Why This Resource Exists
Mississippi law provides public access to many government records, but release information is divided across agencies. The Hancock County Sheriff's Office controls the county jail transaction. The Mississippi Department of Corrections operates state offender and parolee searches. MDOC Community Corrections supervises many people outside jail or prison, while the Mississippi State Parole Board makes parole decisions. Federal prison releases belong in the Bureau of Prisons system, and immigration detention uses a separate ICE locator.
This site organizes those boundaries in plain language. It explains what a county release record can show, how to ask for it, how to distinguish release from transfer, and where an official status may persist after the current roster changes.
