Lookup Hinds County Jackson Detention Center Custody

Jackson Detention Overview

Hinds County Sheriff's Office lists a Jackson Detention Center with a direct phone number of 601-974-2945. The current sheriff detention table does not separately confirm a modern street address or bed count for Jackson beyond the downtown sheriff and justice complex context. The sheriff's main public office address is 407 E Pascagoula Street in Jackson, and Justice Court is also listed in that area. Because the research did not locate a separate official Jackson Detention Center address, visitors should confirm the exact entrance and address with the sheriff before travel.

The facility should be treated as part of the Hinds County adult detention system, not as a state prison, federal prison, or juvenile center. DOJ's 2016 settlement announcement described the Hinds County Adult Detention Center and Jackson City Detention Center together as the Hinds County Jail, which is why the Jackson facility remains relevant even when Raymond is the main adult jail focus. For a person in current Hinds custody, the online roster is still the first public lookup channel.

Jackson Detention Lookup

Use the official Hinds County Inmate Query to search for current adult Hinds County detainees. The roster page says it provides current inmate information and photographs for currently incarcerated Hinds County inmates. In the inspected sample, the profile fields showed name, address or status, DOB, sex, race, height, weight, eye and hair color, arresting agency, arrest date, charge blocks, indictment fields, and warrant fields. The sample did not show a clear housing or facility-location field, so the roster may confirm custody without proving the person is physically at Jackson.

1. Open the Hinds County Inmate Query and search by last name, comma, first name, or use a last-name initial.
2. Compare the result row by DOB, sex, race, height, weight, and arrest date when names are similar.
3. Open the linked profile and check charge blocks, arresting agency, indictment number fields, and warrant fields.
4. Call 601-974-2945 if the issue is whether the person is at the Jackson Detention Center rather than Raymond or another Hinds facility.
5. If the person is no longer listed, try MDOC for state custody, VINELink for notifications, or the Hinds County records request process for older booking information.

The screenshot below comes from the official Hinds County current inmate search form, the same public roster path used for Jackson detention custody questions.

The form's current-only rule is the key limit: released people, older records, and transferred prisoners may require phone, records, MDOC, BOP, ICE, or court channels.

Jackson Detention Contact

Jackson detention questions often involve two different needs. A family member may need the direct detention line to confirm whether someone is physically held there. A requester may need sheriff records or a public-records form for a booking sheet, jail docket entry, release date, or older mugshot no longer visible through the current roster. Use the direct facility phone first for immediate custody or visit questions, then use records channels for documents.

Jackson Visitation Scheduling

Hinds County published online inmate visitation scheduling for the Jackson Detention Center, and the adult detention vendor path uses the Hinds County ConnectNetwork/GTL/ViaPath services. Current hours were not located in the official research, so a scheduled video or in-person visit should be confirmed with the facility. Jackson's downtown setting also makes entrance and parking confirmation important, especially when a visitor is going to a justice complex rather than the Raymond jail campus.

The county scheduling source is shown in the captured Hinds County visitation scheduling post, which names both Raymond and Jackson detention centers.

That source confirms Jackson's online scheduling history, while the direct detention phone remains the better source for today's access rules.

Jackson Mail and Services

The research did not locate separate Jackson Detention Center mail, phone, or commissary rules. Unless staff provide a different instruction, use the Hinds County adult detention mail and vendor path. Mail is routed to the Hinds County Detention Center processing address in Longview, Texas, with the inmate name and inmate number. NCIC messaging is used for messages, documents, and photos. ConnectNetwork lists phone and video services for Hinds County, Mississippi. Tiger Commissary confirms the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond, so commissary questions for a Jackson-held person should be verified by phone before payment.

Jackson Detention Records

The Jackson Detention Center has to be read through both current custody and records history. DOJ's 2016 settlement announcement said the Hinds County Adult Detention Center and Jackson City Detention Center failed to protect prisoners from violence and excessive force and held people past court-ordered release dates. Those findings are part of the county jail system's record, but they do not answer a present-day custody question for a named person. Use the roster first, then the detention phone, then records request.

For older Jackson detention records, use the Hinds County public-records request form. The request should name the person, approximate arrest or booking date, arresting agency, and the record sought. A jail record is different from a court record. The roster may show arrest charges, while formal case filings may later appear through the Circuit Clerk, Justice Court, Mississippi Electronic Courts, or other court channels.

Jackson Jail Context

Jackson is also where many Hinds County criminal justice contacts are located. The sheriff's office, Justice Court, Circuit Clerk first district contact, District Attorney, and county records routes all involve Jackson addresses or offices. An inmate may be booked in the county system, held at Raymond or Jackson, and have court paperwork in the Jackson or Raymond judicial district depending on the case. That split is one reason the current roster, detention phone, and court contacts should be used together.

The Jackson Detention Center page should not be read as a stand-alone jail archive. Its current public details are thinner than Raymond's, and no official current capacity was located. The most accurate approach is to name the verified phone line, explain the address gap, use the Hinds County adult roster for current custody, and route unanswered details to the sheriff. That keeps the page specific without inventing a bed count, schedule, or building address.
