Check Southeast State Correctional Complex Releases

Southeast Complex Offender Releases

Southeast State Correctional Complex is a Kentucky state prison, not the county jail. A person may leave through DOC discharge, parole, mandatory reentry supervision, conditional release, or transfer to another correctional institution. Only some of those events place the person in the community. A prison transfer changes the facility but does not end Kentucky custody.

An SSCC release also does not establish a return to Floyd County. A valid release plan may send the person anywhere approved by DOC and supervision staff. Confirm both the custody status and the destination-related supervision record when that distinction matters.

Confirm Southeast Complex Discharge

Kentucky Offender Online Lookup, known as KOOL, is the main public search for a state offender. Search by name or DOC number, match the identifying details, and read the current status, location, sentence, and projected release information. A projected date is a current computation, not proof that the person left.

1. Search KOOL and open the matching offender detail.
2. Check whether the status says incarcerated, released, discharged, or another term.
3. Compare the reported institution with Southeast State Correctional Complex.
4. Check VINE and the dated DOC Daily Releases file for a corresponding event.
5. Use Parole Board or Probation and Parole records when supervision applies.

The Floyd County released inmate search explains the wider records path, but SSCC cases remain statewide DOC matters even though the prison is in Floyd County.

Southeast Complex Release Contacts

Facility staff can route institution questions, while DOC holds the master offender and release records. Phone calls are useful for routing, but protected details may not be released orally. No public walk-in records hours were established in the research, so call before traveling.

Request a named offender’s custody release date, release type, status change, discharge notice, sentence computation, or supervision commencement. Include the name and DOC number. Electronic copies are preferred, and a focused request is more useful than “all records.” Kentucky correctional-record, privacy, medical, victim, and security limits may require redaction.

Southeast Correctional Complex Facts

The Kentucky Department of Corrections operates Southeast State Correctional Complex in Wheelwright. The official facility page describes it as a state-operated, medium-security institution. It opened in September 2020 and occupies 111 acres.

These facts describe the institution. They are not a count of releases, an average prison term, or a forecast of how many people will return to Floyd County. SSCC houses sentenced state offenders whose cases may come from counties across Kentucky.

Two Floyd County Release Systems

Floyd County’s jail and state prison create an uncommon search problem. A search for a Floyd County released inmate can refer to a local detainee in Prestonsburg or a sentenced state offender in Wheelwright. The correct record follows the custody source, not the county name alone.

A person can also move between systems. Transfer into SSCC ends the local jail stay but begins or continues prison custody. The Floyd County Detention Center release page covers that local path.

Note: The county of the prison is not necessarily the county of conviction, residence, supervision, or approved return.

Southeast Complex Release Records

KOOL provides a fast public starting point, while the DOC master file can answer questions that the public screen does not. Daily Releases adds a date-based historical source for DOC-linked events. Its files can show name, DOC number, release type, releasing facility, and felony class. They are not county jail rosters and contain no general photo feed.

When an entry is unclear, preserve the access date and request the specific underlying record. DOC records schedules govern retention, while statutory exceptions can limit public access to parts of an offender file.

Southeast Complex Post-Release Status

Leaving prison and completing a sentence are not always the same event. Parole is conditional community release granted through the Kentucky Parole Board. Mandatory reentry supervision can apply by statute even without a favorable discretionary parole grant. Final discharge means the relevant DOC sentence or supervision term has ended.

Parole

Conditional release from prison under community supervision.

Mandatory reentry supervision

A statutory supervision period that is distinct from a parole grant.

Discharge

Completion of the applicable sentence or supervision obligation.

Transfer

Movement to another custodian without community release.

Parole hearing schedules show consideration, not actual release. A grant starts processing and conditions. Confirm the later physical event through KOOL, VINE, Daily Releases, and DOC. For community supervision questions, Kentucky DOC Probation and Parole can route inquiries at 502-782-2277.

Southeast Complex Release Dates

A projected release date incorporates the sentence structure, prior-custody credit, eligible statutory credits, forfeitures or restorations, and legal limits. It is different from parole eligibility, a hearing date, minimum expiration, maximum expiration, and actual discharge. Court changes, detainers, credit decisions, or parole action can move the estimate.

Kentucky law addresses several types of sentence credit, but no single shortcut works for all offenders. Violent-offender restrictions and offense-specific rules may limit early release. Use the current statute and the person’s sentence computation instead of applying a broad percentage from an old summary.

After the date passes, an actual released or discharged status is stronger than the old projection. If KOOL, VINE, and a release PDF conflict, contact DOC rather than choosing the source with the most convenient date.

Southeast Complex Parole Records

Kentucky Parole Board schedules and eligibility lists can show that an SSCC offender is approaching Board review. The Board publishes schedules monthly and updates its schedule information each Monday. Public eligibility lists include the offender name, DOC number, location, and eligibility month. Downloadable material may add the indictment number, conviction date, offense, county grouping, hearing month, and processing date. These fields support identity matching, but appearance on a list is not a release decision.

The county grouping refers to county of conviction. It does not mean the person resides there or plans to return there. A person housed at Southeast State Correctional Complex may have a conviction from elsewhere in Kentucky. In the same way, a person convicted in Floyd County can be confined at another prison. Search by DOC number and name, then verify the institution on KOOL.

A hearing may occur before the actual eligibility date. Outcomes can include a grant or recommendation, deferment, serve out, revocation action, or reconsideration. A grant begins release planning and conditions. It does not prove the time or date when the person physically left SSCC. If the result is not clear from later KOOL and VINE status, request the written decision or action sheet from the Parole Board and compare it with the DOC release record.

Southeast Complex DOC Record Request

A DOC records request can resolve questions that public search screens leave open. Identify the offender by name and DOC number, and ask for a specific item: custody release date, release type, status change, notice of discharge, parole certificate, sentence calculation, or the start or completion of community supervision. Requesting defined records avoids asking staff to create a new narrative.

Public access is not unlimited. Kentucky correctional-record law can restrict specified inmate and facility information. Privacy, security, medical, juvenile, victim, sealed, and expunged material may also require withholding or redaction. Ask for the segregable remainder, which means the nonexempt portion that can be separated from protected details. Electronic delivery may make a focused request easier to process.

Retention schedules help determine how long DOC keeps a record, but retention does not guarantee that every field is public. Capture the KOOL screen and access date before filing. Include the Daily Releases date and facility entry if one exists. That gives the records custodian a precise event to locate and creates a clear way to compare the final response with the public status history.

Identity matching is essential at this prison because the institution houses people convicted across Kentucky. A shared name is not enough. Compare the DOC number, age or birth information when displayed, conviction county, offense, sentence, and reported location. If KOOL returns no match, try a partial name and known identifier before drawing a conclusion. A no-result can mean a search mismatch, a data delay, or that the person was never within Kentucky DOC jurisdiction. VINE may also display separate local and DOC records for one person. Treat those as distinct custody histories. The strongest release finding joins a DOC status or release date with the corresponding Daily Releases, VINE, sentence, or Board record.
