Yazoo County Parole and Probation
Parole is conditional release from an MDOC sentence after a decision by the Mississippi State Parole Board. MDOC Community Corrections then supervises the parolee. Probation is imposed by a court and may begin without a state-prison term. A person can also enter earned-release supervision, or ERS, while retaining inmate status and MDOC jurisdiction until sentence expiration. None of these terms means unconditional discharge.
| Status | Who creates it | Primary proof |
|---|---|---|
| Parole | Mississippi State Parole Board | Board decision, MDOC release record, parolee search |
| Probation | Sentencing court | Judgment and court docket |
| ERS | MDOC statutory placement | MDOC time sheet and location/status record |
| Discharge | Agency or court with authority | Written discharge or satisfaction record |
- Parole
- Conditional community supervision after state confinement.
- Probation
- Court-ordered supervision under a criminal judgment.
- Absconder
- A person alleged to have stopped complying or reporting. It is not a new release.
- Revocation
- A formal action that may end community placement and return the person to custody.
Verify Yazoo County Post-Release Supervision
Begin with a reliable identifier. The MDOC parolee search accepts a first and last name, MDOC number, city, and county. An MDOC number is the strongest public search key. City and county should narrow a search, not define where the conviction occurred or where supervision must remain.
- Search by MDOC number or exact name and compare available identity details.
- Read city and county as current supervision or location filters, not automatic conviction facts.
- Obtain the dated Parole Board decision when parole is claimed.
- Confirm the effective release through MDOC Records, SAVIN, and the parolee result.
- For probation, obtain the sentencing judgment and later violation or discharge entries from the correct Yazoo court.
- Contact the field office only after the record points to that supervision route.
A search miss does not settle ordinary county probation or supervision assigned elsewhere. Likewise, a parolee hit does not show that every detainer ended or that the underlying sentence is discharged. Compare the public result with the source order and effective release record.
Yazoo County Post-Release Field Office
MDOC lists a named local office for Yazoo supervision. It is an administrative field office, not a jail. It can be the correct route when an official record shows that the person reports in Yazoo, but it cannot confirm a routine bond release from Sheriff or municipal custody. No office hours were published in the research, so call before visiting.
Yazoo Probation and Parole OfficeP.O. Box 1935
110 North Jerry Clower Boulevard, Suite W
Yazoo City, MS 39194
662-746-4715
Fax: 662-746-3759
The official MDOC office page identifies the contact. A Yazoo conviction may be supervised in another county, while a person convicted elsewhere may report here. Confirm assignment before treating the local address as part of the individual record.
Bring the MDOC number and use the exact supervision type shown in the source record when asking for routing help. The field office administers assigned community supervision; the Mississippi State Parole Board makes parole decisions, and the sentencing court controls probation orders. Keeping those roles separate prevents a local office contact from being mistaken for proof of a Board grant, a court discharge, or the date a person actually left custody.
Yazoo County Supervision Violation Records
Conditions vary by judgment, Board action, and supervision type. Common records may address reporting, residence, travel, treatment, payments, or conduct, but only the person’s order and official file control. A warrant or absconder label means an alleged breach or failure to report. It does not describe a new release and does not by itself prove that a court or Board revoked supervision.
No official Yazoo county-specific public absconder list was found. Use the parolee result, court docket, MDOC Records, and assigned office. Mississippi SAVIN can report a return to custody from abscond supervision or an escape or abscond event when the reporting system participates. Automated wording should be confirmed with the agency that entered it.
A later warrant can coexist with a valid earlier release. Keep the event sequence intact: effective release, supervision start, alleged violation, warrant, hearing, decision, and any return to custody. Combining them into one label can hide what actually occurred.
How Yazoo County Supervision Ends
Physical release, release to supervision, sentence expiration, and final discharge are separate milestones. A parole or ERS placement may allow life outside a prison while MDOC authority continues. Probation ends according to the judgment, later orders, and lawful completion or discharge. Ask for the document that names the actual endpoint.
