Walthall County Release Meaning

A release record describes the end of one agency's custody event. For the Walthall County Detention Center, that event may end through bond, a court order, dismissal, time served, completion of a local sentence, or transfer. The Walthall County Sheriff's Office keeps the booking-side record. A court owns the order or case disposition. If Mississippi Department of Corrections custody follows, MDOC owns the state movement and sentence records.

“Released” does not always mean free in the community. A transfer to MDOC, another county, a federal authority, treatment placement, or immigration custody closes the Walthall booking while custody continues. The release authority and destination matter. A bond release is also not a dismissal. It ends jail custody before trial while the court case proceeds. These distinctions keep one short roster entry from being read as a final case outcome.

Walthall County Release Types

The same word can describe very different legal events. Walthall County released inmates should be traced through the record tied to the actual exit type, not through a single database used for every case.

Death ends custody through a different event and must not be described as release to the community. A detainer can also cause an immediate handoff. When the Sheriff card does not state enough, ask for the existing release sheet or log entry rather than asking staff to draw a legal conclusion.

Walthall County Release Record Fields

The official Walthall released view links the booking to the exit. Its fields help separate people with similar names and distinguish a completed event from a future estimate. The profile may add charge or arresting-agency detail, but the Sheriff warns that the web copy is a convenience record and cannot certify its own accuracy or authenticity.

The page retains released cards for only a rolling 48-hour period. It is not a permanent archive. Court filings usually remain after the card expires, while MDOC, BOP, and ICE keep separate records for their own custody systems.

Request Walthall County Release Records

A historical Walthall jail release requires a focused request to the Walthall County Sheriff's Office. Ask for an existing record, such as the booking and release sheet or release-log entry. Include the full name, aliases, an approximate booking or release date, and the booking number when known. Sensitive identifiers should not be sent through unsecured email.

1. Call the Sheriff's 24-hour number at 601-876-3481 and ask for the preferred secure submission route.
2. Describe the precise record and event, including the recorded release time, authority or type, destination agency if public, bond entry, and booking photo.
3. Ask for electronic copies, a cost estimate before work exceeds a stated amount, and nonexempt portions after redaction.
4. Save the response with the booking number and court cause number so later court or agency records can be matched.

No county-specific request form, copy fee, photo fee, or long-term Sheriff archive schedule was verified. The Sheriff departments and services page is the official contact starting point. The site's contact form is not monitored at all hours and warns against sending private data.

Note: Request the release sheet apart from an investigative report because different exemptions may apply to each record.

Walthall County Release Records Law

The Mississippi Public Records Act covers documentary material, including photographs, kept for public business. Under Mississippi Code Section 25-61-5, an agency may use reasonable written procedures. If it has no procedure, access is due within one working day. A procedure normally cannot place production or denial beyond seven working days. When production cannot occur by then, the agency must give a specific written reason. Without agreement, production generally cannot run past fourteen working days.

Denials must be written and identify an exemption. Nonexempt parts must be separated from exempt content where reasonably possible. Actual search, review, duplication, redaction, and mailing costs may be charged. A person who receives no lawful response can review the Mississippi Ethics Commission records complaint process. This framework does not promise that every jail document is public or free.

Walthall Bond Release Records

Walthall released cards retain a Bond field. A dollar value or “denied” notation does not show why the person left. Justice Court may conduct an initial appearance, preliminary proceeding, or bond hearing, while the Sheriff records the physical exit. The useful pair is the executed jail release sheet plus the court's bond entry. No official Walthall County bond schedule or payment-method guide was found.

The Walthall court-system description separates the courts by role. Justice Court handles misdemeanors and early felony matters outside municipalities. Tylertown Municipal Court handles city matters. Circuit Court handles felony prosecutions and appeals. The correct clerk depends on where the case was filed.

