Itawamba County Jail Roster Overview
The public jail roster for Itawamba County is the Tiger Correctional Services roster linked from the official Itawamba County Sheriff's Department page. The sheriff's page labels the link as the Itawamba County Detention Center Jail Inmate Roster, while local contact blocks also use the name Itawamba Jail. Both point to the same local custody setting: the Itawamba County Jail / Itawamba County Detention Center at 102 Joe Staub Road in Fulton. Sheriff Mitch Nabors leads the department, and John Ainsworth is listed as Jail Administrator.
The roster is free and does not require a login. It has separate tabs for active inmates, people booked in the last 72 hours, and people released in the last 72 hours. The active roster count observed in the research file was 131 on June 18, 2026, but that number is only a point-in-time roster count, not an official rated capacity. The roster itself states that information is provided as a public service, that reasonable effort is made for accuracy, and that the facility does not guarantee the data. Use the roster as the first check, then confirm release, bond, holds, or transportation questions with the jail at (662) 862-7300.

The roster layout matters because the search is narrow: start with the custody tab, use the Last Name field if needed, and open the profile before relying on a name match.
How to Use the Itawamba County Inmate Roster
The direct roster URL is https://tcsi-roster.azurewebsites.net/Default.aspx?code=itawambaMS&i=323&type=roster. A basic search only needs a last name, but the best result comes from checking the correct custody window and then opening the inmate profile. This is the practical answer to how do I find someone in the Itawamba County jail: search the active roster first, check recent booking and release tabs, then call the jail if the person is missing or the status is urgent.
- Open the official sheriff page or go directly to the Tiger roster URL for Itawamba County Detention Center.
- Choose the right tab: active roster for current custody, Recently Booked for the last 72 hours, or Recently Released for the last 72 hours.
- Type the person's last name in the visible Last Name field. No wildcard or minimum-character instruction was visible in the research.
- Review the list result, which can show name, gender, and age. Similar names should not be treated as a positive identification.
- Use the Select Inmate link or the profile link to open the public inmate profile.
- Read the booking date, arresting agency, scheduled release field, charge table, bond amount, and fine amount. If the person is not shown, call Itawamba Jail at (662) 862-7300 and then the Sheriff's Office at (662) 862-3401 during office hours.
Itawamba County Roster Search Fields
The Itawamba roster is simpler than many statewide search tools. It does not present separate first-name, booking-number, facility, date-range, or charge filters in the captured research. The visible control is a Last Name field, supported by roster tabs and profile links. That means the user often needs to open more than one profile and confirm identity from booking details instead of relying on the list row alone.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Single visible search field used to filter the roster by surname. No wildcard or minimum-character rule was visible. |
| View Active Roster | Tab/link | No | Shows people currently listed in active Itawamba County Detention Center custody. |
| Recently Released | Tab/link | No | Shows releases from the last 72 hours, useful when a person no longer appears in active custody. |
| Recently Booked | Tab/link | No | Shows people booked in the last 72 hours, useful for new arrests that have reached the public feed. |
| Select Inmate | Profile link | No | Opens the public record with booking, demographic, charge, bond, fine, and mugshot fields when available. |
| Refresh Results | Link/button | No | Reloads the current roster tab. |
What an Itawamba County Inmate Profile Shows
A profile answers what does a roster record show for a person listed in the Itawamba County Detention Center system. The sample record inspected on June 18, 2026 displayed a mugshot image, identity and booking details, physical descriptors, and a charge table. The charge table used Description, Charge Type, Bond Amount, and Fine Amount columns. Bond and fine fields can show $0.00, which does not always mean the person can be released without conditions. A hold, detainer, no-bond order, or another agency's request may control release.
The following sample-profile screenshot was captured from the official Tiger inmate profile page for Itawamba County.
