Find Stone County Release Dates

Stone County Release Date Meanings

Stone County records use two important prospective labels. The county roster detail says “Schedule Release Date.” The MDOC offender detail says “Tentative Release Date.” MDOC also computes an earned release supervision date and a maximum release date. These terms belong to different custody ledgers. The county label concerns a local booking. State labels concern a sentence administered by the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

A Stone County forecast can change. The Stone County field may be blank or show N/A, and it appears on an active-custody detail page. The MDOC date can move as sentence credit, classification, later orders, or other holds change. An actual Stone County release is a completed event supported by the released view and sheriff’s docket for a local booking, or by MDOC custody history and discharge documents for a state sentence.

A pretrial detainee has no fixed sentence end. The next custody step may depend on bond, a judicial order, case disposition, or a transfer. Do not apply state earned-time arithmetic to that person. A sentenced inmate has a term that can be calculated, but even that calculation must be read in the correct agency record.

Find Stone County Release Dates

Begin by deciding whether the person has a Stone County booking or an MDOC sentence. The shared Wiggins facility can hold local detainees and state prisoners. Leaving its roster can mean release to the community, transfer within MDOC, or delivery to another authority. The location alone does not answer the question.

1. Identify the custody authority from the booking, commitment, court case, or MDOC number.
2. For a local booking, open the official Stone County roster detail and read the exact “Schedule Release Date” field.
3. For an MDOC sentence, search the MDOC Inmate Search by ID when possible, then compare the person’s identifiers and sentence fields.
4. Check whether the state location reflects a secure institution, parole, ERS, or another community status.
5. Review the sentencing order and jail-credit terms with the proper court when the calculation is disputed.
6. Confirm the completed event through the Stone County jail docket or MDOC time sheet, custody history, and discharge certificate.

For a Stone County sentence, contact the Stone County Correctional Facility at 601-928-7042 ext. 0 and request the commitment, jail-credit entry, time computation, release authority, and any other-agency hold. The broader Stone County release-record path explains how the sheriff’s durable Stone County jail docket distinguishes release from transfer.

Note: The sheriff cannot resolve an MDOC sentence computation merely because the person was housed at the regional facility in Wiggins.

Stone County MDOC Date Fields

The public state result contains more than one Stone County release date. Search by MDOC ID for the best match. With a name search, compare photograph, date of birth, county of conviction, offense, sentence date, entry date, location, unit, and total sentence information. A blank tentative date does not mean immediate Stone County release or discharge.

The official MDOC sample detail structure shows the public result and its tentative release field. The screenshot below matches that projected-release subject.

The state detail demonstrates why the precise field label and custody location must be recorded together rather than reduced to a single promised date.

Stone County Earned-Time Rules

Mississippi Code § 47-5-138 provides the earned-time and ERS framework. For a qualifying sentence imposed after June 30, 1995, subsection five allows 4.5 days of earned-time allowance for each 30 days served for satisfactory conduct and performance. The allowance is capped at 15 percent of the sentence. That arithmetic creates the familiar 85 percent shorthand: the full term minus a possible maximum 15 percent allowance.

This is not a promise that every Stone County inmate leaves at 85 percent. Eligibility and satisfactory performance matter. Section 47-5-139 and other provisions impose exclusions and limits. The controlling Stone County answer can depend on offense and sentence dates, mandatory-time rules, specified offense classes, habitual or life status, escape-related history, and credit forfeiture. The statute and present MDOC time sheet control, not a rough calculation made from a sentence length shown online.

ERS is also a legal status, not merely a subtraction. Under § 47-5-138, a qualifying early placement continues as earned release supervision until sentence expiration. The person keeps inmate status and remains under MDOC jurisdiction. If ERS is revoked, the remaining term is governed by the statute, and time in the community may not be credited as a reader might expect.

For a Stone County jail sentence, no official county good-time policy was found. No official weekend or holiday early-release policy was located either. Do not copy the MDOC 15 percent framework onto a local detainee or claim that a date falling on Sunday moves to Friday. Ask for the county commitment, credit record, calculation, and release authority.