Walthall Release Offices Differ

Three functions share 807 Magnolia Avenue in Tylertown: the Sheriff and jail, Justice Court, and the MDOC probation and parole office. The shared location can hide a firm records boundary. The Sheriff owns booking and release data. Justice Court owns its bond and preliminary entries. MDOC owns state supervision data. Asking the office that created the fact avoids a round of incomplete answers.

Felony disposition and sentence records are held by Circuit Court at 200 Ball Avenue. Those files can outlast the county's short release display. Mississippi Electronic Courts offers a court-selection and access route, but online document coverage varies. A clerk-confirmed order is stronger than a docket summary, and neither should be confused with the jail's physical release timestamp.

Find Walthall County Released Inmates

Start with the agency that last held the person. The path below distinguishes a Walthall jail exit from state prison, federal custody, and an immigration handoff. It also protects against treating roster silence as proof.

1. Open the official Walthall roster selector and choose “48 Hour Release” for a recent county-jail event.
2. Search first or last name, check aliases, sort by date, and compare booking numbers and timestamps. Open the profile when present.
3. If the person appears only under Current Inmates, the Sheriff presently reports local custody. If missing from both tabs, call or request the release record.
4. For an MDOC commitment, search the separate inmate and parolee forms. A local bond release may never appear there.
5. Check the proper court for bond, dismissal, sentence, revocation, or another disposition. Then use BOP or ICE only when federal or immigration custody is relevant.

The Walthall County 24-hour release method filters the official 48-hour source by timestamp. A transfer must be followed in the receiving system. If the exact legal event matters, obtain the source record instead of relying only on a web card.

Walthall County Released Roster

The Sheriff publishes two views for two different questions. “Current Inmates” reports who is presently shown at the Walthall County Detention Center. “48 Hour Release” reports recent exits and includes an exact release timestamp when populated. A zero count is only a snapshot. It does not prove no earlier release occurred.

The Sheriff roster choice page shows that split clearly:

The selector is immediate evidence, not a certified archive. Search lag, spelling, a correction, or the rolling cutoff can remove a useful match. Record the booking number and release time before following the court or receiving agency.

Note: The Sheriff publishes no separate 24-hour or 72-hour feed and promises no minute-by-minute refresh rate.

MDOC Walthall Release Search

The Mississippi Department of Corrections separates Inmate Search from Parolees Search. Both accept first name, last name, or MDOC ID. The inmate detail can show current location, location-change date, sentence data, county of conviction, and the exact field “Tentative Release Date.” The parolee side may show MDOC ID, county, supervising officer, Flat Time Date, identifying fields, and a photograph.

The MDOC search interface displays its separate state-custody paths:

No current public MDOC example with a dependable actual-discharge date and explicit fully discharged status was verified. If a tentative date passed or both searches are silent, request the time sheet, movement record, or discharge certificate from MDOC Records.

Walthall Release Status Compared

Each system answers a narrow custody question. Use its exact field and do not collapse every date into “release date.”

A booking date starts the local event. A Walthall release timestamp ends it. An MDOC tentative date estimates a later state event. A Flat Time Date is a sentence or supervision field. Parole eligibility only marks possible Board consideration.

Walthall Release Alerts and Federal Records

Mississippi SAVIN/VINE can report release, transfer, return to custody, escape, and supervision absconding for participating county and MDOC records. Register on the specific person in VINELink, then confirm any alert with the source agency. Coverage and timing can vary. VINE is not a certified release order and does not cover BOP custody.

For federal prison, use the BOP Inmate Locator. It generally includes records from 1982 forward. A past Release Date with no facility, or a location of RELEASED, means BOP custody ended. It does not rule out federal supervision, state custody, or immigration detention. ICE's locator uses an A-number or exact identity data and can include some recent releases, but silence may reflect its time window, exclusions, spelling, or transfer. The Walthall roster does not resolve those federal events.

Mississippi Release Planning for Walthall

MDOC says final state-prison release processing can take 30 to 45 days. A case manager checks travel plans, and a discharge certificate accompanies final processing. If requested, MDOC may purchase bus travel within Mississippi to the destination or nearest city. It does not purchase out-of-state travel under the cited policy.

