Lookup Jefferson Davis County Jail Inmates

Jefferson Davis County Jail Overview

Jefferson Davis County Jail is the only detention facility confirmed inside the county from the facility map research. It is a county jail and local detention facility, not a state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, regional correctional facility, or work-release center. The operator is the Jefferson Davis County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page names Ron Strickland as sheriff and states that the sheriff serves as county jailor and keeps a jail docket.

The jail holds people arrested locally, pretrial detainees, people waiting on Justice Court initial appearance, people held on local misdemeanor or felony process, and sentenced county prisoners if ordered locally. People sentenced to state prison should be searched through MDOC after transfer. Federal and immigration detainees require BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels unless they were locally booked first.

Jefferson Davis County Jail Population

Current rated capacity and current daily population were not located in official county materials. Prisoners of the Census lists Jefferson Davis County Jail with 29 people in local correctional-population data dated December 31, 2013. That is a historical population figure, not a current capacity. The county website did not publish a current jail population dashboard, annual booking total, or demographic breakdown.

How to Look Up Jefferson Davis County Jail Inmates

No official Jefferson Davis County Jail online roster was found. Current custody checks should start with the jail phone line. If the person is not held locally, ask whether they were released, transferred to MDOC, held for another agency, transported to court, or moved into federal or immigration custody.

1. Call 601-792-5169 and ask whether the person is currently in Jefferson Davis County Jail.
2. Provide full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
3. Ask for releasable booking number, booking date, bond, next court appearance, and hold status.
4. For written proof, request the jail docket or booking record from the Sheriff's Office under Mississippi public-records rules.
5. Use MDOC, VINE, BOP, or ICE only when the custody type has moved outside the county jail.

Jefferson Davis County Jail Address

The county sheriff page publishes the Sheriff's Office mailing address, phone, and fax. The physical address most consistently associated with the sheriff and jail is 2330 Columbia Avenue in Prentiss. Because no official visitor-entry page was located, verify public entrance, parking, accessibility, lobby hours, and prohibited items by phone before travel.

The official sheriff page is the source for the sheriff's office phone, mailing address, and jail-docket duty.

Visiting Jefferson Davis County Jail

No official visitation schedule, mail policy, commissary vendor, video vendor, money-deposit page, fee table, or attorney-visit rule was located for Jefferson Davis County Jail. Do not rely on unofficial vendor claims unless the jail confirms them. Call before travel, especially when court, weather, staffing, lockdown, or holiday changes may affect visits.

Mail, Phone, and Money

The research did not find an official Jefferson Davis County Jail mail format, commissary provider, deposit vendor, phone provider, video provider, or fee schedule. Ask the jail whether inmate mail uses the P.O. Box or another address, whether a booking number is required, and whether photos, books, cards, or money orders are accepted. Ask about deposits before sending funds, because an unconfirmed vendor can send money to the wrong place.

Booking at Jefferson Davis County Jail

Booking follows arrest by a local or state agency and transport to the jail. The sheriff's official duties include keeping a jail docket. The court page adds an important local detail: felony cases are first heard in Justice Court for initial appearance and filing of affidavit, and judges conduct jail court sessions three times each week to protect the right to an initial appearance within three days of arrest.

Bond can be set or changed after initial appearance. A person may be released after bond, remain on a no-bond hold, wait for another agency, or later transfer to MDOC if sentenced to state prison. The jail can answer current custody and hold questions; the court or clerk answers filed-charge and case-status questions.

Directions to Jefferson Davis County Jail

Use the Prentiss route toward Columbia Avenue and confirm the visitor entrance before arrival. The jail and sheriff location is commonly published at 2330 Columbia Avenue, and Justice Court is officially listed at 2335 Columbia Avenue. That close geography matters because an arrest can move from booking to initial appearance within the local court corridor.

Driving from U.S. 84, use the local Prentiss approach toward Columbia Avenue. Driving from MS-13, MS-35, MS-42, or MS-43, route toward central Prentiss and Columbia Avenue. No official parking map, transit route, or accessibility entry details were located, so confirm practical access with the jail.

Jefferson Davis County Jail Records

A jail record request may cover the jail docket, booking record, custody status, bond note, arresting agency, release or transfer status, and a booking photo if releasable. Mississippi's public-records framework supports access to government records unless an exemption applies. Investigative, juvenile, sealed, expunged, personal, victim, or security-sensitive information may be withheld.

MDOC, BOP, and ICE records are separate. Once a person leaves Jefferson Davis County Jail for state prison, federal custody, or immigration custody, the county jail may no longer have current status. Search the system that holds the person.
