Find Union County Released Inmates

Union County Release Paths

A person is released from Union County custody when the Union County Jail stops holding that person under a particular booking. That exit alone does not identify what came next. The person may have posted bond, received credit for time served, completed a sentence, obtained a dismissal, or moved under a court order. A felony sentence may instead send the person to the Mississippi Department of Corrections. A warrant, federal writ, or immigration detainer can produce another transfer. Each outcome makes the name leave a current local custody view, but only some outcomes mean a return to the community.

The Union County Jail record is the best local evidence of the physical exit. It can tie a release time and reason to a booking number. A court order explains the legal cause. MDOC, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the U.S. Marshals Service, or ICE may hold the next record when another custodian takes over. MS SAVIN/VINE can report a status event from a participating county or state system. The sound conclusion names both the agency that stopped holding the person and the destination shown in the record.

Union County Release Types

Release codes should be copied exactly from the source record. Everyday words can hide very different legal effects. Bond generally ends pretrial detention while the case continues. Time served connects the exit to credited days on a sentence. Discharge may end a particular MDOC duty, while probation can still follow a jail term. A transfer marks a new custodian and is not a community release. The table shows how the common Union County paths should be read and where a second check belongs.

Union County Release Record Fields

No public specification for the Union County booking system was found. A records request should therefore ask for existing material such as the jail card, booking sheet, release-log entry, custody-history export, or arrest record. Staff need not create a new explanation. The most useful fields identify the person, tie the exit to one booking, describe why custody ended, and show whether another agency took custody. If an internal code appears, ask for the code legend rather than guessing at it.

A release record is narrower than a criminal history. It answers when this custodian stopped holding this person and under what recorded code. It may not show the final outcome of every charge. It also may not reveal a later transfer, supervision condition, or new case unless those facts were part of the same booking record. Pair the jail entry with the docket and any receiving-agency record.

Note: Ask for the actual release timestamp and the data-entry timestamp when timing is disputed, because they may not be identical.

Request Union County Release Records

Address the request to the Union County Sheriff’s Office at 300 Carter Avenue, New Albany, MS 38652, or call 662-534-1943 to ask whether an email address or adopted form is now required. The county website did not publish a sheriff records form, fee schedule, or records-unit hours when researched. A request should not invent any of those details. It should identify an existing record, give enough facts to separate the right person, request electronic production, and define the date span.

1. Write the full name, date of birth when needed, approximate booking date, arresting agency, and known booking or case number.
2. Ask for the public portions of the booking sheet or jail card, custody movements, release-log entry, code legend, destination field, bond fields, and booking photograph.
3. Request the maintained electronic format and an itemized estimate before the office incurs a cost limit you select.
4. Ask the office to redact exempt fields and produce the rest, with a written statutory citation for each withheld category.
5. Match the returned release code and time with the court order, SAVIN event, or receiving custodian.

The Mississippi Public Records Act permits actual-cost charges. It calls for the lowest-level competent employee rate and allows advance collection. A narrow request can reduce search time. The official county site provides no local flat fee to quote. Ask to inspect records when copying costs are high, and seek an estimate before work begins.

Mississippi Release Record Law

Mississippi’s Public Records Act, Miss. Code §§ 25-61-1 through 25-61-19, governs a request for existing sheriff records. Section 25-61-3 broadly includes photographs and electronic material used or retained in public business. Section 25-61-5 requires production or denial under adopted procedures no later than seven working days. If production cannot occur by then, the public body must explain the delay and give a production date. Without agreement, the response period ordinarily cannot extend past fourteen working days.

Access is not absolute. Juvenile material, sealed or expunged records, victim information, medical data, active investigative material, and safety-sensitive facts may be withheld. Section 25-61-12 exempts investigative reports but states that incident reports are public, with victim protections. Request segregable public portions. A written denial should identify the specific exemption. If access remains disputed, Section 25-61-13 provides a Mississippi Ethics Commission complaint route and chancery-court enforcement.

