Tishomingo County Jail Roster Overview
The official Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office website did not show a public current-inmates roster in a browser during the research review. That is the key fact for Tishomingo County inmate records. Many Mississippi counties publish a web roster, but this county's official material points instead to MobilePatrol, the jail phone line, MS SAVIN/VINELink, court channels, and state or federal locators. The detention page says correction officers book prisoners into and out of the facility and maintain inmate records, phone accounts, and commissary accounts.
For current local custody, the Tishomingo County Jail is the starting point. It is operated by the Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office and receives people booked after local arrests, warrants, bond holds, short local sentences, and other detention needs. The county roster path does not cover sentenced MDOC prisoners, BOP inmates, or ICE detainees. It also does not replace court records, which show formal filed charges after an arrest.
Important: Do not assume a missing web roster result means a person is not in Tishomingo County custody.
Use Tishomingo County Inmate Search Channels
Because the local roster is app-primary rather than browser-first, a good Tishomingo County inmate search uses a fallback chain. Start with the tool the sheriff names for real-time detention center information, then confirm with the detention desk when the question affects travel, bond, release, money deposits, or a court deadline.
- Open MobilePatrol through the Apple App Store or Google Play, then choose the Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office or Detention Center if listed.
- Search the app's detention center information. The sheriff says MobilePatrol provides real-time detention center information, active warrants, DHS Child Support Warrants, and FTA or FTP warrant listings.
- Call the Tishomingo County Jail at (662) 423-7000 when the app cannot verify custody, bond, booking date, release, transfer, phone access, or commissary status.
- Register or search through MS SAVIN/VINELink for release, transfer, or escape notices when the person appears in the participating data feed.
- Move to MDOC, BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE only when the person is no longer a county jail inmate or the arrest is tied to another authority.
- Use a written Mississippi Public Records Act request when a booking record, past custody record, or record copy is not available through public tools.
Tishomingo County Roster Search Fields
The MobilePatrol interface could not be inspected through the browser, so exact field names are not documented. The table below reflects the local fields and modules supported by the sheriff's own statements. It avoids making claims about booking numbers, housing units, mugshots, or charge fields that were not visible in a public county roster profile.
| Field or Module | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agency / location selection | App selection | Likely required | Choose Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office or the detention center if shown. |
| Inmate / detention search | App search | Unspecified | Real-time detention center information is advertised by the sheriff, but labels are app-only. |
| Active warrants | App module | Unspecified | MobilePatrol includes active warrants and DHS Child Support Warrants for this sheriff channel. |
| FTA / FTP listings | App module | Unspecified | The sheriff warrants page names failure-to-appear and failure-to-pay listings. |
Sentenced state prisoners use a different field set. The MS.gov MDOC search interface allows name or ID Number search criteria with First Name, Last Name, and MDOC ID Number fields. MDOC IDs are not county booking numbers.
Tishomingo County Inmate Profile Details
A county inmate profile was not available for browser inspection, so the field inventory should be framed as a records-request and custody-confirmation inventory. The sheriff detention page confirms that jail staff maintain inmate records, phone accounts, and commissary accounts. For current custody, ask the jail for the specific point needed rather than assuming a public profile contains it.
| Field or Record | What It Shows or Requires |
|---|---|
| Custody status | Whether the person is currently held, released, transferred, or not found in local custody. |
| Booking date | The intake date or date range that helps staff locate the jail record. |
| Arresting agency | The agency that brought the person to jail, when included in the record. |
| Charges | Booking allegations or warrant basis; formal court charges may differ later. |
| Bond or hold | Local bond status and whether another agency hold may block release. |
| Phone or commissary account | Operational account questions handled by detention staff or the vendor. |
Tishomingo County Jail Records Contact
The detention office is the practical local records point because the sheriff site says correction officers maintain inmate records and booking activity. Sheriff Jamie Stuart is identified on the county government sheriff page. The sheriff detention page lists Jason Blakney as Jail Administrator and Ricky Barnett as Assistant Jail Administrator. For a custody question, ask for the jail or detention desk rather than a court clerk.
Tishomingo County Jail
1208 Betty Dale Dr.
Iuka, MS 38852
(662) 423-7000
24-hour phone line; administrative office hours Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Use the jail phone for current custody, booking, bond, release, transfer, phone, or commissary questions. Use the court clerk for filed criminal cases, court dates, indictments, motions, and dispositions.
Tishomingo County Booking Process
The local booking process begins when a sheriff deputy, municipal officer, state officer, or other agency brings a person to the Tishomingo County Jail for detention. The detention page does not publish a full intake timeline, but it does state that correction officers book all prisoners in and out. Intake is where the jail record starts and where phone and commissary setup can begin.
The sheriff page says all inmates are entitled to one free phone call at booking. Later phone use is through cell-block day-room phones, and those calls are collect only. A person may remain in the jail, post bond, be held for another agency, be moved to court, or transfer to MDOC, federal, or immigration custody depending on the case. Booking charges should be checked against court records because prosecutors can amend or replace charges after review.
