Pike County Community Work Center Releases

Pike CWC Release Destinations

Pike County Community Work Center is a state correctional placement. It is not an annex of the Pike County Detention Center. A person who leaves the CWC may return to the community on parole or earned release supervision, reach the end of a sentence, or move to another MDOC location. Those events are not interchangeable. Parole is conditional early release approved by the Mississippi State Parole Board. Earned Release Supervision, often shortened to ERS, is a community placement in which the person remains under MDOC jurisdiction and keeps offender status until the sentence expires.

A transfer ends the stay at Pike CWC but does not end state custody. Read the destination and the new MDOC location before describing the change as a community release. A discharge certificate is stronger proof that the state sentence ended. When the result indicates parole or ERS, the next confirmation point is MDOC Community Corrections. The Pike County released inmate search and records overview explains how the county, state, and court records fit together when more than one custody layer appears.

Check Pike CWC Release Status

The official MDOC Inmate Search is the correct public starting point. It accepts a first name, last name, or MDOC identification number. A matching detail can show the MDOC number, birth date, entry date, current location and unit, location-change date, sentences, offenses, county of conviction, photograph, and a field labeled Tentative Release Date. The state page is a locator and planning source. It does not promise that every discharged person remains searchable, and the tentative date is not an actual release certificate.

Use a short, identity-first search process:

1. Search the full name, then repeat with the MDOC number if it is known.
2. Open the matching record and compare the birth date, county of conviction, and other identity fields.
3. Read the Location and Unit fields before relying on any date.
4. Save the exact status, location-change date, tentative date, and date checked.
5. Ask MDOC for a releasable discharge record when the public result does not settle the outcome.

A missing result proves only that the person is not displayed in that search. It does not prove discharge. Likewise, an ERS location can describe a person living in the community while still under MDOC control. MDOC says parole and ERS dates are not guaranteed, and its Records Division reviews ERS eligibility. An actual discharge record, verified supervision placement, or state response is more reliable than an inference drawn from a changed screen.

Pike CWC Release Records

When the public search is not enough, request the state record that answers the exact question. Identify the person by full name and MDOC number when possible. Ask for the releasable discharge certificate, actual release or discharge date, release type, last institutional location, and current supervision status. A request may also seek a releasable time computation or time sheet. Keep the request narrow. Medical files and other protected material are separate and are not needed to confirm whether a custody or sentence event ended.

The record types answer different points:

Mississippi Code sections 25-61-5 and 25-61-7 govern requests for nonexempt public records and allowable actual costs. A public body may redact exempt content, but it must produce segregable nonexempt material and cite a specific exemption in a written denial. Ask for electronic delivery and a cost estimate. No fixed MDOC copy fee should be assumed without a current agency schedule.

Pike CWC Records Contact

Direct facility questions to the official MDOC listing for Pike County Community Work Center. Staff can route a call, but public disclosure may be limited. An exact release record may still require MDOC Records or Community Corrections rather than the local facility line. Call before a visit because the published facility entry does not state public records hours or a walk-in release-record procedure.

When a person has entered community supervision, the Pike Probation & Parole Office is the local status channel. Its published address is 245 East Bay Street, Magnolia, MS 39652, and its phone is (601) 783-6891. Third parties should expect limits on case details. A public locator result may be confirmed, while protected supervision information may not be released.

Note: State correctional records belong with MDOC, even though the CWC stands in Pike County and shares local geography with county offices.

Pike CWC State Placement

MDOC classifies this location as a Community Work Center. That designation matters because the people placed there are in the state correctional system, not in the local pretrial jail population. County booking records will not supply the durable status of a state placement. The sentencing judgment, MDOC detail, and state discharge or supervision files carry that role. A county docket may still explain the sentence that led to MDOC, but the state record tracks later movement.

MDOC's July 2026 Pike CWC graduation publication confirms active programming at the facility. The publication supports the facility's current role, but a program event is not a release list and cannot establish an individual's discharge. It should be read as context for the placement, not as person-level status evidence.

That distinction prevents a common error. A person may leave county jail information, enter a local MDOC placement, and remain confined within Pike County. The short distance between facilities does not collapse their legal roles. The Pike County sheriff controls the local jail record. MDOC controls the CWC record. The proper inquiry follows the agency that held the person at the time of the event.

Which Pike Facility Released Them?

Pike County CWC and Pike County Technical Violation Center are separate MDOC facilities at the same street address and phone number. A request that says only “Pike facility” is ambiguous. Name Pike County Community Work Center in the subject line, include the MDOC number, and state the approximate dates of placement. That precision helps MDOC distinguish a community work center record from a technical violation sanction.

The Pike County Technical Violation Center release page addresses the other state facility and the return-to-supervision path. The distinction is substantive. A technical violation center serves alleged or established breaches of parole, probation, or post-release-supervision conditions. The CWC has a different MDOC classification. Shared contact details do not mean the facilities hold the same population or create the same placement record.

Use the precise name at every step. If an online detail lists a unit or location that conflicts with what a caller was told, record both sources and the date of each. Ask MDOC to explain whether the entry reflects a transfer, a delayed update, or a different part of the co-located operation. Do not pick one result without reconciling the mismatch.

Pike CWC Release Evidence

The official MDOC Pike CWC profile shows how the state identifies this Community Work Center and its contact details.

The image helps confirm that the subject is the state CWC, not the county detention center or the co-located Technical Violation Center. It does not show a person's release. Pair the facility identification with a matched MDOC detail, an agency response, and supervision confirmation when the person remains under community control.

A complete event line may read: MDOC placement at Pike CWC, location change, community supervision entry, then final discharge. Some cases omit one or more stages. Preserve exact labels rather than translating every move into “released.” If the last event is a transfer, follow the receiving unit. If it is parole or ERS, confirm through Community Corrections. If it is discharge, seek the certificate or releasable discharge record that documents the end of the state process.
