Check Holmes Correctional Institution Releases

Holmes Correctional Release Paths

Holmes Correctional Institution is operated by the Florida Department of Corrections. It is not an annex of the Holmes County Jail. A sentenced prisoner can leave the institution because FDC transferred the person to another state facility, because the calculated sentence and gain-time date arrived, or because an authorized supervised release began. Some people leave prison under conditional release or parole authority. Others complete custody without an active supervision term.

The statewide offender record separates these outcomes. Another institution listed as the current location means the person remained in FDC custody. A community supervision location or active supervised-population record means prison custody ended but legal supervision continues. A released record with a Release Date and matching Date Out-Custody can establish an FDC exit. Full discharge means the relevant custody or supervision term ended; it should not be inferred from a move or an upcoming date. The Holmes County released inmate search compares the state-prison route with county, court, federal, and immigration records.

Search Holmes Correctional Releases

The FDC Inmate Population Information Search is the first statewide route for a person held at Holmes Correctional Institution. Use the DC number when available. It is more exact than a name. Otherwise, enter the last and first name, try aliases when needed, and open each plausible detail. Compare the committed name, birth date, physical description, photo, DC number, offenses, and sentence history before relying on a match.

The official FDC form shows the name, DC-number, alias, and photo controls used for a Holmes Correctional Institution record.

The form also warns that corrections information can change quickly. Confirm a near-term event with FDC when the precise status or release date matters.

1. Search by DC number, or use the full last name and enough of the first name to narrow the result.
2. Open the detail record and compare identifying and sentence facts. Do not rely on the list alone.
3. Read current location, custody, sentence history, detainers, and all release-related dates together.
4. If the person is outside prison, check the supervised-population record for an active term and reporting location.
5. Request the existing FDC release detail or movement history when the public record does not show the needed event.

FDC Holmes Inmate Release Search

FDC maintains several separate database views through its Corrections Offender Network menu. The dedicated Inmate Releases Search covers people already released or scheduled for release and updates nightly. Current inmate and supervised-population data generally refresh on a different schedule. A newly posted release or transfer can therefore appear at different times across views.

The official nightly release form is designed for an FDC prison event, including a release from Holmes Correctional Institution.

Search results must still be read with the detailed offender history. A scheduled date may change, and a record can include more than one sentence, case, or custody period.

FDC expressly limits the database to felony offenders sentenced to state prison or state supervision. It excludes county-jail-only cases and county probation. That boundary works both ways: the FDC release search is correct for Holmes Correctional Institution, while a person who bonded out of the nearby sheriff's jail may never appear.

Holmes Correctional Release Record Fields

An FDC released-person detail checked during the Holmes County research displayed a stable DC number, identity data, custody, Release Date, aliases, sentence history, detainers, and incarceration history. The strongest public match pairs the Release Date with the corresponding Date Out-Custody. The fields can vary by case. A page should use the label actually shown, not promise that every record contains the same status phrase.

An official FDC released example demonstrates how the two date fields appear within the state record.

Those dates support an FDC exit. They do not by themselves prove that all supervision ended or explain every detainer and later sentence.

Note: An offender photograph is tied to the FDC record and may not show current appearance or match an earlier Holmes County booking image.

Holmes Correctional Release Date Changes

Florida law calls the gain-time-based projection a tentative release date. The live public detail may instead display Current Release Date. Under Florida Statute 944.275, FDC establishes a maximum sentence expiration date and calculates the tentative release date using lawful credit and gain-time rules. The portal warns that the current date can change because of gain-time awards, forfeiture, or review. “TO BE SET” means review is still pending.

For offenses committed on or after October 1, 1995, incentive gain-time cannot reduce service below 85 percent of the imposed sentence, counting qualifying jail credit. Older offense cohorts and some exclusions follow different rules. Life sentences are not turned into a routine calculated date. Do not estimate a named person's release by applying one simple percentage to the sentence.

New or consecutive sentences, corrected jail credit, restored gain-time, disciplinary forfeiture, escape or violation time, revocation, court amendments, detainers, and statutory ineligibility can move or replace a date. Florida Statute 944.28 addresses gain-time forfeiture in specified circumstances. A displayed projection helps with planning, but it is not the completed release event.

Holmes Correctional Supervised Release

Prison release and unconditional discharge are not synonyms. The dedicated FDC Supervised Population Search can show Supervision Begin Date, Current Location, Current Status, Supervision Type, Scheduled Termination Date, aliases, and community supervision history. Those fields help distinguish an active community term from one that ended.

Conditional release and parole arise under different authorities. The Florida Commission on Offender Review makes several release and revocation decisions, while FDC Community Corrections carries out supervision. Many modern Florida prisoners are not parole eligible because eligibility depends on offense date and sentence. Never turn a scheduled Commission agenda item into a granted release. The actual order and FDC status control.

Conditional release

A statutory supervised exit from prison that is distinct from parole.

Parole

A supervised prison release available only in eligible Florida cases.

Supervision termination

The recorded end of a community supervision term.

Discharge

Completion or termination of the relevant legal custody or supervision obligation.

Holmes County belongs to FDC Circuit 14, but the offender detail should identify the right reporting unit. The FDC Circuit 14 office path and the judgment distinguish state supervision from county probation.

Holmes Correctional Release Records

The institution can answer site-specific questions, but FDC's central database and public-records process are stronger historical sources. The official Holmes Correctional Institution page identifies the state prison. Contact the institution for facility information, then use the offender record for person-level status and dates.

When the public detail is incomplete, use the FDC Public Records Request page. Identify the person by full name and DC number. Ask for an existing release detail, movement history, sentence or release-date calculation, discharge data, or controlling order. FDC processes requests under chapter 119 and section 945.10, reviews exempt content, provides cost estimates, and prepares records after required payment.

No flat release-record fee, promised response time, or published release-record retention period was found on that page. FDC need not create a new analysis or answer a research question, so the request should name the existing record sought.

Holmes Work Camp Record Nuance

A 2021 PREA audit of Holmes Correctional Institution described a main unit and a work camp. It also said the work camp was closed during the on-site audit. That older audit is useful historical context, but it does not establish a currently independent release location.

The current statewide correctional-facilities directory lists Holmes Correctional Institution at the Thomas Drive address and does not list a separately active Holmes Work Camp. The released-site manifest therefore remains one state-prison page for Holmes Correctional Institution. A third facility page would overstate the present official directory evidence.

If a historical offender record names the work camp, keep that wording in its date context and follow the person's later FDC movement history. For a current search, use the Holmes Correctional Institution record and statewide FDC tools. This prevents an old audit label from being mistaken for a separate active prison or the Holmes County Jail work-release program.