The sample confirms that the public profile is the place to check charge-level bond and fine fields, not just the list row.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Full inmate name as entered in the roster, with list and profile formatting controlled by the Tiger system. |
| Mugshot / inmate picture | Public booking image on the profile when the roster exposes it. |
| Booking # | Numeric booking identifier in the inspected sample; no public format rule was posted. |
| Booking Date | Date and time of booking, shown in the sample down to seconds. |
| Primary Offense | Label visible on the profile; the inspected sample did not display a separate value. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency responsible for the arrest or hold, which may be a local or outside agency. |
| Schedule Release Date | Scheduled release date if populated; N/A can appear when no date is posted. |
| Demographics | Age, sex, height, weight, race, hair, eyes, and glasses fields. |
| Charge Description | Plain-language charge, hold, or detainer description as entered in the system. |
| Charge Type | Felony, misdemeanor, hold, or other classification entered for that charge row. |
| Bond Amount | Charge-level bond field. Confirm total release eligibility with the jail before posting money. |
| Fine Amount | Separate monetary fine field, not the same thing as bond. |
Finding County, State, and Federal Inmates
The county roster covers Itawamba County Jail custody. It does not search every Mississippi jail, state prison, federal facility, or immigration detention center. People arrested locally may appear in the Tiger roster after intake, while people sentenced to state prison move into the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search. People in federal sentenced custody use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. Immigration detainees use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Mississippi VINE is a custody and notification channel, useful for monitoring status but not a replacement for the jail roster or MDOC search.
| Custody | Where to Look | Itawamba County Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or short local sentence | Itawamba County Detention Center roster | Best first stop for current county jail custody, recent bookings, and recent releases. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Mississippi Department of Corrections locator | Use after sentencing or transfer to MDOC. No state prison was located inside Itawamba County. |
| Federal sentenced inmate | BOP inmate locator | BOP covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present and warns that release dates may change. |
| Federal pretrial detainee | Federal court, counsel, or U.S. Marshals channel | No Itawamba-specific USMS contract facility was confirmed in the research. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE ODLS | Search adults in ICE custody by A-number or biographical information; ODLS is not a mugshot gallery. |
| Status notifications | Mississippi VINE | Use for custody or criminal-case notifications where available. |
Itawamba County Jail Facilities
The research found one detention facility physically in Itawamba County for this site: the Itawamba County Jail / Itawamba County Detention Center. No separate Itawamba state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, regional jail, or city jail with its own public roster was located. MDOC lists an Itawamba Probation and Parole Office in Fulton, but that is a supervision office, not a detention facility.
The official county contact source is the Itawamba County Sheriff's Department page.
The sheriff page is important because it ties the jail address, sheriff office, jail phone, staff names, and roster link to the same official county source.

Jail Administrator: John Ainsworth
Visitation schedule: not published in official sources; call the jail before arrival.
Booking Process in Itawamba County
Local intake details were not published as a step-by-step policy, so the safest description comes from the roster fields and general county jail procedure. A person arrested in Itawamba County is taken to the jail at 102 Joe Staub Road, where jail staff identify the person, create a booking record, inventory property, check warrants or holds, collect fingerprints, take a booking photo, and enter arresting agency and charge information. Once the record is entered into the Tiger system, the person may appear on the active roster or the Recently Booked tab.
If an arrest just happened, the roster may lag behind intake. If the person bonded out quickly or was released, the active roster may no longer show the name, while the Released Last 72hrs tab may still help. For time-sensitive questions, call the jail information line at (662) 862-7300. For administrative records questions during business hours, the Sheriff's Office is at 100 Joe Staub Road, Fulton, phone (662) 862-3401.
Itawamba County Justice Court handles preliminary hearings and has authority to set bonds and issue arrest and search warrants. The Justice Court page states that criminal court dates are the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Felony matters can later move to Circuit Court and the First Circuit District Attorney, while misdemeanors may remain in Justice Court unless another court has jurisdiction.