These facts apply to an MDOC prison release, including a person leaving the Marion/Walthall regional facility under the state system. They are not verified procedures for a short stay at the Walthall County Detention Center. No county release time, exit door, family waiting area, property-return method, weekend rule, or local transportation plan was published. Operational questions should go to the jail.

The MDOC family and friends information explains the state process. The Walthall projected release date calculation must stay separate from the county jail's unverified local practices.

Walthall State Release Reentry Documents

MDOC's pre-release documentation program can help state inmates connect with identification, eligible benefit documents, and other transition resources before leaving prison. That service is part of the MDOC reentry process. It does not automatically extend to a person who spent a short period in the Walthall County jail.

Discharge

The end of the sentence or custody authority documented by the responsible agency.

Parole

Conditional community release approved through the parole process.

Probation

Court-ordered community supervision that may occur without a prison term.

Detainer

A request or authority that can cause a person to be held or transferred for another agency.

IDs After Walthall County Release

Mississippi's Driver Service Bureau permits a duplicate license or ID to be ordered online in some cases. An immediate replacement requires an in-person application and a new photograph. The published duplicate fee is $11. A new Mississippi ID requires the listed identity, Social Security, residence, and name-change documents as applicable. Those rules belong to the state identity-document process, not to the Walthall release card.

If a Walthall release record is wrong, preserve the URL, booking number, and timestamp before asking the originating agency to correct its own record. Then contact VINE, a registry, or another downstream system only when it received the same error. This order gives each record keeper a source correction to evaluate.

Walthall Release Records and Expungement

Mississippi Code Section 99-19-71 governs expungement for eligible misdemeanors and some felony convictions. Eligibility depends on the case. Section 99-19-72 sets a $150 petition filing fee for covered petitions. An order changes legal treatment of the court or criminal record, but it should not be promised to remove every independently kept image or cached copy.

The Mississippi Bar's directory identifies Mississippi Center for Legal Services as serving Walthall County at 1-800-498-1804. That is a route for case-specific help, not a guarantee of eligibility, representation, or deletion. Ask the issuing court and each source office how it implements an order.

Walthall Release Facility History

A dated 2013 report described a $2.7 million replacement for a 1963 jail, planned for up to 70 male minimum-security inmates with video and computer controls. Those figures explain the origin of the present Sheriff complex but are not current capacity claims. The old courthouse jail at 200 Ball Avenue dates to 1916 and 1917 and remains a historic landmark, not the current roster location.

The historic details explain why older references can point toward Ball Avenue. Current Walthall release records come from the Sheriff operation at Magnolia Avenue. Capacity and intercounty arrangements reported in 2013 cannot be treated as current operating facts without new confirmation.

Walthall Release Facility Names

The official Sheriff site uses two labels: Walthall County Detention Center on the roster and Walthall County Jail on its department page. They name one current operation, not separate release feeds. A search under either label should lead back to the same Sheriff booking and release system.

The Marion/Walthall County Correctional Facility in Columbia is different. It is a regional facility in the MDOC state-custody path and sits in Marion County. Its joint name does not turn every Walthall arrest into a state commitment or make the Tylertown release list a record of regional-prison discharge.

Walthall County Release Facilities

Facility identity decides where to verify the event. The Tylertown jail records local bookings and its rolling release cards. The regional Columbia facility houses state inmates under a county agreement and MDOC oversight. A move between them or to another institution is a transfer until the receiving system shows otherwise.

• Walthall County Detention Center: use the Sheriff 48-hour view, then request the local release sheet.
• Marion/Walthall County Correctional Facility: use MDOC inmate and parolee searches, then MDOC Records for discharge proof.

No state prison, federal prison, or dedicated ICE detention facility was verified inside Walthall County. Those systems matter only when another record shows a handoff or commitment.
