District 25 Supervision Role
The Missouri Department of Corrections facility map places District 25 in Poplar Bluff. Its function is post-release or court-ordered community supervision through MODOC’s Division of Probation and Parole. Assigned people can include probationers, parolees, people on conditional release, and other supervision cases. The office does not provide Butler County booking, bond, jail release, mugshot, or federal and immigration custody records.
The distinction changes the meaning of a result. Probation is supervision ordered by a court and can occur without a state prison term. Parole follows imprisonment and keeps the person in MODOC legal custody while living in the community. Conditional release also follows a state sentence and is a supervised part of that sentence. Discharge means the relevant sentence or supervision has ended. It is not another word for parole.
| Status | Connection to District 25 | Primary check |
|---|---|---|
| Probation | Court-ordered community supervision may be assigned locally. | MODOC active search and office |
| Parole | Supervision follows release from state prison. | MODOC active search and P&P |
| Conditional release | Supervised sentence portion follows confinement. | MODOC active search and P&P |
| Final discharge | Active supervision has ended. | Sunshine historical data or MODOC inquiry |
Check District 25 Supervision
Start with the MODOC Offender Web Search. The official landing page says the system searches active offenders, including probationers and parolees, and names or aliases. It also states that discharged offenders are excluded. Complete the CAPTCHA, search the correctly spelled first and last name, try a known alias when appropriate, and preserve the page’s as-of timestamp.
An active result must be read in full. A prison assignment means confinement in state custody. A probation, parole, or conditional-release status may identify a person in the community under supervision. Look for the assigned place or office and match the person with a DOC ID, date of birth, or other available identity marker. A name alone can join two different people.
- Open the official MODOC search and complete its access check.
- Search the full legal name, then a documented alias if needed.
- Match identity with DOC ID and other available details.
- Read the status and assigned place instead of relying on the name hit.
- Call District 25 to verify active supervision and the assigned office when the public record supports that route.
District 25 Supervision Records
MODOC’s public-information inventory identifies several open probation and parole categories. They include confirmation that a person is under supervision, the supervising officer and office, present offenses, sentence and judgment, county, supervision term and conditions, custody or bond, parole or conditional-release date, and a Parole Board release decision. Availability remains subject to law, and confidential case-plan details should not be demanded.
Bring a clear, narrow question to the office. Give the full correct name, DOC number, or date of birth if known. Ask whether supervision is active, what type is shown, which office is assigned, and whether a public parole, conditional-release, or Board decision date is maintained. The full Butler County search and release-record workflow appears on the Butler County released inmates home page, but county jail records remain with the Sheriff.
- Parole
- Supervised community placement after state imprisonment, with the person still in MODOC legal custody.
- Probation
- Court-ordered supervision that may occur without a prison release.
- Conditional release
- A supervised part of a state sentence after confinement.
- Discharge
- The end of the sentence or supervision reflected by the governing MODOC record.
- Absconder
- A status that requires official verification and must not be inferred from a missing search result.
No official statewide, public, name-searchable MODOC absconder or warrant list was located. The Division’s Command Center works with law enforcement on absconders, but a missed appointment or absent web result does not establish that status.
District 25 Discharge Records
When the ordinary search is blank after known MODOC supervision, use the agency’s Sunshine offender data and direct inquiry. MODOC says the nightly compressed file includes all people who have been or currently are under its supervision. That broader scope makes it the historical bridge after final discharge removes a person from the active search.
The file is structured data, not a simple release certificate. It can include DOC ID, identity information, assigned place, case or cause number, offense and sentence counties, charge description, a Completed Flag, sentence date and length, probation data, Sentence Maximum Release Date, and Sentence-I Minimum Release Date. Multiple sentence rows, concurrent or consecutive terms, revocation, and credit can complicate the record.
Do not select one visible date and call it the actual release. Preserve the exact MODOC label and the file’s update date. A minimum date is a sentence calculation. A maximum date is also a sentence-level field. Neither alone identifies where a person physically went or whether a Board decision, another sentence, or a hold changed the outcome. District 25 or MODOC Constituent Services can clarify current or final status.
| Source | Best use | Key limit |
|---|---|---|
| Active offender search | Current prison or supervision status | Excludes discharged offenders |
| Nightly Sunshine file | Prior and current MODOC involvement | Not an actual release certificate |
| District 25 inquiry | Assigned office and public supervision facts | Not a county jail record source |
Local District 25 Verification
District 25 gives Butler County a local way to follow up on an active state result. A person need not travel to a prison to ask which probation and parole office is assigned. The office can help confirm the public supervision category, assigned office, and other public facts that MODOC lists. This is especially useful when the statewide result shows an active status but does not answer a narrow question about the local assignment.
The successful manifest capture comes from the official MODOC facility map, which identifies the Poplar Bluff state-corrections presence.
The image confirms a MODOC location in Butler County, but the map entry must not be interpreted as a state prison or inmate roster.
This local role also prevents a common error. Butler County contains no verified MODOC state correctional institution. District 25 tracks people after or instead of incarceration. It does not show that an ordinary Justice Center detainee was released unless that person actually entered MODOC supervision.
Note: Take the DOC ID and the active result’s as-of time to District 25 so staff can distinguish a namesake or stale status.
District 25 Contact Details
The current MODOC directory places District 25 at the Poplar Bluff address below and gives its main telephone. A dated local brochure lists weekday hours, a fax number, and an after-hours number. Because that brochure dates to 2017, use the current main line to confirm office hours, reporting instructions, and the correct destination before travel. Old staff names should not be treated as current contacts.

For a direct status inquiry, keep the request focused on open information. Ask whether active supervision is confirmed, whether District 25 is the assigned office, what public status is used, and whether a public parole or conditional-release date or Board decision is available. MODOC Constituent Services is another agency routing point when the local office is not the assigned district.
District 25 Release Boundaries
District 25 cannot confirm an ordinary Butler County jail departure unless the person moved into MODOC supervision. A bond release remains a Sheriff and court matter. A county sentence completion is confirmed through the Justice Center release record. A transfer to state prison moves the inquiry to the active MODOC search and the receiving institution. The Butler County Justice Center page covers the county jail path.
Federal and immigration cases also sit outside District 25’s records. BOP covers designated federal prisoners, while federal court records help with case disposition. ICE ODLS covers its own detainees and a limited released-person window. A person transferred from Butler County to either authority has left Sheriff custody, but has not thereby entered District 25 supervision.
Keep the records in sequence: court order, actual county release or transfer, state confinement if any, parole or conditional release, active supervision, then final discharge. These can occur on different dates and come from different offices. A single field called “release date” can blur those stages. Preserve each agency’s label and as-of time.
District 25 Supervision Discharge
MODOC defines early discharge as final release from probation, parole, or conditional-release supervision before the scheduled expiration. A court may reduce probation, while the Parole Board may discharge parole or conditional release. Earned Compliance Credits can affect eligible supervision under Missouri law, but eligibility and exclusions depend on the individual case. The supervising officer is the proper MODOC contact for a person-specific credit question.
Parole time generally counts toward sentence service, and the Board may issue a final discharge or certificate under the governing statute. That framework is not a universal promise that every person leaves supervision on the same timetable. Sentence expiration, offense law, Board action, violations, revocation, and other case facts can affect the end date.
Once final discharge occurs, the ordinary active search may stop returning the person. That is why a blank result must be paired with the Sunshine historical file and an agency inquiry. A confirmed discharge concerns the end of MODOC supervision. It does not erase the county booking event or guarantee that every related court record is publicly visible.
