Why This Reference Exists
Mississippi law provides access to many public records, but access is split among offices and systems. The Union County Sheriff maintains local booking and release information. The Mississippi Department of Corrections operates state offender and parolee searches. The Union Probation & Parole Office handles local community supervision, while the Mississippi State Parole Board makes parole decisions. Federal release records belong to the Bureau of Prisons, and immigration custody uses a separate ICE locator. This site organizes those distinct routes, explains what each result can establish, and outlines focused records requests when no public search resolves the question.
Information Organized Here
The content is arranged around the records and official contacts that apply after custody changes. Readers can find:
- A full released-person search and county release-record process on the home page, plus focused pages for inmate release dates, VINELink notifications, and parole or probation.
- Facility pages for the Union County Jail, New Albany municipal arrest path, local MDOC field office, statewide prisons, federal custody, and immigration custody.
- Practical distinctions between a current roster, a local release entry, an MDOC tentative date, a court disposition, and a transfer to another custodian.
- Steps for requesting a booking record or photograph under the Mississippi Public Records Act, including response timing and actual-cost fee rules.
Limits of This Site
Union County Released Inmates is privately operated. It has no connection to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, Union County Jail, MDOC, the Mississippi State Parole Board, BOP, ICE, or any local, state, or federal agency. It does not host official custody files and cannot speak for a record custodian.
- It cannot release, detain, or transfer any person.
- It cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds.
- It cannot provide legal advice or decide record access.
- It cannot promise that an officeholder, address, phone number, fee, or procedure has not changed.
Only the government office that created or maintains a record can confirm custody, release, charges, supervision, or the official document.
Search Partner Disclosure
Some pages contain search boxes supplied by outside providers. Those companies control their own databases, terms, results, and prices. If a visitor follows a tool to a paid signup, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep the public reference material available, but it does not make a partner result official or change the need to verify facts with the originating government office.
