Search Quitman County Jail Custody

Quitman County Jail Overview

Quitman County Jail is tied to the Quitman County Sheriff's Office jail function in Marks. Official county sources list Sheriff Oliver Parker Jr. with the phone number 662-326-3131, while Mississippi DPS Crime Stoppers places the sheriff's office street location at 233 Chestnut Street, Marks, MS 38646. The jail should be treated as local county custody, not MDOC custody. It is the first place to check for a new arrest in Marks, Lambert, the unincorporated county, or another local arrest route that ends in county booking.

The jail serves a small Mississippi Delta county where the courthouse, county offices, and sheriff function are close together in the Marks government area. The county courthouse is listed at 220 Chestnut Street, and the sheriff street reference is on the same Chestnut Street corridor. Official sources did not publish a separate jail operations page, public lobby map, housing-unit chart, or online custody roster. That missing web roster changes the lookup workflow: calls, in-person confirmation, and written public-record requests carry more weight here than they do in counties with a vendor roster.

Quitman County Jail Contact

Use the sheriff's main number for current custody questions, booking status, bond instructions, public-record request routing, and transfer confirmation. Crime Stoppers is a tip line, not a normal custody-verification line. Before visiting or mailing anything, ask the jail staff which entrance, hours, property rules, and identification rules are in effect.

Look Up Quitman County Jail Inmates

No official Quitman County Jail online roster was located on the county website, a sheriff-hosted site, Mississippi DPS, or an official vendor portal. The correct county jail lookup path is therefore a fallback chain. Start by calling the sheriff's office, then use a written Mississippi Public Records Act request when a jail docket entry, booking sheet, charge list, release date, or booking photograph is needed in record form.

1. Call 662-326-3131 with the person's full legal name, date of birth or age, arrest date, arresting agency, and known charge.
2. Ask whether the person is in Quitman County Jail, released on bond, transferred to MDOC, held for another agency, or moved for medical or court reasons.
3. If the person was arrested by Marks Police Department, Lambert Police Department, or another agency, ask whether the person was booked into the county jail.
4. For written proof, request the jail docket entry, booking sheet, charge list, bond, release status, and booking photo if maintained and legally available.
5. If staff says the person is now in state custody, switch to the MDOC inmate search rather than continuing to search for a county roster profile.

VINELink is also available in Mississippi for custody and status notifications. It can help track changes after registration, but it should not be treated as a complete substitute for a direct Quitman County Jail custody check.

Who Quitman County Jail Holds

The jail population is local. People held at Quitman County Jail may include new arrestees, pretrial detainees waiting for bond or first appearance, people held on local warrants, local sentenced misdemeanants, and people staged for transfer after sentencing. Some people may also have holds from other counties, MDOC, federal court, or immigration authorities. A hold can prevent release even when a local bond has been posted.

The Mississippi DPS Crime Stoppers page for Quitman County provides the sheriff's street address in Marks and the local tip line.

Crime Stoppers is useful for address confirmation and tips, while ordinary jail status and booking-record questions should go to the sheriff's main number.

Visit Quitman County Jail

Official county sources did not publish a visitation schedule for Quitman County Jail. Do not assume walk-in visits, video visits, holiday visits, or a fixed day-of-week schedule. Call before traveling and ask whether the person must place visitors on a list, what photo ID is required, whether minors may enter, what dress rules apply, and whether court day, staffing, lockdown, or an emergency order has changed access.

Mail and Money at Quitman County Jail

Quitman County Jail did not have a published mail format, commissary vendor, money-deposit kiosk, online deposit service, phone vendor, or video-visit provider in the official sources reviewed. Use a confirmation-first approach. Before sending anything, ask whether the jail requires the inmate's full name, booking number, housing unit, return address, or a specific envelope format. Do not send cash, checks, stamps, personal property, or packages unless the jail confirms that the item is accepted.

Quitman County Jail Booking

Local booking details are not published, so the county jail process should be described narrowly. A person arrested in Quitman County may be brought to the sheriff booking point by the sheriff's office, Marks Police Department, Lambert Police Department, Mississippi Highway Patrol, or another agency. Intake usually includes identity confirmation, warrant checks, property inventory, medical or mental-health screening, fingerprints, a booking photograph if the jail takes one, charge entry, and temporary housing or release processing.

Release can happen quickly when a person qualifies for a citation, preset bond, personal recognizance release, or court-approved release. Others remain until an initial appearance, bond review, transfer, or case action. For bond, call the jail first and ask what court set the bond, where payment must be made, and whether a hold blocks release. Paying a local bond may not release someone who has an MDOC, federal, immigration, or out-of-county hold.

Quitman County Jail Records

Mississippi law requires sheriffs to keep jail docket records. Section 19-25-63 refers to a docket noting the warrant or mittimus by which a person is received, the prisoner's name, date of arrest and commitment, cause of imprisonment, authority for imprisonment, length held, release or discharge method, and transfer receipt when sent to the penitentiary. Section 47-1-21 covers an alphabetical docket for county convicts with identity and sentence-related fields.

A written public-record request should be specific. Ask for the jail docket entry, booking sheet, charge list, bond, release date, and booking photograph if maintained and legally available. Investigative reports, victim identifying information, juvenile records, sealed matters, and protected personal information may be withheld or redacted.

Quitman County Jail Capacity Data

No official source located during research published a current rated capacity, average daily population, housing-unit count, annual bookings total, or demographic breakdown for Quitman County Jail. The research specifically warns against importing conflicting commercial jail-directory capacity claims. The accurate position is that the county jail population and capacity figures were not published in official sources found during the research pass.