For an MDOC release, Mississippi Code section 47-5-157 requires a signed and sealed written discharge or release. It identifies the offender, offenses, term, sentence date, sentencing county, and other statutory facts. That certificate is stronger proof of the state action than a tentative date or an undated search screenshot.
For court probation, request the original judgment plus any amended order, revocation, satisfaction, or discharge from the clerk. The full Yazoo custody and release-record sequence is covered on the Yazoo County released inmates search.
Yazoo County Parole Decision Records
The Mississippi State Parole Board decides whether eligible state offenders receive parole. MDOC sends the Board a monthly list of parole-eligible offenders, but that internal cadence is not a public name calendar. No official searchable hearing schedule or name-based decisions database was found.
Eligibility is permission for consideration, not a promise of a hearing, grant, release plan, or gate-out date. A Board grant may be followed by residence planning, a detainer, another sentence, or another condition. Ask MDOC Records for the official eligibility date. Then contact the Board for the dated disposition and independently verify the effective release.

Yazoo County MDOC Release Documents
Section 47-5-157 also describes practical steps when MDOC releases a person. The law addresses suitable clothing, money held for the person, identification where needed, limited release funds based on time served, and transportation. These provisions apply to an MDOC departure, not an ordinary Yazoo County bond release.
Preserve the signed release or discharge certificate. It can resolve confusion when a tentative date changes, an online record remains visible, or ERS leaves a person outside a prison while still under MDOC jurisdiction. Ask MDOC Records for the certificate and public time sheet rather than demanding a protected field-supervision file.
MDOC Records lists P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, telephone 601-933-2889, and MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us. Use the MDOC number, full name, birth date, conviction county, and approximate event date to keep the request tied to one person.
The release certificate should be read beside the time sheet and supervision result. The certificate documents the authorized MDOC departure, while the time sheet explains the sentence computation and the parolee search can show the later supervision route. Clothing, returned funds, identification, limited release funds, and transportation under the statute are MDOC release steps. The research found no comparable published Yazoo County jail policy for property pickup, a public exit, family waiting, or transportation, so those state provisions must not be presented as local jail promises.
Yazoo County Probation Court Records
Probation verification begins with the court that entered the judgment. Yazoo Municipal Court handles city traffic and misdemeanor matters. Justice Court handles county matters and felony first appearances. County Court may address bond and applicable criminal proceedings, while Circuit Court keeps felony judgments and sentences. The supervision record must be matched to that case rather than inferred from a parole search miss.
Request the docket sheet, final judgment, length and type of probation or post-release supervision, amended orders, payment or program terms that are public, any violation petition, warrant, revocation result, and final satisfaction or discharge. A “closed” docket flag does not by itself prove supervision ended. A probation-violation or MDOC-warrant flag likewise needs the filed event behind it.
Yazoo Circuit and County Courts use the official Twenty-Second Circuit MEC instance for covered records from February 25, 2019. Justice and Municipal matters may require direct clerk contact. Compare the order with the person’s identity and cause number before treating it as proof of current status.
Yazoo County Supervision Status Alerts
Mississippi calls its notification service MS SAVIN. Participating county and state systems can send events for release, transfer, return to custody from abscond supervision, and escape or abscond supervision. Those alerts describe data supplied by a reporting agency. They do not replace the Parole Board decision, court order, or MDOC effective record.
Search one person through VINELink and compare the agency and identifiers. Read the exact event and update time. A release from one reporting custody could be parole, ERS, community release, or a handoff. The Mississippi Registration Link can carry a county registration into MDOC or other custody, which is useful when a Yazoo regional-facility movement crosses record systems.
If an alert conflicts with the parolee search or court file, ask the owner of the disputed field for its history and correction process. Preserve the event time separately from the data-entry time. One may reflect the actual supervision change while the other only shows when a database caught up.
