Madison Restitution Center Overview
Madison County Restitution Center is listed by the Mississippi Department of Corrections at 140 Corrections Drive, Canton, MS 39046. MDOC identifies Shondra Matthews as Major for the facility. The phone number is 601-859-7711. The MDOC facilities map places it under the restitution-center category, which means it should be treated as a state corrections placement rather than a county jail booking location.
Restitution-center participants are in MDOC custody or under MDOC-related placement rules. The facility is at the same Corrections Drive address used by Madison County CWC and Madison County Technical Violation Center. For search purposes, the important point is that the Madison County current inmate listing is not the primary tool for this facility. The state locator, MDOC parolee search where appropriate, and VINELink/SAVIN for release notification are the relevant channels.
Madison Restitution Population
No official public capacity, current population count, or facility-specific daily roster was located for Madison County Restitution Center. The individual MDOC page confirms the address and phone, but it does not publish bed capacity or a current count. The Madison County jail's 526 to 528 bed capacity and the 139-person June 18, 2026 roster snapshot do not apply to this MDOC restitution center.
Use the MDOC profile for person-specific status. It may show location, unit, location change date, entry date, total sentence length, county of conviction, offense titles, sentence dates, tentative release date, a photo area, and victim services links. Those fields provide a better public status picture than a missing facility-level population total.
Madison Restitution Lookup
The right search tool is the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate locator. Search by MDOC ID if the number is known. If not, search by first and last name, then compare date of birth, location, sentence, and county of conviction fields. The MS.gov alternate interface also supports name or ID-number search criteria.
| MDOC Search Field | How It Helps |
|---|---|
| First Name | Pairs with last name for a name search when the state number is not available. |
| Last Name | The key name field to start a restitution-center search. |
| MDOC ID Number | Best for avoiding name matches that belong to another person. |
| Search Criteria | The MS.gov version separates name searches from ID-number searches. |
- Open the MDOC inmate locator.
- Search by MDOC ID number, or use first and last name.
- Open the matching profile and review the current location or unit.
- Use MDOC parolee search if the person may already be under community supervision.
- Call 601-859-7711 to confirm facility-specific status before sending visitors or funds.
Do not treat the county jail roster as a restitution-center roster. The county roster covers current detention-center custody, including pretrial detainees, sentenced county inmates, holds, and federal detainees when accepted. A restitution-center assignment is part of the state corrections pathway. A person may appear in both systems at different times, but the systems answer different questions. Use Madison County jail inmate records only for a separate current local jail booking.
The MDOC Madison County Restitution Center page is the facility-specific source for this state placement.
The screenshot supports the facility identity and contact route, while the MDOC locator remains the person-search tool.
Madison Restitution Contact
Use the facility number for approval, schedule, and current-placement questions. The research did not locate a separate local public email address, lobby schedule, or restitution-center-specific visitation calendar. Statewide MDOC pages set the general rules, and the Canton facility should be contacted for local timing before anyone travels.

Madison Restitution Visits
MDOC visitation approval rules apply. The inmate starts the application by sending it to the proposed visitor. The visitor should not travel until approval is confirmed. Each inmate may have a 10-person visitation list, and no more than five visitors, including children and babies, may visit at once. Visitors age 18 or older need valid picture ID. These are statewide MDOC rules, not Madison County Detention Center cellblock rules.
| Visit Item | MDOC Rule | Restitution Center Check |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Inmate sends application to visitor | Confirm approval before travel |
| Visitor List | 10-person list per inmate | Ask whether the list is active |
| Visitors at Once | Five people maximum including children | Confirm current local cap |
| ID | Valid picture ID for adults | Bring current ID |
| Schedule | Local schedule not found in public sources | Call 601-859-7711 |
Because no separate public schedule was found, the safest visit plan is approval first, phone confirmation second, travel third. If the inmate was recently transferred from county jail or another MDOC facility, ask whether the location field has been updated and whether the visit list moved with the person.
Madison Restitution Mail
Mail should follow MDOC format: inmate name, MDOC number, housing unit, facility name, and full address. MDOC says incoming and outgoing mail is searched, and incoming mail is generally photocopied because of contraband concerns. Include a return address. Avoid sending original personal documents unless the facility confirms the item is allowed and explains how it will be handled.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Inmate name, MDOC number, housing unit, Madison County Restitution Center, 140 Corrections Drive, Canton, MS 39046 |
| Money Transfer | Premier Services online and Western Union in person under MDOC rules |
| Phone | ConnectNetwork through MDOC's phone service path |
| Messaging | ViaPath / Global Tel Link tablet messaging referenced by MDOC |
No restitution-center-specific money fee table was located. Use MDOC's current statewide money page for provider instructions and current limits, then verify with the facility if a restitution obligation, work status, or placement status affects what can be received.
Madison Restitution Assignment
A restitution-center placement is not the same event as jail booking. Booking occurs when a person is processed into a jail after arrest or transfer. A restitution placement occurs through MDOC-related custody or supervision pathways. The public MDOC fields most relevant to that assignment are location, unit, location change date, sentence date, sentence length, offense, and county of conviction. Those fields help distinguish a current state placement from a past Madison County arrest.
- Restitution Center
- An MDOC placement tied to restitution and work obligations.
- County of Conviction
- The court county tied to the sentence, which may or may not be Madison County.
- VINELink / SAVIN
- A notification service for custody or release changes, not a full case docket.
About Madison Restitution Center
Madison County Restitution Center sits within a cluster of MDOC-listed facilities at 140 Corrections Drive in Canton. The research source set did not locate a separate program page, annual report, capacity report, or public roster for the restitution center. It did locate the official MDOC page, statewide MDOC locator rules, mail rules, money-transfer paths, phone provider path, parolee search, and SAVIN/VINE notification information.
That limited official detail should be preserved rather than filled with assumptions. The page can state that the facility is MDOC-operated, give the verified address and phone, explain the MDOC locator, and warn that county jail roster data does not cover restitution-center participants unless they also have a current local jail booking. It should not invent bed count, staff count, daily schedule, or work assignment rules. For the county-wide split between jail, MDOC, federal, and notification tools, use the Madison County inmate population overview.
