How to search: enter the person's legal last and first name, or their MDOC (Mississippi) ID number if you have it. Nicknames and misspellings usually return nothing; try fewer letters or a different spelling of the name. Mail must include the person's MDOC number and current housing unit.
What the dates mean: any dates shown, such as admission, sentence or projected release dates, come from MDOC (Mississippi)'s own records. Projected dates can change (for example with earned credits, discipline or parole decisions) and are not a guarantee. Ask MDOC (Mississippi) or the facility before making plans around a date.
OutSooner does not store or list anyone's name, date of birth or ID number. The search runs on the official site.
Sentence credits
Credit rules come from Mississippi law and are the same at every MDOC (Mississippi) prison. Read Mississippi's good-time and earned-time rules.
