District 20 Release Role
Missouri Probation and Parole District 20 is the local MODOC field-supervision office in Camdenton. Its listed service area includes Camden, Benton, Morgan, Miller, Hickory, and Laclede counties. The official entry marks the Community Supervision Center and Community Release Center function as “Off.” That detail confirms the site is an office, not a residential placement and not a custodial institution.
A person released from a Missouri prison to parole or conditional release may be assigned to District 20. A person placed on probation by a court may also be supervised there without having left state prison. Parole is a conditional prison release under Parole Board authority. Probation is a court-ordered community sentence. Conditional release is a supervised portion of an eligible prison sentence. None of those labels means the person is housed inside the Camdenton office.
| Status | Custody meaning |
|---|---|
| Parole | Released from prison to community supervision |
| Conditional release | Serving a supervised sentence portion in the community |
| Probation | Under a court community order |
| Final discharge | Applicable state supervision has ended |
Verify District 20 Supervision
Begin with the MODOC Web Offender Search. It is an active-offender system and can include probationers, parolees, and people on conditional release. Search by DOC number when possible, or use name fields and compare identity details. Note the source's data time. A location or status tied to a probation and parole district supports community supervision, not confinement in Camden County Detention Center.
- Confirm that the person has a MODOC or Missouri court supervision connection.
- Search the active-offender system and match the DOC number or several identity fields.
- Read the public status and location without translating supervision into incarceration.
- Call District 20 with the full name, DOC number, and lawful identifying details.
- Ask whether public information confirms assignment, officer or office, and release or supervision dates.
The active search explicitly omits discharged offenders. A blank result can mean discharge, a mismatch, restricted data, or no state-corrections connection. It cannot by itself establish that supervision ended. For an older case, seek the MODOC discharge record or historical Sunshine data and compare the court record.
District 20 Record Contact
The current official MODOC listing places District 20 at 409 W. U.S. Highway 54 in Camdenton. The researched state district schedule is generally Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., excluding holidays, but callers should verify local hours before visiting. The older official brochure lists an after-hours emergency line; that line is for real emergencies, not routine record research.

The official District 20 entry is represented in the captured research image.
The office listing supplies the local address, phone, and field-office status needed to route a supervision check without mislabeling the site as a prison.
An official MODOC family-and-friends guide says releasable information can include confirmation of supervision, supervising officer and office, custody or bond status, parole or conditional-release date, and the Parole Board's release decision. Staff may withhold protected case-management details. Ask about public facts, not predictions about revocation or confidential plans.
District 20 Discharge Records
Supervision can end through final discharge after the applicable term and legal requirements are met. Missouri section 217.703 creates earned compliance credits for certain eligible people on probation, parole, or conditional release. It generally reduces supervision by 30 days for each full calendar month of compliance, subject to eligibility, exclusions, violation periods, custody, suspension, and absconder rules. These are post-release credits. They are not prison good time and did not move the original prison gate date.
MODOC calculates remaining supervision and provides notice as discharge approaches under the law. Restitution conditions and other statutory requirements can matter. When the active public result disappears, request the discharge date and public discharge record through MODOC's Sunshine channel. The historical dataset can offer a clue, but a direct response is stronger if timing is disputed.
- Supervision
- Community control and reporting after parole, conditional release, or a probation order.
- Discharge
- The end of the applicable MODOC supervision term.
- Absconder
- A defined supervision status involving unknown whereabouts and avoidance, not a label for any missed visit.
- Revocation
- An official action that can return a supervised person to custody.
District 20 Warrants and Release
No public statewide MODOC name-by-name absconder list was found in the research. The Division has operational warrant and command functions, but those are not public search portals. Do not infer absconder status from a missed appointment, stale address, roster absence, or active MODOC entry. Verify public supervision and warrant information through the assigned office or the proper law-enforcement channel.
A parole warrant can return someone to custody after a true earlier release. That later custody event does not erase the release record. Keep dates in order: institutional release, start of supervision, reported violation or warrant, and any new booking. District 20 can address the state-supervision part, while Camden County Detention Center handles a new county booking.
Note: Routine record questions should use the office line during verified hours, not an after-hours emergency number.
Camden Release System Boundaries
County, state, and federal systems should not be blended. The Camden sheriff's 48-hour feed confirms a recent county-jail departure. MODOC confirms state custody or active supervision. District 20 confirms a local assignment within the public limits. BOP and ICE answer separate federal questions. A person can leave one custodian and enter another on the same path.
For the original jail event and full records chain, use the Camden County released-inmate search. For the state supervision office itself, keep the MODOC result and District 20 response with the court order or Parole Board record. This yields a dated, source-specific record instead of a broad claim that someone is simply “free.”
When an ICE hold follows release, the county release timestamp and federal custody can both be true. Search exact federal identifiers and ask for the receiving disposition. District 20 cannot certify custody controlled by another authority.
District 20 Release Decisions
District 20 supervises qualifying community cases, but the field office does not replace the Missouri Parole Board. Section 217.690 gives the Board release authority and restrictions. A Board outcome may be a presumptive date, denial with a conditional or maximum-release path, or a later hearing. A presumptive date is conditional and can change based on conduct, programming, a viable release plan, a detainer, or new information.
The official process says a Board decision generally follows about eight to twelve weeks after a hearing. No public statewide person-by-person hearing calendar or searchable decision database was verified. Public decision material can be requested from the Board, while case-specific release-date and home-plan questions are directed to institutional parole staff. Once release occurs and District 20 receives the assignment, the field office becomes the local verification route.
For a public Board record, use ParoleBoard.SunshineRequest@doc.mo.gov. For the office assignment, call District 20. These contacts serve different stages and should not be treated as interchangeable.
District 20 Supervision Records
A purpose-neutral supervision check can ask whether the person is under MODOC supervision, which field office is assigned, and which public release, conditional-release, or discharge dates can be confirmed. Staff may also identify the supervising officer when that information is releasable. Conditions, treatment details, victim information, and internal case-management notes can be restricted.
If a current status is disputed, preserve the offender-search timestamp and the exact office response. MODOC warns that some public information may be withheld for safety, security, or confidentiality. The active search is a locator and status lead, not a complete history. A Sunshine request is the better route for a durable discharge record after the active entry vanishes.
A court docket can confirm a probation order or later revocation, but District 20 is the better source for the assigned state office. Pair both with the original prison or jail release record when a complete timeline is needed.
