Raymond Detention Overview
Hinds County Sheriff's Office identifies the Raymond Detention Center as the county's named detention facility in Raymond. Sheriff Tyree D. Jones operates the adult county jail system, and the sheriff page lists detention contacts for Raymond, Jackson, and the Joint County and State Work Facility. Raymond is the primary facility for public-facing Hinds County inmate lookup because the county inmate query, recent overcrowding reports, and federal jail-conditions litigation all center on the adult jail system.
The population held at Hinds County Raymond Detention Center can include people arrested by sheriff's deputies, Jackson-area agencies, Capitol Police, municipal departments, and other law-enforcement agencies that bring arrestees into Hinds County custody. Some are awaiting a first appearance or bond setting. Others are waiting on indictment, court hearings, transport, or transfer to the Mississippi Department of Corrections after sentencing. The public roster does not show every internal housing or classification fact, so the facility line remains important when location matters.
The official sheriff page screenshot in the image below shows the Raymond contact and the Hinds County detention information source. The source is the Hinds County Sheriff's Office page, which also lists mail and detention services.
That county source is the best starting point for the Raymond street address, detention phone numbers, mail rules, and the official path to roster and visitation services.
Raymond Jail Capacity
Recent public numbers for Hinds County Raymond Detention Center come from news and litigation context rather than a single county dashboard. Mississippi Today reported in April 2026 that the Raymond facility had a reported capacity of 425 beds and held 475 people during discussion of new jail construction and overcrowding. The same research file notes that the Hinds County inmate population picture has varied by source and date, so these figures should be read as reported public counts, not as a fixed daily census.
Prison Policy Initiative's correctional population table also listed 821 local prisoners for Hinds County Detention Center, Jail, and Penal Farm on December 31, 2013. That older figure is useful for history, but it should not be used as a current Raymond count. More recent reports describe emergency declarations, transfers, staffing strain, and new construction planning. The safest reading is that Raymond remains the central adult jail, with public population data spread across the roster, county contacts, court filings, and reporting.
| Population Point | Source Context |
|---|---|
| 425 beds | Reported Raymond capacity in April 2026 news coverage. |
| 475 people | Reported April 2026 jail population tied to construction and crowding coverage. |
| 821 local prisoners | Historical 2013 Prison Policy Initiative local jail/penal farm table. |
Raymond Inmate Lookup
Current Hinds County Raymond Detention Center lookup runs through the official Hinds County Inmate Query. The county page says it displays current inmate information and photographs only for people currently incarcerated in Hinds County. It is not a released-inmate archive. If a person was moved to state prison after sentencing, the MDOC inmate search becomes the better path. If a federal or immigration hold becomes federal custody, BOP or ICE systems may be needed.
- Open the official Hinds County Inmate Query and use the Name field.
- Enter the name in last-name-first format, such as Doe, John, or use a single last-name initial for a broader list.
- Review the result table for name, DOB, height, weight, sex, race, and arrest date before opening a profile.
- Open the linked name to see arresting agency, arrest date, physical description, charge blocks, indictment fields, warrant fields, and any current photo shown by the roster.
- If the person is not found, call Raymond at 601-857-4800, check MDOC for sentenced custody, use VINELink for notifications, or file a Hinds County public-records request for older booking records.
The official roster screenshot comes from the Hinds County current inmate search form. It shows the single-name search approach used for Raymond and the rest of the Hinds County adult jail system.
Because the search is current-only, absence from the list can mean release, transfer, different spelling, delayed booking entry, or custody outside the county jail system.
Raymond Address and Contact
Use the Raymond street address for facility contact and travel, but do not use it for routine inmate mail. Hinds County routes detention mail through a separate processing address in Longview, Texas. The sheriff's office also publishes a general office address in Jackson and a records line, which can help when the question is about an older booking sheet, jail docket entry, or a record that no longer appears on the current roster.

Raymond Visitation Scheduling
Hinds County's adult visitation path is vendor-supported. The county has posted online scheduling for the Raymond Detention Center, and ConnectNetwork lists AdvancePay Phone, Visitation Scheduling, and Video Visitation for Hinds County, Mississippi. The sheriff page also links video visitation services. No current hour-by-hour Raymond visitation schedule was located in the official research, so the appointment, visitor ID rule, dress rule, and allowed property rule should be confirmed before travel.
| Visit Channel | Documented Source | Practical Note |
|---|---|---|
| Online scheduling | County post and GTL/ViaPath pathway | Use the scheduling portal, then confirm the appointment. |
| Video visitation | Sheriff page and ConnectNetwork | Account setup may be required before a visit can be scheduled. |
| In-person rules | Specific current hours not located | Call 601-857-4800 before leaving for Raymond. |
| Attorney visits | Separate adult rule not located | Use the detention line or sheriff's office for procedure. |
The image below is from the ConnectNetwork Hinds County MS services page, which identifies the adult phone and visitation services used for the Hinds County detention system.
Overcrowding, staffing issues, lockdowns, and receiver or court-control actions can affect visits, so vendor scheduling does not replace a same-day facility check.
Raymond Mail and Money
Hinds County publishes a specific adult detention mail route designed to reduce contraband. Mail for Hinds County Detention Center goes to a processing address, not the Raymond street address. The sheriff page also promotes NCIC messaging for faster delivery of messages, documents, and photos.

Raymond Jail Conditions
Raymond has an unusually detailed public conditions history. The DOJ 2016 settlement announcement described findings involving failure to protect prisoners from violence and excessive force, along with people held past court-ordered release dates. Later DOJ and Fifth Circuit materials discuss Hinds County detention facilities, Raymond Detention Center conditions, monitor or receiver issues, staffing, supervision, locks, escapes, assaults, and overcrowding. That history matters because it can affect visitation, movement, housing, and the timing of custody updates.
Local reporting also describes emergency declarations and new jail construction phases. AP reporting in 2023 described closure of a problematic Raymond section known as Pod A and transfer of 200 inmates to Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility. Later reports described federal receiver action and overcrowding. Use these facts as conditions and operations context, not as a substitute for checking whether a specific person is in custody today.
Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, and mail rules with Raymond before travel or payment because emergency operations can change quickly.
Raymond Records Requests
For released people, older booking photos, jail docket entries, or records not visible in the current query, use the Hinds County public-record request form. The form cites Mississippi public-records law, requests identifying contact fields, and says to allow seven working days. A good request names the person, approximate booking or arrest date, arresting agency if known, and the exact record sought, such as a booking sheet, jail docket entry, release date, warrant field, or booking photograph.
Raymond records should not be confused with court records. The jail roster shows arrest and custody data. Formal case filings, indictments, and court motions are handled through court offices and Mississippi Electronic Courts where access is available. If the person has moved from Hinds County jail custody to MDOC, the county roster may stop showing the profile while MDOC becomes the better custody source.
