Find Shannon Projected Release Dates

Shannon Projected and Actual Release

A projected date is an estimate, calculation, or tentative Board date tied to a sentence. An actual release is the event recorded when the person leaves that custody system or moves to another one. Those are not interchangeable facts. A state prisoner can have a conditional-release date, a parole-related date, and a maximum sentence date at the same time. A person in Shannon County Jail before trial may have no fixed release date at all. Bond can be posted, denied, or changed; the court can enter a new order; another agency can place a hold; or the case can end in a sentence or dismissal.

Even a sentenced person’s date is not always the day they walk into the community. A MODOC release can begin parole or conditional release. A Shannon County Jail departure can instead be a transfer to MODOC, another county, federal custody, or immigration custody. Ask what event the date describes, which sentence and case it belongs to, and whether another hold exists. The originating agency’s release entry supplies the actual time and destination after the event occurs.

Pretrial status is especially fluid. A docket can show the judge’s authority, bond terms, and later disposition, but it is not the jail’s door-out timestamp. For the full county lookup sequence after a person leaves custody, use the Shannon County released-inmate search.

Find Shannon Projected Release Dates

Start with the system that now holds the person. The MODOC Offender Search covers active state prisoners and people under active parole, conditional release, or probation supervision. It does not provide discharged-offender information. Search by name, complete the verification challenge, and compare the DOC identifier and other available descriptors. Open only a defensible match. Preserve the displayed label and the “data current as of” time, since a generic phrase such as “projected release” can hide a very different Missouri field.

For someone held only by Shannon County Jail, do not apply MODOC prison percentages. Contact Sheriff Steven Hogan’s office with the full name and known booking or case details. Ask whether the person is pretrial or sentenced, whether the jail has a court commitment or release order, what credit is recorded, and whether another hold or transfer affects release. The Shannon County Circuit Clerk can provide the public judgment, sentence, and docket entries that supply the legal basis.

1. Identify whether the person is in Shannon County Jail, MODOC, another state or county facility, federal custody, or community supervision.
2. For an active MODOC case, search the exact name and compare the DOC number before reading any date field.
3. Write down the field label, sentence or case, status, location, and source timestamp without renaming the date.
4. Compare the court judgment, sentence amendments, and jail-credit entries in the correct public case.
5. Ask the jail, institutional caseworker, or Parole Board which authority controls a change or unresolved conflict.

A fully discharged person may be absent from the active public search even when historical sentence and completion data still exist. In that case, the MODOC Sunshine data route and a focused records request are more apt than repeated name searches.

Shannon Conditional Release Calculation

Missouri § 558.011 divides many eligible terms of years into an institutional portion and a conditional-release portion. For eligible felony terms of nine years or less, the conditional-release part is one-third of the term. For a term greater than nine and up to fifteen years, it is three years. For a term greater than fifteen years, it is five years. The prison portion is the rest. These fractions describe a statutory framework, not a universal release-date calculator.

The formula excludes categories covered by the statute, including dangerous felonies and the specified fourth or later remand situation. The Parole Board may extend an otherwise applicable conditional-release date, up to the full sentence, after the required process for qualifying institutional rule violations. Consecutive or concurrent terms, corrected jail credit, amended judgments, sentence aggregation, and other legal limits can also change the result. Near the conditional date, the statute permits a limited working-day hold while the Board makes the described decision.

“Good time” is often used too broadly. Missouri § 217.703 addresses earned compliance credits for an eligible person already under probation, parole, or conditional-release supervision. A full compliant month may reduce the community-supervision term, while specified custody, violation, suspension, revocation, and absconder periods do not accrue credit. Those credits do not move the date someone leaves Shannon County Jail or a MODOC prison.

Note: Missouri earned compliance credits can shorten eligible community supervision, but they are not prison credits and do not set a jail release date.

Shannon 85-Percent Release Rule

The claim that every Missouri prisoner serves 85 percent is wrong. Under § 558.019, the 85-percent minimum applies to a person convicted of a statutorily defined dangerous felony and committed to MODOC, subject to the statute’s age-related alternative. “Dangerous felony” is a defined legal category in § 556.061. It should not be expanded to every felony, every offense described in casual speech as violent, or every sentenced person from Shannon County.

