Jasper ICE Custody Path
ICE detention is federal civil immigration custody. It is distinct from a Jasper County criminal booking, an MDOC state sentence, and a BOP federal prison sentence. A person may leave Jasper Jail and move directly into ICE custody under a detainer. The sheriff may correctly record departure from county custody even though confinement continues.
No ICE facility was found in Jasper County. This is a serving pathway, not a local detention building. Report the Jasper release or transfer event and the later ICE result as separate records. Never convert one agency's release into a claim about every agency.
Search Jasper ICE Records
Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. The preferred method uses the exact nine-digit A-number and country of birth. Add leading zeroes when needed. The alternate search uses exact first and last name, country of birth, and optional date of birth. Exact spelling and hyphens matter.
- Obtain the A-number from the person, counsel, court, or transfer record if possible.
- Enter all nine digits and the correct country of birth.
- If needed, try the exact biographical search and name variants.
- Record the result, access date, and which custody system it describes.
- Call the ICE information line if the transfer or release remains unclear.
The locator does not show people under 18. A no-result screen can reflect spelling, identifier, age, processing, or time-window limits and should lead to agency confirmation.
ICE Jasper Release Contact
ICE's Detention Reporting and Information Line is the direct follow-up for locator problems and custody questions. Have the full name, A-number, country of birth, date of birth, and the known Jasper transfer date ready. The line and locator cover immigration custody, not the county criminal case.

For a county transfer record, ask the Jasper sheriff for the booking and release entry, receiving agency, and transfer date if public. For the criminal case, use the correct Jasper court. Those records can establish the handoff even when the ICE locator has not updated.
ICE Release Window Meaning
Official ICE guidance says the locator includes current detainees and people released from ICE custody within the last 60 days. Jasper County's public sheriff release view lasts 48 hours. These are separate time windows for separate custodians.
| System | Public window or role | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Jasper sheriff | 48-hour release view | County jail departure and reason. |
| ICE locator | Current plus recent ICE releases within 60 days | Federal civil immigration custody status. |
| DHS-VINE | Notification service | Qualifying DHS or ICE custody alerts. |
| Mississippi VINE | Participating county and MDOC events | Not the same registration as DHS-VINE. |
A result released from ICE custody does not establish the end of a county or state case. It also does not explain the immigration outcome. Keep the agency and event date attached to each statement.
DHS-VINE Jasper Notifications
DHS-VINE is separate from Mississippi SAVIN/VINE. It serves qualifying victims, witnesses, family members, and advocates in DHS and ICE matters. A registration in Mississippi's state service should not be assumed to follow a person into immigration custody.
Use the service tied to the current custodian. If Jasper's release record states a federal or immigration handoff, preserve the county identifiers and start the ICE-specific search. Notification is useful for change alerts, while the originating agency record is stronger historical proof.
Jasper ICE Transfer Proof
The Jasper sheriff request should include the full name, arrest number, booking date, approximate transfer date, and the exact components sought. Ask for the release date and reason, receiving agency, transfer date, and release authorization or hold reference if public. Ask for a fee estimate and segregable nonexempt material.
ICE and the county may use different names or identifiers. Preserve the A-number alongside the sheriff arrest number. A county court disposition may continue after physical transfer, so the court docket and ICE custody result answer different questions. The Jasper County released-inmate search provides the full cross-system route.
Jasper ICE Negative Findings
Research confirmed no ICE detention facility and no ICE contract in Jasper County. It also found no local published release time, exit process, or immigration-transfer schedule. Do not assign an ICE address to Jasper County or describe the county jail as an immigration facility.
A missing BOP record does not settle an ICE question because BOP covers sentenced federal prisoners, while ICE uses civil detention. USMS pretrial custody is also separate. Start with the reported custodian and use the matching identifier.
Note: ICE's 60-day recent-release window is not a permanent archive and should not be confused with Jasper County's 48-hour release cards.
Jasper and ICE Event Sequence
A person can produce several valid records in sequence. Jasper County may record a jail departure. ICE may then record current detention. Later, ICE may show a recent release. A court docket may continue to show an open county case throughout those events. None of those sources should be used to overwrite what a different custodian did.
Build the sequence with dates and identifiers: sheriff arrest number, county release reason, receiving agency, A-number, ICE result date, and court case number. If the sheriff record simply says the person is no longer present, request the jail-docket entry. Mississippi Code § 19-25-63 requires the docket to state how a prisoner was released or discharged and the authority or penitentiary receipt.
If the county card says Bonded Out but a separate detainer caused an immediate handoff, both facts may be true. Describe the end of county custody and the start of immigration custody rather than saying the person went free.
Resolve Jasper ICE No Results
First confirm that all nine A-number digits were entered and that the country of birth is correct. Names should match the source record, including hyphens, spacing, and order. Try a known alias only when it belongs to the same person. The locator's age limit and recent-release window can also explain absence.
Next, call the ICE information line and provide the identifiers. If the reported transfer began at Jasper County Jail, call the sheriff for the receiving agency and date. If a lawyer or family member has a custody document, compare its A-number to the search. Keep Mississippi VINE and DHS-VINE registrations separate because they serve different systems.
When the locator no longer retains an older release, ask ICE for the proper records process. A public no-result is not a permanent historical record. The same logic applies to Jasper's 48-hour card, which expires long before the underlying county booking record's scheduled retention term.
Prove Jasper ICE Handoffs
A county detainer transfer can create two valid records on the same day. Jasper County's jail docket can show how county custody ended and identify a receiving authority or receipt. ICE then controls the federal civil detention record. Keep the sheriff arrest number and ICE A-number together, but do not treat them as interchangeable.
The strongest county request names the person, booking number, booking date, approximate handoff date, and exact fields. Ask for the release date and reason, hold or authority reference if public, receiving agency, and transfer date. Mississippi Code § 19-25-63 makes the jail docket's release or discharge method relevant. If the answer merely says the person is gone, ask for the existing docket entry.
ICE timing differs from Jasper's. The locator includes current detainees and people released from ICE custody within the last 60 days. Jasper's public cards last 48 hours and update daily. An ICE result can remain after the county card expires. An older ICE release may fall outside the locator and require a records inquiry. Neither online window defines underlying record retention.
DHS-VINE may provide qualifying immigration alerts, while Mississippi SAVIN/VINE covers participating county and MDOC events. A registration in one does not prove registration in the other. Note which agency generated each alert, preserve the event date, and confirm it with that agency. A Jasper release alert followed by ICE custody may document a transfer chain, not contradictory facts.
Note: Record both the sheriff arrest number and A-number when county custody is followed by an ICE handoff.
