Find Washington County Facility Inmates

Washington County Facility Overview

MDOC's facility page identifies Washington County Regional Correctional Facility as a Regional facility in Greenville. The official page gives the facility name, street address, telephone number, and Billy Barber as interim warden. It does not describe a city police lockup or a separate county jail building. For content and search purposes, the facility is best treated as a Washington County regional correctional facility connected to Mississippi Department of Corrections regional-facility operations.

The facility can hold more than one type of custody record. Washington County arrestees may enter local jail custody after booking, while state offenders can be housed through the regional facility system. Mississippi law also allows MDOC to contract with county boards of supervisors and regional facilities for the housing, care, and control of state offenders. That matters for families because a local arrest record, a jail docket entry, a court case, and an MDOC inmate-search result may not appear in the same place or at the same time.

The official county sheriff page lists Milton M. Gaston as sheriff and says the sheriff's duties include serving as county jailer, keeping Mississippi Department Reports, and keeping a jail docket. No official Washington County page was found for a public current-inmate roster, public booking log, mugshot gallery, facility visitation schedule, or commissary page. That gap changes the search workflow. A Washington County inmate lookup starts with direct custody confirmation instead of an online name search.

The facility image comes from the official Washington County Regional Correctional Facility listing.

The listing is useful because it confirms the facility name, regional type, Greenville location, phone number, and interim warden without relying on a third-party jail directory.

Washington County Facility Population

The current MDOC facility page does not publish rated capacity for Washington County Regional Correctional Facility. It also does not publish a live daily population or average daily population for the facility. The best supported figures in the research are historical and data-set based, so they should not be read as today's head count. For live custody, use the facility phone line. For facility-scale context, use the dated figures with their sources.

Those figures show why capacity language must stay precise. The 2012 number is a point-in-time correctional population. The 2022 number is a quarter-end local-jail count for the Washington County Regional Correctional Facility jurisdiction. Neither one proves the number of people in custody today. A release, court order, MDOC transfer, federal hold, or another county hold can change a person's location before a public data set catches up.

Washington County Facility Lookup

No official online roster was located for Washington County Regional Correctional Facility or the Washington County Sheriff's Office. The county site has sheriff, courts, circuit clerk, county prosecutor, forms, and directory pages, but no current-inmates portal. MDOC lists the regional facility but does not provide a Washington County roster on that facility page. That means the custody search should move through a fallback chain, starting with local confirmation and then checking the correct state, victim-notification, federal, or immigration system.

1. Call Washington County Regional Correctional Facility at 662-537-2000 for current custody at the regional facility.
2. Call the Washington County Sheriff's Office at 662-334-4523 for sheriff jail-docket or custody-record questions.
3. Search the MDOC inmate search when the person may have been sentenced, classified, or transferred into state custody.
4. Use VINELink's Mississippi person search as a notification and cross-check channel, not as a substitute for the jail phone line.
5. Check the BOP Inmate Locator for federal custody and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.

Have the person's full legal name, date of birth or approximate age, arrest date, and arresting agency ready before calling. Ask whether the person is housed at the regional facility, released, transferred to MDOC, transferred to another county, held on a warrant, held for another agency, or subject to a detainer. A detainer is a hold request from another agency. It can affect release timing even when a local bond or court issue appears resolved.

Washington County Facility Contact

The facility phone number is the most direct public contact point for custody status, visit-rule confirmation, and local mail or deposit questions. The sheriff number is still relevant because the sheriff is the county jailer and the county page describes jail-docket duties. Court questions are different. A first appearance, affidavit, indictment, or criminal filing may need Justice Court or Circuit Clerk follow-up rather than a jail call.

For directions, use the facility address exactly as MDOC publishes it and confirm the route before leaving. The county and MDOC pages do not publish a visitor parking map, visitor entrance description, transit stop, or accessible-entry detail for this facility. If a visit depends on accessible parking, a child visitor, property drop-off, or a tight court deadline, call staff first and ask which entrance and screening rule applies that day.

