Lookup Madison County Inmate Records

Madison County Jail Roster

The official Madison County current inmate listing is reached from the Madison County Detention Center page and opens on the current inmate listing. The roster is not a search form. It is a list-style HTML page for Madison County Detention Center custody. The inspected roster displayed a generation date of 06/18/26, a time of 06:00 PM, and an inmate count of 139. Those figures are body data from the roster snapshot, not a promised daily average or a fixed capacity figure.

The roster has no search box, no dropdown filters, no date picker, no export button, and no visible pagination controls. A reader browses the list, uses the browser's find function for a name, and clicks a listed inmate name to open the intake detail page. Because the public page has its own date and time stamp, the first check should be whether the roster snapshot is recent enough for the decision at hand. For release, bond, housing, or visit timing, Madison County Detention Center should be called directly at 601-855-0739.

The current listing covers people physically held in the Madison County jail, including bookings by Madison SO, Canton PD, Ridgeland PD, Madison PD, Gluckstadt PD, MDOC, park ranger entries, and other agencies when they lodge a person in the county facility. It does not replace the Mississippi Department of Corrections locator for sentenced prisoners, the BOP locator for federal prisoners, the ICE locator for immigration detention, or VINELink for custody notification.

Use Madison County Inmate Records

Madison County inmate records should be read as a chain of sources. Start with the sheriff-linked roster for current county jail custody, then move to other channels only when the person is not listed or when the question is about older records, sentenced custody, federal custody, immigration custody, or notification. The public roster is free and does not require login, but it is plain and may be easier to use on a desktop screen.

1. Open the sheriff detention page and choose the current inmate listing, or go directly to the Madison County current inmate listing.
2. Read the date, time, facility heading, and inmate count before relying on the list.
3. Use browser find to search a last name because the roster page itself has no search boxes.
4. Review the row fields, including inmate ID, date of birth, intake date, intake time, arresting agency, and first listed charge.
5. Click the inmate name to open the Madison County intake detail page.
6. On the profile, compare demographics, intake number, arresting agency, photo status, written bond, cash bond, and the charge, court, and bond table.
7. Call the Detention Center for current custody, cellblock visitation time, bond changes, holds, or release questions.

The sheriff also promotes the official Madison County Sheriff Dept app for iOS and Android. Store text reviewed in the research did not confirm an app-only inmate roster, warrant lookup, or records portal. Treat the app as an official sheriff communications and emergency-alert channel unless a future official source confirms a roster feature inside it.

Madison County Roster Fields

The Madison County roster fields are display fields, not search inputs. That point matters because many users expect a name-search portal. The page is closer to a live printed roster: it posts the current count, lists each row, and links the name to a public profile. The first charge shown on the list may not be the final court charge, so court records should be checked separately after the case is filed.

The roster screenshot from the current inmate listing shows the list format, count line, and row columns used for Madison County inmate records.

This image reinforces the main usability point: the public roster is browsed and clicked, not searched through a built-in query box.

Madison County Inmate Profile

Each linked Madison County inmate profile is an intake-detail page for one jail record. The inspected sample showed the Madison County Detention Center heading, the detention address at 2935 Highway 51 South in Canton, and Sheriff Randall Tucker. The profile then listed identity fields, intake fields, a photo area, bond fields, and a charge table. The sample photo area showed No Photo, which means a profile may have a photo-status area without a visible booking image.

The sample inmate detail page shows why the profile is useful after a row-level roster match.

The profile adds bond, court, intake, and photo-status fields that are not all visible in the list row.

Madison County Booking Records

A Madison County booking usually begins when a person arrested by the sheriff, a city police department, MDOC, or another agency is accepted at Madison County Detention Center. Intake creates the public jail record if the person remains in custody. The jail records identity, demographics, property, arresting agency, intake number, charge fields, court fields, and bond fields. The booking number format observed in the research begins with BK and digits, with detail-page suffixes such as a dash and sequence number.

