Pascagoula Restitution Center Inmate Search

Pascagoula Restitution Center Overview

Pascagoula Restitution Center is operated by the Mississippi Department of Corrections. The MDOC facilities map lists it as a restitution center at 1721 E. Kenneth Ave. in Pascagoula. That classification is important: this is not the Jackson County Adult Detention Center, not a municipal lockup, and not the public roster for new arrests. It holds state offenders assigned through MDOC processes for restitution, work, or community corrections obligations.

For Jackson County families, the practical issue is often timing. A person may first appear on the county jail roster after arrest, then disappear from that roster after release, transfer, sentencing, or MDOC placement. Once MDOC takes over custody or assignment, the statewide inmate search is the correct starting point. County jail visitation, commissary, and video rules do not automatically apply at this restitution center.

The official MDOC facilities map is the source that places Pascagoula Restitution Center in the state corrections system.

Use that map to distinguish MDOC facilities and supervision offices from the sheriff-operated jail on Bruce Evans Drive.

Pascagoula Restitution Center Capacity and Population

The current official MDOC facilities list does not publish a capacity for Pascagoula Restitution Center. The research located an older correctional-population reference that listed Jackson County Community Work Center at 75 at a Kenneth Avenue location, but the current MDOC page uses the name Pascagoula Restitution Center. Because the current facility name and classification matter more for public lookup, the current capacity should be treated as not published unless MDOC confirms it directly.

Do not use the Jackson County Adult Detention Center population figures for this facility. The county jail and MDOC restitution center are different custody systems with different rosters, rules, and public contact channels. When a person appears to have moved from county custody into state placement, the MDOC locator and the Pascagoula facility phone are better confirmation points than the county roster.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Pascagoula Restitution Center

Use the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search for Pascagoula Restitution Center. The MDOC search page supports a name search or an ID-number search. For a name search, use last name and, when available, first name to narrow results. For an ID search, use the MDOC number exactly as provided by court, probation, parole, or corrections paperwork.

The official MDOC Inmate Search page shows the name and ID search fields used for state custody lookup.

If the MDOC result does not clearly show Pascagoula Restitution Center, call the facility before arranging a visit, deposit, or mailing.

1. Open the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search page.
2. Choose Name or ID Number as the search criteria.
3. Enter the last name and first name, or enter the exact MDOC ID number.
4. Review the result for current facility, location, status, and public custody information.
5. If the person was only recently arrested in Jackson County, check the county jail roster first, then return to MDOC if the county record disappears after sentencing or transfer.

Pascagoula Restitution Center Address and Contact

Use the facility phone for questions about current location, visitation availability, mail instructions, property, and account rules. Because this is an MDOC facility, the county jail's phone, commissary vendor, video-visit schedule, and mail rules should not be applied unless MDOC or the Pascagoula facility confirms the same rule.

Jackson County also has an MDOC Probation and Parole Office near Kenneth Avenue, but that office is a supervision office and is not the detention facility page target. Confirm that correspondence or travel plans point to the restitution center address, not a supervision-office listing.

Visiting Someone at Pascagoula Restitution Center

The research did not locate a current Pascagoula-specific public visiting schedule in the MDOC facilities listing. Treat visitation as MDOC-controlled, not county-controlled. Family and friends should use MDOC family and friends guidance and call Pascagoula Restitution Center before traveling. Approval, scheduling, identification, dress, and work-program rules may differ from the county jail's video-only visitation model.

Do not schedule a county Adult Detention Center kiosk appointment for someone assigned to Pascagoula Restitution Center. The sheriff's one-free-video-visit policy applies to the county jail research, not automatically to MDOC residents. If an MDOC search result shows a different current location, contact that listed facility instead of Pascagoula.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Pascagoula Restitution Center

Use the MDOC family and friends rules and the facility phone for mail, phone, and money questions. The research confirms the Pascagoula Restitution Center address and phone through MDOC, but it does not confirm a facility-specific public deposit table, commissary vendor, or phone vendor for this restitution center. Because the county Adult Detention Center uses separate county vendors and procedures, those county rules should not be copied onto this MDOC facility.

For mail, start with the person's committed name and MDOC ID if known, then confirm the current mailing format with Pascagoula Restitution Center. For phone access and account deposits, ask whether the resident is eligible under current MDOC rules and which vendor or account type applies. Restitution centers may involve work, obligations, or community corrections conditions, so sending money without confirming the account type can result in delay or misdirected payment.

Assignment and Intake at Pascagoula Restitution Center

Pascagoula Restitution Center should be described as an MDOC assignment or placement, not as a street-arrest booking point. Someone arrested in Jackson County may begin at the Jackson County Adult Detention Center, where the sheriff's roster and booking record apply. After court action, sentencing, revocation, or another MDOC process, the person may become searchable in the state system and may be assigned to a restitution or community corrections facility.

That transition explains many lookup failures. If a person is not visible on the county roster, the possibilities include release, recent booking delay, transfer, sentencing into MDOC custody, or assignment outside Jackson County. If the person is not visible in MDOC either, use the facility phone, county jail 24-hour line, court records, or Mississippi VINELink depending on the stage of the case.

About Pascagoula Restitution Center

Restitution centers sit in a different part of the custody landscape than county jails. County jail custody usually begins with arrest, booking, bond, and pending court dates. MDOC restitution or community corrections placement generally follows state corrections authority and may involve work, restitution, supervision, or other conditions. For Jackson County, that means the Pascagoula facility can be physically local while still being governed by state corrections rules.

The research found no current official BOP prison, ICE detention center, or full state prison facility in Jackson County. Pascagoula Restitution Center is the MDOC detention-related facility in the county, while nearby South Mississippi Correctional Institution and other regional or state prisons are outside Jackson County. Use those outside facilities only as transfer context if an MDOC result points there.
