Issaquena Facility Release Paths
Issaquena County Correctional Facility is a county-operated regional correctional facility within MDOC’s network. Under the regional agreement, the sheriff controls staffing and daily administration while MDOC oversees the contract population. Recent reporting confirms that convicted state inmates and pretrial county detainees occupy the same campus.
A local detainee can leave for the community on bond, after dismissal, by court order, or upon time served. The facility booking record should show the physical exit or movement, and the court file explains its authority. An MDOC inmate follows the state route. That person may move to another MDOC institution, enter parole or earned-release supervision, or reach maximum discharge. A transfer is continued confinement, while parole and ERS are conditional community releases under MDOC jurisdiction.
The key question is who owned the sentence or booking. Ask staff for the legal custodian and the booking or MDOC number. The Issaquena County released inmate search gives the full record ladder for older or uncertain cases.
Confirm Issaquena Facility Releases
Start with direct facility confirmation, then select the matching record system. A common name is not enough. Use full name, date of birth, booking number, MDOC ID, and approximate custody dates where known.
- Call the facility at 662-873-2153. Ask whether the person remains there, entered the community, or transferred.
- For a local case, ask for release date, time, and recorded disposition. Compare that answer with the final court event.
- For a state sentence, use the MDOC Inmate Search by ID or name. Read Location and Tentative Release Date, but do not treat that date as actual release.
- If the state record disappears, check the separate Parolee Search and request the time sheet, status history, and discharge certificate from MDOC Records.
- Use VINE as a status or alert lead, then confirm its event with the reporting custodian.
The MDOC active search is not a promised permanent discharge archive. Parole or ERS may place a person in the community while supervision continues. A court order can authorize local release before physical processing is finished. Each of these gaps is resolved by the source agency’s record.
Issaquena Facility Records Contact
The official MDOC facility listing supplies the site’s verified name, address, telephone, and regional model. No public records hours, local request form, fee schedule, roster, or photo gallery was found. Call before travel and ask who is custodian of the specific county or state record.

Mail: P.O. Box 220
Phone: 662-873-2153
Public records hours: not published
For a county booking record, a written request may be routed to the Issaquena County Sheriff’s Office, P.O. Box 147, Mayersville, MS 39113; telephone 662-873-2781; fax 662-873-4500. Identify the person and date range. Ask for the booking sheet, release date and time, disposition or movement code, booking photograph, and nonexempt transfer information.
For state custody, formal requests use MDOC GovQA. Seek the time sheet, jail-credit calculation, eligibility dates, status history, release or discharge action, and discharge certificate. MDOC Records handles offender time, jail credit, and eligibility dates but does not accept a formal inmate-record request by telephone.
Issaquena Facility Population Snapshot
The official September 2025 MDOC fact sheet listed capacity at 328 and population at 312. These are a one-month operating snapshot. They are not annual bookings, annual releases, or average length of stay.
The mixed population matters more than either number. An MDOC search result may show “ISSAQUENA CCF” for a convicted state inmate, while a locally booked pretrial detainee may require facility and court records. Neither group can be inferred from the street address alone.
The official MDOC facility page documents the current facility listing and regional operating model.
The captured source confirms the facility identity and contact channel used to begin a release check.
Issaquena Facility Closure History
The regional facility opened in May 1997, according to an official 2012 MDOC annual report. Older sources may call it Issaquena County Regional Correctional Facility. The county board moved toward closure in December 2019 because of financial problems, and MDOC issued a response about state inmate placement.
Current MDOC listings, the September 2025 fact sheet, and October 2025 reporting establish that the facility continued operating. This history explains stale search results that describe a closed jail. Use the current official listing when checking a release. Historical program descriptions, including GED, adult basic education, pre-release, life skills, and computer training, should remain date-labeled because they do not prove current availability.
ICE Transfers from Issaquena Facility
No federal prison, ICE detention center, or separate municipal lockup was verified in Issaquena County. Federal or immigration custody can still arise after a transfer. If the facility says ICE took custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator rather than calling that movement a community release.
ICE says its locator covers current detention and people released from ICE custody within the last 60 days. Search by exact nine-digit A-number and country of birth, or exact name, country of birth, and optional birth date. An ICE result concerns ICE custody only. Likewise, “released from ICE” does not resolve every other jurisdiction.
If no result appears, verify spelling, country of birth, and number format before drawing any conclusion. ODLS does not search people under 18. The federal path remains separate from the county booking record and MDOC sentence systems, even when the transfer began at the Issaquena facility.
Two Issaquena Custody Pathways
A person can leave county-controlled booking status and still remain in the same building or elsewhere in MDOC custody. The reverse is also important: an MDOC inmate may leave secure custody on parole or ERS yet remain under state jurisdiction. Every Issaquena facility release check should start with legal custody, not a guess based on location.
| Person held under | Primary release proof | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or county authority | Facility booking exit | Court order or disposition |
| MDOC sentence | MDOC time sheet or discharge action | Parolee Search and Community Corrections if conditional |
| Federal BOP | BOP locator result | Check other custodians or supervised release |
| ICE | ODLS result | Confirm the limited custody scope |
Note: “Left Issaquena County Correctional Facility” never identifies the destination or legal result without the movement or release record.
Issaquena Facility Release Logistics
No official local source publishes daily release times, weekend practices, the exit door, a place for family to wait, bus pickup, or property-return steps. Call before travel. A tentative date or alert should not be treated as a pickup appointment.
MDOC’s state-prison policy provides facts only for its prisoners. A case manager verifies travel plans, processing may take 30 to 45 days, and the inmate receives a discharge certificate before release. If requested, MDOC may buy an in-state bus ticket to the destination or nearest city. None of those procedures can be assumed for a local bond-out.
County booking records are retained ten years after release under schedule GSC 08-23. That long retention makes a focused request useful even without an online roster. It does not require the facility to keep a release online for any period.
Issaquena Facility Record Scope
The county booking record and the MDOC inmate master file are not interchangeable. County booking material may contain identity, commitment date, writ or warrant details, charge information, time to serve, costs, jail fees, and discharge date. The county schedule retains it for ten years after release. Ask for the existing booking sheet and exit or movement entry, allowing redaction of any protected part.
An MDOC master file can include commitment, criminal history, classification, conduct, time computation, release, and detainer material. Authenticated reproductions follow a permanent retention schedule. This gives a former state prisoner a records route even when the active Inmate Search no longer returns a result. It does not make the state file the right source for a person held only on local pretrial authority.
Transport records can answer a third question. General county transport logs are retained five years, while individual-inmate transport records are kept ten years after release. If staff says a person left Issaquena County Correctional Facility for another agency, request the nonexempt movement date and receiving authority. That entry can prevent a transfer from being mislabeled as community release.
Issaquena Court Release Confirmation
For a locally held person, the court file explains the authority behind release. A bond order permits conditional pretrial release, while a dismissal or acquittal resolves the charge in a different way. A sentencing order, jail-credit entry, revocation, or final disposition may also control the result. None proves physical exit by itself.
Issaquena Circuit Court uses Ninth Circuit MEC. Read the final order or docket event, then pair it with the facility’s date and time of departure. The building also holds state inmates, so a court document from a county case should not be attached to an MDOC prisoner merely because both people were housed at the same campus.
