Find Perry County Release Dates

Perry County Release Date Types

A projected date is an administrative forecast based on the sentence and information then available. An actual release date records a completed departure from a custodian. Between those points, credit, a court ruling, a hold, a parole decision, or an agency review can change the outcome. A forecast may still pass while the status remains Incarcerated. In that situation, the status wins until ODRC or the jail confirms a different event.

Pretrial detention works differently. A person held at Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail while a Perry case is pending does not have a sentence-based release date. Bond, recognizance, dismissal, or another court order can authorize release, but jail processing and other holds determine when physical custody ends. A docket entry and the jail event must be read as two linked records.

Projected release date

A date calculated from the sentence and current credit or release rules.

Parole eligibility

The point when a person may be considered for discretionary release, not a release guarantee.

Jail-time credit

Qualifying confinement time credited against a sentence.

Detainer

A request or hold from another authority that may prevent community release.

Find a Perry County Release Date

Choose the route by custodian. SEORJ handles regional-jail custody. Perry Municipal Court covers misdemeanor and traffic cases, while Common Pleas handles felonies. ODRC covers Ohio prison and Adult Parole Authority records. A county-only bond release may never appear in ODRC, and a state-prison forecast should not be calculated from the SEORJ booking date.

1. Check the official SEORJ current roster to identify whether the person is still displayed and save the Jail ID, book date, arresting agency, court, and case details.
2. Open the correct Perry court docket. Read the filed order for bond, sentence, jail credit, commitment, or judicial release.
3. If Common Pleas committed the person to state prison, use the ODRC Offender Search.
4. Search by surname and add first name as needed, or use the exact offender number. County of Commitment=Perry narrows Perry sentences.
5. Open the detail and compare the offender number, status, sentence, expected-release or parole field, POA/PRD, hearing result, and supervision start.
6. If the public record is unclear, request the sentence-computation record from ODRC Central Records or the existing jail release calculation from SEORJ.

The wider Perry County released-inmate record path helps when the custodian is uncertain or the person has already disappeared from a live roster. A missing roster entry is only a lead. It can mean release, transfer, a data change, or movement to another agency.

Note: County of Commitment identifies the sentencing county, while Residential County applies to certain APA and violator records.

Perry County ODRC Date Fields

ODRC's exact public label is “Expected Release Date/Parole Eligibility Date.” That wording intentionally joins two concepts. According to the official definitions, the value can be a projected release date or a date pending parole consideration. Read it with status and the rest of the detail, not as a stand-alone promise.

An Incarcerated status means the person remains in Ohio prison custody even if the expected date appears to have passed. APA Supervision means the person has moved into Department supervision. The Released filter is useful for finding older results, but the detail record gives the evidence needed to interpret the date.

The ODRC release-date definitions show the official labels used in a person detail.

This captured definition page helps separate a projected date, parole eligibility, and other transfer milestones that may appear together in ODRC.

Perry County Sentence Credits

Ohio release arithmetic starts with the judgment and the correct statutes. ORC 2967.191 provides qualifying jail-time credit for confinement tied to the offense. That can include specified pretrial time, examination time, transport waits, juvenile-facility time, and prior ODRC confinement. The sentencing entry and ODRC calculation should show the credit that applies. Multiple cases, consecutive terms, concurrent terms, and holds make a booking-date estimate unreliable.

Current ORC 2967.194 permits eligible incarcerated people to provisionally earn one or five days per completed month of productive participation, based on the statutory category. A second activity may add credit, and the law separately describes completion credit. The statute also contains exclusions, caps, administrative review, and rules for denial or withdrawal after violations. Older periods may involve ORC 2967.193 and transition language.

The relevant participation and completion aggregate has a 15% cap for one statutory category, apart from another separately treated category. That number does not create a universal rule that every Ohio prisoner serves 85% of a sentence. Some people or terms are excluded. Credit is not automatic, and the result can also reflect jail credit, mandatory terms, offense dates, judicial release, parole, and indefinite-sentence procedures.

The current Ohio earned-credit statute shows the categories, exclusions, and review process.

The statute capture reinforces why a simple percentage calculator cannot replace the official sentence computation for a Perry County case.

Note: Do not subtract 15% from a sentence and report the result as an official Perry County release date.

Perry County Indefinite Prison Terms

Many qualifying first- and second-degree felony cases under Ohio's Reagan Tokes framework receive a minimum and maximum indefinite term. ORC 2967.271 creates a presumption of release at the minimum or presumptive earned early-release date. It also allows continued confinement after required procedures and up to the maximum term. The minimum is not an unconditional promise, and the maximum is not automatically the date ODRC expects release.

Traditional parole applies to different sentence groups. ORC 2967.13 governs major eligibility categories for specified life and legacy sentences. A parole-eligibility date means the Board may consider release. The latest Board result, POA/PRD information, and status show what happened next. Life without parole and specified Chapter 2971 terms do not become eligible under that route.

Judicial release is another path. It comes from the sentencing court under Ohio law and places the person into community supervision when granted. The Common Pleas docket and filed order establish that legal event. ODRC status and supervision fields then help confirm implementation. These separate paths explain why two people with similar nominal terms may not share the same date.

Why Perry County Dates Change

A projected release date can move in either direction. The public detail may not show every intermediate calculation. Ask ODRC Central Records for the current sentence-computation record when a displayed value conflicts with the sentence or has passed while the person remains Incarcerated.

A transfer can also look like release if only the first facility is checked. When a SEORJ entry disappears and a matching ODRC admission appears, the person likely left regional-jail custody for state prison. That is not a community release. Compare the Perry docket, ODRC commitment fields, and the receiving status.

Perry County Jail Date Checks

County-jail sentence calculations begin with the imposed jail term and the court's credit order. Ask SEORJ for its calculation and actual release record. No Perry-specific local good-time policy, weekend-release policy, holiday rule, or early-release timetable was verified. Do not adjust the date to a weekday or guess that a holiday changes it. Bond is also not sentence credit. It authorizes pretrial release subject to the order and any other holds.

SEORJ can be reached at 740-753-4060. Its current roster has booking and case fields but no release-date column or released archive. A focused request should identify the person, approximate booking dates, Jail ID, Perry arresting agency, and case number. Ask for the existing calculation, actual release date and time, release authority, transfer destination, and hold disposition when recorded.

Perry's two courts supply different parts of that calculation. Municipal Court handles countywide misdemeanor and traffic matters, and its online search warns that posting may run at least a day behind or longer. Common Pleas handles felony cases and records the prison term, jail-time credit, commitment, and later judicial-release action. Read the chronological docket and the filed judgment, not just a short status label. A bond entry may authorize pretrial release while another case or detainer keeps the person in custody. A sentence-complete entry may close one term while a separate hold remains. SEORJ confirms its physical release, and the receiving agency confirms any transfer.

When asking for a date, use the label that fits the event. “Expected Release Date/Parole Eligibility Date” belongs to the ODRC forecast. “Actual release date and time” belongs in a jail or prison release record. “Supervision start” documents movement into APA supervision. Keeping those terms intact reduces the risk of treating eligibility, transfer, and discharge as the same event. It also gives the records office a clear request to answer.

ODRC Central Records is at P.O. Box 430, Columbus, OH 43216. Use that office for a state sentence calculation that the public detail does not explain. For notice of a future custody event, the Perry County VINELink Release Check explains registration and the limits of an alert. Always confirm through the custodian after the event.

Note: Perry Municipal Court warns that its online data may lag, so a new order and physical jail release may not appear together.
