For example, if an inmate’s release is scheduled for a specific date and time based on court orders or completion of their sentence, it may occur at midnight if that is when the legal requirements are met. Releases may occur at night due to logistical considerations, such as transportation schedules or the need to coordinate with other agencies or facilities.

The timing of inmate releases can vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case and the policies of the jail or correctional facility. If you have questions about the release time for a particular inmate, it’s best to contact the relevant facility directly for more information.
