When will my loved one get out?
Short answer: only the Department of Corrections calculates official release dates. Find the official record first, learn which kind of date it is, then check whether a new credit law could change it.
3 steps
- Get the official date. Search official DOC data (Oklahoma, Nevada) or call the facility records office.
- Know the date type. Court sentence date, projected eligibility date, or official DOC date. See the time sheet decoder.
- Check for new laws. Oklahoma SB 1213 · Nevada SB 413 · all states.
Questions families ask
When will my loved one get out of prison?
Only the state Department of Corrections (and, for parole, the parole board) sets release dates. Start with the official DOC record: it lists parole eligibility and projected release or expiration dates, which move as credits are earned or lost.
How do I find an inmate's release date in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma's public data file has sentences but not projected release dates. Ask the facility records office or case manager, or call ODOC. Our lookup shows what the public file contains and when it was updated.
How do I find an inmate's release date in Nevada?
NDOC publishes parole eligibility and projected expiration dates in its daily public data. Our lookup shows those official dates with their date type and the update date.
Will a new law change the release date?
Possibly, once the DOC applies it. Oklahoma SB 1213 starts November 1, 2026, and Nevada SB 413 is scheduled for July 1, 2027. Until the DOC applies a law, any computed date is a guess.
What is the difference between parole eligibility and release?
Parole eligibility is the earliest date someone can be considered for parole; it is not a release date. Expiration (or discharge) is when the sentence ends.
