Technical Violation Center Overview
Madison County Technical Violation Center is listed by the Mississippi Department of Corrections at 140 Corrections Drive, Canton, MS 39046. The MDOC page identifies Shondra Matthews as Correctional Commander and lists telephone 601-859-7711. It is a state technical-violation facility, not a Madison County Sheriff's Department jail facility.
A technical violation is generally a supervision-rule violation rather than a new criminal charge, though the person's full history may include a prior arrest, sentence, probation, parole, or court order. That custody path is why the state locator matters. A person in Madison County Technical Violation Center may not appear on the Madison County Detention Center roster unless the person has a separate current county jail booking or hold.
Technical Violation Population
The research did not locate an official public capacity, admission count, current population number, or facility-specific daily roster for Madison County Technical Violation Center. MDOC's public page confirms the facility and contact details, but it does not provide a bed count or a current custody dashboard. For that reason, no capacity estimate is used here.
The person-level MDOC record is the practical status source. It may include current location, unit, location change date, entry date, offense, sentence fields, county of conviction, tentative release date, and victim services links. If the profile shows this facility, call 601-859-7711 before making a visit plan or mailing documents that depend on current placement.
Technical Violation Lookup
Search Madison County Technical Violation Center custody through the MDOC inmate locator. The locator can use first name, last name, or MDOC ID number. The alternate MS.gov search interface also uses name or ID-number criteria. Because names can be shared, match the record with DOB, MDOC ID, current location, county of conviction, and sentence fields.
| MDOC Search Field | How It Helps |
|---|---|
| First Name | Used with last name when no MDOC ID number is available. |
| Last Name | The main name field for technical-violation custody searches. |
| MDOC ID Number | The clearest state-custody identifier when known. |
| Search Criteria | The alternate MS.gov interface distinguishes name search from ID-number search. |
- Open the MDOC inmate search page.
- Use the MDOC ID number when available, or search by name.
- Check the location or unit field for Madison County Technical Violation Center.
- Review location change date and sentence fields for context.
- Call the facility at 601-859-7711 to confirm current placement and scheduling.
The county jail roster still has value for county custody questions. It covers Madison County Detention Center bookings, including arrests by the sheriff's office, Canton PD, Ridgeland PD, Madison PD, Gluckstadt PD, MDOC, park rangers, and other agencies. It should not be used as the main record source for technical-violation custody once MDOC placement is involved. Use Madison County jail inmate records for a separate current detention-center booking.
The MDOC Madison County Technical Violation Center page provides the verified facility listing and contact point.
The facility screenshot confirms the official MDOC page subject, while inmate search records must be pulled from the statewide locator.
Technical Violation Contact
Use the facility phone for location confirmation, approval questions, and visit timing. The source material did not include a local public email address, local lobby hours, or a facility-specific visit calendar. MDOC statewide rules provide the baseline, and the facility should be contacted for current restrictions.

Technical Violation Visits
MDOC visitation approval controls visits at Madison County Technical Violation Center. The inmate sends the application to the proposed visitor, and the visitor should confirm approval before traveling. MDOC's statewide rule allows each inmate a 10-person visitation list and limits visits to no more than five people including children and babies. Visitors age 18 or older need valid picture ID.
| Visit Item | MDOC Rule | Facility Confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Application begins with the inmate | Confirm the visitor is approved |
| List Size | 10 visitors per inmate | Ask whether the list is current |
| Visit Size | Five people at once including children | Ask about local restrictions |
| ID | Picture ID required for adults | Bring current valid ID |
| Schedule | No public local schedule found | Call 601-859-7711 |
Do not use the Madison County Detention Center's Monday through Friday cellblock schedule for this MDOC facility. The detention center is sheriff custody, while the technical violation center follows MDOC approval and local facility scheduling.
Technical Violation Mail
MDOC mail format should include the inmate name, MDOC number, housing unit, facility name, and 140 Corrections Drive address. Incoming and outgoing mail is searched. MDOC says incoming mail is generally photocopied rather than delivered as originals because of contraband concerns. Return addresses remain important for rejected or undeliverable mail.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Inmate name, MDOC number, housing unit, Madison County Technical Violation Center, 140 Corrections Drive, Canton, MS 39046 |
| Money Transfer | Premier Services online or 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 technical-violation-center-only deposit fee schedule was located in the public official sources. Family and friends should use MDOC's current statewide money and phone instructions, then check with the facility if the person's custody status limits service access.
Technical Violation Assignment
Technical-violation custody is not the same as a new county jail arrest. A person may enter this pathway after a supervision violation, court action, or MDOC process. The public MDOC record is more useful than a booking sheet because it can show current location, unit, location change date, sentence data, and county of conviction. If new criminal charges also exist, the court record and any county jail booking must be checked separately.

About Technical Violation Center
Madison County Technical Violation Center is one of three MDOC facilities listed in Madison County at 140 Corrections Drive. The other two are Madison County CWC and Madison County Restitution Center. The available official page is sparse, so the content should stay close to the verified facts: state operator, address, phone, facility type, MDOC search path, and statewide rules for visits, mail, money, and phone service.
Release notifications can be handled through MDOC SAVIN/VINE and Mississippi VINELink where appropriate. MDOC parolee search is separate from inmate search and can include MDOC ID, county, supervising officer, flat time date, and victim services links for public parolee records. Those tools do not replace a facility call when a visitor needs current approval or scheduling details. The Madison County inmate population overview keeps the jail, MDOC, federal, and notification paths separate.
Note: Confirm current placement and visit approval with Madison County Technical Violation Center before traveling.
