Jackson County Jail Roster
The official Jackson County jail roster is the county's Inmate Lookup page, which the county describes as a listing of people in jail. It is tied to a custom inmate docket application hosted through the county services domain. The visible roster tools include a sort menu, a free-text search box, search and clear behavior, and page controls at the top and bottom of the roster. The listing is meant for people shown in current Jackson County Adult Detention Center custody or current booking status, not for every past arrest record in the county.
The roster is operated in the sheriff's jail system. The Jackson County Sheriff's Department runs the Adult Detention Center, and the sheriff's public site links the roster from its detention center and records areas. Release-retention timing is not published on the visible roster page. If a name was present earlier and later drops off, that may mean release, transfer, correction of an entry, or movement into another custody system. The Jackson County jail mugshots page explains the booking-photo side of that same roster.
The roster also has a local bond warning that matters when an inmate profile prompts a bond question. The sheriff's office says cash bonds are accepted only at the facility and that no one from the office will call to solicit bond payments over the phone. Deposit vendors used for commissary, phone, messaging, or video visits should not be treated as bond payment channels.
The official roster screen is shown on the county's current inmate lookup source page.
The screenshot shows why the roster should be used before third-party lists: it has the county sort controls, search field, booking cards, and the sheriff's bond scam warning in the same official location.
Use Jackson County Inmate Lookup
A good Jackson County inmate records search starts with the least fragile fact: the full name as booked. If the spelling is uncertain, start broad. The official roster can be browsed without a name by leaving the search box empty and using the sort menu. That is useful for recent arrests where the family only knows that a person was taken to the Adult Detention Center.
- Open the official Jackson County Inmate Lookup page from the county website instead of a commercial search result.
- Leave the search field empty and use "Most Recent Inmates" when the name is unknown or the booking is new.
- Type a first or last name in the search box when spelling is known. The roster sends that value to the county inmate docket service.
- Switch sort order if many names match. The menu supports recent booking order and first-name or last-name order.
- Open the card or profile popup to review the public fields that the county makes visible for that booking.
- If no result appears, call the Adult Detention Center, check Mississippi VINE, and consider MDOC, BOP, or ICE if the person is outside county jail custody.
New bookings may not show at the exact moment a person is transported to jail. The research did not locate a published Jackson County refresh schedule or a guaranteed posting time. For a recent arrest, the 24-hour detention number is the better fallback than repeated searches. For a person arrested days or weeks ago, a missing name may point to release, transfer, or a court process outside the jail roster.
Jackson County Roster Fields
The roster's public controls are simple, but they answer different needs. The sort menu is best for browsing recent entries. The free-text search is best when the name is known. Pagination matters when many people match the same last name or when the current roster is long. The table below reflects the fields and behavior visible in the county roster code and public page.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sort order | Dropdown | No | Options include Most Recent Inmates, Least Recent Inmates, Last Name A-Z, Last Name Z-A, First Name A-Z, and First Name Z-A. |
| Search... | Text | Marked required in HTML, but roster can initialize without a search | Free-text search. The roster passes the value as a search parameter to the inmate list endpoint. |
| Page | Pagination control | No | Roster pages are controlled by a page parameter, with controls above and below the list. |
| Search button | Button | Not applicable | Runs the roster search function using the current search value. |
| Clear/reset | Behavior | Not applicable | Clearing the search reloads the roster with an empty or zero search value. |
The roster is not a statewide criminal-history search. It is a custody list for the county jail. It can help confirm a booking, but it should not be used as proof of conviction. Court-filed charges, indictments, pleas, and dispositions are court records, not jail roster fields.
Jackson County Inmate Profile
The public roster code and search snippets identify several card and profile fields. A complete detail popup could not be fetched during research because direct service access returned a Cloudflare challenge outside the public page. For that reason, the confirmed fields below stay close to what the county page and code support. Charge, bond, and housing details may appear in the public profile when the county displays them, but exact labels should be verified on the live roster.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | First name or initial, last name, and middle-name variables used by the roster. |
| Booking Number | The jail control number displayed on the roster card. Observed official snippets used year-prefixed ten-digit examples. |
| Booking Date | The date attached to the booking card as BookDate. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency listed in the roster data as the arrest or delivery agency. |
| ID Number | The identifier used by the county's profile popup route. |
| Mugshot | The booking photo tied to the booking number, with a fallback image request if the first image path fails. |
| Detail Popup | The public route used when a name, card, or image is opened for more booking information. |
| Charges, Bond, or Housing | May appear if the county profile shows them, but exact detail labels were not confirmed in terminal research. |
Record meaning: A Jackson County inmate record is a custody and booking record. A charge listed at booking is an allegation unless a court later enters a conviction or other final disposition.
Jackson County ADC Contacts
The Adult Detention Center is the direct fallback when the roster does not answer a custody question. The official directory lists a business-hours number, a 24-hour number, fax, address, and corrections command staff. The jail is a continuous custody operation, even though the public directory lists weekday office hours for the public-facing contact block.

