Point being, that's not why I'm here. My sentence is up, but I'm still jailed when it would make more sense, TO ME, for the ban to have been enacted in a manner that I was automatically released after the duration, not in a way that I had to personally contact someone.

MD is different, this is one of the ways, You "could" have been banned, properly and not be able to get back at all. But instead you were jailed.
All Jail Setences are a minimum time, and you are expected to contact someone to get released
