Jefferson Davis County Jail Roster Status
No official Jefferson Davis County online jail roster was located on the county or sheriff site. The official sheriff page gives the Sheriff's Office contact information and states that the sheriff keeps a jail docket, but it does not link to a current-inmate search, recent-bookings list, mugshot gallery, visitation page, commissary vendor, or jail FAQ. That means Jefferson Davis County inmate records must be approached as request-based records unless the jail confirms another channel.
The local jail is the right source for people booked by the Jefferson Davis County Sheriff's Office, Prentiss Police, Bassfield Police if applicable, MHP, MBN, or another agency that uses the jail. The county roster path does not cover sentenced state prisoners after MDOC transfer, federal prisoners in BOP custody, or immigration detainees in ICE custody. Those systems have separate locators and separate rules.
Check Jefferson Davis County Jail Custody
The most direct current-custody route is the jail information line. Call the Jefferson Davis County Sheriff's Office or jail at 601-792-5169 and give enough identifying detail to avoid a wrong-person answer. If the person was arrested very recently, ask whether booking is complete. Intake, fingerprinting, mugshot capture, warrant checks, and jail-docket entry can take time.
- Call 601-792-5169 and ask whether the person is currently held at Jefferson Davis County Jail.
- Give full name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- Ask whether the jail can confirm booking number, booking date, bond status, next court appearance, and hold status.
- If the person is not there, ask whether they were released, transferred to MDOC, taken to court, or held for another agency.
- For documents, request the jail docket or booking record from the Sheriff's Office under Mississippi public-records rules.
Jefferson Davis County Roster Search Fields
Since no official county roster form was found, the local search fields are the facts a caller or requester provides. State and federal systems use web fields when the custody has moved outside the county jail. Use the custody level first, then pick the matching source.
| System | Field Label | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| County jail | No online form located | n/a | Use phone, in person, or written request. Provide name, DOB, arrest date, arresting agency, and bond question. |
| MDOC | Search Criteria | Yes | Name or ID Number on the MS.GOV version. |
| MDOC | Last Name / First Name / MDOC ID | Conditional | Use name fields or the MDOC ID number, then click search. |
| BOP | First, middle, last, race, sex, age | Last name for name route | Federal name search can be narrowed by demographic fields. |
| ICE | A-number, country of birth, name, DOB | Conditional | Use A-number route or biographical route for current ICE detention. |
What Jefferson Davis County Inmate Records Show
A jail-docket or booking record can answer different questions than a court case. It may show the person was booked, the arresting agency, a booking charge, bond status, and whether the person was released or transferred. Court records after the arrest track filed charges, motions, warrants, pleas, dismissals, and dispositions.
| Field | What It Shows or How to Request It |
|---|---|
| Name and aliases | Use full legal name and known aliases when requesting a match. |
| Date of birth or age | Helps distinguish people with similar names. |
| Booking date and time | Shows when jail intake was entered, if releasable. |
| Booking number | Ask whether the jail assigns one and whether it appears on the docket. |
| Charges | Booking charges may later be amended by the prosecutor or court. |
| Bond and hold status | Shows whether release is possible and whether another agency blocks release. |
| Mugshot | No official online photo source was found; request any releasable booking photo from the sheriff. |
Jefferson Davis County Jail Contact
The sheriff's county page publishes the official mailing address, phone, and fax. The physical address most consistently associated with the sheriff and jail is 2330 Columbia Avenue in Prentiss. Because the county page does not publish a detailed visitor page, confirm public entry, lobby hours, parking, and records-request delivery method before travel.

Booking and Initial Appearance
The known local sequence starts with arrest and transport to Jefferson Davis County Jail. A Mississippi DPS release from March 2025 confirms that people encountered during a DPS, MBN, MHP, and sheriff operation were transported to Jefferson Davis County Jail. After arrival, jail intake and jail-docket entry create the local custody record.