Jackson County Jail vs MDOC
Jackson County inmate records split by custody system. The county roster covers the Adult Detention Center, where people are held after county or municipal booking, before trial, for short local sentences, or while awaiting transfer. MDOC is the statewide system for sentenced Mississippi prisoners and restitution or community corrections placements. A person at Pascagoula Restitution Center is searched through MDOC, not through the county roster.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Jackson County Use |
|---|---|---|
| County pretrial or short local sentence | Jackson County Inmate Lookup | Adult Detention Center bookings and current roster cards. |
| State sentenced prisoner or restitution center resident | Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search | MDOC custody, including Pascagoula Restitution Center placements. |
| Federal sentenced prisoner | Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator | No BOP institution was located in Jackson County, but federal custody uses BOP records. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | No ICE detention center was located in Jackson County, but ICE custody is separate from the jail roster. |
| Victim notification or release alerts | Mississippi VINELink | Jackson County links statewide VINE for custody-status notification. |
The MDOC search screen is documented at the state inmate search page.
MDOC accepts either a name search or an ID number search, which makes it the correct next step when a Jackson County booking has become a state corrections placement.
The federal locator is shown on the BOP inmate locator source page.
BOP results can say released or not in BOP custody, but that does not prove the person is not held by a county, state, immigration, or court-related authority.
Jackson County Booking Records
Booking begins when a person arrested by the sheriff's department or a local police agency is delivered to the Jackson County Adult Detention Center. Intake creates the jail record, assigns control numbers, takes fingerprints and a booking photo, reviews medical and security needs, stores property, and starts classification. Classification means the jail's assessment of where a person should be housed and how movement should be managed inside the facility.
The ADC handbook says inmates must wear identification wristbands and must not tamper with them. It also describes medical examination and medical-history screening by medical staff. Cash on an inmate at intake is placed into the inmate's personal account. These operational details matter because some facts, such as booking number, booking date, arresting agency, and mugshot, come from intake rather than from later court filings.
After booking, the criminal case track can move into first appearance, bond review, preliminary hearing, grand jury, Circuit Court, County Court, or Justice Court depending on charge type. For court-filed charges and dispositions after an arrest, use the clerk or court systems rather than asking the roster to answer case-status questions.
Jackson County Inmate Visitation
Jackson County Adult Detention Center visits are video visits. On-site visits are scheduled at the front lobby kiosk. The rules give each inmate one free 20-minute on-site visit per week, with up to three visitors in an adult and child combination. Remote video and messaging use CorrectPay or VendEngine and may carry fees. The county has not published a general attorney schedule in the research set, so attorneys and professional visitors should contact the ADC or counsel directly.
| Visit Type | Schedule or Limit | Cost | How to Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site video | One 20-minute visit per inmate per week. No Sunday visits. No visits before 12:30 p.m. Mondays. | Free | Use the kiosk in the front lobby of the Adult Detention Center. |
| Remote video | Available through CorrectPay/VendEngine options. | Remote visit fees may apply. | Use CorrectPay website or app. |
| Attorney or professional | Specific public schedule not located. | Not located | Contact ADC or counsel for current procedure. |
The county's visit policy appears on the official Rules of Visitation page.
The visitation rules are separate from roster access. Confirm custody first, then schedule the visit under the current video-visit rules.
Request Jackson County Jail Records
If the online roster does not show the needed booking record, use the sheriff or ADC contact channels and request records under the Mississippi Public Records Act. The Act makes public records available for inspection unless an exemption applies, and it allows public bodies to set reasonable written procedures and fees. Ask for a specific record, such as the booking sheet, booking number, booking date, or booking photo, and include the full name plus any date of arrest known.
In-person questions can be directed to the ADC lobby at 65 Bruce Evans Drive in Pascagoula during public directory hours, while urgent custody confirmation should use 228-769-3052. The business-hours number, 228-769-3211, is useful for non-urgent jail records and visitation questions.
Some law-enforcement material may be withheld, redacted, or routed elsewhere. Mississippi public-records exemptions can affect investigative reports, juvenile material, sealed or expunged records, security-sensitive material, and records tied to an open criminal inquiry. Court documents should be requested from the Circuit Clerk, MEC, or the proper court channel. Jail staff can confirm custody and jail process, but they do not replace the clerk for indictments, pleas, judgments, or final dispositions.
Jackson County's sheriff site links a Mobile App section, but the official web extraction reviewed for this research did not publish enough app-store detail to confirm whether inmate lookup, warrants, most-wanted, or records requests are app-only. Use the official sheriff site link rather than a third-party app listing.
Mississippi VINE is also useful when the roster no longer shows a person who may have been released or moved. The statewide victim-notification page is available through VINELink Mississippi.
VINELink is a notification and custody-status channel. It is not a substitute for the county roster, MDOC search, court docket, or a public-records request.
Note: Confirm custody with the Adult Detention Center before sending money, scheduling a visit, or traveling to the jail.