Union County Expunged Release Records

An eligible Mississippi expungement petition is filed in the court of conviction. That makes the correct Union County court important. Miss. Code § 99-19-71 contains rules for eligible first-offender misdemeanors and a route for one eligible felony after five years following successful completion of all sentence terms and payment of imposed fines and costs. Exclusions and special rules are substantial, so the statute cannot be reduced to a promise based on one offense label or date.

A valid expungement order can explain why an older disposition, booking entry, or photograph no longer appears publicly. It does not justify rebuilding sealed details from other sources. A person seeking correction can send the certified order to the relevant clerk, arresting agency, Sheriff, MDOC, or registry custodian as applicable and keep proof of delivery. Public visibility, agency retention, and the historical occurrence of custody are separate issues.

Find Union County Released Inmates

Begin with identity and the last known custodian. Record the full legal name, spelling variants, birth date, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and any booking, MDOC, federal register, A-number, or court case number. Never match on name alone. The main question for the Union County Jail is precise: was the person released to the community, and if so when, or was the person sent to another custodian?

1. Call the Sheriff at 662-534-1943 and ask for current custody, the release time, release reason, and destination for the identified booking.
2. Search MS SAVIN/VINE for the person and reporting agency. Preserve the exact event wording and status time.
3. If the jail says MDOC, search the state offender record and compare birth date, conviction county, sentence date, and current location.
4. Identify the trial court from the arresting agency or case number. Obtain the bond, dismissal, sentence, commitment, revocation, or time-served order.
5. For federal or immigration movement, use the BOP locator, federal docket and USMS contact, or ICE ODLS as the custody type requires.
6. When no public search resolves the exit, request the Union County release entry and destination field in writing.

A live roster, when one exists, is designed to show people still held. Released people normally leave it. Union County does not publish a discovered official recent-release web feed, so a missing name has even less meaning. The Union County releases from the last 24 hours page explains how to define a same-day log request. For one named person, a positive exit record remains stronger than search absence.

Union County MDOC Release Search

The MDOC Inmate Search covers state offenders, not everyone booked into the Union County Jail. Search with first and last name or MDOC ID. Open the detail record and compare birth date, physical description, photo, offense data, sentence date, and county of conviction. A Union County conviction can appear while the person is housed in another county. The location and location-change date help distinguish current institutional custody from another status.

The official example detail page shows why the full record matters. It uses the exact label “Tentative Release Date,” not a guaranteed date. The same record includes separate sentences and a total sentence length. A blank field must not be turned into a predicted date. A past tentative date also does not prove release if the location still reflects custody.

The MDOC example detail record shows the state fields and their layout.

The captured example is a field demonstration, not evidence about a Union County resident or release.

Union County Release Supervision Office

Union County has no state prison identified in the reviewed MDOC directory, yet it has a local MDOC Probation & Parole Office. The office at 233 Starlyn Avenue in New Albany is a key released-person source. A person may live in the community while remaining under parole, probation, or ERS. The Mississippi State Parole Board decides parole. MDOC Community Corrections supervises the person after release.

Use the MDOC Parolee Search by first name, last name, MDOC ID, city, or county, then reconcile the match with the general offender record. County in that search can describe current supervision geography rather than conviction or jail-release location. The Union office can be asked whether public status shows a case assigned there. It should not be asked for a person’s home address, private schedule, treatment facts, victim information, or other sensitive data.

Correct Union County Release Dates

MDOC Records has a dedicated route for questions about time, jail credit, and eligibility dates. A person challenging a state tentative release date should provide the MDOC ID, relevant court order, and a focused request for the public time computation. MDOC Records can be reached at 601-933-2889 or MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us. The Union County Sheriff remains the custodian to approach when the disputed error is in a county jail card or release log.

The two agencies answer different questions. MDOC computes state terms, parole dates, ERS dates, tentative release dates, discharge dates, and eligible county-jail credit. The Sheriff records local intake, movement, and physical exit. A corrected state calculation does not rewrite a local timestamp, and a local release entry does not establish the end of a state sentence. Send each custodian the source document that bears on its own record.

