The Itawamba County Inmate Population
The Itawamba County inmate population reported in the public jail feed is the local adult custody population held at the Itawamba County Jail, also shown online as the Itawamba County Detention Center. The Itawamba County Sheriff's Department operates the jail, and Sheriff Mitch Nabors is the elected official named on the county sheriff page. The roster covers people in county custody, including pretrial detainees, locally sentenced inmates, agency holds, detainers, and people waiting on transfer. It does not cover every person with an Itawamba County case. A sentenced prisoner may move to the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search, and a federal or immigration detainee may fall under a separate federal locator.
Several events can change the Itawamba County inmate population during a week. A new arrest may add a person after booking, a bond order may lead to release, a detainer may keep someone in custody after one charge is resolved, and a sentence may move the person out of the county jail. The live roster is useful because it separates active custody from recent booking and recent release windows. The harder part is reading the count correctly. A point-in-time roster count is not the same as rated capacity, average daily population, or annual booking volume.
Itawamba County Inmate Population Statistics
The public sources located for Itawamba County give strong current roster counts but do not publish a full official jail-capacity report. The Tiger roster showed the active Itawamba County Detention Center count when inspected on June 18, 2026, and its recent-booking and recent-release tabs gave short-window movement data. The research also located an older correctional-population listing for the Itawamba County Jail from 2013. Those figures should be treated as published points from different sources, not as a clean annual trend series.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Active Itawamba County Detention Center roster count | 131 | Tiger active roster, inspected June 18, 2026 |
| Booked last 72 hours | 6 | Tiger recent-booking tab, inspected June 18, 2026 |
| Released last 72 hours | 12 | Tiger recent-release tab, inspected June 18, 2026 |
| Rated or bed capacity | Not published in official sources inspected | Sheriff page and roster did not state capacity |
| Mississippi incarceration rate context | 1,020 per 100,000 people | Prison Policy Initiative Mississippi profile |
Itawamba County Inmate Population Trends
Only a limited trend line was found for the Itawamba County inmate population. The older correctional-population listing from Prisoners of the Census showed an Itawamba County Jail count from December 31, 2013. The live Tiger roster count from June 18, 2026 was much higher, but the two sources measure different things and should not be described as a formal average daily population increase. They still help show why a current roster should be checked directly before making decisions about custody, bond, visits, or court timing.
| Date | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 12/31/2013 | 27 | Prisoners of the Census listed "Itawamba Co. Jail" local correctional population. |
| 06/18/2026 | 131 | Active Tiger roster count for the Itawamba County Detention Center. |
| 06/18/2026 | 6 | Booked-last-72-hours count in the Tiger roster. |
| 06/18/2026 | 12 | Released-last-72-hours count in the Tiger roster. |
The Vera Mississippi incarceration trends source adds statewide context. Mississippi jail and prison populations have changed sharply over time, and Vera reported that pretrial detention made up 55 percent of the state's jail population in 2015. That statewide share is not an Itawamba County breakdown, but it explains why local jail counts often move with bond, warrant, and first-appearance decisions rather than only with convictions.
Itawamba County Inmate Population Makeup
The Itawamba County active roster exposes enough information to confirm that the public list includes male and female inmates and shows age on each row. The research pass did not calculate demographic totals because the roster changes and no official county demographic report was located. Sample inmate profiles show age, sex, height, weight, race, hair, eyes, and glasses fields, along with charge and bond information. Those fields describe one public profile at a time. They do not produce a verified countywide race, sex, charge-level, or pretrial share by themselves.
- Pretrial and sentenced mix - The facility holds pretrial detainees, locally sentenced inmates, holds, detainers, and people awaiting transfer.
- Male and female custody - The active roster list displayed both male and female inmates in the public rows inspected.
- Age range - Displayed roster rows included adults from 19 to 65, but no official age summary was found.
- State and federal custody - Sentenced state prisoners, BOP inmates, and ICE detainees must be checked outside the county roster unless housed locally on a hold.
Itawamba County Jail Capacity
A rated bed capacity for the Itawamba County Jail was not located in the official sources reviewed. The sheriff page gives the jail address, phone, roster link, and jail staff context, but it does not state a bed count, housing-unit layout, construction year, or accreditation status. No official Itawamba County Jail construction plan, consent decree, DOJ investigation, death-in-custody report, or overcrowding lawsuit was found in the research. That absence should be handled plainly. The active roster count is a custody count, not proof of overcrowding by itself.
Capacity caution: Use the published roster count for current custody, but do not treat it as rated capacity or average daily population.
Laws Governing Itawamba County Inmates
Mississippi law supplies the public-record baseline for jail records, but it does not make every law-enforcement detail public in every circumstance. The Mississippi Public Records Act makes public records available for inspection unless an exemption applies, and the same Act allows public bodies to set procedures and charge actual costs for search, review, and duplication. Juvenile records, sealed records, expunged cases, investigative material, and some law-enforcement records may be withheld or limited.
Key Statutes:
Miss. Code Ann. 25-61-1 et seq. - Mississippi public records are available unless a statute or exemption limits release.
Miss. Code Ann. 25-61-5 and 25-61-7 - Public bodies may set request procedures and charge actual costs for search, review, and copies.
Miss. Code Ann. 19-25-71 - The Ethics Commission cites this section for the sheriff's county jailer role.
