Noxubee County Community Work Center Releases

Noxubee CWC Release Paths

Noxubee County Community Work Center is an MDOC Community Work Center. Its minimum-security residents remain in the state correctional system even though the facility is in Noxubee County. A county sheriff release log does not control their status. MDOC's records, the Mississippi State Parole Board process, Community Corrections files, and the person's discharge papers supply the relevant trail.

Several movements can look like release from the building. An authorized work detail places a resident outside the center for a limited purpose while custody continues. A transfer changes the MDOC location but does not place the person in the community. Earned-release supervision, commonly called ERS, allows community placement while inmate status and MDOC jurisdiction remain. Parole also continues state supervision. Full discharge is established by the controlling certificate or order.

Note: No facility-specific public release roster or CWC discharge list was found, and the county sheriff's app does not control MDOC records.

Confirm Noxubee CWC Release

The correct lookup starts with the MDOC Inmate Search. Search by MDOC ID when it is known. A name search can return a same-name record, so compare birth date, physical description, county of conviction, offense, entry date, sentence date, and sentence length. The detail page may then show Location, Unit, Location Change Date, sentence fields, and the official label “Tentative Release Date.”

1. Enter the MDOC ID, or use First Name and Last Name. Match more than the name before relying on the result.
2. Read Location and Unit. A CWC, another MDOC site, or a community-supervision label describes different stages of state control.
3. Record the Location Change Date and Tentative Release Date. Neither field alone proves the day of physical release.
4. If parole is claimed, check the separate Parolee Search and compare its county, supervising officer, and Flat Time Date with the correct person.
5. For actual completion, request the discharge certificate, actual release or discharge date and type, sentence computation, and location or status history from MDOC.

Mississippi SAVIN/VINE is a supplemental status and notification channel for participating agencies and MDOC offenders. Search the exact person and read the reporting agency with the result. A release alert means release from that custodian, while a transfer or “other custody” notice can mark continued custody elsewhere. The underlying MDOC record still controls the exact date, type, and destination.

The MDOC record layout shows why the search must be read field by field. The captured official example detail source documents those fields.

Noxubee CWC Release Search Fields

MDOC's public search has three inputs: First Name, Last Name, and MDOC ID Number. The detail record is much broader. It can include the person's MDOC number, physical identifiers, Entry Date, Location, Unit, Location Change Date, Number of Sentences, Total Length, offense, Sentence Length, County of Conviction, Sentence Date, photo, and Tentative Release Date. Those fields help distinguish identity, current placement, and sentence timing.

Do not expect an explicit “Released” or “Discharged” label for every former resident. The reviewed official pages did not establish that a fully discharged person will remain publicly searchable forever. An absent result is not proof of discharge. MDOC's separate Parolee Search can verify a public parole record by name, ID, city, or county. Its Flat Time Date concerns sentence end and should not be treated as the prison-exit date.

Tentative Release Date

MDOC's changeable estimate, not an appointment or discharge certificate.

Location Change Date

The date tied to a recorded placement change, which may be a transfer rather than release.

ERS

Earned-release supervision in the community while inmate status and MDOC jurisdiction continue.

Flat Time Date

A sentence-end concept shown in a parolee record, not necessarily the physical release date.

Noxubee CWC Release Records

The facility can answer current operational questions, but MDOC's written records process is the stronger route for historical release or discharge proof. No facility-specific release desk hours were published in the research. Calls about sentence calculation should go through the MDOC case or records process rather than to county jail staff, who do not administer a CWC resident's state sentence.

MDOC requires public-record requests in writing and does not accept telephone requests for that purpose. Use the MDOC GovQA request portal. Identify the person by full name, MDOC number, birth date, county or cause number, and a useful date range. Ask for the discharge certificate, actual release or discharge date and type, sentence computation or time sheet, and releasable location or status history.

Actual search, review, duplication, and mailing costs may apply, and advance payment can be required. Request an itemized estimate. Central MDOC contact is 301 North Lamar Street, Jackson, MS 39201, at 601-359-5600, but that telephone line provides only general or limited information and is not the written request channel.

Note: A general telephone answer can guide the search, but the written MDOC response or discharge certificate supplies durable release evidence.

