The Tishomingo County Inmate Population
The local detention map for Tishomingo County is narrow. Official county and sheriff sources identify one county detention facility in Iuka: the Tishomingo County Jail detention page, operated by the Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office. The county government sheriff page identifies Sheriff Jamie Stuart. The jail is the local booking point for people arrested by sheriff deputies, city police, state officers, and other agencies when detention is needed. The sheriff page says correction officers book prisoners in and out, maintain inmate records, manage phone and commissary accounts, and protect jail safety.
The Tishomingo County inmate population should not be read as one single online list. Current local custody belongs to the county jail. Sentenced state prisoners move to the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search. Federal inmates are searched through BOP or U.S. Marshals channels, and immigration detainees use ICE. No official source located a separate city jail roster, state prison, federal prison, ICE facility, work-release center, or regional correctional facility inside the county.
Tishomingo County Inmate Population Statistics
Local population data are limited in the official record. The sheriff and county pages reviewed for the build did not publish a current average daily jail population, a current booking count, or a rated bed capacity. The strongest facility-specific number in the research is historical: the Prison Policy Initiative correctional-population table for Census 2020 lists Tishomingo County Jail with 86 people on December 31, 2013. That figure is useful as a dated custody count. It is not a current count, not a bed rating, and not proof of crowding.
County population context is available through the Census QuickFacts page for Tishomingo County, which lists a July 1, 2025 estimate of 18,553 people and a 2020 Census count of 18,850. Those county-wide figures help place the jail in a small-county setting, but they do not answer who is in custody today. For a current Tishomingo County inmate population list, use MobilePatrol, the jail phone line, MS SAVIN/VINE, or a written public-records request.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| County jail rated capacity | Not published in sources located | Sheriff, county, and MDOC review, 2026 |
| County jail historical population | 86 people | Prison Policy Initiative table, 12/31/2013 |
| Current average daily population | Not published in sources located | Sheriff and county review, 2026 |
| County population estimate | 18,553 | Census QuickFacts, July 1, 2025 estimate |
Tishomingo County Inmate Population Trends
No official multi-year jail population series was located for Tishomingo County. That means the Tishomingo County inmate population cannot be described as rising, falling, crowded, or below capacity from local data alone. The proper treatment is more careful: one dated jail count exists, while current average daily population, annual bookings, and current bed capacity were not found in the sheriff, county, or MDOC sources reviewed.
Statewide jail trends may explain why many Mississippi county jail populations include a large pretrial share, but those statewide numbers are not Tishomingo-specific. Vera's Mississippi trend material, cited in the research, describes statewide jail and prison patterns and pretrial context. Use it as background only. Local custody questions still return to the county jail, MobilePatrol, and official records.
| Date or Period | Jail Population / ADP | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 12/31/2013 | 86 | Dated PPI local facility count for Tishomingo County Jail. |
| 2020 Census | Not published for jail | County population was 18,850, but no current jail ADP was located. |
| 2024-2026 review | Not located | No official current ADP, booking report, or capacity report found. |
Tishomingo County Jail Population Makeup
The sheriff detention page supports a practical definition of the Tishomingo County jail population. It includes people booked into the county jail after arrest, people awaiting bond, people held on warrants, short-term local sentences, and people held while another agency or court issue is resolved. Research did not locate a local breakdown by sex, age, race, felony level, misdemeanor level, or pretrial status. Those categories should not be guessed.
Several custody labels matter for searches. A person who is still in the county jail is handled by the Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office and detention staff. A person who has been sentenced to state prison belongs in MDOC records, even if the case started in Tishomingo County. A person under federal authority may be in U.S. Marshals custody before BOP placement. An immigration hold or detention question belongs in the ICE locator path. Those boundaries prevent false negative searches.
- Booking
- The jail intake event after arrest, when the local inmate record begins.
- Detainer
- A hold from another court, agency, state, parole office, or immigration authority.
- PR Bond
- Release on a promise to appear when a court allows it.
- MDOC
- The Mississippi Department of Corrections, used for sentenced state custody.
Laws for Tishomingo County Inmate Records
Mississippi law supports access to jail and booking records, but it does not require every county to publish a browser roster. The Mississippi Ethics Commission Public Records Act page explains Title 25, Chapter 61, which treats public records as available for inspection unless an exemption applies. That is the legal base for written requests when MobilePatrol, VINE, or a phone call does not answer a records question.
Key access rules:
Mississippi Public Records Act, Title 25, Chapter 61 gives the public a right to inspect and copy public records unless a statute protects them.
Mississippi Code Section 47-1-21 requires a sheriff jail docket, which supports the existence of county booking and custody records even without a web roster.
Mississippi DPS jail officer standards cover training duties for county jail officers who handle custody and safety.
Public access still has limits. Juvenile records, sealed or expunged records, active investigation material, medical details, and some victim or witness information may be withheld or redacted. A request should name the person, date range, arresting agency if known, and the record sought. Narrow requests are easier for a jail or clerk to process.
Search the Tishomingo County Inmate Population
A Tishomingo County inmate search should start with the local path because no public browser roster was found on the sheriff website. The sheriff warrants page says MobilePatrol gives users real-time detention center information, active warrants, DHS Child Support Warrants, and FTA or FTP listings. The sheriff public information page also connects local alerts with MobilePatrol. For urgent custody status, the jail phone line is still the direct channel.
- Check MobilePatrol and select the Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office or Detention Center agency if it appears in the app.
- Call the jail at (662) 423-7000 and ask for current custody, booking, bond, release, or transfer information.
- Use Mississippi VINE resources for release, transfer, escape, or status notifications when the person is listed.