County Jail Officers Training Program - Mississippi DPS describes state training standards for county jail officers.
Itawamba County State Prison Lookup
No Mississippi state prison was located inside Itawamba County. MDOC lists an Itawamba Probation and Parole Office in Fulton, but that office is a supervision office, not a detention facility. After a felony sentence, an Itawamba County defendant may leave the county jail and enter MDOC custody for reception, classification, and prison assignment. At that point, the county roster may no longer be the right place to search. Use the MDOC inmate search for sentenced state prisoners and use the county jail roster for active local jail custody.
| Custody type | Search system | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Itawamba County Detention Center Tiger roster | Current local jail custody, recent bookings, and recent releases. |
| State prison | Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search | Sentenced state prisoners and MDOC custody records. |
| Federal prison | Federal Bureau of Prisons locator | Federal sentenced inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Adults in ICE custody and some CBP custody after 48 hours. |
Search the Itawamba County Inmate Population
The official county path begins with the sheriff page, which links to the Itawamba County Detention Center Jail Inmate Roster. The roster is hosted through Tiger Correctional Services and is free to use with no login. It has an active roster tab, a recently released tab, and a recently booked tab. A last-name field filters the list, and each row can open a public inmate profile.
The roster itself warns that the information is provided as a public service, that reasonable effort is made to assure accuracy, and that no guarantee is made. That warning matters when bond, release, or court dates are involved. Use the roster for a first custody check, then call Itawamba Jail if the status affects travel, bond, money deposits, or a court deadline.
- Open the Tiger active roster from the sheriff page or direct roster URL.
- Choose active custody, recently booked, or recently released based on the custody window.
- Type the last name if the list is long, then compare age and gender before opening a profile.
- Select the inmate profile to read booking date, arresting agency, demographics, charges, bond, and fine fields.
- If the person is not listed, call the jail, check the release and booking tabs, then search MDOC, BOP, ICE, or Mississippi VINE as the custody path requires.
Itawamba County Roster Lookup Fields
The Tiger roster is simpler than many statewide tools. It does not require a date of birth, booking number, or account login from the public search page. The visible filter is a last-name text field, with links that change the custody window. The recent-booking and recent-release tabs are important because a new arrest or a recent bond-out can be missed if only the active roster is checked.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Single visible roster search field. It filters the list by surname. |
| View Active Roster | Tab or link | No | Shows current active custody list. |
| Recently Released | Tab or link | No | Shows inmates released in the last 72 hours. |
| Recently Booked | Tab or link | No | Shows inmates booked in the last 72 hours. |
| Select Inmate | Profile link | No | Opens a public profile with mugshot, booking, charge, and bond fields. |

Past Itawamba County Inmate Records
Past inmate records in Itawamba County require a different path depending on how old the booking is. The Tiger roster has a recently released tab for the last 72 hours, which is useful when a person has just bonded out or completed a short hold. Older jail booking records, older mugshots, incident reports, and local background checks are not exposed through a long public archive in the research materials. For those, use the sheriff's office during business hours or a Mississippi Public Records Act request to the record-holding agency.
The sheriff page lists local background checks as an in-person service. County residents pay no fee, non-county residents pay $5 cash, and requests require valid ID. Fingerprints cost $10, and accident or incident reports are listed at $20 for non-residents. Those fees are not the same as a full jail-record request fee under the Public Records Act, where actual search, review, and duplication costs may apply.
Itawamba County Inmate Record Fields
A sample Tiger profile inspected in the research showed a booking image and a two-part layout. The top profile area identifies the person and booking event. The charge table then lists charge description, charge type, bond amount, and fine amount. A $0.00 bond field should not be read as automatic release. The sample profile used hold and detainer language, which can mean another agency or court must clear custody before release.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Full name on the profile, with list formatting by last and first name. |
| Mugshot or inmate picture | Public booking image shown on the profile. |
| Booking # | Numeric booking identifier in the inspected sample. |
| Booking Date | Date and time of booking down to seconds. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency responsible for the arrest or hold. |
| Schedule Release Date | Scheduled release if available, with N/A possible. |
| Charge Information | Description, charge type, bond amount, and fine amount by charge row. |
State and Federal Inmate Search
When the Itawamba County jail roster does not show a person, the next step depends on custody type. A sentenced Mississippi prisoner should be searched in the MDOC locator by first name, last name, or MDOC ID. A federal sentenced inmate should be searched in the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, which covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. Immigration custody belongs in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, where USAGov says a search can use an A-number or name, country of birth, and birth date.
Mississippi VINE is also available for custody status and notification registration. It is not a substitute for the jail roster or a court docket, but it can help users track changes after an arrest or transfer. Use Mississippi VINE when a custody notification matters, and confirm urgent release or bond questions with the jail directly.
Itawamba County Detention Facilities
The facility map found one detention facility physically in Itawamba County that needs a local facility page. The county jail is the main public roster source and the place to call for current custody status. MDOC's Fulton probation and parole office is not a detention facility, and no separate city jail roster, state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or regional correctional facility was located in the county research.
- Itawamba County Jail / Itawamba County Detention Center - Adult county detention facility for pretrial detainees, local sentences, holds, detainers, and people awaiting transfer.

How large is the Itawamba County inmate population?