Justice Court is the next key point. The county courts page says all felony cases are first heard in Justice Court for initial appearance and filing of affidavit. It also says judges from that office hold court sessions at the jail three times each week so each arrested person receives an initial court appearance within three days of arrest. Bond, holds, and case routing can change after that event.
Jefferson Davis County Jail Visits and Mail
No official Jefferson Davis County visitation schedule, mail policy, commissary vendor, video vendor, deposit link, kiosk rule, or attorney-visit policy was located on the county website. Do not rely on unofficial jail-information pages for those details. Ask the jail directly before visiting, sending money, or mailing property.
| Need | Channel | Questions to Ask |
|---|---|---|
| Visit schedule | Call 601-792-5169 | Days, times, appointment rules, visitor list, ID, dress code, and lockdown changes. |
| Call jail | Mailing address, inmate name format, booking number use, and banned items. | |
| Money or commissary | Call jail | Whether deposits are accepted in person, by kiosk, online, phone, or money order. |
| Phone or video | Call jail | Vendor, rates, account setup, remote video availability, and blocked-call issues. |
| Attorney visits | Call jail and court | Attorney visits often follow different rules than social visits. |
Bond Holds and Release Records
Bond information is part of a useful Jefferson Davis County inmate records check, but no official county bond-payment page or fee schedule was found. Ask the jail whether bond has been set, which court set it, the exact amount, the bond type, and whether a separate hold blocks release. A hold can come from another county, a probation or parole matter, MDOC, ICE, a federal warrant, or a court order that does not allow release by payment alone.
| Bond or Hold Term | Plain Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | Money paid directly to secure release and future court appearance. |
| Surety bond | A licensed bondsman or surety posts the bond for a fee paid by the defendant or family. |
| Property bond | Property may secure release if the court and local rules allow it. |
| PR or recognizance | Release on a written promise to appear, sometimes with added conditions. |
| No-bond or agency hold | Payment to Jefferson Davis County will not release the person until the hold is resolved. |
Justice Court matters early because the county courts page ties initial felony appearances and affidavits to that office. Once the case is filed or changed in court, the bond record may be clearer in court records than in a simple custody call.
Public Records Act Requests
When a phone call does not provide enough detail, ask for the jail docket or booking record in writing. The request should name the person, include a date of birth if known, give the approximate arrest date, identify the records sought, and provide return contact details. The Mississippi Ethics Commission explains the public-records complaint process, including the need to attach a written denial when a requester files a complaint after access is refused.
Some jail record details may be withheld. Juvenile matters, investigative records, sealed or expunged records, victim information, personal identifiers, medical details, and security-sensitive jail information can be restricted. A good request asks for releasable portions of the record instead of assuming that every line in a booking file is public.
County, State, Federal, and ICE Lookup
Use MDOC inmate search for sentenced state prisoners. The MS.GOV-hosted version searches by name or MDOC ID number. MDOC records questions about offender time, jail credit, and eligibility dates can go to the MDOC Records Department at 601-933-2889 or MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us.
Use Mississippi VINE for custody-status notification. MDOC also lists MS SAVIN phone assistance at 601-359-5759, a 24-hour representative line at 1-888-9-MSSAVIN, and TTY at 866-847-1298. Use the BOP inmate locator for federal inmates and ICE ODLS for immigration detainees. These systems do not prove that a person is currently in Jefferson Davis County Jail.
The MDOC inmate search page is the correct statewide route after a Jefferson Davis County case results in a state-prison transfer.
Request Jefferson Davis County Booking Records
For a written record, address the request to the Jefferson Davis County Sheriff's Office. Include the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, requested record type, requester contact information, and preferred delivery method. Ask whether fees apply before payment. Mississippi's public-records process may allow exemptions for investigative, juvenile, sealed, expunged, personal, victim, or security-sensitive information.
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before sending money, scheduling a visit, or assuming that an online third-party listing is current.
