Find Quitman County Jail Records

Quitman County inmate records are maintained through the local jail process, court filings, and state correctional systems rather than one single public screen. A Quitman County jail roster search starts with local custody status, then moves to booking records, court charges, state custody, or federal and immigration locators when needed. People who need to look up Quitman County inmates should separate a new county jail arrest from a sentenced state offender, because each record lives with a different office and may update on a different timeline.

Quitman County Jail Roster Finding

No official public Quitman County Jail online roster was located on the county website, a sheriff-hosted website, Mississippi DPS, or an official jail vendor portal during the research pass. That matters for custody checks. A commercial listing may repeat a jail address or claim to show a roster, but the official sources reviewed did not provide a county-run inmate search page, recent-booking list, booking-photo gallery, or sample inmate profile for the Quitman County Jail.

The practical route is therefore a fallback chain. Start with the Quitman County Sheriff's Office for current county jail custody. Then use a written public-record request when a paper trail is needed. If the person has been sentenced to Mississippi Department of Corrections custody, use the MDOC inmate search instead of the county jail. If a federal warrant, U.S. Marshals hold, or immigration detainer is involved, use the federal and ICE tools, because those systems do not work like a local jail roster.

The Quitman County directory shows local public offices, police departments, and MDOC probation and parole contacts that help identify the agency involved in an arrest. The directory screenshot places local arresting agencies and state correctional offices in one county context.

Use the directory as an agency-routing aid, not as proof that a person is in custody. Current custody still needs confirmation from the jail, court, MDOC, or the agency holding the person.


How to Use Quitman County Jail Records

Because there is no confirmed official web roster, the search is built around the sheriff's jail records desk and the facts needed to identify the right person. Have the full legal name ready. A date of birth, age, arrest date, arresting agency, charge, citation number, or warrant source can keep staff from confusing two people with similar names. Ask direct custody questions first, then ask what written record can be released.

  1. Call the Quitman County Sheriff's Office at 662-326-3131 and ask whether the person is currently held at the Quitman County Jail.
  2. Ask whether the person was released on bond, transferred to MDOC, moved to another county, taken to a hospital, or held for another agency.
  3. If the arrest was by Marks Police Department, Lambert Police Department, Mississippi Highway Patrol, or another agency, ask whether the person was booked into the county jail or released before booking.
  4. For proof, submit a written Mississippi Public Records Act request for the jail docket entry, booking sheet, charge list, bond information, release status, and booking photograph if maintained and releasable.
  5. If the person has a sentence or MDOC placement, search the MDOC inmate search by name or MDOC ID.
  6. For federal or immigration custody, search BOP or ICE systems rather than the Quitman County Jail.

Note: Paying a local bond may not release a person if MDOC, another county, federal court, or ICE has an active hold.


Quitman County Roster Search Fields

A normal online roster would have typed search boxes. Quitman County did not publish that kind of official roster in the sources reviewed, so the useful field list is the information to give the sheriff by phone, in person, or in a written records request. The more exact the identity facts are, the easier it is to separate current jail custody from a release, transfer, warrant hold, or court-only record.

What Quitman County Inmate Records Show

Quitman County does not publish an official inmate-profile screen, so the field inventory comes from Mississippi jail-docket law and the local request path. Mississippi Code section 19-25-63 describes the sheriff's jail docket as a record of the authority by which a person is received into jail, the person's name, the arrest and commitment date, the cause of imprisonment, release or discharge authority, and any transfer receipt when a person is sent to the penitentiary. Mississippi Code section 47-1-21 adds an alphabetical jail docket for county convicts with identity and sentence-related fields.

