Find Solano Release Dates

Projected vs Actual Release

A projected release date is a calculated or expected date. It is not the same as the actual moment custody ends. Solano's active locator field is useful because the result grid visibly includes Projected Release Date with Facility, Inmate Number, Inmate Name, and DOB. If a person is still listed, the date is a current-custody clue. If the person has disappeared from the active roster, confirm the actual release through booking logs, VINE, court records, or a sheriff release record.

Lookup Solano Release Dates

The right lookup path depends on who controls custody. County jail dates and CDCR state-prison dates use different systems and legal terms.

1. Search the Solano Sheriff in-custody locator for current county jail custody and the Projected Release Date field.
2. If the person no longer appears, check the Jail Booking Logs, VINE, and court portal to see whether release, transfer, or court action occurred.
3. Use CDCR CIRIS for people in California state-prison custody.
4. Use BPH pages for parole-hearing dates, results, and eligibility terms.
5. Request the sheriff booking/release record when the official release time and manner are needed.

Solano Jail Credit Rules

County jail dates can shift because credits and legal status vary. California Penal Code section 4019 is the county-custody credit statute to cite for many local jail, probation, PRCS, and related custody situations. It is not a simple rule that every person serves the same share of a sentence. Credits depend on the offense, sentence, conduct, exclusions, and court order.

For some violent-felony sentences, Penal Code section 2933.1 limits worktime credit to no more than 15 percent. That is the safer way to describe the common "85 percent" idea: it applies to certain convictions, not every Solano booking.

CDCR Release Date Terms

CDCR and the Board of Parole Hearings use several date labels. BPH explains Earliest Possible Release Date for determinate terms and Minimum Eligible Parole Date for indeterminate life terms. It also lists NPED, YPED, and EPED categories. These are not the same as Solano's county-jail Projected Release Date field.

Why Solano Dates Change

A projected date can change before release. Court orders, abstract-of-judgment processing, resentencing, credits, discipline, warrants, detainers, parole decisions, medical or transfer issues, and agency data updates can all alter a date. CDCR's release and resentencing material explains that case records staff process abstracts and minute orders while complying with release mandates.

Confirm Solano Release Dates

For pending releases, register with VINE Inmate Check if the person is in a participating Solano jail feed. For historical release proof, request the record from the Sheriff's Records/Warrants Bureau or use the Solano court record. For state-prison releases, CDCR records and BPH results are the proper path. A release-date lookup should end with the agency that created the custody record.

Pretrial Solano Date Limits

A pretrial detainee may have no fixed release date. Release can depend on bail, a court order, dismissal, warrant action, transfer, or another legal event. That is why a blank projected date on the Solano locator should be read with caution. It may mean the jail cannot calculate a sentenced date from the public data, not that the person will never be released.

For sentenced county jail time, compare the court sentence, jail credits, and any holds. For CDCR prison time, compare CIRIS, BPH eligibility terms, hearing results, and CDCR case-record processing. For a completed release, the actual time and manner comes from the release record, not the projected date field.

Bail and Solano Release Timing

Bond-out releases do not follow the same timing as sentence-completion releases. Solano Superior Court's bail page links the current bail schedule, and the 2026 schedule describes its purpose as fixing amounts for certain warrantless arrests before a court appearance. If bail is posted, the person may leave jail while the case continues. That makes the court case and sheriff release record more important than a projected jail date.

When a projected date and a bail event conflict, trust the legal event after it is confirmed by the court or sheriff record. A projected date can be overtaken by a court order, bail change, warrant recall, or transfer. A person can also leave the county jail because of a transfer to CDCR, another county, federal custody, or immigration custody, none of which should be described as a simple local discharge without records support.

BPH Grants and Final Release

For indeterminate state-prison cases, a Board of Parole Hearings grant is not the same as walking out of custody. BPH says a grant is a recommendation that can be reviewed by the Board's Legal Division and the Governor's Office before it becomes final. A Solano County reader may see a BPH result tied to California State Prison, Solano or California Medical Facility and assume release is complete, but the actual custody change still needs CDCR confirmation.

Use the BPH result to understand parole suitability, then use CDCR records, parole reporting information, VINE if applicable, and supervision routing to verify what happened next. For determinate sentences, EPRD and credits matter. For life terms, MEPD and hearing results matter. Neither set of terms should be mixed with the Solano Sheriff locator's county-jail Projected Release Date field.

After the Solano Date Passes

Once a projected date has passed, the question changes from prediction to confirmation. Search the active locator again, then check the Solano Jail Booking Logs if the custody event is still within the recent seven-day public window. If the person has dropped from active custody, use VINE, the court case, and sheriff records to decide whether the outcome was release, transfer, rebooking, or another hold.

A court disposition can explain why the release date changed or disappeared. The court may show bail, sentence served, a dismissal, probation, a warrant action, or a transfer order. The sheriff record can supply the public time and manner of release. CDCR, BPH, BOP, or ICE should be used only when the custody authority changed to state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention.

Do not treat absence from one search as the whole answer. A Solano jail result can vanish because the person was released, but it can also vanish after a transfer to CDCR, another county, federal custody, or ICE. The right final source is the agency that held the person at the moment custody changed.

Release Date Request Fields

A precise records request is easier to answer than a broad question. For a county jail date, include the person's full name, date of birth if known, booking number, booking date, facility, arresting agency, court case number, and the date range being checked. Ask for public booking and release information, including release date, release time, release manner, and current holding location or transfer destination if public.

For CDCR cases, use the CDCR number when available. For BOP, use the register number when known. For ICE, use the A-number if available, or the name, country of birth, and birth date path described by USA.gov. Those identifiers keep a Solano County release date lookup from mixing people with similar names.

Note: If a date is needed for a person still in jail, the active Solano locator is only the starting point; the final date should be checked again when custody actually changes.

Keep projected and actual dates separate in notes, especially after transfers or detainers.
