Carroll County Regional Release Routes
Carroll County Regional Correctional Facility is a regional correctional facility listed by the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Regional custody can include people with different legal custodians and sentence stages. A Montgomery County local detainee may leave the facility for the community after bond, time served, dismissal, sentence completion, or another court order. The person might instead move to another county, MDOC reception, federal custody, or immigration custody. Only the release disposition shows which event occurred.
A sentenced MDOC prisoner housed at Carroll County Regional follows the state corrections path. Release to parole or Earned Release Supervision should be verified with MDOC's actual-release record and, when applicable, a matched parole record. A local exit is confirmed through the facility and Montgomery County sheriff records. A person can leave the building in both situations, but the legal record, destination, and agency authority are not the same.
| Person's status | Possible route | Confirm with |
|---|---|---|
| Local detainee | Community release or local transfer | Facility and sheriff release record |
| Sentenced MDOC inmate | State transfer, parole, ERS, or discharge | MDOC Records and parolee search |
| Person under another hold | Another county, USMS, or ICE custody | Release destination and receiving agency |
Confirm Carroll County Regional Releases
No current official release feed was found for Carroll County Regional Correctional Facility. Old public-record snapshots cannot answer a present status question. A direct, custody-specific check is necessary.
- Collect the full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest or booking range, case number, booking number, and MDOC ID if one exists.
- Call the facility at 662-464-5440. Ask whether the person was a local detainee or MDOC inmate and which agency was the legal custodian.
- Ask for the exact status, actual release date and time, disposition, and destination or receiving agency when that information is recorded and public.
- For a Montgomery County detainee, contact the sheriff at 662-283-3343 and request the linked booking and release record.
- For an MDOC prisoner, search by name or MDOC ID and ask MDOC Records for the actual release or discharge, time sheet, and supervision status.
- Match the agency answer to the court order. A signed order supplies legal authority, while the facility record supplies the physical exit.
A transfer is not a community release, even when a local roster or dated snapshot no longer shows the person at the facility.

Note: Ask the first office to identify the legal custodian before sending the same broad request to several agencies.
Request Carroll County Regional Records
A narrow request reduces identity errors and keeps the requested record tied to one custody episode. State that the person may have been held for Montgomery County at Carroll County Regional. Include a booking number, date range, arresting agency, case number, or MDOC ID whenever known.
Ask for the booking and release or discharge record, including the booking date, actual release date and time, disposition, destination or receiving agency if recorded and public, charges, case numbers, bond information, and booking photograph. If part of the record is exempt, ask for the reasonably segregable remainder and the legal basis for withholding. Mississippi law permits reasonable actual-cost fees, so ask for an estimate and set a cost cap rather than assuming a published flat fee.
MDOC requests should use state terminology. Ask for the actual release or discharge date and type, sentence computation or time sheet, county-jail credit, tentative and maximum dates, and supervision status. A public Tentative Release Date is a forecast. It does not establish that a past release happened on that date.
Carroll County Regional Release Fields
A historical Carroll–Montgomery public-record response from November 17, 2021, shows why fields must be read together. It includes Status, Sent Status, block, cell, bed, booking and inmate numbers, Date Booked, Scheduled Release, Court, and Billed To. Those are field examples from a dated snapshot, not a live roster and not a current release list.
| Historical field | Correct reading |
|---|---|
| Status | Describes the row's status at the snapshot date. |
| Scheduled Release | A forecast, not proof of an actual exit. |
| Billed To | Connects the custody cost to an agency but does not prove legal custody or destination. |
| Court | Points toward the case file that may explain the legal outcome. |
| Booking or inmate number | Provides a precise identifier for a later record request. |
| Block, cell, and bed | Historical placement details, not release evidence. |
A later historical snapshot also exists, but neither response creates an archive policy or rolling feed. Preserve each document's date. Never use a prior RELEASED row to claim where the person is today.
Carroll-Montgomery Release Name Change
The facility story crosses a county line and a naming change. MDOC's current page uses Carroll County Regional Correctional Facility. Older sources used Carroll–Montgomery County Regional Correctional Facility. Historical rows billed to “MONTGOMERY CO SHERIFF OFF” are the key official-record link showing that the Vaiden facility has served Montgomery County.
The current facility source displays the name a caller should use now.
Older and current names may both appear in a search. Use the person's booking identifier and the Montgomery billing or holding agency to bridge them. Do not rename the facility “Montgomery County Jail,” and do not imply that Vaiden is in Montgomery County.
MDOC Carroll County Regional Releases
The MDOC Inmate Search accepts first name, last name, or MDOC ID. A matching detail may show identity data, location, entry and location-change dates, sentence rows, conviction county, and Tentative Release Date. These fields can help determine whether a person moved from local custody into state custody. They do not, on their own, certify an actual past discharge.
If the public detail is missing or unclear, ask MDOC Records for the actual release or discharge and sentence computation. A match in the MDOC Parolee Search can corroborate that a person left confinement to parole. It will not cover every bond release, probation outcome, ended supervision, or full discharge. A county detainee who never entered MDOC may have no state inmate record at all.
- Tentative release
- MDOC's forecast based on the current sentence computation.
- Parole
- Conditional release from confinement granted by the State Parole Board.
- Earned Release Supervision
- Community placement that remains under MDOC jurisdiction through sentence expiration.
- Transfer
- A move between custodians without release to the community.
Montgomery Release Court Verification
Montgomery County Justice Court handles misdemeanors and preliminary felony matters. Circuit Court holds felony indictments, judgments, and sentences. Ask the appropriate clerk for the bond or release order, final disposition, judgment, jail-credit findings, and any later modification or revocation. A time-served judgment may strongly support a release path, while a dismissal in one case does not eliminate another hold.
The court file explains the legal reason custody should change. It may not show the minute when Carroll County Regional finished processing or whether another agency took custody. Compare the signed order with the regional release record. If the answer names MDOC, USMS, ICE, or another county, follow that receiving system rather than calling the event a community release.
One person's move can create a court event, facility exit, and receiving-agency entry with different times and labels.
About Carroll County Regional Custody
The official research supports the facility's type, current contact, cross-county service link, and different release routes. It does not support a public capacity figure, current population number, release door, release hours, family waiting area, weekend procedure, property-pickup rule, local bond schedule, facility release fee, or record-retention period. Those facts should be confirmed directly rather than inferred from a directory.
No separately verified state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center was found inside Montgomery County. The Carroll/Montgomery Probation & Parole Office is a community-supervision office in Winona, not a jail. A federal or immigration defendant may still pass through contracted custody, but that person-specific arrangement does not turn the regional facility into a federal or ICE institution.
For any present status claim, record the source and the time checked. Current official agency information outranks a historical snapshot. If sources disagree, keep their labels intact and ask whether each date represents eligibility, scheduled release, transfer, discharge, or the physical gate exit.
