Noxubee Detention Release Destinations
The Noxubee County Adult Detention Center is the primary local custody facility. Leaving it can mean several different things. A person may go home after bond, recognizance, dismissal, time served, sentence completion, or another court order. The sheriff's custody event should record the actual date and time, the release reason or authority, and whether the person went to the community.
A transfer ends physical presence at the Noxubee County facility but does not end custody. The person may be committed to the Mississippi Department of Corrections, returned to another county, taken by a federal or immigration agency, or moved for medical care. A receiving-agency or destination field is therefore central. The legal question is not just whether the person left this building. It is who held the person next.
A missing name is not proof of community release. Ask whether the event was release, transfer, or another agency's pickup.
Confirm Noxubee Detention Releases
No official online inmate roster, booking-detail page, or release feed was located for the Noxubee County Adult Detention Center. Confirmation starts with the Sheriff's Office and then follows the destination in its record. A narrow request is more useful than a broad request for every jail document.
- Confirm the person's full name, booking date or range, cause number, and booking number when known.
- Ask the jail or records custodian whether the person remains in Noxubee custody, entered the community, or transferred.
- Request the booking sheet, custody history, release event, actual release date and time, release authority, destination, and receiving agency.
- Read the court docket and obtain the signed bond, dismissal, judgment, or sentencing order that explains the event.
- If the record names another custodian, use that agency's locator and request process to trace continued custody.
The full county search and records workflow is also set out on the Noxubee County released inmates home page. A durable written record is stronger than an oral status update when the exact time, reason, or destination matters.
Noxubee Detention Release Records
A useful county release record ties the event to one booking and one person. It should allow the reader to distinguish a true community release from a transfer. The custodian may maintain fields under different labels, so request the facts rather than demanding a custom form.
| Requested field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Booking number and identity | Links the release to the correct custody episode. |
| Actual release date and time | Records when Noxubee County custody ended. |
| Release reason or authority | Distinguishes bond, time served, dismissal, sentence completion, and other events. |
| Destination | Shows community release or the next place named in the record. |
| Receiving agency | Identifies MDOC, another county, ICE, or another custodian. |
| Cause number and court order | Connects the event to its legal basis. |
Mississippi's Public Records Act, Title 25, Chapter 61, governs requests for existing public records. No Noxubee-specific form, fee schedule, records email, or records-unit hours was found. Ask for electronic copies and an itemized cost estimate before work begins. If information is withheld, request the legal basis and any portion that can be released after redaction.
Ask for the booking sheet and custody history along with the release log when names or dates could match more than one event. A booking photograph can help tie a requested image to that booking, but it does not prove the later custody result. Likewise, a bond amount does not prove that bond was posted. The recorded release event and signed court order provide the stronger pair.
A custodian need only provide an existing record, not create a new report or decide what an entry means. Framing the request around a narrow date range and named fields makes it easier to identify the existing log. For a time-window request, state the calendar dates and applicable time zone rather than asking broadly for “recent releases.”
Noxubee Detention Contact Check
The current official sheriff OCV app supplies an office contact. It conflicts with other directory information and appears tied to the courthouse complex. Treat it as the app's current office listing, not as a verified booking-desk line. Confirm that the person answering is the jail or public-record custodian before sending a request.

Official sheriff web and app page
No official detention records email, release desk hours, public release time, property-return procedure, or current bond schedule was located. Those gaps should be taken directly to the facility. A question about a past event is best followed by a written record request.
Noxubee Jail Transfer History
Noxubee County's local history makes destination checks especially important. During past overcrowding, regional reporting documented Noxubee detainees housed in Lowndes, Oktibbeha, Clay, Kemper, or Winston County facilities. That dated report is not a list of current placements. It does show why absence from a local building cannot, by itself, establish release.
When staff say someone is “not here,” ask a second question: was the person released to the community, transferred, returned to another jurisdiction, or picked up by another authority? The release log should identify the event. If another county is named, contact that facility with the booking and transfer facts instead of searching a Noxubee release list that does not exist.
Note: Historical placement evidence proves that transfers occurred, but it does not identify where any person is held today.
Noxubee Detention Court Proof
The jail event and the court order answer different questions. The jail record shows when physical custody ended and where the person went. A Noxubee court record can show the bond order, dismissal, plea, sentence, jail credit, probation order, revocation, or final judgment that supplied legal authority.
Noxubee Circuit Court joined Mississippi Electronic Courts on November 6, 2023. Its official page defines flags such as CLOSED, EXPUNGED, SEALED, Probation, PRS Violation Pending, MDOC Warrant Issued, and Final Judgment Issued. Those labels help locate a case, but they do not state the time someone walked out. Obtain the underlying order from the Sixteenth Circuit Court source.
Misdemeanor or preliminary matters may be held by a justice or municipal court rather than Circuit Court. If MEC has no match, use the cause number to identify the court. Older or expunged matters may have restricted public access.
Noxubee Release or MDOC Transfer
A commitment to MDOC is not community release. The Noxubee County record should show the transfer and receiving agency. Once MDOC assumes custody, use the state Inmate Search by MDOC ID or name, then compare birth date, county of conviction, sentence, Location, Unit, and Location Change Date.
The state record may show a Tentative Release Date. That is a forecast, not proof that release happened. ERS can place a person in the community while MDOC retains inmate status and jurisdiction. Parole also continues supervision. For an actual state discharge, request the discharge certificate and status history from MDOC. County jail staff do not control the state sentence or its later release date.
- Transfer
- Movement to another custodian while custody continues.
- ERS
- Earned-release supervision in the community under continuing MDOC jurisdiction.
- Discharge
- Formal completion shown by the controlling certificate or order.
Noxubee Release and ICE Holds
An immigration detainer can turn a county “release” into a handoff. ICE describes a detainer as a request for notice before release and for custody to continue up to 48 hours beyond the time it would otherwise end so DHS can assume custody. The sheriff record should show whether ICE actually took the person.
The official ICE detainer explanation illustrates that distinction.
The source clarifies why the receiving agency must be checked before a Noxubee County departure is described as freedom from custody.
If ICE took custody, use its Online Detainee Locator with an A-number and country of birth, or exact name and country of birth. ICE generally includes released detainees only for about 60 days, subject to system limits. No federal or ICE detention facility was identified in Noxubee County.
Noxubee Detention Center History
The present facility opened in 2016 and replaced a jail built in 1977. WCBI reported space for roughly 35 people, separate accommodation for women and lockdown, video visitation, room to expand, and an ability to house people for other jurisdictions. These are dated opening details, not a current count.
The WCBI opening report provides the local facility context.
The image is historical context for the current detention center, not evidence about any person's custody or release.
Older Noxubee jail buildings now serve civic uses, including county offices or a library. An old address may lead to a building with no current custody files. Current release questions belong with the Sheriff's Office and the active facility's records custodian.
