Why This Reference Exists
Mississippi law provides access to many nonexempt government records, but a released person may appear in several different systems. The Benton County Sheriff keeps the local custody-exit record. The Mississippi Department of Corrections maintains state offender and sentence records, including a public tentative release field for qualifying records. MDOC Community Corrections and the Mississippi State Parole Board handle different parts of supervision after release. A former federal prisoner belongs in the Bureau of Prisons locator. This site organizes those official paths, explains their limits, and provides focused request steps for Benton County records.

- Individual pages for the Benton County Jail and Ashland Police Department holding route.
- Instructions for county release events, MDOC records, court records, and booking-photo requests.
Limits of This Site
Benton County Released Inmates is privately operated. It is not connected with Benton County Government, any Mississippi sheriff or court, MDOC, the Parole Board, BOP, ICE, or another public agency.
- It cannot release, hold, or transfer a person in custody.
- It cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds for anyone.
- It cannot give legal advice or act for a requester.
- It cannot promise that every address, fee, or telephone number remains current.
Only the government office holding the record can confirm current custody, charges, a release, or a transfer.
Third-Party Search Partners
Some pages contain search tools run by outside providers. Those companies control their own results, data practices, and prices. If a visitor follows a tool to a paid signup, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep the reference pages available without charge, but it does not make the outside tool an official Benton County or Mississippi service.