The inmate handbook adds practical record context. Newly booked inmates enroll in the automated phone system. Calls are collect, and family members use Securus Technologies to set up an account. Personal property and personal clothing are stored until release, and money acquired at arrest is deposited to the canteen account. Medical, dental, and mental-health services are provided by QCHC, with request forms used except in emergencies. These facts do not turn the roster into a medical or property record, but they help explain why a booking profile can change as intake work continues.

Madison County Custody Channels

Not every inmate record is found in one place. Madison County inmate records should be checked by custody type, because the county jail, MDOC, federal agencies, ICE, and VINELink serve different purposes. A person can move from county jail to state custody after sentencing. A federal detainee may be held under a U.S. Marshals process. An immigration detainee may be outside Madison County even when a local arrest started the chain.

Madison County has an official U.S. Marshals intergovernmental agreement in the source set for the jail, and the agreement lists BOP and ICE as authorized agency users. Because that source is older, it is best used as a reason to verify federal or immigration holds, not as proof that a specific person is currently in a federal bed at the county jail.

State Federal ICE Records

For sentenced state prisoners, use the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search or the MS.gov inmate search path, not the Madison County roster. MDOC searches can use name or MDOC ID number. MDOC profiles may show MDOC ID, race, sex, date of birth, physical description, entry date, location, unit, location change date, sentence count, offense, county of conviction, sentence date, tentative release date, photo area, and victim-services links. Madison County CWC, Madison County Restitution Center, and Madison County Technical Violation Center are MDOC facilities at 140 Corrections Drive in Canton, so their residents are searched through MDOC.

Federal and immigration lookup are separate. The BOP inmate locator searches by register number, DCDC number, FBI number, INS number, or name fields. BOP results are identifying and custody records, not Madison County booking profiles. ICE detainee search uses the ICE Online Detainee Locator and requires either an A-number or name, country of birth, and birth date. Madison County is in the Southern District of Mississippi, Northern Division, and federal court context may run through the Jackson federal courthouse or the U.S. Marshals Service Southern District of Mississippi office.

Request Madison County Jail Records

If a person is no longer listed on the current roster, use the Madison County Sheriff's Records Division and the county public-records policy. The Records Division is responsible for safekeeping incident reports and arrest records, entering reports into computer records, filing hard copies of reports and arrests, and maintaining certain registrations and background-check duties. A request for an older booking record should identify the person, approximate date, arresting agency, inmate ID or booking number if known, and the record sought.

The Madison County public-records policy requires written, clear, concise requests directed to the governing authority or department head responsible for the records. The policy sets a seven-business-day written-response expectation. If records cannot be produced by the seventh working day, the county must explain in writing, and production generally should occur no later than 14 working days unless exceptions apply. Copy fees are $0.25 per page or actual cost, certified copies cost $3 for the first page and $1 for each added certified page, and search, review, or duplication work over 15 minutes may be charged at a cost-recovery rate.

Madison County Visitation Records

Madison County Detention Center visitation is tied to cellblock assignment. The sheriff detention page tells visitors to contact the jail in advance to determine the inmate's cellblock and the correct visitation time. The linked schedule PDF is effective August 3, 2004 and remains linked by the official sheriff site, so the exact schedule should be confirmed by phone before travel.

Madison County Jail Contact

Use the jail contact before sending money, mailing items, or arriving for a visit, because a roster match does not prove the person will still be housed there when the visit or deposit is processed. Money orders may be mailed to the inmate canteen account address, but cash and checks are not accepted for inmate-account deposits. Online deposits use commissarydeposit.com, and lobby kiosk funds are listed as available immediately.

Mail should include the inmate name and inmate number, Madison County Detention Center, 2935 Highway 51, Canton, MS 39046. Incoming mail is opened and inspected for contraband, legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence, and mail without an inmate number is returned to sender. Publications must be ordered from a publishing company.
