Grenada County VINELink Coverage
Mississippi Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification, known as Mississippi SAVIN, uses VINE for custody events from participating county jails and MDOC. Anyone may register anonymously. Registration is not limited to a named victim. The service can help follow a person associated with the Grenada County Adult Detention Center or an MDOC record when the responsible agency participates and sends the event.
Coverage is system-specific. Sheriff Garrett Hartley and the Grenada County Sheriff's Office remain the source for the county jail's underlying booking and release entry. MDOC controls state-prison and state-supervision records. VINELink does not replace either custodian. It also does not search the Federal Bureau of Prisons, ICE, or the U.S. Marshals Service.
| Custody source | VINELink role | Durable confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Participating Grenada County jail event | Status or event alert supplied by the jail | Sheriff's booking/release entry |
| MDOC state custody | Custody change, transfer, or release notification | MDOC placement or release/discharge record |
| Federal prison | Not covered | BOP locator and federal record |
| ICE custody | Not a VINELink historical release route | ICE Online Detainee Locator or agency contact |
Note: Grenada County has no verified official online recent-release feed, so a specific-person alert can fill a timing gap but not create a county list.
Search a Grenada County Inmate
Open VINELink and choose Mississippi or the current location shown by the interface. Search by full name or the offender or booking identifier offered on the live screen. Exact labels can change, so follow the current controls. Multiple people may share a name. Compare the reporting agency, identifier, and another reliable detail before opening or relying on a record.
- Select Mississippi and start a person search.
- Enter the full name. Use the offender or booking ID when it is known and offered.
- Review possible matches. Confirm the agency and at least one additional identifier.
- Open the correct record and read the custody status, reporting location, and latest event exactly as written.
- If the event says release, inspect the record for transfer language and check the possible receiving system.
- Call the reporting agency and request its release or transfer entry for lasting confirmation.
The successful manifest capture below comes from the official VINELink public interface.
A no-result screen is weak evidence. The agency may not participate, the name may differ, the entry may lag, or a past record may no longer be visible. Use the Grenada County released-inmate search path to combine the jail record, court disposition, MDOC source, or federal source as the facts require.
Read Grenada VINELink Release Fields
VINELink is notification infrastructure. Its fields describe the information sent by a participating agency, not an independent court finding. Read each label in context. “Released from custody” means the named reporting agency ended its custody. It does not by itself say the person entered the community, completed every sentence, or cleared another hold.
| Field or event | What it supports | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Name and identifier | Matching the agency record to a person | Name alone is not enough |
| Reporting agency or location | Which custody system supplied the status | It may not show a receiving system yet |
| Custody status | The agency's latest submitted status | Agency entry can lag |
| Release event | That reporting custody ended | Could still involve another hold or custody |
| Transfer event | Movement from one covered authority to another | Not community freedom |
| Return, escape, or abscond event | A reported later custody or supervision change | Not proof of a new conviction |
What if the event time differs from a court order? A court order has a filed time, the jail has a physical-departure time, and VINE has an alert time after agency entry. Preserve each timestamp and ask the custodian what it represents. Do not average them or assume the last web update is the event itself.
Set Grenada County Release Alerts
Registration works best while custody is confirmed. Open the correct person's record and choose the current notification or registration control. Select the event types that matter, including release and transfer. A transfer alert is valuable because it warns that one facility's custody ended without suggesting that all custody ended.
- Open the matched person record and select the live registration control.
- Choose release and other useful custody events, such as transfer or return.
- Select an offered phone, text, or email delivery channel and enter current contact information.
- Complete the confirmation flow. Telephone registration uses a PIN to acknowledge automated calls, but no verified source states a fixed PIN length.
- Save the confirmation details and update contact information when it changes.
- When an alert arrives, record its exact event, time, agency, and identifier, then confirm it with that agency.
The official Mississippi SAVIN notifications page explains the state layer, and the successful project capture shows that source.
The state source supports alert registration and transfer continuity, while the reporting agency still supplies the release record.
Grenada Transfer Registration Link
Mississippi SAVIN's Registration Link can carry a person's notification registration forward when custody moves from a county jail to MDOC or another participating agency. This is the distinctive local and state safeguard. Without it, a Grenada County jail departure may look like final release even though the person entered state custody.
Read the first alert by event type. If it identifies a transfer, follow the prompted registration route and search MDOC after the receiving system posts the person. The county release entry should identify the destination agency. MDOC's inmate tool can then show current location and the prospective field labeled “Tentative Release.” That state field is not the actual county departure and is not a final release date.
The Registration Link is a continuity tool, not proof that every agency transition will be instant. Keep the county booking number and MDOC ID separate. Those identifiers belong to different systems.

Official SAVIN office
For a Grenada County jail event, call the Sheriff's Office at 662-227-2877 and ask whether the person physically left the facility, whether the event was a community release or transfer, the actual time, and the receiving authority. Then request the written booking/release entry. For a state event, MDOC Records handles time, jail credit, eligibility, and actual release or discharge questions.
Confirm Grenada VINELink Results
VINELink can lag, produce more than one alert, or stop displaying an old entry. “Not found” does not mean released. The event is only as current and precise as the data entered by the reporting agency. Save the alert, then obtain the agency record behind it.
A county release belongs first to the Grenada County Sheriff's Office. State placement and “Tentative Release” belong to MDOC Inmate Search. Actual MDOC discharge belongs to MDOC Records. BOP has its own locator for federal prisoners, while ICE uses its current detainee locator. No federal or ICE detention facility was verified in Grenada County, so those paths apply only when a record shows a federal or immigration handoff.
Conclusions should stay narrow: “released from Grenada County jail,” “transferred from the jail to MDOC,” or “released from MDOC to parole supervision.” Clear system names prevent the most common release error.
Grenada VINELink Result Playbooks
A recent Grenada County alert should be reconciled by its fact pattern. If VINE reports release from the county jail, save the event text, alert time, agency, and identifier. Call the Sheriff's Office and ask whether physical departure occurred, what the actual release time was, which authority ordered it, and whether another hold applied. A narrow written request for the jail's release entry then preserves the disposition.
If the alert says transfer to MDOC, search the MDOC inmate system by name and MDOC ID when available. A state location and “Tentative Release” describe the next custody stage. They do not show community freedom. Carry the SAVIN registration forward when prompted, and later distinguish release to parole from full MDOC discharge.
A court order adds legal context but does not replace facility confirmation. Grenada Circuit Court's electronic access began November 23, 2020, and city or lower-level matters may instead belong in Municipal or Justice Court. A bond or time-served order can exist before jail processing finishes. Another case can also supply a hold. Match the filed court event to the jail's actual departure entry.
Federal events require separate tools. The BOP locator can report a past Release Date and no location, meaning the person is no longer in BOP custody. ICE's public tool is current-custody focused. Neither is part of VINELink. If a Grenada jail record names USMS, BOP, or ICE as the receiving authority, follow that agency and describe the county event as a transfer until community departure is independently established.
Identity matching stays essential across every playbook. Use an agency number plus a second fact such as date of birth, case number, conviction county, or reporting facility. Keep a county booking number distinct from an MDOC ID. Personal identifiers should support matching and agency requests, not be copied into public notes or shared more widely than needed.
