Utah State Release Outcomes
Utah State Correctional Facility is a state prison in Salt Lake County. It serves sentenced UDC prisoners from across Utah, including a person committed after a Morgan County case. Once UDC takes custody, the Weber or Davis current jail roster is no longer the controlling search. The statewide UDC record, Board order, and sentencing court establish what happened.
A parole release changes physical custody but does not end state authority. The person enters community supervision through UDC Adult Probation and Parole, or may move to a community correctional center. Expiration, termination, or discharge more fully ends the sentence or supervision described by the record. A transfer between secure sites is still custody. Read UDC Location, Housing Facility, and Release Date/Type together before describing the result.
Confirm a Utah State Release
Begin at the UDC Offender Search. The public system covers people currently under UDC supervision. Search by offender number when known, or use the live name form and verify identity. It is not a permanent archive of all people who fully discharged, and it does not cover an ordinary county detainee who was never committed to UDC.
Use this short verification route:
- Search UDC by offender number or name and open the matching detail.
- Record the exact Location, Housing Facility, and Release Date/Type values.
- Search the Board hearing and decision system by name, offender number, or date.
- Read the published decision, not just the hearing calendar.
- If the sources conflict, call the Board and seek the focused UDC record.
The Morgan County release-record overview supplies the separate route for a county detainee. Keeping the paths apart prevents a negative UDC result from being mistaken for proof about a local jail case.
Note: UDC warns its search is not real time, so the latest agency record controls when an online field lags.
Utah State Release Fields
UDC's public detail uses a specific set of labels. Preserve those labels when taking notes because a plain-language paraphrase can erase a key distinction. Location may show PAROLE even when Release Date/Type is blank or marked N/A. That supports physical release from prison to supervision, not full discharge. A future date is subject to later Board action and is not a guarantee.
| UDC field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Offender # | Stable identifier for matching UDC and Board records |
| Offender Name | Identity shown in the public state record |
| Location | Reported status such as prison, parole, or probation |
| Housing Facility | Administrative housing value, which may not be a street address |
| Release Date/Type | The exact combined date and event label UDC elects to publish |
| Case Manager | UDC routing information tied to the live record |
A Location of PROBATION is also a community status, but it does not prove the person served a prison term. After full termination, a person may leave the current-supervision search. Board decisions, the Morgan sentencing docket, and a focused UDC records request then become the historical path.
Utah State Board Release Record
The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole sets many actual prison-release outcomes. Its search accepts first and last name together, offender number, or a date range. A future range can find scheduled hearings. A person or past-date search can expose published decisions. Known aliases may appear, so match the offender number when possible.
An original hearing can lead to a parole date, more programming, further review, or a rehearing. A rescission process can withdraw a granted date before the person exits. Violation and evidentiary matters can affect a person already on parole. The Board says it does not decide on hearing day and usually posts decisions two to six weeks later. The published order is therefore more useful than a calendar listing.
The successful facility manifest image comes from the Board's official hearing and review types page.

The capture places original, violation, rescission, and review processes in the Board system that governs state-prison release decisions.
Utah State Release Contacts
Use UDC for the custody and supervision record. Use the Board for hearings, decisions, parole dates, and sentence termination within its authority. The research identifies USCF's release location and the Board's public contact, but it does not provide a facility telephone number. No number should be inferred.

Call the Board when a decision and UDC field conflict or a technical issue affects status information. For the original Morgan conviction, use the sentencing court's docket. The court owns its order; UDC owns the prison and supervision fields.
Note: VINE can send a status alert, but it is not the certified prison-release record and may contain delayed data.
Utah State Release Day
UDC's Release Day instructions say prison paroles and releases are processed on Tuesdays at the USCF Release building. Support people for those housed at USCF or Central Utah Correctional Facility are told to arrive at 9 a.m. UDC advises allowing one to four hours and limits pickup attendance to two people. These are official logistics, not a promise that every named person will exit on a given Tuesday.
The process also covers many UDC clients held in contract county jails. Their support people are directed to arrive at 10 a.m. because UDC says almost all scheduled releases are processed through USCF. A person without a ride may receive transport to a nearby UTA TRAX station from staff or volunteers, and UDC says those without rides leave last. A transfer to a community correctional center is handled by UDC transport.
Does leaving the prison building end all authority? Not on parole. AP&P supervision continues until discharge or termination.
These logistics apply to UDC release. They do not apply to bail or sentence completion at Weber or Davis County jails.
Utah State Release Context
Morgan's lack of jail beds explains the local custody map, but USCF belongs to a separate system. Weber and Davis receive county jail commitments. USCF is an endpoint after a court imposes a state-prison sentence and UDC assumes control. Its statewide role makes a Morgan roster unnecessary and makes the offender number especially useful.
Utah generally uses indeterminate prison sentences. Under that framework, the sentence runs between a statutory minimum and maximum unless the Board acts sooner. There is no researched basis for importing a blanket rule that every Utah prisoner serves one fixed share. Earned-time adjustments, Board decisions, program completion, discipline, holds, and rescission can affect timing.
UDC's release point also centralizes transitions from more than one physical site. Someone housed at CUCF or a contract county jail may be brought to USCF for processing. That movement is part of the state record chain, not a separate Morgan County jail release.
Split Morgan-UDC Release Records
Record custody is divided by government function. Morgan law enforcement and courts hold the originating case, sentence, and local transport history. UDC holds prison placement, Location, Release Date/Type, and supervision records. The Board holds hearings and decisions. Asking the Morgan sheriff for a USCF release timestamp would send the request to the wrong custodian.
Build the chronology with the Morgan judgment, UDC offender number and location, Board decision, and UDC status after the scheduled event. If full discharge causes the person to fall out of the live UDC search, request the historical state record and consult the public Board decision. Ask both local and state agencies only when the desired facts cross those boundaries.
- Parole
- Physical release from prison while Board and AP&P authority continues.
- Expiration
- Completion of the sentence at its governing endpoint.
- Discharge
- End of the relevant correctional or supervisory authority.
- Rescission
- A process that can withdraw a granted release date before departure.
Save the UDC offender number with the Morgan case number. The paired identifiers make later Board and agency requests more exact and reduce the risk of confusing people with similar names. Record the date each online field was checked because a valid future order and an older location value can briefly differ during processing.
Note: A current county roster cannot confirm a state-prison discharge after UDC has accepted the person.
