Do not rely on practices from another Mississippi jail. Call 662-537-2000 for current instructions related to the specific custody episode.

Regional transit exists, but no reviewed source promises a stop at 60 Stokes King Road or an on-demand jail pickup. Anyone arranging transportation should verify the route, reservation rules, operating hours, and pickup point before the expected event. A tentative date can change, so transportation planning should remain flexible until the facility confirms departure.

Property and identification questions require the same direct approach. No published process explains where property is released, who may collect it, how an error is corrected, or which documents are issued at departure. Give facility staff the relevant booking or MDOC identifier and ask for the current office responsible for that narrow issue. Do not assume that a court clerk can correct a facility entry or that the facility can revise an MDOC sentence field. Each originator controls its own record.

If family members plan to wait nearby, they should ask whether any waiting location is permitted and whether the expected time is firm. The research found no official family waiting area or release-time schedule. A court order, tentative MDOC date, or automated VINE alert may precede final processing, so confirmation from the facility remains necessary.