Questions about booking photos are handled separately on the Tishomingo County jail mugshots page because no browser mugshot roster was confirmed.
Tishomingo County Jail Visitation Records
Visitation rules are tied to the jail, not to MDOC or court records. The sheriff detention page says in-house visits require calling on Friday to schedule a Saturday visit. It also says visits have strict time limits and visitors should arrive a few minutes early to sign in. The same page still carries a March 12, 2020 notice suspending visitation and clergy visits and recommending video visitation, so current status must be confirmed before travel.
| Visit Type | Scheduling | Time / Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-house visit | Call (662) 423-7000 on Fridays | Friday scheduling 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday visits 10 a.m.-6 p.m. | Strict time limit; arrive early to sign in. |
| Clergy visit | Confirm by phone | Suspension notice still appears on page | Do not assume it is active without calling. |
| Video visit | City Tele Coin | Remote or mobile service | Recommended by sheriff page when in-person visits are suspended. |
Contact Tishomingo County Inmates
Mail for a person in the county jail should be addressed to Tishomingo County Jail, Inmate's Name, 1208 Bettydale Drive, Iuka, MS 38852. Incoming mail is opened and checked for contraband. A full return name and address are required. Attorney mail and court documents are opened in the inmate's presence, while packages, obscene material, gang material, and escape material are not allowed.
Phone access starts with one free booking call. Other calls are placed from day-room phones and are collect only. The phones are turned off at 10:30 p.m. and turned on again at 5:00 a.m. City Tele Coin is the communications and video vendor linked by the sheriff page.
| Service | Provider or Rule | Record Point |
|---|---|---|
| Booking call | Jail phone | One free call at booking. |
| Day-room phone | Jail phones | Collect calls only; off overnight. |
| Video / messaging | City Tele Coin | Subject to facility rules and monitoring. |
Tishomingo County Commissary Records
Commissary and money records are part of the jail's operational record system. The sheriff page says inmates may receive funds through the Tiger Commissary Reverse ATM in the lobby or through the online Tiger Commissary site. Fees are vendor fees, not sheriff-set fees. Confirm that the person is still housed at the Tishomingo County Jail before depositing money.
The Tiger Commissary Tishomingo page shows the county-specific deposit and commissary service path.
That vendor page is useful only after custody is verified. If a person has been released, transferred, or booked under a different name spelling, call the jail before using the payment screen.
| Deposit Method | Vendor / Location | Fee Note |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby Reverse ATM | Tiger Commissary ATM at the facility | $2.50 cash fee; 10% debit or credit charge. |
| Online deposit | Tiger Commissary website | 10% online surcharge. |
| Commissary order | Tiger Commissary | Vendor service for inmate commissary ordering. |
State and Federal Inmate Records
A person who leaves Tishomingo County Jail for state prison should be searched through MDOC, not the county jail. MDOC records can involve facility placement, time, jail credit, release eligibility, and parole-related questions. The MDOC Records Department is a separate state records office, so a county jail booking number is not the same as an MDOC ID Number.
| Custody | Search Channel | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | MobilePatrol, jail phone, MS SAVIN/VINE | Current Tishomingo County booking and local jail status. |
| State prison | MDOC inmate search | Sentenced Mississippi prisoners. |
| Federal prison | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | A-number or biographical search for ICE detainees. |
Federal pretrial detainees may be under U.S. Marshals authority before a BOP placement appears. Tishomingo County is in northern Mississippi for federal district purposes, so federal custody may not show in local county records.
Request Tishomingo County Jail Records
When no app result or phone confirmation is enough, use a written Mississippi Public Records Act request. The sheriff's warrants page confirms that MobilePatrol is part of the local detention and warrant access path, while the Mississippi Ethics Commission explains that public records are open unless an exemption applies. For jail records, a clear request should include the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, booking or arrest date, arresting agency if known, and the exact records requested.
A request can seek booking information, custody dates, release or transfer information, and other jail records that are not exempt. It should not ask the sheriff to interpret court outcomes, provide legal advice, or confirm sealed material. For formal charges, case numbers, next court dates, indictments, motions, or dispositions, contact the Circuit Clerk, Justice Court, First Circuit Court, or MEC instead. Court charges after arrest are covered on the Tishomingo County court records after jail arrest page.
Phone confirmation and a written request answer different needs. The phone line is best for same-day custody checks, visit planning, bond questions, and whether a deposit or call setup makes sense. A written request is better when a released person's booking record, a date range, a copy of a jail record, or a booking-photo request needs a trackable paper trail. Keep the request narrow. Ask for the record type, not every file connected to the person, unless a broad request is truly needed.
| Need | Best First Step | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Current custody | MobilePatrol and jail phone | Status can change faster than written records are processed. |
| Released booking record | Written public-records request | The person may no longer appear in app-based custody tools. |
| Formal charges | Circuit Clerk, Justice Court, or MEC | Court filings can differ from the jail booking charge. |