Note: A court order may change the legal basis for time, but the responsible custodian must update its own official record.

Union County Release Court Records

The court file often explains why a short jail entry ended. Union County is in Mississippi’s Third Circuit Court District for felony prosecution. Justice Court handles many county misdemeanors and initial felony proceedings, while New Albany Municipal Court handles municipal matters. Ask the arresting agency or jail for the right court and case number. Then seek the docket and the signed bond, dismissal, sentence, probation, commitment, revocation, or time-served order.

The visible Union County Chancery records portal is a land-record index. It warns that the courthouse index is official, and it must not be presented as a criminal docket. Mississippi Electronic Courts offers access in participating courts, but coverage and document access vary. If MEC does not expose the case, contact the Union County Circuit Clerk at 662-534-1910 or the proper Justice or Municipal Court. An appellate search is useful only if the matter reached an appellate court.

Union County Recent Release Records

As of the research date, the official Union County website did not publish an indexed jail roster, recent-release page, 24-hour list, or 72-hour list. No supported feed URL, update schedule, field set, photo policy, or web retention period can be stated. That negative finding should not be filled with a commercial list or a current roster from another Union County. Mississippi has several same-named counties and nearby jurisdictions that search engines can confuse.

For a time-window record, give the Sheriff exact beginning and ending timestamps and ask for an existing release-log export. State whether the interval means rolling hours or calendar days. Ask for names, booking numbers, booking and release times, release codes, destination or receiving agency, and booking-photo availability where those fields are maintained and public. Require transfers to be distinguishable from community releases.

The county promotes an OCV app, but its public listing does not establish any roster, release, or mugshot module. It is accurate to call it a general county app and nothing more until the live menus are checked.

Union County Release Notifications

Mississippi calls its statewide service MS SAVIN and provides public search and notifications through VINELink. Select Mississippi, search by name or offender ID, choose the correct agency result, and read the exact custody status, location, and status date. Mississippi supports events for release, transfer, return to custody, and escape or abscond supervision. The Registration Link may carry a county registration into MDOC or other custody, helping prevent a transfer from being mistaken for freedom.

Federal paths are separate. The BOP Inmate Locator preserves records from 1982 forward. A past release date with no listed facility can show that BOP custody ended, but it does not rule out supervision or another custodian. A federal pretrial person may sit in a contract jail and not appear in BOP, which makes the federal docket and U.S. Marshals Service relevant. ICE ODLS is mainly a current locator. A zero ICE result is not a release certificate.

The official BOP locator is the federal search source.

The federal locator confirms BOP status only, so county, state, immigration, and supervision checks can still be required.

Union County Custody Status Sources

Each system answers a limited question. A current jail source shows who is held now. A county release record documents the end of one local booking. MDOC connects state sentences, locations, tentative dates, and community supervision. BOP handles federal sentences. Courts show the orders behind custody changes. Read the result within that scope and seek a receiving source when the record says transferred.

Union County Release Facilities

The facility map includes local custody, municipal arrest, state supervision, state prison, federal, and immigration branches. Only the Union County Jail is the established county detention hub in the reviewed sources. The New Albany Police Department can begin a city case but has no verified separate long-term public jail search. The local Union Probation & Parole Office is a community office, not a jail. The remaining pages explain state or national systems that may receive a person after local custody.

• Union County Jail records a local booking exit and any receiving agency.
• New Albany Police Department holding function can lead to release at the municipal stage or delivery to the county jail.
• Union Probation & Parole Office confirms public MDOC community-supervision status.
• Mississippi Department of Corrections facilities statewide hold state prisoners from Union County and record parole, ERS, transfer, or discharge.
• Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities nationwide provide the federal released-date route.
• ICE and other immigration custody nationwide require the national locator and field-office follow-up.

No state prison, BOP prison, or dedicated ICE detention site was identified within Union County. Their inclusion reflects where custody may move, not a claim that each operates a local building.