Note: “85 percent” describes possible maximum earned-time arithmetic in qualifying cases, not a universal Stone County actual-release rule.

What Changes Stone County Release Dates

MDOC computes Stone County sentence milestones from the governing orders and credit record. The agency’s inmate handbook says it establishes parole, ERS, tentative release or discharge, and maximum release dates. Eligible pre-sentence jail credit is part of the calculation. Concurrent sentences run together to the extent ordered, while consecutive terms follow one another. Later corrections can alter the public Stone County date.

A projected date can pass while the listed location remains institutional. Do not backdate release. Request the current computation and ask what record explains the change. If a court has ordered release but the person remains listed, another hold, processing time, a separate booking, or data lag may account for the conflict.

Stone County ERS Date Quirks

Mississippi’s distinct ERS, tentative release, and maximum release calculations create an unusual public-record pattern. An MDOC record may name an Earned Release Supervision unit as the location and still show a future tentative release date. Both fields can be accurate because the person has left a secure prison setting but remains an inmate under state jurisdiction until the sentence reaches its legal end.

The MDOC supervision types page explains that the agency calculates these milestones. The ERS date marks a possible conditional transition. The tentative date reflects the current computation. The maximum date is the outside endpoint in that record. None should be silently renamed “actual release date.”

Stone County eligibility is not enough. MDOC reviews behavior, classification, and suitable release arrangements. Its public FAQ says planning can take 30 to 45 days and a discharge certificate must be received before departure. This localizes the Stone County verification task: read the state record, then ask MDOC Records for the document that shows what actually happened.

Stone County Parole Date Checks

A Stone County parole eligibility date is separate from a tentative release date. Eligibility means the Mississippi State Parole Board may consider the Stone County case under Mississippi Code § 47-7-3. It does not mean the Board granted parole. The Board’s exact action and MDOC’s later custody record must be read together.

Even a grant may come before practical release steps are complete. Residence and other arrangements may need review. A detainer can redirect the person to another authority. The state record may then show community supervision, continued institutional custody, or a new location. For public supervision verification after departure, use the Stone field office and state parolee search. The Stone County parole and probation record explains the status, while a pending change can be watched through the VINELink Release Check.

Note: The Parole Board decides parole, while MDOC maintains the custody calculation and carries out approved release processing.

Confirm Stone County Actual Release

For a local booking, check the Stone County “Released Last 72hrs” view, then obtain the jail-docket entry. Mississippi Code § 19-25-63 requires the docket to record confinement duration, how the person was released or discharged, and the release warrant or penitentiary transfer receipt. That durable entry distinguishes freedom in the community from a handoff to MDOC or another agency.

Record the time of every online check. The county release view rolls forward, while MDOC can revise its public computation after a new order or records review. If two sources disagree, compare booking number, MDOC ID, sentence county, and dates before asking the proper custodian to reconcile them. A county row and a state record may describe separate parts of the same custody chain. One can show departure from Wiggins while the other shows intake at a state institution. That sequence is a transfer, not an actual return to the community.

For an MDOC sentence, request the time sheet, custody-status history, actual placement or discharge date, and discharge certificate. MDOC Records lists P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225; 601-933-2889; and MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us. The written MDOC records-request portal is the formal access path. MDOC does not accept public-record requests by phone.

A focused request should identify the MDOC number and ask for the present time sheet, legal status history, executed release or placement date, and any discharge certificate. For a local booking, give the full name, date of birth if known, booking number, approximate dates, and arresting agency. Ask the sheriff whether the jail docket shows community release or delivery to another authority. This wording seeks the custody outcome without asking staff to guess about the whole criminal case.

VINELink can send operational notice of a later Stone County status change, but it does not replace the agency release record. When a county release mentions another authority, verify the destination intake before saying the person returned to the community. The same rule applies when the Stone County regional facility transfers a state or federal detainee.
