Madison Correctional Institution Release Outcomes
Madison Correctional Institution is operated by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. It is not the Madison County jail. A person leaving this institution follows the state-prison release path even though the prison is physically located in Madison County. ODRC Offender Search can continue to display the record after the person leaves the institution.
Possible outcomes include release into APA supervision, judicial release ordered by the sentencing court, transfer to another ODRC setting, transfer to another authority, or a later released status in the public record. APA SUPERVISION means prison confinement ended and state supervision continues. RELEASED - Judicial Release reflects a sentencing-court mechanism, usually with community-control terms. Neither label should be shortened to final discharge without supporting documentation.
Search Madison Correctional Institution Releases
The ODRC Offender Search is the correct public locator. Search by offender number when possible because names can collide. ODRC numbers require the letter prefix and six digits, and agency instructions caution that some female W numbers need a leading zero. Name searches work best with only enough fields to narrow a match.
- Enter the offender number, or search by first and last name with minimal extra filters.
- Compare birth date, offense, docket, county of commitment, and offender number before selecting a record.
- Read the exact status, institution or residential location, admission date, and release-related fields.
- For
APA SUPERVISION, note the supervision start, period, residential county, and displayed APA office. - Compare the public result with the latest signed sentencing-court entry when the release mechanism or date matters.
- Send a specific data question to ODRC Central Records when an exact field conflicts with a court document.
County of commitment identifies the sentencing county. It does not show where the person is confined now, where the person will live, or which APA office supervises release. The statewide result should control those separate questions.
The successful manifest image comes from the official ODRC search form.
The form confirms that Madison Correctional release research belongs in the state system, not Tri-County Regional Jail's current roster.
Madison Correctional Institution Release Fields
An ODRC result can contain several dates and labels. They answer different questions. A field may also be blank because it does not apply or is not displayed for that record. Blank does not mean zero, none, or immediate release.
| ODRC field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Status | Distinguishes incarceration, APA supervision, released records, and violator-at-large records |
| Institution or residential location | Shows the relevant prison placement or last recorded supervision location |
| Expected Release Date/Parole Eligibility Date | A combined label that may be a projection or eligibility for Board consideration |
| POA/PRD Date | May identify parole-on-or-after timing or a projected release date |
| Supervision start and period | Supports transition from prison to continued APA supervision |
| APA office | Identifies the state office responsible for the individual supervision record |
| Committing county and docket | Connects the state record to the sentencing court and case |
ODRC also may show a photograph, offenses, effective sentence date, jail-time credit, aggregate sentence, and Parole Board fields. The agency warns that offense lists may be incomplete and that a supervision period may arise from a prior offense. Read the full record before describing why someone left prison.
Note: Keep the exact combined date label because parole eligibility permits review but does not guarantee release from Madison Correctional Institution.
Madison Correctional Institution Records Contact
The research identifies the official facility page but does not supply a verified Madison Correctional Institution street address, phone number, or public records hours. Those details are therefore omitted. Use the current official Madison Correctional Institution page for facility contact information and ODRC Central Records for questions about the public offender record.

State records have special limits. ORC 5120.21 requires ODRC to keep discharge, transfer, and related facts, but it also restricts public access to the broader inmate and APA file. The law permits disclosure of listed information such as name, convictions, photograph, supervision status, incarceration history, and disciplinary history. A request for an entire institutional file can therefore meet confidentiality limits even when the public search shows a release status.
For documentary release proof, give Central Records the full name and offender number and ask for the releasable record that identifies the date, cause, and terms of discharge or the transfer event. Request the narrow fields needed to confirm custody. If part is confidential, ask ODRC to identify the restriction and provide any portion that the statute permits it to disclose.
For a correction, identify the person by name and offender number. Quote the exact field label and value, state when it was viewed, and attach the conflicting signed court entry. This gives Central Records a defined data issue rather than asking staff to calculate a sentence from a narrative.
Madison Correctional Institution APA Supervision
Ohio's Adult Parole Authority supervises parole and post-release control. Under ORC 2967.02, DRC retains legal custody of a parolee or releasee until final release. An APA record is thus positive evidence that prison confinement ended, but it also shows that legal supervision continues.
Use the APA office displayed on the person-specific ODRC result. Do not route supervision by Madison County, the institution name, or county of commitment. A person released from Madison Correctional Institution can be supervised elsewhere in Ohio. Residential county is the last recorded county for a supervision or violator record, not proof of a current address.
ODRC's posted Conditions of Supervision direct a releasee to report in person to the supervising officer by the next business day and to obtain permission before leaving Ohio. Individual conditions and orders control. A supervision start date supports the prison-to-community transition, while the later agency discharge record establishes the end of state supervision.
Madison Correctional Institution Name Collision
Madison County has an unusual naming problem. The Sheriff's old county jail closed, and local Madison cases are housed at Tri-County Regional Jail. At the same time, Madison Correctional Institution and London Correctional Institution are state prisons located in the county. A search for a “Madison inmate” can therefore point to three separate correctional settings.
Agency and sentence resolve the ambiguity. A short local detention belongs to Tri-County, the local courts, and VINE. A prison sentence belongs to ODRC, regardless of whether the institution sits in Madison County. The person may have been committed by any Ohio county and may be released to an APA office somewhere else.
The Madison County released-inmate search separates the regional jail, both state prisons, and federal contingency routes. Confirming the custodial system first prevents a current county roster from being used to search for a former state prisoner.
Madison Correctional Institution Detainer Transfers
A sentence ending at Madison Correctional Institution does not always mean release into the community. A detainer, court order, or another agency's authority can lead to transfer. The receiving-agency field or related record matters because the ODRC custody change and community release are not the same event.
No official source reviewed identifies a Madison County ICE contract detention facility. Immigration lookup is not a routine branch for every ODRC release. Use it only when the court, ODRC record, or another reliable source documents an immigration detainer or transfer. ICE describes a detainer as a request for notice and a brief hold so it may assume custody.
The same caution applies to federal custody and other state or local holds. A BOP locator result addresses federal prison custody, not an ordinary ODRC sentence. Ask ODRC for the maintained release type or destination agency, then verify the receiving system. A non-result in another locator cannot erase a documented transfer.
Note: Never infer an ICE or federal handoff from a changed ODRC status without a source that identifies the receiving authority.
Madison Correctional Institution Judicial Release
Judicial release is ordered by the sentencing court under ORC 2929.20 for an eligible prisoner. Filing an application does not change custody. The court must grant it, and the signed order should be read for community-control terms. ODRC may display RELEASED - Judicial Release after the event.
The successful matched manifest capture below is an official ODRC example. The ODRC judicial-release result demonstrates a released status, date fields, a supervision start, a supervision period, and an APA office.
The example shows why a released status must be read alongside court authority and supervision details rather than treated as the end of every obligation.
Confirm Madison Correctional Institution Discharge
For a current check, save the ODRC status and exact field labels with the date viewed. Compare them to the signed sentencing-court entry and any supervision start. If a future date is involved, the Madison County projected release process explains earned credit, jail-time credit, parole eligibility, and why dates change.
The most reliable conclusion states only what the records support. INCARCERATED means ODRC prison custody continues. APA SUPERVISION supports release from prison into supervision. A released or judicial-release label should be paired with its dates and court record. Final discharge needs its own agency or court support.
When two sources differ, do not silently choose one. Preserve both timestamps and labels. Send an ODRC field issue to Central Records and a journal issue to the sentencing clerk. That process produces a corrected official record instead of an unsourced release calculation.