- Search MDOC if the person was sentenced to prison or moved from county jail to state custody.
- Use BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels if the arrest or hold is federal or immigration related.
- Submit a written Mississippi Public Records Act request when a jail record or booking photo is not posted.
For a narrower roster walkthrough, the Tishomingo County jail inmate records page separates current jail custody from state, federal, and court records.
Tishomingo County Roster Search Fields
Because the county roster channel is app-primary, the exact MobilePatrol search labels could not be inspected in a browser. That limitation matters. A page that claims a public web form has last-name, first-name, booking-number, and facility fields would not match the research. The documented fields below are the fields or modules supported by the research, with the app-only limits shown plainly.
| Field or Module | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agency / location selection | App selection | Likely required | Choose Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office or Detention Center if available. |
| Inmate / detention search | App search | Unspecified | Sheriff says real-time detention center information is available, but labels are app-only. |
| Active warrants | App module | Unspecified | Includes active warrants and DHS Child Support Warrants. |
| Notifications / alerts | App setting | Optional | Alerts can connect with sheriff public information channels. |
The MDOC locator has clearer browser fields. The MS.gov interface lets users search by name or ID number, with First Name, Last Name, and MDOC ID Number fields. MDOC is only for sentenced state custody, not the county booking desk.
Tishomingo County Inmate Record Details
No official public Tishomingo County roster profile was available for inspection, so the public field set should be described with care. The sheriff detention page confirms that correction officers maintain inmate records, phone accounts, and commissary accounts. The jail can be asked about current custody, booking date, bond status, release or transfer status, and phone or commissary issues. MobilePatrol may show more, but the app fields were not visible through the research process.
| Record Point | How to Treat It |
|---|---|
| Name and custody status | Confirm through MobilePatrol, the jail phone line, or VINE when available. |
| Booking date or release | Ask the detention desk or request a jail record if not shown in the app. |
| Charges | Booking charges may differ from the court charges filed later. |
| Bond | The judge normally sets bond on warrants; county bond does not clear outside holds. |
| Mugshot | Not confirmed in a browser roster; request under public-records procedures when needed. |
Tishomingo County Jail vs State Prison
The Tishomingo County inmate population changes systems when a case changes status. Local jail custody is run by the sheriff. State prison custody is run by MDOC. Federal and immigration custody follow separate federal tools. Searches often fail when those systems are mixed together.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | Use It For |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | MobilePatrol, jail phone, MS SAVIN/VINE | New arrests, warrants, local holds, short-term detention. |
| State prison | MDOC inmate search | Sentenced state prisoners and MDOC custody questions. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator or U.S. Marshals | Federal sentenced prisoners or federal pretrial custody. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Immigration detention by A-number or biographical details. |
Tishomingo County Detention Facilities
Only one official detention facility was identified inside Tishomingo County. People arrested in Iuka, Belmont, Burnsville, Tishomingo, Golden, or surrounding areas are generally routed through the county jail if a local detention stay is needed. Once a sentence, hold, or transfer changes custody, the search may leave the county facility and move to MDOC, BOP, USMS, or ICE.
- Tishomingo County Jail holds local county jail detainees, new bookings, people awaiting bond, warrant arrests, short-term sentences, and some holds.
The sheriff office and jail sit at the same Betty Dale Drive location in Iuka. The courthouse and Justice Court are on Battleground Drive, which matters for warrants, affidavits, bond orders, and court records after arrest.
MobilePatrol and Tishomingo County Notifications
MobilePatrol is a major local channel because the sheriff website did not publish a standard current-inmates page. The sheriff warrants page links the MobilePatrol iPhone app and the MobilePatrol Android app. The page says the app is free to users and provides information from the Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center.
MS SAVIN/VINE is a separate notification path, not the same as a full court or jail file. The sheriff public information material describes MS SAVIN as free and confidential, with status information by phone, internet, or email. It is useful for release, transfer, or escape notice when a person is in a participating state or county data feed.
Note: A MobilePatrol listing or VINE alert should still be checked with the jail before travel, bond payment, or commissary deposits.
Tishomingo County Jail Services
The sheriff detention page also explains several jail service rules. In-house visits require calling on Friday during the scheduling window for a Saturday visit. The same official page still carries a coronavirus suspension notice and recommends video visits, so the current in-person status should be confirmed first. Mail must include a full return name and address, and attorney mail or court documents are opened in the inmate's presence.
The sheriff page says all inmates receive one free phone call at booking. Other calls are made from day-room phones, are collect only, and phones are off overnight. Commissary and money deposits use Tiger Commissary in the lobby or online. The county's page states that Tiger sets the fees.
The Tiger Commissary Tishomingo service page is the vendor screen tied to the county jail deposit path.
Use the jail phone line to confirm that the person is still in Tishomingo County custody before sending money, because a release or transfer can make a deposit hard to fix.
Tishomingo County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Tishomingo County inmate population?
The current average daily jail population was not published in the official sources located. A historical PPI table lists 86 people at Tishomingo County Jail on December 31, 2013, but that figure is dated and should not be treated as current capacity or current ADP.
Where is the Tishomingo County jail roster?
No browser-accessible roster was found on the sheriff website. The sheriff's own material points users to MobilePatrol for real-time detention center information and to the jail phone line for direct custody questions.
Does MDOC show Tishomingo County jail inmates?
MDOC is for sentenced Mississippi state custody. It does not replace the county jail for new arrests, bond questions, local warrants, or short-term jail detention.
Can a released inmate record be requested?
Yes, if the record is not exempt or sealed. A written Mississippi Public Records Act request to the sheriff should include the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest or booking date, and the record type requested.