In-Person and Public Records Request Options
The roster is the fastest public channel, but it is not the only access channel. The Sheriff's Department page does not publish a dedicated booking-record request form. It does publish in-person background-check services and records-related fees: local background checks are available at the Sheriff's Office with valid ID, county residents pay no fee, non-county residents pay $5 cash, fingerprints cost $10, and accident or incident reports are listed at $20 for non-residents. The page lists administrative office hours as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; background checks are described as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For a booking record, mugshot, or status question that the roster does not answer, use this fallback chain: call Itawamba Jail at (662) 862-7300, call the Sheriff's Office at (662) 862-3401 during business hours, then submit a written Mississippi Public Records Act request to the Sheriff's Department if a record copy is needed. Mississippi public records are governed by Miss. Code Ann. 25-61-1 et seq., subject to exemptions for law enforcement records, investigative material, juvenile records, sealed cases, expunged records, and other protected information. A records request should identify the person, approximate booking date, requested record type, and preferred response method.
Visitation Hours and Rules
The official Itawamba sources inspected did not publish a weekly county jail visitation schedule, video visitation vendor, dress code, visit length, approved visitor list process, attorney-visit procedure, holiday schedule, or detailed mail rules. Do not assume a jail visit is available on a particular day without calling first. Bring government-issued photo identification, because the sheriff's public counter instructions require valid ID for in-person background checks, and a jail visit will normally require identity verification even when the specific visitation ID rule is not posted.
| Day / Topic | Published Itawamba County Finding | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Hours not published | Call Itawamba Jail at (662) 862-7300 before traveling. |
| Tuesday | Hours not published | Call Itawamba Jail at (662) 862-7300 before traveling. |
| Wednesday | Hours not published | Call Itawamba Jail at (662) 862-7300 before traveling. |

| Video visitation | Vendor and schedule not located | Ask whether remote video visits are available before creating any account. |

| Mail rules | Format and banned-item list not located | Call before mailing anything to a detainee. |
How to Contact an Itawamba County Inmate
County jail mail, phone, and video rules were not published in the official sources reviewed. Because the mail format with booking number, banned items, envelope rules, tablet program, inmate-phone vendor, and phone pricing were not located, the correct local instruction is to call the jail before sending mail or trying to fund a communication account. Use the facility name and address when calling: Itawamba County Jail / Itawamba County Detention Center, 102 Joe Staub Road, Fulton, MS 38843, (662) 862-7300.
Do not apply MDOC prison communication rules to current county jail detainees. MDOC visiting, mail, phone, and money rules are for state prisoners. MDOC's phone page lists 1-877-650-4249 for state inmate telephone customer-service issues and notes that regional county prisons are locally administered and may use different arrangements. That distinction matters in Itawamba County because the local jail is operated by the Sheriff's Department, while sentenced state prisoners are handled by MDOC after transfer.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Itawamba County Jail uses Tiger Commissary for web deposits and commissary ordering. The roster also includes a gift link that routes to Tiger Commissary. The research found options for Web Deposits, which place money on an inmate trust fund account, and Order Commissary, which allows commissary items to be ordered for shipment to an inmate. Deposit limits, checkout fees, refund rules, and current delivery timing should be confirmed during checkout or with the jail because a static roster page may not show every payment rule.
The Tiger Commissary screenshot below was captured from the Itawamba County Jail service page.
Because commissary accounts depend on current custody and correct facility selection, verify the person's roster status before sending funds.
Note: Confirm custody with Itawamba Jail before sending money, mailing items, or scheduling any visit.
Mobile App and Notification Channels
No official Itawamba County Sheriff's Department mobile app or Fulton Police app was located in the research. The sheriff page did not show app badges, and no app-only roster, warrant search, most-wanted list, or records-request feature was documented. Do not rely on unrelated Mississippi sheriff apps or generic mobile-policing apps as official Itawamba County custody tools unless the Sheriff's Department later links one.
For notifications, use Mississippi VINE when custody status or criminal-case notifications are available for the person or case. VINE is helpful for updates, but it should be paired with the roster for local county jail custody, MDOC for sentenced state custody, BOP for federal sentenced custody, and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