Noxubee CWC Work Release Status

MDOC describes the Noxubee CWC as a minimum-security setting with work details for public agencies, counseling, GED study, religious programming, and gradual reintroduction. These programs explain why a resident may be seen beyond the facility grounds. They do not convert an approved activity into community discharge.

The image identifies the MDOC facility behind the release search and reinforces that this is a state corrections record path.

Historical local reporting described public work activity, but a dated report cannot establish any current resident's release. Confirm Location, Unit, and status directly. A resident can work outside the center and return to it, move to a different MDOC unit, or later enter ERS or parole. Each event leaves a different record.

Noxubee CWC ERS Release Status

ERS is a statutory form of early release under which the person serves the remaining sentence in the community. Under Mississippi Code § 47-5-138(6), inmate status and MDOC jurisdiction continue until sentence expiration. The supervising structure resembles parole, but the legal route is not the same as a discretionary Parole Board decision.

Parole follows its own decision track. An eligibility date only means the Board may consider release. It is not an order to leave prison. MDOC also states that parole and ERS dates are not guaranteed. Residence and travel plans must be checked, release preparation can take 30 to 45 days, and the person must receive a discharge certificate before the applicable release process is complete.

The local Noxubee County Probation and Parole Office is at 501 West Pearl Street, Macon, MS 39341, telephone 662-726-4427 and fax 662-726-9101. No official hours or walk-in process was found. The official local supervision page is the proper source for current instructions when the public search does not resolve the supervising office.

A parolee record can show county and supervising officer, yet it may not state the exact moment the person left the CWC. Pair it with the MDOC release papers or status history. The Noxubee County probation and parole resource provides the broader supervision distinctions.

Noxubee CWC Tentative Release Dates

MDOC uses the label Tentative Release Date. It also calculates ERS and maximum release dates. The tentative field is a computation, not confirmation that a gate event occurred. Sentence structure, qualifying jail credit, statutory eligibility, classification, conduct, forfeited or restored time, multiple terms, and approval of a release plan can change the outcome.

For many eligible post-June 1995 sentences, Mississippi Code § 47-5-138 generally permits 4.5 days of earned time per 30 days served and generally caps that allowance at 15 percent. That rule has exceptions. Section 47-5-139 excludes specified categories, and the separate trusty-time law has its own limits. A simple percentage should never replace MDOC's actual computation.

The current sentence facts control. A person may reach ERS and remain under MDOC authority, obtain parole after a Board decision, transfer to another unit, or finish the sentence. These outcomes can share a date range while carrying very different legal status.

Note: A tentative date can change without a new conviction because credits, conduct, classification, sentence structure, and release-plan review still matter.

Noxubee CWC Release Population Context

An MDOC daily population report for February 2024 listed a “Noxubee Satellite Facility” capacity of 54 and average population of 34. The same dated report separately listed a Noxubee transitional category with capacity 38 and average population 14. These figures document separate operating categories at that point in time.

None is a current count. The figures cannot be converted into annual releases, a present-day capacity claim, or a prediction about one resident's departure. Their value is narrower: MDOC tracked distinct facility and transition categories, which is another reason to read the person's Location and Unit instead of assuming that any movement means discharge.

Noxubee CWC Release and ICE

An immigration detainer can affect where a person goes after state custody. ICE describes a detainer as a request for notice and up to 48 additional hours so federal officers may assume custody. If that happens, release from MDOC becomes a transfer to a new custodian rather than unrestricted community release.

The official ICE detainer explanation supplies the legal distinction. Confirm whether ICE actually assumed custody through the MDOC destination or status record. Then use the Online Detainee Locator with a nine-digit A-number and country of birth, or exact biographical details. The locator excludes minors and has coverage and delay limits.

ICE guidance states that its public locator generally includes people released from ICE custody only within the prior 60 days. An old event may therefore require the underlying MDOC record, immigration paperwork, or an appropriate federal inquiry. A detainer alone does not prove pickup, and a missing ICE result does not prove that no transfer occurred.

The county jail route is different. Someone first committed from the Noxubee County Adult Detention Center enters MDOC through a custody transition. Later departure from the CWC must be confirmed in the state and receiving-agency records, not by returning to the old county booking display.
