Find a Jackson County Jail Inmate and Check Current Custody Details
If you are trying to find someone arrested in Jackson County, Mississippi, start with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department inmate lookup. The county roster is the most direct source for checking current Adult Detention Center custody and available charge or bond information.

How to Search the Jackson County, MS Jail Roster
- Open the official Jackson County inmate lookup. Use the county page at co.jackson.ms.us/324/Inmate-Lookup.
- Use the search box on the roster. Enter the inmate’s name. A correctly spelled last name is usually the best place to start when you are unsure of the exact first-name format.
- Review possible matches. Do not assume that the first person with the same name is the person you need.
- Open or review the matching inmate record. Compare the available custody and booking information with what you already know.
- Check charges and bond information. Jackson County states that its current-inmate information can be used to see what a person is charged with, whether the person is bondable and the listed bond amount.
- Confirm urgent information by phone. If you are arranging bond, a visit, transportation after release or another time-sensitive service, call the Adult Detention Center because custody information can change quickly.
Use the county roster for Jackson County, Mississippi. Search results for another Jackson County—such as Jackson County in Missouri—are a different jail system and should not be used for a Mississippi inmate.
What You Can Learn From the Inmate Search
The public roster is primarily a current custody lookup. Jackson County specifically directs the public to its current-inmates page to determine whether someone is incarcerated at the Adult Detention Center and to review available charge and bond information.
| Information needed | Best source |
|---|---|
| Is the person currently in Jackson County jail? | Jackson County inmate lookup |
| Current charges listed with the booking | Jackson County inmate lookup |
| Whether a listed bond is available and the amount | Jackson County inmate lookup; confirm urgent payment details with the jail |
| State-prison location after transfer | Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search |
| Formal criminal case, hearings or filed court records | Appropriate Jackson County court or clerk |
| Visitation, phone, messaging and commissary rules | Jackson County Adult Detention Center inmate-services pages |
Remember: a jail booking or criminal charge is not a conviction. Charges, bond conditions and court outcomes can change after the original booking.
If You Cannot Find the Inmate
A missing name does not automatically mean the person was not arrested. Work through these checks:
- Check the spelling and search again using only the last name.
- Allow time for a very recent arrest to complete the intake and booking process.
- Call the Adult Detention Center at 228-769-3052 if you need immediate custody confirmation.
- If the person may have been transferred to state custody, use the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search.
- MDOC allows searches by first name, last name or MDOC ID number.
- If your question concerns a criminal case rather than present jail custody, contact the appropriate Jackson County court.
County Jail Search vs. Mississippi State Inmate Search
The Jackson County roster and the MDOC inmate search answer different questions. The county roster is appropriate when the person is believed to be in the Jackson County Adult Detention Center. MDOC is appropriate when a person has entered Mississippi Department of Corrections custody.
The MDOC record can include information such as the person’s MDOC number, current location, entry information and a tentative release date when those fields are available.

For a court case, hearing or formal case status, use the court that handles the matter rather than treating the jail roster as a complete court docket.
