Miss. Code Ann. § 99-43-35: Post-arrest release or escape and post-sentencing information.

The victim has the right to the following information:

(a) As soon as practicable after the date of sentencing, the office of the prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim of the sentence imposed on the defendant.

(b) The names, addresses and telephone numbers of the appropriate agencies and departments to whom request for notice should be provided.

(c) The status of any post-conviction court review or appellate proceeding or any decisions arising from those proceedings shall be furnished to the victim by the Office of the Attorney General or the office of the district attorney, whichever is appropriate, within five (5) business days after the status is known.

(d) Upon any post-arrest release of the defendant, the sheriff or municipal jailer shall, upon request, notify the victim of the release of the defendant. In the case of domestic violence or sexual assault, the appropriate law enforcement agency shall make a reasonable attempt to notify the victim of the defendant’s post-arrest release, regardless of the victim’s exercise of the right to receive this information.

(e) The agency having physical custody of a prisoner shall, if provided a request for notice, and as soon as practicable, give notice to the victim of the escape and, subsequently, the return of the prisoner into custody.

(f) Upon receiving notice from the Department of Mental Health of the release of a person who was civilly committed under Section 41-21-63 as a person with unresolved felony charges found incompetent to stand trial, the office of the prosecuting attorney must notify a victim or victim representative who has complied with Section 99-43-9.
