Glenn County Release Date Basics
A projected release date is a calculated or scheduled date. An actual release date is the date custody ended. Those dates can be the same, but they often differ. In Glenn County jail cases, release may depend on bail, citation, own-recognizance release, sentence completion, time served, court order, transfer, or another agency hold. In state prison cases, CDCR calculates dates using the sentence, credits, parole rules, detainers, and case-record updates.
Pretrial status is the most common source of confusion. A person booked into Glenn County Jail before judgment does not have a sentence-based release date. The person may be released after bail changes, a hearing, a dismissal, a warrant recall, a plea, or another court action. The daily Recent Bookings PDFs can show bail and warrant facts at intake, but they do not show the final release date or release reason. That makes the court case and Sheriff's Office release record central for county jail date questions.
Find Glenn County Release Dates
The first step is to decide which agency controls the custody. Glenn County Jail, CDCR, BOP, and ICE each use different records. A Glenn County booking report cannot answer a CDCR prison release question, and CIRIS cannot confirm a person who was only booked and released locally. The most reliable date search starts with the most recent known custody system.
- Check whether the person was booked into Glenn County Jail, committed to CDCR, held federally, or transferred to immigration custody.
- For a county jail case, use the Glenn County arrest reports page to locate the booking PDF and collect the booking date, inmate number, charges, bail, and warrant details.
- Use the Glenn Superior Court case search or court portal to review hearing, bail, warrant, sentence, probation, and disposition entries.
- Request the booking and release record from the Glenn County Sheriff's Office when the online pages do not show the actual date.
- For state prison, search CDCR CIRIS by CDCR number or name, then review public status and parole-eligible date fields.
- Use VINELink Release Check for notification while the release is pending, then confirm the completed date with the holding agency.
A date question can cross more than one record. For example, a Glenn County court case may impose a prison commitment, the county jail release record may show transfer to CDCR, and CIRIS may later show the state release or parole-eligible date. Each source is correct for its own custody stage.
CDCR Dates for Glenn Cases
For state prison, California does not always present a single field called projected release date. CDCR and BPH use date labels tied to sentence type and parole eligibility. The Board of Parole Hearings parole eligibility page defines Earliest Possible Release Date, or EPRD, for determinate terms. It also defines Minimum Eligible Parole Date, Nonviolent Parole Eligible Date, Youth Parole Eligible Date, and Elderly Parole Eligible Date. The controlling parole eligible date is the earliest public opportunity for release or parole consideration when more than one date applies.

CIRIS is relevant when a Glenn County case has moved from local jail custody into the California state-prison system.
| Date label | What it means |
|---|---|
| EPRD | Earliest Possible Release Date for many determinate state-prison sentences, after applicable credits. |
| MEPD | Minimum Eligible Parole Date for life-term prisoners eligible for parole consideration. |
| NPED | Nonviolent Parole Eligible Date under Proposition 57 for qualifying nonviolent offenders. |
| YPED or EPED | Youth or elderly parole eligibility dates for qualifying people, with statutory exclusions. |
Credits Affect Release Dates
California release-date calculation is credit driven, but it cannot be computed from a charge name alone. For many county jail terms, Penal Code section 4019 is the conduct-credit statute. The court sentence, actual days served, local conduct credits, exceptions, discipline, holds, and court orders all matter. Glenn County's jail handbook gives practical property and commissary rules, but it does not publish a release-time schedule or a public formula for individual jail dates.
For state prison, Penal Code section 2933 is the worktime-credit authority for eligible determinate sentences. Penal Code section 2933.1 caps worktime credits at no more than 15 percent for people convicted of violent felonies listed in Penal Code section 667.5(c), which is often summarized as serving about 85 percent. CDCR regulations, Proposition 57 rules, resentencing orders, and exclusions can change the calculation.
Why Glenn Dates Change
A release date can move because the legal basis for custody changes. CDCR's resentencing and release information describes case-records work that includes amended abstracts, minute orders, other cases, detainers, parole or PRCS assignments, notices, and release funds. The same logic applies locally in simpler form: a Glenn County court order, warrant, credit change, or new hold can affect a jail date before the person leaves custody.
| Change factor | Effect on release |
|---|---|
| New court order | May release the person, change bail, impose time served, or create a new commitment. |
| Credits recalculated | Can move a county jail or CDCR date earlier or later depending on the correction. |
| Disciplinary credit loss | May delay release where the agency lawfully removes or withholds credits. |
| Detainer or hold | May change the destination from community release to another agency. |
| Parole decision | May grant, deny, postpone, or change the timing for parole-eligible state prisoners. |
| Resentencing | Requires new sentence calculation and may expose paperwork discrepancies for court review. |
Detainers are especially important. A person can reach a projected date and still be released to another agency. In Glenn County terms, the county jail release event may be a transfer to CDCR, another county, BOP, ICE, or a state hospital. That is a release from county custody, but not always release home.
County Jail vs CDCR Date
The date source changes when custody changes. A county jail sentence is tied to the Glenn Superior Court order, jail credits, and any local holds. A state-prison term is tied to CDCR's case records and public CIRIS fields. A federal sentence belongs in the BOP system. Immigration detention has its own locator and release concepts. The same person can move across these systems after one Glenn County arrest.
- Release date
- The actual date a person leaves a custody system.
- Projected date
- A calculated date that may change before release.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that can change the release destination.
- Parole
- State supervision after CDCR release or a parole-board decision.
Confirm Glenn Release Dates
Confirmation should match the custody type. For Glenn County Jail, use the Sheriff's Office release record and Glenn Superior Court case register. For CDCR, use CIRIS first, then CDCR case records or the current institution's case-records office when the person is still in state custody. CDCR family resources also point to the ID Unit for common-name questions where the CDCR number or institution assignment is unknown.
For local jail cases, the strongest request starts with the identifiers from the Recent Bookings PDF. Include the name as listed, arrest date, booking date, inmate number, arresting agency, warrant number if shown, and the charge or case type. Then ask for the public booking and release record showing the actual release date, release time, release reason, and destination or receiving agency if one was recorded. If the court register shows time served, a bail change, a warrant recall, probation, dismissal, or a prison commitment, attach that context to the question instead of trying to compute the date from the booking report alone.
California VINE is useful while a release is pending because it can send notice when a covered custody status changes. It should be paired with the release record after the event. A pending alert tells someone that a custody change may occur. The completed agency record tells what actually happened, when it happened, and whether the person was released to the community or transferred elsewhere.
For state-prison cases, CDCR's resentencing and release information is the correction path when a date appears wrong. The research notes that CDCR case records applies credits, checks court paperwork, and refers sentencing discrepancies back to the court. A person in CDCR custody who believes the calculation is wrong may need to use CDCR's internal request or grievance process, while a person disputing a Glenn County jail release date should start with the Sheriff's Office record and the Glenn Superior Court order.
Note: Glenn County does not publish a fixed jail release-time schedule in the reviewed source set.