Washington County Visitation Rules

No Washington County-specific public visitation schedule was located for Washington County Regional Correctional Facility. The safest researched statement is that visitors should call the facility before travel and follow MDOC family and friends guidance when the person is in MDOC custody. MDOC guidance says each inmate may complete a visitation list with ten visitors, the list is reviewed annually, and immediate family members remain on the list unless the inmate removes them.

Do not rely on a schedule from a third-party jail site unless the facility confirms it. A person may be in local pretrial custody, a regional-facility bed for MDOC, or another agency's hold, and those categories can affect visit approval. Government photo ID should be expected. Unneeded property should be left outside the secure area unless staff authorize it.

Washington County Mail Money

Washington County-specific mail, commissary, and phone vendor rules were not posted in the researched county pages. MDOC family and friends guidance supplies the state/regional baseline for MDOC custody. Under that guidance, inmate mail must arrive in a legal or letter envelope. Money can be sent online through Premier.Services or in person at Western Union agent locations. Prepaid phone account support is available through the AdvancePay automated system.

Before mailing a book, package, photo, money order, or legal material, call the facility. A package that is allowed in one custody setting may be refused in another. For state-custody records and public records held by MDOC, the research also identifies MDOC's public-records page, which says requests must be made in writing rather than by telephone.

Washington County Intake Path

A Washington County arrest does not always become an MDOC search result right away. The county courts page says felony cases are first heard in Justice Court for initial appearance and affidavit filing, and Justice Court judges have court sessions at the jail three times each week to help meet the initial-appearance timing requirement. That early stage is local. It may involve booking, custody review, bond, preliminary hearings, or filing activity before any state-prison placement occurs.

After conviction and sentence, a person may enter MDOC custody and be classified. MDOC's state intake guidance describes search, clean clothing, fingerprinting, picture ID, property inventory, and evaluations by classification, mental health, medical, and education staff. That later MDOC process is not the same as a street-arrest booking at the Washington County facility. It is a state custody step after a case has moved far enough for sentence or transfer.

Regional facility

A county or regional correctional facility used in the Mississippi corrections system, including for certain state offender housing.

Jail docket

A sheriff's custody record that tracks jail commitments, prisoners, charges or causes, and releases.

Detainer

A request or hold from another agency that can affect release even after the local case changes.

MDOC custody

State corrections custody, usually after sentence or transfer, searched through the MDOC inmate locator.

Washington County Facility Records

The county sheriff page and Mississippi jail-docket law make local records important when no public roster exists. Mississippi Code Section 19-25-63 requires sheriffs to keep a jail docket with warrant or commitment information, prisoner details, custody, charge or cause, and release details. That does not mean every field is posted online. It means the official custody record may exist with the agency even when the public must call, visit, or make a records request to learn what can be released.

For court-related follow-up, Justice Court is the local path for initial appearances and affidavit filing, while the Circuit Clerk receives and files indictments, motions, and related papers in Circuit or County Court criminal cases. For a deeper custody search workflow, the Washington County jail inmate records page separates facility custody checks from court filing checks and state or federal locator searches. Those systems overlap in real life, but each office keeps a different record.

About Washington County Facility

Washington County Regional Correctional Facility is the only detention facility in Washington County confirmed by an official corrections source in the research. MDOC lists it in the regional-facility context, not as a separate state prison category. No BOP prison, ICE detention center, or separate federal detention facility was located in Washington County. Greenville Police is an arresting agency, but no official city jail roster or public police holding-facility page was located.

Mississippi Code Section 47-5-931 includes Washington County among regional correctional facility contract locations and sets standards language for county-owned or leased facilities used for state offenders. For families, the practical result is a split record trail. Local custody starts with the facility and sheriff. State custody uses MDOC. Federal prison uses BOP. Immigration detention uses ICE ODLS. VINELink can help with notifications, but it does not replace the facility line for a live Washington County custody check.
