George/Greene State Release Outcomes
George/Greene County Correctional Facility is a regional institution that houses state inmates. MDOC explains that Mississippi regional facilities operate under county sheriffs through agreements. A sheriff-appointed warden manages daily operations, while MDOC oversees compliance. That structure does not turn a state-inmate sentence or discharge into a Greene County Jail record.
A state inmate may leave George/Greene for another MDOC institution, supervised release, or complete discharge. An updated current-location field naming another prison is evidence of transfer, not community release. Parole and earned-release supervision place a person outside the institution while state authority continues. Complete discharge should be confirmed through MDOC Records or the person’s discharge certificate. The facility name alone never establishes where the person went.
| Record change | Meaning to verify | Correct source |
|---|---|---|
| Different MDOC location | Likely institutional transfer | MDOC Inmate Search |
| Parolee Search result | Community supervision | MDOC and supervising office |
| SAVIN movement notice | Release, transfer, or another reported event | Notice plus MDOC record |
| Discharge certificate | Completed state discharge | MDOC Records |
Use exact language. “No longer at George/Greene” does not mean “released in Greene County.” Follow the current location, supervision status, and actual discharge record until the custody trail is clear.
Confirm George/Greene Facility Release
The official MDOC Inmate Search is the first public state route. Search by MDOC ID when possible because it reduces same-name errors. A name search is also available. Compare identity, sentence county, offense blocks, entry date, current location and unit, sentence count, and total term before opening a detail record.
- Find the state record by MDOC ID or by full name and matching identity fields.
- Check whether George/Greene remains the current location and note any location-change date.
- Read the Tentative Release Date as a planning field, not proof of departure.
- Use MDOC Parolee Search to check for a current community-supervision record.
- Contact facility administration or MDOC Records for the actual release type, date, transfer, supervision, or discharge record.
The MDOC tool is primarily a current-inmate search. Research did not verify it as a complete archive for every fully discharged person. If no record appears, do not assume release. Check the separate parole search and ask MDOC Records for an actual discharge. The Greene County custody and release search can help distinguish a county booking from this state-inmate path.
George/Greene Release Search Fields
The MDOC detail interface can display a photograph, MDOC ID, physical descriptors, entry date, current location and unit, location-change date, sentence count, and total sentence length. Offense blocks include sentence length, county of conviction, sentence date, and the public field labeled Tentative Release Date. Those details help verify that the right state record has been found.
None of those fields alone proves actual release. A tentative date can change. A location field may update because the inmate moved to another prison. County of conviction identifies the sentencing jurisdiction, not where the person is now or where the person will live later. The actual discharge path may depend on earned-time eligibility, statutory floors, parole action, sentence credit, classification, an approved residence, a detainer, a court order, or another sentence.
- Regional facility
- A correctional institution operated locally under an agreement and MDOC oversight.
- Transfer
- A move between custodians or institutions without release to the community.
- Parole
- Conditional community release authorized by the Mississippi State Parole Board.
- Discharge
- The documented end of a sentence or supervision obligation.
Note: Preserve an MDOC location or release code exactly until the state or facility explains its meaning.
George/Greene Release Records Contact
Facility administration can confirm current local routing, while MDOC Records handles state offender time, jail credit, eligibility, and discharge records. No public business hours or fee terms were documented for either records path, so call or write for current instructions. Include the MDOC ID and identify the sentence and institution.

Ask for the actual release or discharge date, release type, institution, supervision start and end, and a disclosable sentence time sheet or discharge certificate. If the current location changed, ask whether the transaction was a transfer. Do not ask the Greene County Sheriff to certify this regional state-inmate record.
George/Greene Release Geography
The official MDOC facility profile places George/Greene County Correctional Facility at 154 Industrial Park Road in Lucedale. Lucedale is in George County. The screenshot below records that state facility source and supports the location distinction at the heart of this release path.
The official profile above shows why a searcher should not route the request by name alone. South Mississippi Correctional Institution is the state prison physically in Greene County near Leakesville, while George/Greene is the regional facility physically in George County. The names appear almost reversed from the geography.
This distinction affects more than directions. The Greene County Sheriff is not automatically the custodian of a George/Greene state-inmate release record. A released person does not necessarily return to Greene County, even if the conviction or family connection is there. Verify an approved community location through the appropriate supervision channel, and do not publish or infer a private address from the facility name.
Regional State-Inmate Release Authority
Regional facilities combine local daily management with state corrections oversight. MDOC describes the sheriff as appointing the warden and the regional institution as operating through an agreement. State inmates remain within the MDOC identity, sentence, parole, transfer, and discharge framework. That division of roles helps route a request to the office that actually controls the record.
Call facility administration for present placement or local processing questions. Use MDOC for offender identity, time computation, current state location, parole status, and discharge documentation. If a court order changes the sentence, the court record supplies legal authority while MDOC records the correctional effect. A single office may not hold every part of the chain.
| Question | Office to ask |
|---|---|
| Is the state inmate presently at George/Greene? | Facility administration and MDOC current location |
| Did the person transfer to another MDOC institution? | MDOC offender record and Records |
| Is community supervision active? | MDOC Parolee Search and supervising office |
| Has the state sentence fully discharged? | MDOC Records or discharge certificate |
George/Greene Programs and Records
MDOC describes educational, vocational, treatment, faith-based, and reentry programming across the regional-facility system. Such programs can provide context for correctional life and preparation, but the general profile does not prove that a named person enrolled, completed a program, earned time, or secured release.
Keep program facts apart from case facts. An actual release decision depends on the individual sentence, eligibility rules, credits, discipline, Board action where applicable, and completion of MDOC processing. A program description should never be used as a substitute for the person’s state record. Ask MDOC for the document that supports the claimed date and release type.
George/Greene Release Supervision Alerts
For parole or ERS, search the MDOC Parolee Search by ID, name, city, or county. A result supports the presence of a community-supervision record, but it does not establish that every part of the sentence is complete. Absence also does not prove full discharge. Contact MDOC Records or the supervising office when the result is missing or unclear.
Mississippi SAVIN/VINE can send alerts for MDOC release from custody, transfer, temporary movement, return to custody, escape, and abscond supervision. That broad set of events makes the wording important. A transfer or movement alert should not be restated as community release. Confirm the reporting agency, effective event, and destination with MDOC.
The shared George/Greene Probation and Parole Office is also in Lucedale, at 38 London Street, Suite A, and can be reached at 601-947-3479. Its hours and check-in process are not posted. Call before visiting. That office is a supervision contact, not the custodian of the original institution’s complete discharge file.
Note: A supervision record proves an ongoing state relationship, not a complete release from all MDOC obligations.
George/Greene Actual Discharge Proof
MDOC says exact release information is communicated through the case manager, release processing can take 30 to 45 days, parole and ERS dates are not guaranteed, and a discharge certificate must be received before release. For that reason, a tentative web date should never be presented as a past physical exit.
The strongest state confirmation is a completed MDOC custody update, a supervision record that matches the transition, a discharge certificate, or an MDOC Records response. If another custodian is named, follow that receiving agency. If the person is on parole or ERS, describe the event as supervised release. If MDOC confirms sentence expiration, describe it as discharge. Precision prevents a transfer from being mistaken for freedom.
