Renewal #2 Release Records

Renewal #2 Release Meaning

Renewal #2 is listed in Pennsylvania's community-corrections network as a Community Contract Facility. It is a monitored state placement. It should not be described as an SCI, county jail, or unconditional release site. A resident can have approved movement and still remain under Pennsylvania Department of Corrections control. The committing authority, not the building style, determines which record governs the next transition.

A move from an SCI into Renewal #2 may be a step within the state correctional process. A person can later move into parole supervision in the community, return to an institution, transfer to another approved placement, or reach another state-authorized status. Each event has a separate meaning. The locator and assigned parole office are the proper starting points for determining whether the person remains in a DOC-managed setting.

Allegheny County Jail also uses contractors and controlled placements, but Renewal #2's Facility Map entry is specifically the PA DOC location at 704 Second Avenue. Do not merge that state role with county alternative-placement records simply because the operator's name appears in both systems. Establish the inmate number, parole number, and committing authority first.

Confirm Renewal #2 Release

The PA DOC Inmate and Parolee Locator is the correct public search route. Search with a DOC inmate number or parole number when available. A number reduces mistaken matches. If only a name is known, compare date of birth, identifiers, current location, and any available image before deciding that the result concerns the right person.

1. Choose the inmate or department-supervised-person route that fits the known status.
2. Enter the inmate or parole number. Use name and identity filters only when a number is unavailable.
3. Open the matching result and preserve the labels exactly, including current location and Release Date.
4. If Renewal #2 remains the current location, treat the placement as continuing state control.
5. If the result points to parole supervision, contact the assigned state parole office for the current supervision status.
6. Request an existing DOC record when the public result does not provide the documentary detail needed.

The verified public label is Release Date. Research did not verify a PA DOC field named “Projected Release Date,” “Tentative Release Date,” or a status literally named “Released/Discharged.” Preserve the system's wording. A Release Date beside a parole number can support departure from prison into supervision, but it does not prove that parole has ended.

Note: A public locator result should be saved with its checked date because location and supervision details can change.

Renewal #2 Release Contact

The facility contact confirms which Renewal location is being discussed. Status questions that concern a DOC sentence or parole transition may still require the statewide locator and assigned supervision office. Staff disclosure can be limited, so use the public record first and call with the person's correct identifier.

When the locator shows state supervision in Allegheny County, the PA DOC Pittsburgh District Office is at 134 Enterprise Street, Pittsburgh, and can be reached at 412-365-3540. The North Shore Sub Office is at 1121 West North Avenue and can be reached at 412-442-5840. Those offices address state supervision. Allegheny Adult Probation handles county cases and is a different authority.

The PA DOC Bureau of Community Corrections contact page provides the official community-corrections context shown below:

The state page helps route questions about a community-corrections placement without treating Renewal #2 as a county jail.

Renewal #2 Release Status Differences

Four milestones are easy to confuse: leaving an SCI, entering a community-corrections facility, release to parole supervision, and discharge from supervision. Renewal #2 can sit between the first and third milestones. A person may be outside a prison wall but still subject to DOC control, approved movement rules, and a state placement.

A favorable parole decision also does not prove physical release. Pennsylvania's process can require the minimum date, an approved home plan, release orders, scheduling, and clearance of holds. A move may be delayed or changed by misconduct, a warrant, a failed plan, a sentence-time correction, or another sentence. Use the actual location and event label, not a predicted outcome.

PA SAVIN/VINELink can add a custody or movement notice for participating state systems. Read the alert type before using it. A move notification may reflect entry into or departure from community corrections without proving full discharge. Pennsylvania's absconder search is narrower still. It can identify a state-supervision allegation, but it does not show the person's current physical location or establish that supervision ended. The locator and assigned parole office remain the main state-status pair.

County Adult Probation should be used only when the court record shows a county supervision case. PA DOC expressly does not manage ordinary Allegheny County probation. Matching the supervision authority prevents a Renewal #2 state placement from being routed to the wrong Pittsburgh office.

Renewal #2 State Records

The public locator should be used before a formal state request. It can expose inmate or parole numbers, date of birth, current location, Release Date, and an available photograph. If a specific existing record or field is required, send a narrow request to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Right-to-Know Law Office. A request cannot require DOC to create a forecast or disclose private institutional-plan material.

Identify the inmate number and exact record or field. State whether the request concerns transfer into Renewal #2, the location entry, a release event, or another existing state record. Ask for electronic delivery. The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law does not force creation of a record and does not impose one universal retention period.

County court records can provide a sentence or disposition from an Allegheny case, but a county docket is not the DOC movement log. Pair the two sources. The court explains legal authority, while DOC records establish the state placement and later custody transition.

Note: Send a state-placement request to PA DOC, not to Allegheny County merely because Renewal #2 is in Pittsburgh.

Renewal #2 Release Detainer Questions

ANGLE K requires a careful local boundary. Allegheny County Jail Policy 220 says ACJ will not delay an otherwise authorized release merely for a DHS Form I-247 civil detainer or an I-200 administrative warrant, and that such a detainer does not impede bond. A judicially signed warrant is different. That policy governs ACJ. It should not be presented as Renewal #2 or PA DOC policy.

If a person moved from ACJ to state custody before Renewal #2, keep each transition separate. ACJ can confirm whether its departure was a release or transfer. PA DOC controls the state record after it accepts custody. An immigration question at the state stage must be verified through DOC and, when genuinely implicated, the appropriate federal immigration channel.

Never infer an ICE handoff from the existence of a civil detainer, a missing name, or a change in location. ACJ stores its detainer forms in the individual file rather than the jail offender-management system, so a specific county file request may be needed for the ACJ portion. That fact does not establish what PA DOC later did.

Renewal #2 Release Authority Route

The final check begins by naming the custodian. Renewal #2 means Pennsylvania community corrections when the state Facility Map entry is involved. A county booking record remains with Allegheny County. A state movement or release record belongs with PA DOC. A county court sentence or order belongs in UJS and the Allegheny Department of Court Records. These records can describe the same person without describing the same event.

PA DOC locator

Public state location, identifiers, Release Date, and supervised-person search.

DOC parole office

State field-supervision questions after a transition into parole.

UJS docket

The sentence, disposition, and later court events, not live physical custody.

ACJ

The county-jail departure before a state transfer, when ACJ was part of the path.

The Allegheny County released-inmate search provides the broader authority decision path. For Renewal #2, the key conclusion must say whether the evidence establishes a monitored placement, release from prison into supervision, or a later discharge. Those statements are not interchangeable.
