Iron County Field-Active Release
MODOC Probation and Parole District 15 serves as a community-supervision route for Iron County. It is not a release door. A state prisoner first leaves an institution through parole, conditional release, or another authorized process. The institutional parole office and assigned field district then coordinate supervision. The person may live in the community while remaining an active MODOC offender.
Probation follows a different path. A Missouri court can order probation after jail time, after a program, or without a state prison commitment. An active probation record therefore should not be described as proof that someone was released from prison. Read the judgment and MODOC status together. Final discharge is later than physical release and ends the supervision authority.
Iron County Supervision Definitions
The terms in an Iron County field record describe different legal states. Keeping them separate prevents a probation order, physical release, and final discharge from being collapsed into one event.
- Parole
- Discretionary release authorized by the Missouri Parole Board before sentence expiration, followed by community supervision.
- Conditional release
- A statutory portion of an eligible prison term served in the community under board conditions.
- Probation
- Court-ordered community supervision that may be imposed without a prison stay.
- Field active
- An active MODOC placement outside an institution, commonly routed through a supervision office.
- Discharge
- The end of court or MODOC supervision, not merely release from secure custody.
- Absconder
- A person alleged to have stopped reporting or whose location is unknown. It is not a discharge status.
Confirm Iron County Supervision
The MODOC Offender Search states that it covers active offenders, including probationers and parolees. It also states that discharged offenders are not provided. Use it to identify an active institution or field placement, not as a complete history of everyone once supervised.
- Search by first and last name and complete the CAPTCHA. Repeat with a known alias or spelling variation when needed.
- Match the result by DOC ID, middle name, age or birth information, offense, sentence, and county. A name alone is not enough.
- Read the placement exactly. An institution indicates confinement; a field office can indicate release with active supervision.
- Record the parole or conditional-release date, supervision term, office, status label, and data timestamp only as displayed.
- Call the assigned field office for public status confirmation. Specific questions belong with the caseworker or field officer.
- If no result appears, use the court judgment and MODOC Sunshine route. The active-only limit prevents a no-result discharge conclusion.
The broader Iron County released-person search separates county jail, state prison, and federal records when the original custody authority is uncertain.
Iron County District 15 Assignment
The current MODOC District 15 profile assigns Iron, Jefferson, Reynolds, and Washington counties to the district. It is the best current source for jurisdiction. The page does not establish in the captured text that every Iron County client reports at one Ironton address. A location shown on the matched offender record or supplied by the assigned officer is more specific.
The official District 15 source below documents the current service area.
The image supports the district label, not a current walk-in schedule. Confirm office placement and appointment rules before travel.
| Current jurisdiction | MODOC District 15 |
|---|---|
| Counties served | Iron, Jefferson, Reynolds, and Washington |
| Service type | Community probation and parole supervision |
| Custody function | None established; this is not a jail or prison |
Which Iron County Office Is Current?
The local reporting address has a documented source conflict. A legacy official field-office sheet labels the parent office District 36 at 23 Southtowne Drive in Potosi, 573-438-3448. It also lists an Iron County sub-office at 202 Park Drive in Ironton, 573-546-7463. The current MODOC profile, however, calls the service area District 15.
Use District 15 as the present jurisdiction label. Treat both legacy addresses and numbers as routing leads only. Call first to confirm that the Ironton reporting site remains in use, whether an appointment is required, the current hours, and the assigned officer. A person already under supervision should follow direct officer instructions instead of an old public PDF.
Legacy Iron County Sub-Office
202 Park Drive
Ironton, MO
573-546-7463
Confirm current address, hours, and reporting use.
Legacy Potosi Parent Office
23 Southtowne Drive
Potosi, MO

Older sheet says District 36; current jurisdiction source says District 15.
Iron County Public Supervision Facts
MODOC says public supervision information may include confirmation that a person is supervised, officer or office location, present offense and sentence, county of conviction, supervision term, parole or conditional-release date, board decision, and custody or bond status. Each item remains subject to confidentiality law and the agency’s current record.
Keep a request limited to status and routing facts. Do not seek an exact home address, daily movements, treatment information, victim details, security information, or protected home-plan material. The sex-offender registry is not a general parole locator. Registration and supervision are independent. A person can be on parole without registration, registered without parole, or neither.
| Public fact to ask for | What it establishes | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Active supervision confirmation | Current MODOC jurisdiction | Subject to data date and confidentiality |
| Officer or field office | Correct contact route | Reporting details may be restricted |
| Parole or conditional-release date | State release event | Not final discharge |
| Present offense and sentence | Matched legal context | Use the judgment for the court record |
| Board decision | Public release action | Protected deliberations may be withheld |
Iron County Discharge Record
Final discharge removes a person from the ordinary public MODOC search because that application excludes discharged offenders. A missing name can also result from spelling, omitted confidential data, or another record issue. It cannot prove discharge by itself. Check the court docket for a probation order or discharge filing, then use MODOC records for the state status.
The MODOC Sunshine page provides agency addresses, a nightly active-offender data file, and field definitions. A focused request should give the DOC ID, full name, date range, and exact public record sought. For a parole or conditional-release case, ask for public confirmation of the release date, supervision status, and final discharge date. For board records, use ParoleBoard.SunshineRequest@doc.mo.gov and identify the public action.
Section 610.023 requires action by the end of the third business day, but production may take longer for reasonable cause when the response explains why and supplies the earliest production date. Section 610.026 permits allowed copy, staff, and research costs and lets a requester seek an estimate.
Iron County Absconder Status
An absconder is not a person who completed supervision. It generally indicates an allegation that the person stopped reporting or cannot be found. MODOC may seek custody, and supervision credit or time may be affected. A field officer is the authoritative source for the current status. Case.net may show a violation or warrant, but a court entry alone does not establish where the person is now.
Missouri MOVANS can provide event notices tied to a selected person, including MODOC-related events through the current state system. It is not a full supervision-history database. For DOC notification help, contact the MODOC Office of Victim Services at 573-526-6516 or victims@doc.mo.gov. A custody notification can lag and should not replace direct agency confirmation.
Current registrations begin at the Missouri MOVANS portal. Select the correct person and agency record, compare identifiers, choose the available SMS or email option, complete verification, and retain the registration details. A transfer between local custody and MODOC can require a separate record registration. A “released” notice describes departure from the reporting agency and may not reveal a new hold or destination.
Iron County Parole Board Records
A Missouri parole hearing is not automatic release. The board may set a future release date, schedule another hearing in one to five years, deny release, defer action for more information, or later extend or rescind an action when circumstances change. MODOC states that decisions normally take about eight to twelve weeks. Institutional conduct, adjustment, programs, offense facts, and other relevant information can be reviewed.
No public statewide person-by-person hearing calendar or searchable monthly decisions database was found in the official pages reviewed. For a named active offender, record the DOC ID, contact institutional parole staff, and request a public board action by date range if needed. A favorable decision still precedes legal review, release documents, plan approval, and detainer checks. The hearing, physical release, field supervision, and final discharge remain separate events.
Correct Iron County Supervision Records
Send an error to the office that created it. A county booking or release-movement error belongs with Iron County Sheriff Chuck Helton’s office. A judgment or probation-order error belongs in the court process. A MODOC sentence, date, office, supervision, or discharge error goes to the caseworker, field officer, Constituent Services, or agency records route. Attach the supplied record, identify the exact field, and provide an official source supporting the correction.
Release and discharge papers are not universal identity documents. A person replacing a Missouri credential should use the Missouri DOR document checklist for current proof requirements. A booking photo or supervision paper should not be assumed sufficient identification.
