Projected vs Actual Release Date
A projection is a sentence calculation or planned event. Actual release is the recorded movement from custody. MODOC’s verified field names are `Sentence-I Minimum Release Date` and `Sentence Maximum Release Date`; neither is a guaranteed gate appointment. A pretrial detainee has no sentence-based date, and bond or a court order can change the path.
Important: Eligibility, a Board hearing, a future date, institutional departure, active supervision, and final discharge are separate events.
How to Find a Warren County Inmate's Projected Release Date
Identify the custodian before searching.
- For a county booking, read the Warren County court sentence and jail-credit entries.
- Ask the jail records unit for its calculated end date and all holds.
- For state prison, use MODOC active search and compare identifiers.
- Use the Sunshine data for exact minimum, maximum, completed, and historical fields.
- Reconcile every charge-level row and concurrent or consecutive indicator.
- Confirm any time-sensitive date with the responsible agency.

Good-Time Credit and How Release Dates Are Computed
Missouri section 558.011 divides eligible terms into prison and conditional-release portions. Terms of nine years or less have a one-third conditional-release portion; terms over nine through fifteen years have three years; terms over fifteen have five years, subject to exclusions. Board action after an institutional-rule violation may extend a conditional-release date.
Section 558.019 contains several minimum-term rules. The dangerous-felony rule generally requires 85 percent, while other listed repeat-commitment provisions use 40, 50, or 80 percent with qualifications. It is false that every Missouri prisoner serves 85 percent. Section 217.703’s monthly earned compliance credit applies to community supervision, not the prison minimum calculation.
Why a Projected Release Date Changes
Several official events can move the practical date.
| Factor | Possible effect |
|---|---|
| Institutional conduct | Board review or conditional-release extension. |
| Programs | Affects Board assessment or planned release. |
| Detainer or hold | Movement to another agency instead of community. |
| Jail credit | Changes time remaining under the judgment. |
| Concurrent/consecutive terms | Changes how multiple sentences combine. |
| Later court or Board action | May change authority or timing. |
Sentinel values in the MODOC file must be decoded: `99999999` means life, `88888888` indeterminate/interstate, and `66666666` field assessment or investigation.
Confirming a Release Date
Use the Warren County VINE Inmate Check for a supplemental MOVANS custody alert. Confirm the alert with the jail or MODOC. For a county sentence, no Warren-specific good-time formula or weekend rule was found. Do not apply state-prison percentages to a local jail booking. Obtain the sentencing order, jail-credit calculation, release record, and hold information.

Warren County Date Calculation Limits
No Warren-specific local good-time formula, weekend-release rule, or published processing schedule was found. That negative finding prevents a state-prison formula from being copied onto a county sentence. It also means the actual jail record and court order carry more weight than a date produced by informal arithmetic. Note: A minimum date is a legal calculation point, not a promised release time.
Read Warren County Sentence Data
The MODOC Sunshine layout is charge-level. It supplies lifelong DOC ID, assigned place, field or institution function, cause number, offense county, sentence county, completed flag, concurrent or consecutive indicator, sentence date, minimum date, maximum date, and probation fields. Warren County appears under code `WARR`. Multiple rows for one person must be read together.
A completed flag applies to that sentence row. An institutional assignment differs from field supervision. A maximum date means sentence expiration, while a minimum date is a calculated minimum for the active sentence. Life, indeterminate or interstate, and field-assessment sentinel values are codes rather than calendar dates. Printing them as ordinary dates would create a false projection.
The active web search accepts first and last names and aliases, but it covers active offenders only. A parolee may appear after leaving prison because supervision continues. A final discharge will not. Use historical data or a request when final completion is the question.
Warren County Parole Timing
Parole eligibility is not release. Missouri Parole Board guidelines do not guarantee a date, and the Board may set timing above or below guideline ranges within law. Institutional conduct, adjustment, completed or needed programs, detainers, and sentence structure inform the decision. The hearing process can result in another hearing in one to five years or a future release date, with decisions taking about eight to twelve weeks.
No public statewide individual hearing calendar or decisions database was found. Offender Search is not a Board archive. A specific schedule or result belongs with Board Operations or the Board’s Sunshine process. Even after a future date is selected, later conduct, program status, detainers, or Board action can alter the path.
