Check MISC Release Status

MISC Release and Transition Paths

Maui Intake Service Center supports local DCR intake, records, pretrial, furlough, and transition functions. It is closely tied to Maui Community Correctional Center. DCR’s MCCC materials direct people seeking more information to the MCCC Intake and Records route or MISC. That makes MISC a practical point of contact when a recent MCCC departure is unclear online.

The word “released” needs care here. A person may be freed by bail, dismissal, time served, probation, or supervised release. Yet a person may also enter extended furlough or a program while remaining under DCR authority. Furlough permits approved community movement or placement under rules. It is not the same as final sentence discharge. A transfer to MCCC, an Oʻahu prison, a hospital, or another authority is also not community release.

Confirm a MISC Release

Begin with the full legal name and an approximate booking, intake, or departure date. Call MISC and ask a narrow question: does the person remain in DCR custody, did the person leave to the community, or did the person transfer or move to a supervised program? Do not request private sponsor contact. Ask for the public record that shows the status and date.

Then use Hawaiʻi SAVIN, the public custody and parole route named by DCR. Search the exact name or known identifier under Hawaiʻi and read the status wording as displayed. The system is useful for a current person check or notification, but it is not a complete historical release archive. A no-result does not prove release. Police-only custody, an old event, a spelling mismatch, or a transfer can also cause an absent result.

1. Contact MISC with the person’s legal name and approximate MCCC custody dates.
2. Search statewide SAVIN and save the exact custody or parole status and time checked.
3. Review the matching Maui case through the Judiciary court-record gateway.
4. Request the executed release record when the category, time, or destination type remains unclear.

MISC Records and Contact

MISC can route a current Maui inquiry and help identify the relevant DCR record. The office contact comes from DCR’s published numbers. No separate public MISC release database or posted daily release gallery was found. Direct contact and written records are therefore central when the status cannot be resolved through SAVIN.

The published material does not supply MISC public counter hours. Verify current access and the appropriate records unit before making an in-person trip. Do not copy the apparent stray mailing number shown in one rendered DCR list. The researched address is 1797 Wili Pa Loop #1, and it should be checked against the current DCR site if a formal delivery is planned.

For MCCC facility questions, the companion contact is 600 Waiale Drive, Wailuku, HI 96793, at 808-243-5101. MISC is the more focused intake, records, and transition route; MCCC is the physical correctional facility. The roles overlap, but they should not be described as two independent prisons.

Obtain MISC Release Records

Use Hawaiʻi’s Request to Access a Government Record when phone and online checks do not supply durable proof. Send the request to the agency that holds the record, usually DCR or MCCC/MISC. OIP oversees the public-records law but does not store DCR operational files.

A focused request should identify the person, any known DCR number, MCCC or MISC connection, and a narrow date range. Ask for the releasable parts of DCR 8219, actual release date and time, release type, releasing facility, destination category, supporting document type, and final Offendertrak custody-status entry. If furlough or a program is at issue, ask for the public status and category rather than a private sponsor’s name, address, or phone.

DCR records may include birth dates, physical traits, victim material, holds, medical destinations, and private program contacts. UIPA, Hawaiʻi’s Uniform Information Practices Act in HRS chapter 92F, permits exemptions and redaction. Segregable public facts should be requested apart from protected details. OIP guidance describes a normal response within ten business days and up to twenty in extenuating circumstances. It also describes search and review fees, so requesting electronic records and a cost estimate can help keep the request focused.

MISC Court and Release Timing

The Maui court case explains why release was legally authorized. eCourt may show bail, dismissal, supervised release, probation, time served, judgment, or a later revocation. The docket can remain available after a current custody result changes. Still, the docket is not the same as the facility’s executed release event.

DCR’s release procedure requires identity and document matching, review of charges and criminal numbers, and screening for holds or pending charges. An order entered on one day may be executed later. A second case, extradition matter, or receiving-agency hold can prevent a standard gate release.

Label each date. The judge’s signature, clerk entry, DCR receipt, completed DCR release, and SAVIN notification can all differ. MISC can help resolve which local DCR event occurred, while the court owns its order. The Maui County release-record overview gives the full cross-system verification path.

Note: A court order provides legal authority, while the final DCR status entry provides stronger proof that physical processing was completed.

MISC Furlough Release Meaning

Extended furlough is a distinctive part of MISC transition work. It can place a person in the community or a structured setting before the sentence and DCR authority end. That status differs from parole, which is supervised by the Hawaiʻi Paroling Authority, and from probation, which is imposed through the Judiciary.

Furlough

Approved movement or placement while DCR authority continues.

Parole

Community release under HPA custody, control, and conditions.

Probation

Court-ordered community supervision rather than HPA parole.

Discharge

An end status whose exact scope must be read from the full record.

A supervised release to a program or sponsor may also keep conditions in force. DCR 8219 distinguishes these categories and can name the program or sponsor internally. Public verification should focus on release type and destination category. Private contact data may be redacted.

If SAVIN shows parole, confirm the HPA hearing result and actual DCR release. If the court shows probation, use the criminal case and the appropriate Judiciary probation route. MISC should not be treated as the supervising agency for every community status.

MISC in Hawaiʻi’s Facility Network

Maui has no state prison. Hawaiʻi’s three prisons are on Oʻahu, while MCCC serves Maui as a state-run jail and transition center. A Maui defendant can move from police holding through MCCC and MISC, then to an Oʻahu prison. A sentenced person can later return toward Maui for transition. Some Hawaiʻi prisoners may also be housed at Saguaro in Arizona.

This geography makes location a poor substitute for status. A return to Maui can mean preparation for parole or a program, not final release. A move away from Maui can be a prison transfer rather than discharge. Statewide SAVIN, DCR records, and HPA follow the corrections path beyond one island.

The local sequence can be expressed as: police holding → MCCC intake → court or prison decision → MISC transition work where applicable → community release, parole, program, or transfer. Each arrow is a separate event. Obtain the record for the event being verified.

MISC Release Source Conflicts

When a family report, SAVIN status, court entry, and MISC answer differ, first ask whether they describe the same event. An approved program date may be planning. A court order may await DCR checks. A SAVIN alert may follow the agency update. None should be silently converted into a final discharge.

The strongest proof of physical release is the releasing agency’s executed record. The court is strongest for the order. HPA is strongest for a parole decision and later discharge. SAVIN is a useful public-facing derivative source. Use at least two when the exact outcome matters.

If the records truly conflict, contact the owner of each entry and preserve the response. Ask MISC or DCR about Offendertrak and DCR 8219. Ask the clerk about the docket. Ask HPA about parole. A careful source trail distinguishes correction from mere delay.
