Itawamba County Jail Overview
The Itawamba County Jail / Itawamba County Detention Center is operated by the Itawamba County Sheriff's Department. The official sheriff page uses several public-facing names for the same custody site, including Itawamba County Jail, Itawamba Jail, and Itawamba County Detention Center. The roster uses the detention-center name, while the county contact block uses jail language. Both refer to the county facility at 102 Joe Staub Road in Fulton.
The facility holds adult local custody rather than state-prison custody. That means new arrests, misdemeanor holds, felony pretrial cases, locally sentenced inmates, detainers, and transfer waits may appear in the county roster. Sheriff Mitch Nabors is the sheriff named on the county page, and John Ainsworth is listed as Jail Administrator. The sheriff page also lists the Sheriff's Office next door at 100 Joe Staub Road, which is important because administrative records and jail custody questions are nearby but not identical tasks.
Itawamba County Jail Population
The official sources inspected did not publish a rated bed capacity for the Itawamba County Jail / Itawamba County Detention Center. The public Tiger roster did show a point-in-time active custody count when inspected on June 18, 2026. That roster count is useful for current population awareness, but it is not the same as rated capacity, annual bookings, average daily population, or an overcrowding finding.
The roster also showed 6 people booked in the last 72 hours and 12 released in the last 72 hours during the research inspection. Those short-window tabs help explain why a facility count can shift fast. A person can be added after booking, removed after bond or release, or transferred after sentencing. Use the live roster for the current county jail picture and use MDOC for state custody after sentencing.
Search Itawamba County Jail Roster
The correct lookup tool for this county jail is the Itawamba County Detention Center Tiger roster. It is linked from the official sheriff page and is free to use. The public search has one last-name field and tabs for active roster, released last 72 hours, and booked last 72 hours. Each row can open a public inmate profile with booking and charge details.
- Open the active roster from the sheriff page or the direct Tiger roster link.
- Use the Last Name field when the list is long, but confirm identity by profile details.
- Check the booked-last-72-hours tab for very recent arrests and the released-last-72-hours tab for recent bond-outs or releases.
- Open the inmate profile to read booking date, arresting agency, scheduled release field, charge type, bond amount, fine amount, and the booking photo.
- If the person is absent, call Itawamba Jail at (662) 862-7300 and then check MDOC, BOP, ICE, or Mississippi VINE depending on the custody path.
The sample Tiger inmate profile inspected in the research shows the kind of booking fields that can appear after a profile is selected.
The profile screenshot ties the facility roster to booking photos, demographics, charge rows, and bond fields rather than only a name list.
Itawamba County Jail Contact
Use the jail phone for current custody, booking, release, property, visitation, and money questions. Use the Sheriff's Office administrative number during business hours for sheriff records, local background-check instructions, and office services. The county page does not publish a separate jail records unit form, so the safest sequence is jail phone first, sheriff administrative office second, and a written Mississippi Public Records Act request when an older record or copy is needed.

Visit Itawamba County Jail
The sheriff page did not publish an in-person visitation schedule, video visitation vendor, visit length, dress code, attorney-visit process, visitor entrance, or approved visitor list procedure. That does not mean visits are unavailable. It means visitors should call the jail before travel and should not rely on a copied schedule from another county or a third-party listing. Bring government photo ID, because the sheriff page specifically requires valid ID for in-person background-check services and jail visits commonly require identification.
| Topic | Itawamba County finding | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not published in official sources inspected | Call (662) 862-7300 before arrival. |
| Visitor ID | Separate visitation ID rule not published | Bring government photo ID. |
| Visitor parking or entrance | Not published in official sources inspected | Confirm entrance and parking by phone. |
| Video visitation | Not located in official sources | Ask the jail whether any video option is active. |
| Attorney visits | Not published in official sources inspected | Call the jail for current attorney access procedure. |

Booking at Itawamba County Jail
Official Itawamba County materials do not publish a full intake policy, but the roster profile confirms the key public booking fields. A local booking record can include booking number, booking date and time, arresting agency, scheduled release field, age, sex, physical descriptors, mugshot, charge description, charge type, bond amount, and fine amount. A new arrest may appear in the booked-last-72-hours tab after staff enter the booking into the Tiger system.
After booking, the court path depends on the charge and agency. Itawamba County Justice Court handles misdemeanor criminal cases, preliminary hearings, bonds, and warrants, with criminal court dates listed on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Felony matters may proceed to Circuit Court and the First Circuit District Attorney. Booking charges can change when prosecutors file, amend, reduce, dismiss, or indict charges, so custody records and court records should be read together.
- Booking
- The jail intake record created after arrest.
- Detainer
- A request from another agency to hold or transfer the person.
- Bond
- A court-set release condition that may not clear every hold.
- Transfer
- Movement from county custody to another agency, often after sentencing or on another hold.
About Itawamba County Jail
The jail and Sheriff's Office sit on Joe Staub Road in Fulton, separate from the courthouse at 201 West Main Street. That local geography matters. Custody, booking, roster, and commissary questions belong with the jail or Sheriff's Department. Felony court docket records are handled through the Circuit Clerk at the courthouse, and misdemeanor or preliminary matters may involve Justice Court. The county page also notes the sheriff's administrative duties, including the county jailor role and record-keeping responsibilities.
No official Itawamba County Jail program list, grievance policy, medical-request procedure, religious-service schedule, education program, work-release policy, or jail accreditation report was located in the research. The sheriff page does show detention staffing context and a jail administrator. State-prison programs, MDOC mail rules, and MDOC visiting approval rules apply only after a person is in state custody, not while the person remains in Itawamba County Jail.
Note: Confirm custody, visitation, mail, and deposit rules with the jail before traveling or sending money.
