FCI Yazoo Medium Release Paths
FCI Yazoo City Medium is one of three current BOP institutions at FCC Yazoo City. A person leaving Medium might transfer to Low, Low II, another BOP prison, or a later federal placement. The person may also reach the end of BOP custody and begin supervised release in the community. A separate authority can assume custody as well.
Those outcomes produce different records. BOP movement data follows a transfer. The Inmate Locator may display a location, a future release date, or a past released result. The federal court judgment states the sentence and any supervised-release term. If a receiving agency is named, its record takes over after the handoff. The shared Yazoo location never turns this into a Sheriff or MDOC release.
Verify FCI Yazoo Medium Release
Use the official locator with a register number when available. BOP also permits searches by DCDC, FBI, or INS number. A name search can be narrowed with age, race, and sex. Compare all visible identifiers before saving the status because names alone do not make a safe match.
- Search the BOP locator with the register number or strongest available federal identifier.
- Confirm the person’s name and descriptive details against the known case.
- Record the exact location, release date, and custody phrase displayed by BOP.
- Decide whether the date is still projected or whether the result expressly says custody ended.
- Open the federal court docket for supervised release, revocation, or another controlling order.
If the result only changes from Medium to another institution, report a transfer. If it says “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody,” report the end of the BOP episode and then check for another authority. Broader system routing appears in the Yazoo County release search.
Note: A projected BOP date may change after sentence recalculation, so it should not be presented as an actual release event.
FCI Yazoo Medium Contacts
Public status comes from the BOP locator. Current institution contact and visiting information belongs on the official Medium page. The sentencing court owns its judgment and supervised-release terms. No direct release-office phone, hours, or verified street address for Medium was included in the research, so those details are left to the official source.

BOP Inmate Locator
Do not send a federal time-computation question to the Sheriff, Yazoo Regional Correctional Facility, or MDOC. Those agencies keep their own custody records. A federal records inquiry must identify the register number, institution, date range, and precise record requested. The federal docket can be found through the court system when the judgment or later supervision order is needed.
FCI Yazoo Medium Release Dates
A future release date is a forecast based on the federal sentence record as BOP then computes it. Research notes that First Step Act recalculations can change dates. Later court orders, credits, or other federal events may also alter what the locator shows. The date is useful for planning a follow-up search, but it is not a gate-out record.
A past result paired with explicit released wording is stronger. Review the official BOP result format before interpreting the field.

The source example shows the value of preserving both the register number and exact BOP phrase. It also supports a narrow claim: BOP custody ended. It does not erase supervised release or prove that no other agency took custody.
| Locator display | Careful interpretation |
|---|---|
| Current institution | Person is located within BOP custody at the listed point |
| Future release date | Projected federal date, subject to change |
| Released or Not in BOP Custody | BOP episode ended on the displayed terms |
| No result | Recheck identity; do not infer release |
FCI Yazoo Medium Context
Current BOP search results list Low, Medium, and Low II at the federal complex. Historical descriptions used a different set of labels, including a USP name. That history can explain why an older judgment, news item, or family record uses a facility term that does not match the current result.
The safest method is to preserve the old label as an alias while routing a current inquiry to the current BOP component. The register number connects the person across institutional name changes and transfers. It also avoids confusion with the sheriff-operated Yazoo regional facility, which belongs to a county and MDOC record split rather than BOP.
Consult the current FCC Yazoo City listing for the complex names.

The complex view shows why a location within FCC Yazoo City must be read at the component level before a release conclusion is made.
FCI Yazoo Medium ICE Handoffs
ICE has no verified detention facility in Yazoo County. Yet an immigration handoff may follow the end of a BOP sentence when an actual record identifies ICE as the receiving authority. Do not infer that outcome from personal traits or from the simple end of a BOP result.
When there is documented ICE involvement, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator using the nine-digit A-number with country of birth, or exact biographical details. ICE notes that current custody and some people released within 60 days may appear. Exclusions, delays, and elapsed time can produce no match.
An ODLS miss does not turn the BOP end date into proof of release to the community. Follow the federal movement destination, relevant immigration case record, or direct ICE channel. The Jackson check-in location in Pearl serves Yazoo County but is an office, not a detention center.
Note: An ICE office serving Yazoo County is not evidence that a former Medium prisoner was detained or transferred there.
After FCI Yazoo Medium Release
Federal supervised release is a term imposed by the sentencing court and served after prison in the community. It differs from parole under Mississippi law. It also differs from full sentence discharge. The judgment states the length and terms, and later docket entries can show modification or revocation.
- BOP release
- The end of the person’s Bureau of Prisons custody episode.
- Supervised release
- A federal court-ordered community term after imprisonment.
- Transfer
- A move to another custodian while confinement continues.
- Revocation
- A court action that can change or end community supervision and return the person to custody.
Pair the locator with the federal docket when the question is whether the person remains under legal control after prison. BOP’s date and the judgment can both be accurate because they answer separate questions. Keep the wording narrow and attach it to the correct agency.
USMS can control an earlier federal custody stage. Federal pretrial prisoners may be held in federal, state, local, or private facilities before acquittal, release, or delivery to BOP after conviction. USMS has no verified public historic release-name archive like the BOP locator. Use the federal order for legal authority and the holding agency or USMS for the actual movement.
A narrow federal request should include the full name, register number, Medium institution name, date range, and exact record sought. Ask for the public movement or release record and any releasable destination. If a source says only that the person left Medium, seek the receiving institution before calling it a release. Component changes within FCC Yazoo City remain federal transfers.
Conflicting dates often refer to distinct events. The judgment date starts the court record. BOP may display a projected date based on its current computation. A transfer has its own movement date, and the actual end of BOP custody can come later. Save each source with its access date and ask the owner of a disputed field to explain its own entry.
A no-match should lead to a better identity check, not a release claim. Try the register number, known aliases, and other federal identifiers. Compare age, race, and sex only as matching aids. When the locator explicitly shows a past release, preserve that wording and date, then consult the docket for any term that follows imprisonment.
Keep the record trail focused. Save the official URL, access date, identifier, exact BOP phrase, and date at issue. If a later entry differs, compare it with the federal order and prior capture. Ask BOP about a BOP field and the court about its docket. This avoids asking one office to change a record it does not own. Keep both the original observation and the agency response. That record trail supports later verification without changing the source language.
