Find MCCC Release Records

MCCC Releases Serving Kalawao

Maui Community Correctional Center is the defensible primary serving-custody facility for a Kalawao-related state case, but the route is not automatic. The Kalaupapa operational table identifies Kalawao Sheriff and deputized officers, National Park Service law enforcement, and Maui County mutual aid. It does not identify a local jail. DCR’s earlier official reporting describes MCCC as serving Maui County, including Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi. Geography and mutual aid make MCCC the likely DCR route, while the arresting agency and court direction determine the actual destination.

A person may leave MCCC on bail, recognizance, a court release, sentence completion, parole, or furlough. A sentenced felon may instead transfer to a prison. A hold can produce transfer to another agency. “MCCC no longer holds the person” therefore does not always mean release into the community. Ask which custodian received the person and preserve the exact event wording.

DCR’s official MCCC page provides the facility description and current contact route.

The official page confirms a state DCR facility, not a county jail release feed.

Confirm an MCCC Release

Hawaii DCR routes its public offender lookup through Hawaiʻi SAVIN on VINELink. SAVIN can show custody or parole status and configured status-change information. It does not certify a complete release record, promise permanent history, or distinguish every transfer without further checking.

1. Open VINELink, select Hawaii, and search the exact name.
2. Add an offender or case number where the interface allows it.
3. Compare the reporting agency and identifiers before selecting a match.
4. Read the exact custody or parole wording and record the date checked.
5. Call MCCC when the result is absent, delayed, or unclear.
6. Pair the status with the court order or disposition.

A release order proves legal authority. MCCC or DCR proves that staff completed the physical release or transfer. For an old event, request the releasable custody-end facts under Hawaii’s Uniform Information Practices Act.

MCCC Records and Contact

The central line routes facility questions. Separate operations contacts exist for property, accounts, mail, visits, and programs. Staff may protect another person’s information, so use a written DCR request for a durable public release record.

DCR central/UIPA is at 1177 Alakea Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, with telephone 808-587-1288. Verify current email and routing through DCR’s frequently called numbers. No official release-processing hours or public exit point was found. Do not plan a pickup based on an estimated sentence date.

MCCC Release Record Fields

DCR procedure COR.16.02 requires verification of the release authority and person’s identity, a check for other charges, warrants, detainers, and holds, return of property and money, collection of state items, Offendertrak updating, and SAVIN continuity. An approved sponsor or program may be required for supervised release. Those workflow facts do not make all internal documents public.

Identify the full name, DCR or SAVIN number, approximate dates, and custody episode. Ask DCR to redact protected material instead of withholding the whole record where segregation is possible.

About MCCC Custody

DCR describes MCCC as a community correctional center for male and female pretrial detainees and jail-sentenced people. It also supports reintegration for sentenced felons and parole violators. Hawaii’s community correctional centers perform the state’s jail function, while prisons hold sentenced felons in longer-term settings. That state structure is why calling MCCC “Kalawao County Jail” would be wrong.

DCR also reported that 29 prison inmates moved to parole after MCCC furlough participation in FY2024. These official figures describe facility operations. They cannot identify who left in a particular day or three-day window.

MCCC Property After Release

DCR’s public release procedure requires personal items and money to be returned at release or as soon as practical. The facility also collects state-issued property. A person seeking their own missing items should start with the MCCC property or account unit and keep a written record of calls, receipts, and responses.

Property resolution and public status verification are separate tasks. Staff on the property, mail, or visitation lines are not substitutes for the DCR records channel. If a status entry is wrong, contact the facility or SAVIN office and follow with a focused written request. Immediate Offendertrak updating is required, but a live interface can still lag or contain an error.

Getting Home After MCCC Release

MCCC is on Maui. Kalawao is on the Kalaupapa peninsula of Molokaʻi. No official routine transportation promise, public exit point, or release schedule was found. Maui’s fixed-route bus system does not provide a Molokaʻi route. Families should not be told that an ordinary county bus connects Wailuku to Kalaupapa.

DCR’s policy index lists COR.16.07, “Return of Inmates to Island of Commitment,” but the public index alone does not establish eligibility, mode, timing, pickup location, or universal coverage. Ask MCCC or DCR how that policy applies to the named person and release date. Confirm sponsor arrangements, property, travel, and any parole reporting separately.

MCCC Holds and Transfers

No Kalawao ICE contract facility was located. Even so, an immigration hold or another agency detainer can block community release. COR.16.02 directs DCR not to release a person subject to an active hold unless it is rescinded or the requesting authority takes custody. The correct description may be “transferred from MCCC,” not “released.”

Use the ICE locator for immigration detention and the BOP locator for BOP custody. Neither database answers the other’s status. A National Park Service arrest also does not automatically establish a federal prosecution or BOP commitment.

Kalawao Transition and MCCC

Kalawao remains a separate county under special Department of Health administration as of July 16, 2026. Act 171, SLH 2026 creates a future trigger for transition into Maui County. It has not yet taken effect. That later transition could change local law-enforcement and records routing.

Until DOH publishes the triggering notice, current Kalawao and DCR roles should be described in the present form. Recheck each contact after a transition announcement. The facility’s operating agency, the court record, and the actual commitment documents remain more reliable than assumptions based only on geography.

Older MCCC Release Records

VINELink is not promised as a permanent MCCC release archive. For an older custody episode, combine the Hawaii court docket with a narrow DCR request. Give the full name, any DCR or SAVIN identifier, the approximate admission and release dates, and MCCC as the possible facility. Ask for public facts showing the effective end of custody, the release category, and whether the person entered the community or another agency’s custody. This is more precise than requesting an entire corrections file.

A court sentence supplies legal context but does not by itself prove the day MCCC completed departure. Presentence credit, another case, a warrant, or a detainer can affect the practical outcome. When sources differ, DCR owns the facility-completion fact and the court owns the order. Preserve both responses and ask the source of the disputed field to correct or explain it.
