Use these routes according to the question:

  • For a county release record, follow the full search and sheriff request path on the home page.
  • For active post-release supervision, use the parole and probation contacts.
  • For a recent local departure, use the verification method on the 24-hour release list page because no official name feed was found.
  • For timing or notifications, compare the projected release date with a VINELink check through Missouri MOVANS.
  • For one custody site, open the Buchanan County Jail, WRDCC, or St. Joseph Community Supervision Center page listed below.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the MODOC Offender Search or call MODOC.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP locator or ICE locator.