Conditional release also keeps the person in MODOC legal custody in the community. Final discharge is a later event. Record each stage separately so a Board eligibility date is not mislabeled as institutional departure or sentence completion.
Warren County Jail Date Requests
For a county sentence, ask for the judgment, jail-credit calculation, actual movement record, release authority, and all holds. A bond notation in the weekly arrest report is only a clue. `Agency Held For` can show why resolution of one charge did not produce community release. A transfer date identifies departure from Warren custody but not freedom from the receiving agency.
Case.net may show dismissal, plea, sentence, concurrent or consecutive terms, probation, warrant, and later termination. The court explains legal authority; the jail confirms movement. No local formula or fixed weekend policy was located, so direct records take priority over arithmetic based on general state prison law.
Warren County Conditional Release Rules
Section 558.011 divides eligible Missouri felony terms into prison and conditional-release portions. Terms of nine years or less have a one-third conditional-release portion. Terms over nine through fifteen years have three years, and terms over fifteen have five years, with the prison portion being the remainder. Statutory exclusions apply. These divisions describe a sentence framework, not a guaranteed date.
The Parole Board may extend conditional release, up to the full sentence, after an institutional-rule violation and hearing. Board guidelines also do not guarantee timing. Conduct, adjustment, programs, detainers, and sentence structure remain relevant. Conditional release places the person in the community while MODOC legal custody continues; final discharge comes later.
Warren County Minimum-Term Limits
Section 558.019 contains several minimum-term rules. A person committed for a statutorily defined dangerous felony generally must serve 85 percent, with the cited age and service exception. Other repeat-commitment and listed-offense provisions use 40, 50, and 80 percent levels with qualifications. Life is treated as 30 years and aggregate terms above 75 as 75 for this calculation.
The minimum is time before eligibility for parole, conditional release, or another early release. It is not the day of departure. Applying 85 percent to every Missouri sentence is wrong. The governing offense, prior commitments, exclusions, credit, concurrent or consecutive terms, and later official action all matter.
Community earned compliance credit is separate. Eligible people on supervision may earn 30 days for a full compliant month, but credit stops during custody, specified violation proceedings, and absconding. It can affect final discharge from supervision, not a county-jail or prison minimum calculation.
Confirm Warren County Release Movement
A detainer can turn planned community release into transfer. A later judgment, amended jail credit, consecutive sentence, institutional violation, or Board action can also change timing. Ask for the updated official computation instead of adjusting an old date by hand.
For final proof, retain the court order, sentence computation, movement record, and receiving-agency confirmation. Name each stage accurately. A projected minimum, parole eligibility, Board date, physical departure, field supervision, and final discharge answer different questions.
Warren County Records to Reconcile
The nightly MODOC file includes DOC ID, name, assigned place, location function, cause number, offense and sentence county, completed flag, concurrent or consecutive indicator, sentence date, minimum and maximum dates, sentence length, and probation fields. Warren’s county code is `WARR`. One person may have several charge-level rows. A completed flag applies to its row, so every relevant sentence must be reconciled before final completion is described.
Assigned place and location function help distinguish an institution from field supervision. That difference matters after prison departure. A field record can support active community supervision, but it is not final discharge. The active offender search includes active probationers and parolees while excluding discharged offenders. Historical data or a request is needed after the state authority ends.
County and state computations should never be blended. A Warren County jail sentence relies on its judgment, credit, holds, and actual jail record. A state prison term relies on MODOC sentence data, the governing statutes, and Board action. A federal sentence belongs to BOP records. Each custodian’s date must be presented with its scope.
When sources conflict, use the newest official record and ask the responsible office to explain the calculation. Record the date of the answer. A stale projected date may predate a detainer, later judgment, conduct decision, amended credit, or sentence change. Note: Only the custodian can confirm the current official computation and actual movement.
The court docket can also preserve the legal steps behind a date: bond action, plea, judgment, sentence, jail credit, warrant, probation, and later termination. Yet court authorization and physical movement are not identical. Compare the judicial record with the Warren County Jail or MODOC movement record. If another agency placed a hold, obtain that agency’s status as well. This layered check prevents a dismissed charge, completed sentence row, or parole eligibility date from being mistaken for unconditional community release. Keep the date and source of every official confirmation.
