Washington County Jail Roster Status
No official Washington County Sheriff's Office online current-inmate roster was located. The county site has sheriff, courts, circuit clerk, prosecutor, forms, and directory pages, but the research did not find a public page for current inmates, released inmates, booking reports, mugshots, or a jail docket search. MDOC lists Washington County Regional Correctional Facility as a regional facility, but that MDOC page does not provide a county-level roster either.
That means Washington County inmate records work differently from counties with a vendor roster. Current custody should be confirmed by phone first. Historical custody should be requested from the agency that keeps the record. Sentenced state custody belongs in the MDOC locator. Federal and immigration custody are separate. This distinction is not a technicality. A person can be arrested in Washington County, appear in Justice Court, then later move to MDOC or another agency without ever appearing in a public county roster.
How to Check Washington County Inmates
The practical Washington County inmate record search starts with the local custody source. Have the person's full name, date of birth or age, arrest date, and arresting agency if known. Ask staff whether the person is physically held at the regional facility, recently released, transferred to MDOC, moved to another county, held on a warrant, or subject to a detainer.
- Call Washington County Regional Correctional Facility at 662-537-2000 for current custody at the regional facility.
- Call the Washington County Sheriff's Office at 662-334-4523 for jail docket or sheriff custody-record questions.
- Use Justice Court and Circuit Clerk contacts if the question is about first appearance, affidavits, indictments, motions, or case filings.
- Search MDOC inmate search after a state sentence or state transfer.
- Use VINELink Mississippi as a custody notification or cross-check channel, not as a substitute for the jail.
- Use BOP or ICE ODLS only when federal or immigration custody is part of the facts.
Washington County Search Fields
Because Washington County does not publish a public jail roster, there is no county roster search-field table to fill. The available public online search table is the MDOC inmate search for sentenced state offenders. Use it only after the case has moved into MDOC custody or when a person already has an MDOC ID. A fresh local booking may be known to the facility and court before it is known to MDOC.
The MDOC inmate search is the state locator shown in this screenshot, with name and MDOC ID fields for sentenced offenders.
The image is useful for Washington County searches because it shows the state tool that applies after transfer, not a county jail roster.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Optional if another field is used | Use with last name when MDOC ID is unknown. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional if another field is used | Spelling matters for state lookup. |
| MDOC ID Number | Text | Optional if name is used | Best exact match for state custody. |
| Search | Button | Not applicable | Runs the public MDOC query. |
What Washington County Records Show
The county's public roster fields could not be inspected because no official roster or sample booking profile was located. Mississippi's sheriff jail-docket statute gives the best local field inventory. When asking for Washington County inmate records, use these terms. They track the custody authority, the date a person was received, why the person was held, and how the person was released or transferred.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Prisoner name | The person received into jail or facility custody. |
| Warrant or mittimus | The writ, warrant, or order used to receive the person. |
| Issuing authority | The court or official behind the custody paper. |
| Date received | When the person entered custody. |
| Date of arrest or commitment | The timing tied to the arrest or court commitment. |
| Crime or other cause | The charge, warrant, hold, or other reason for confinement. |
| Release or discharge | How the person left custody or transferred. |
Washington County Jail vs MDOC
The county and state systems answer different questions. A local arrest, bond question, first appearance, or recent booking should be checked through Washington County Regional Correctional Facility, the sheriff, and local courts. A sentenced offender in state custody should be searched through MDOC. A federal inmate should be searched through BOP, and immigration detention should be searched through ICE ODLS.
| Custody | Where to Look | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Local or regional custody | Facility phone, sheriff, jail docket | No official Washington County roster was located. |
| First appearance or filed charges | Justice Court, Circuit Clerk, MEC, DA docket page | Court records start after arrest and booking. |
| Sentenced state offender | Mississippi Department of Corrections locator | MDOC handles state prison custody. |
| Federal inmate | Federal Bureau of Prisons locator | BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 forward. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE custody is separate from the county case. |
Washington County Jail Facilities
Washington County Regional Correctional Facility is the only detention facility confirmed by official corrections sources in the research. It is listed by MDOC as a Regional facility. The county sheriff page names Sheriff Milton M. Gaston and describes the sheriff's administrative duties as serving as county jailer and keeping the jail docket.

Washington County Booking Process
Washington County does not publish a step-by-step local booking policy, so the process should be described from official court and state sources. A person may be arrested by the sheriff, Greenville Police, another municipal agency, or a state or federal agency. Local custody then involves intake, jail docket entry, court review, and possible release, transfer, bond, detainer, or MDOC custody.
The county courts page provides the strongest local timing fact. All felony cases are first heard in Justice Court for initial appearance and affidavit filing, and Justice Court judges hold court sessions at the jail three times each week to protect the right to an initial appearance within three days of arrest. That means a new felony arrest may have jail and Justice Court details before there is a Circuit Court indictment.
Washington County Visit Rules
No Washington County-specific public visitation schedule was located for the regional facility. The facility should be called before travel. MDOC family and friends guidance says each inmate may have a ten-person visitation list, that the list is reviewed annually, and that immediate family members remain on the list unless removed by the inmate. Treat that as state or regional guidance, not as a posted Washington County visit schedule.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Rules Located |
|---|---|---|
| Washington County public visits | Not published online | Call 662-537-2000 and bring photo ID if staff approve a visit. |
| MDOC custody visitation | Facility-specific | Ten-person approved visitor list and annual review. |
| Attorney visits | Not published online | Arrange directly with the facility or court. |
Contacting Washington County Inmates
No Washington-specific mail, commissary, phone, or video vendor page was located. MDOC family guidance says general inmate mail must arrive in a legal or letter envelope, and the inmate decides whether to respond. Money for MDOC inmate banking can be sent online through Premier.Services or in person at Western Union agent locations. Phone prepaid support is listed through AdvancePay at 1-800-483-8314, with weekday and Saturday support hours in the research.
For a person in local or regional custody, do not send money, mail, books, packages, or property until staff confirm the person is held there and explain the current rules. A detainer, transfer, release, or state classification move can make a deposit or mailing attempt fail.
Requesting Washington County Booking Records
When the request is for a document, use the agency that created or maintains it. Ask the sheriff for jail docket or custody information. Ask Greenville Police Records for Greenville Police reports. Ask Justice Court, Circuit Clerk, MEC, or the DA docket page for court records. Ask MDOC through its written public-records route for MDOC records. Mississippi Public Records Act provisions allow access to nonexempt public records and permit reasonable actual-cost fees and redactions.
Note: Confirm custody with the facility before sending funds, planning a visit, or relying on a third-party search result.