The current statute also sets minimum prison terms for certain covered non-dangerous offenses based on prior MODOC commitments. The research identifies 40 percent after one previous commitment, 50 percent after two, and 80 percent after three or more, with detailed statutory coverage and alternatives. These are minimum terms before eligibility for parole, conditional release, or another early release route. Eligibility permits a process to begin. It does not command the Board or department to release the person on that day.

The only sound way to use a percentage is to confirm that the statute applies to the exact conviction and sentence. Check the judgment, the defined offense category, prior commitment history where relevant, jail credit, and any later amendment. Then compare the official MODOC date label. A county jail sentence does not become a state-prison calculation merely because both are Missouri custody.

Shannon Release-Date Change Factors

A change is not automatically an error. The first task is to identify which date moved. A corrected conditional-release date can have one cause, while a later presumptive parole date can have another. Ask which sentence and case the date belongs to and which office supplied the update. Then compare the current MODOC timestamp with the court docket and historical data.

A detainer is a request or legal notice that another authority may take custody. Thus, departure from a Shannon County facility may be a transfer rather than freedom from all custody. A parole decision can also set a future date subject to conduct, programming, and an acceptable plan. Until the actual event is recorded, the projected date remains informational.

Shannon Release Date Labels Differ

Missouri exposes three date ideas that should remain separate. The MODOC Sunshine dictionary identifies Sentence-I Minimum Release Date, field $PC, which the department glossary defines as the conditional-release date. A Presumptive Parole Release Date is a tentative Board date. It remains dependent on suitable conduct, required programs, and an acceptable release plan. Sentence Maximum Release Date, field $PD, is the maximum or expiration date in the data, with special values used for certain life, indeterminate, interstate, assessment, or investigation situations. A parole eligibility or hearing date is a fourth concept. It opens a process and does not promise release. The person ordinarily receives case-specific hearing notice, and the Board may set a presumptive date, set a later hearing, or set the conditional or maximum date under its published rules. The state does not provide a public named-person decisions database, so a missing public decision should not be filled with an inference.

The MODOC Sunshine data page documents the historical dataset and its date fields.

The image shows the official historical-data route used when the active-only public name search no longer returns a fully discharged person. This distinction is crucial in Shannon County because the MODOC public search covers active offenders and expressly excludes discharged offenders. The nightly Sunshine data covers people who have been or are currently under supervision and supplies completion and minimum or maximum date fields. Historical data can document a past sentence path, but it still does not turn a calculated date into proof of the actual door-out time.

Note: Preserve the official field name and source timestamp whenever a Missouri date is quoted, since each label answers a different question.

Confirm Shannon County Release Dates

For an unresolved MODOC date, compare the active record, the correct court judgment, and the Sunshine field dictionary. Contact the institutional caseworker or the Missouri Parole Board when the public material does not explain the change. MODOC Constituent Services can route questions at 573-751-2389, while the Board and Division number is 573-751-8488. A focused inquiry names the exact field, sentence, case, and source timestamp rather than asking only for “the release date.”

For Shannon County Jail, call the Sheriff and ask whether the person is still held, whether a court release order has been received, and whether another agency has a hold. Then request the completed release or transfer date, time, authority, and destination after the event. The Circuit Clerk can confirm the public judgment and docket, but the jail records the physical release or transfer. If a person moved into MODOC custody, the county departure is not the end of confinement.

Missouri replaced VINELink app and telephone alerts with MOVANS in May 2026. The current portal provides SMS and email notices from participating sources, yet the state warns that an offline jail data provider can cause no result. Notification is useful for a pending event, not certified proof. The VINELink Inmate Search explains the current MOVANS registration and confirmation process.

Once the event occurs, record the source, event wording, date, time, destination, and any ongoing supervision status. A Board date, a court order, a MOVANS notice, and a Sheriff release entry may describe connected but different stages. Keeping those stages separate prevents the most common date error.
