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.
Release and transfer alerts: Mississippi takes part in VINE (official source (opens in new tab)). Families can sign up free on VINELink (opens in new tab) for release, transfer and court-date alerts. It's built mainly for crime victims.
OutSooner does not store or list anyone's name, date of birth or ID number. The search runs on the official site.