FieldWhat It Shows
NameThe person booked, committed, or held by the jail.
Age / DOBIdentity confirmation; age is named in the county-convict jail docket statute.
Sex / race or colorDocket identity fields described for county convict records.
Arrest dateDate of arrest and commitment under the sheriff jail-docket statute.
Booking or commitment authorityWarrant, mittimus, court order, or other legal authority placing the person in jail.
Issuing authorityThe court or officer tied to the warrant, mittimus, or order.
Charge / causeThe crime or other cause listed for imprisonment.
BondRelease amount or condition if recorded by the jail or court.
Release / dischargeHow long held, how released, discharge warrant, or state transfer receipt.
MugshotNot confirmed online for Quitman County; request a booking photograph if maintained and not exempt.

Booking data can change after court review. The jail may record an arrest charge, while the prosecutor later files a different charge in court. For charge status after filing, use the court clerk or MEC rather than treating the booking entry as the final case record.


Quitman County Custody Systems

Quitman County has both a local jail function and a state correctional facility inside county lines. They should not be merged. The Quitman County Jail in Marks is the local sheriff-operated custody point for arrestees, pretrial detainees, local holds, local sentences, and transfer staging. Quitman County CWC in Lambert is an MDOC Community Work Center for state offenders assigned to a work-center setting. A person can be physically in Quitman County and still be in state custody rather than county jail custody.

The MDOC contact page identifies statewide records, parole board, victim services, and central office channels for questions that are outside the sheriff's county jail role. The image fits the jail-records page because sentenced-person questions often shift from Quitman County Jail records to MDOC records after transfer.

Use MDOC for sentence time, facility assignment, jail credit, parole or ERS questions, and release-date specifics after state custody begins. Use the sheriff first for a new local arrest.

Quitman County Jail Facilities

The local map is small but easy to confuse. The Quitman County Jail is the county jail function connected to the sheriff in Marks. Quitman County CWC is a Mississippi Department of Corrections community work center in Lambert. The county directory also lists Marks Police Department and Lambert Police Department, but no official source described either city agency as operating a separate jail.

Quitman County Booking Records

Local booking details are not published by Quitman County, so the record request should stay narrow and fact based. A person arrested in Quitman County may be brought in by the sheriff's office, Marks Police Department, Lambert Police Department, Mississippi Highway Patrol, or another law-enforcement agency. Intake often includes identity checks, warrant checks, property inventory, medical or mental-health screening, fingerprints, a booking photo if the jail takes one, charge entry, and a holding or housing decision.

A new arrestee may be released quickly if a citation, preset bond, or court-approved release applies. Others remain in jail until an initial appearance or until a court reviews bond. Court routing depends on the charge. Justice court handles many lower-court matters and early proceedings, while felony prosecution moves toward circuit court and the Eleventh Circuit District Attorney. A jail booking record is not the same thing as the final court charge record, so compare jail data with the court record when accuracy matters.

Quitman County Visit Confirmation

No official Quitman County Jail visitation schedule, video vendor, visitor application, dress code, or lobby hour page was found. Call 662-326-3131 before traveling to ask whether visits are in person or video, whether the inmate must submit a visitor list, what photo ID is required, whether minors may visit, and whether court days or lockdowns change access. Do not rely on old directory pages or commercial jail sites for a current schedule.

The MDOC family and friends page is different. It applies to MDOC inmates, including people assigned to Quitman County CWC, and it describes the visitor application process started by the inmate. The image belongs in the state-custody portion of a Quitman County inmate records search, because family contact changes when a person moves from county jail to MDOC custody.

During MDOC reception and classification, visits are not allowed and calls may be limited. The inmate creates visitation and phone lists during that process, so the sheriff cannot set MDOC visiting approval.

Quitman County Mail and Money

Quitman County Jail did not publish an official mail format, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, phone vendor, call price, or video-visit provider in the sources reviewed. Call before mailing anything or sending funds. Ask whether the envelope must include the inmate's full name, booking number, housing unit, facility address, and a complete return address. Do not send cash, checks, stamps, cards with electronics, packages, or property unless jail staff confirms what is accepted.

The MDOC money-transfer page documents state channels for MDOC inmate banking, including Premier Services online and Western Union agent locations. The screenshot is relevant only after a person is in MDOC custody, such as at Quitman County CWC.
