How Accurate Are the Inmate Release Dates Shown on InmateAid

Release dates shown on InmateAid are accurate at the time they are collected from official sources. However like all database-driven information they reflect a specific moment in time and can change between updates.

Here is why a release date might differ from what you expected or what you previously saw.

Release dates are not permanently fixed. They move based on factors that happen inside the facility after the data was last collected. Good behavior and program participation can earn time credits that move a date earlier. Disciplinary incidents or infractions can push a date back. Sentence modifications, appeals, or additional charges can also affect the projected release date.

When InmateAid's data is refreshed the updated date will reflect whatever the official record shows at that moment. In between those updates a date that changed inside the system may not yet be reflected on InmateAid's page.

For the most current and authoritative release date always verify directly through the official source. For federal inmates that is the Bureau of Prisons locator at bop.gov/inmateloc which is updated in near real time. For state inmates the relevant state Department of Corrections inmate search will have the most current information.

Think of InmateAid's release date as a reliable starting point for your search rather than the final word. For planning purposes always confirm with the official source closest to the date that matters to you.
