Itawamba County Jail Roster Overview
The Itawamba County Sheriff's Department runs the county jail and posts a live custody list online. Sheriff Mitch Nabors leads the department, and the jail sits at the detention center on Joe Staub Road in Fulton. The roster is hosted by a vendor under the Tiger Roster name. It is a public database, and it shows more detail than a plain arrest list. The list carries three tabs: View Active Roster, Recently Booked, and Recently Released. A name filter sits above each list so you can jump to one person fast.
The count of people in custody changes day to day, and the roster updates as the jail books and releases inmates. The Itawamba County jail roster covers only people held in the county detention center. It does not show inmates in state prison, people in federal custody, or those held by immigration authorities. Once a person is sentenced and moved to a state facility, their record drops off the county list and shows up in the state corrections system instead.
The sheriff's website links straight to the inmate roster and to the money and commissary tools. You can visit the Itawamba County Sheriff's page to reach the jail roster and related services from one spot.
The sheriff's page is the official gateway to the Itawamba County inmate search and to the deposit and gift links that the jail roster uses.
How to Use the Itawamba County Inmate Roster
The roster is a web page, so any phone or computer can open it. You do not need an account, and there is no fee to search. Start from the Itawamba County Detention Center jail roster and follow a few simple steps.
- Open the roster page and let the active custody list load.
- Pick a tab: View Active Roster, Recently Booked, or Recently Released.
- Type a last name into the Last Name filter to narrow the list.
- Scan the rows for the name, gender, and age that match.
- Click the Select Inmate link to open the full booking profile.
If the list looks stale, use Refresh Results to reload the current tab. A person booked in the last hour may not appear yet, since data posts after intake is done. When that happens, the jail phone line is the next step.
The active roster lists each inmate by name, gender, and age, with a Select Inmate link that opens the booking detail.
Itawamba County Roster Search Tools
The roster keeps its controls simple. Rather than a long form, it gives you tabs, one name filter, and a few action links. The table below lists each control on the Itawamba County jail roster and what it does.
| Control | Type | Required | What It Does |
|---|---|---|---|
| View Active Roster | Tab / link | No | Shows the main list of people now in custody. |
| Recently Booked | Tab / link | No | Shows people booked in the last 72 hours. |
| Recently Released | Tab / link | No | Shows people released in the last 72 hours. |
| Last Name | Text filter | No | Filters the current list by last name; no set format. |
| Refresh Results | Button / link | No | Reloads the results for the current tab. |
| Send An Inmate A Gift | Link | No | Routes to Tiger Commissary to send money or items. |
Each result row shows an Action column with the Select Inmate link, the Name in last-name-first order, the Gender, and the Age. Those four columns help you confirm a match before you open the full profile. The name filter is the only place you type anything.
Note: The roster has no booking-number search box, so a last-name filter plus the gender and age columns is the surest way to spot the right person.
What an Itawamba County Inmate Profile Shows
Click Select Inmate and a full booking profile opens under the Itawamba County Detention Center header. The profile carries a photo, identity details, and a charge table. A disclaimer states the data is a public service, is informational only, and carries no guarantee of accuracy. The field list below shows what each profile holds.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The inmate's full name, shown in all capital letters. |
| Booking # | The jail's internal booking identifier for this stay. |
| Booking Date | Date and time the person was booked into the jail. |
| Primary Offense | The lead charge; may be blank on some records. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency that made the arrest, such as Lee County, MS. |
| Schedule Release Date | Set release date, or N/A when none is listed. |
| Age | The inmate's age in years. |
| Sex | Male or female as recorded at booking. |
| Height | Height in feet and inches, such as 5ft 10in. |
| Weight | Weight in pounds, such as 135lbs. |
| Race | Race as listed on the booking record. |
| Hair | Hair color and length description. |
| Eyes | Eye color. |
| Glasses | Yes or no, noting whether the person wears glasses. |
| Charge Information | A table of charges with Description, Charge Type, Bond Amount, and Fine Amount. |
The charge table is the heart of the profile. Each row gives the charge description, the type such as felony or misdemeanor, the bond amount, and any fine amount. A common entry reads "HOLD; DETAINER FOR OTHER AGENCY," which means another agency has asked the jail to keep the person. You can view a sample inmate profile to see the layout in full.
The sample profile shows the photo, the physical description fields, and the charge table that lists each charge with its bond and fine amounts.
Recently Booked and Recently Released Tabs
Two tabs handle fast-moving cases. The Recently Booked tab lists people booked into the jail in the last 72 hours. The Recently Released tab lists people let go in the same window. Both are handy when an arrest or release is too new for a clear answer from the main list. You can open the recently booked roster to check new intakes.
The recently booked tab is the quickest way to confirm a brand-new arrest before it settles into the main active list.
The release side works the same way. If a person was bonded out or released overnight, the active roster may still need time to catch up. The recently released roster closes that gap and shows who left custody in the past three days.
Checking the recently released tab confirms that someone has left the Itawamba County Detention Center even before the active roster drops their name.
Booking Charges vs Court Case Records
The roster charge table is a custody view, not the court file. It tells you why the jail is holding a person and what bond was set. It does not carry pleas, motions, hearing dates, disposition, or the sentence. Those live in the court record, and they tell a fuller story than a booking entry can.
Where the case file sits depends on the charge. Justice Court judges in Itawamba County can set bonds and issue arrest and search warrants, so early bond and warrant questions often run through Justice Court. Felony prosecution moves to Circuit Court, where indictments, pleas, and sentencing are entered. For the charges as filed by the prosecutor, the county arrest records and court charges page tracks that arrest-to-charge path. For the full case file with disposition and sentence, the criminal court records page is the better source.
Note: A booking charge can be amended, reduced, or dropped once the prosecutor reviews the case, so always confirm current charges against the court record.
Booking Process in Itawamba County
A person arrested in the county is taken to the detention center on Joe Staub Road and booked in. Intake records the name, the date and time, a photo, and a physical description. Staff log the arresting agency and the charges, then enter the person into the Tiger Roster. From there, the inmate is held pending release, bond, transfer, or a court date.
Bond and first-appearance steps come next. Justice Court judges in Itawamba County have the power to set bonds and to issue arrest and search warrants, so early release questions often route through that court. Some inmates carry a hold or detainer for another agency, which keeps them in jail even after the local charge clears. A booking is a snapshot in time, and a person's status can change within hours as bond is posted or a transfer is arranged.
Itawamba County Detention Center Contact
When the roster cannot answer a question, the jail itself can. The sheriff's department handles booking, custody, and visitation questions by phone. Use the contact details below to reach the detention center directly.
Itawamba County Detention Center
Sheriff Mitch Nabors
100 Joe Staub Road
Fulton, MS 38843
(662) 862-3401
Fax: (662) 862-7481
A search result also flagged jail-related lines at (662) 862-7300 and (662) 862-1911 used for sheriff and jail contact. Phone numbers can change, so confirm the current line when you call. Bring a photo ID if you visit the address in person, and do not expect staff to share sealed or restricted details.
Finding State Prison Inmates and Parolees
The county roster stops at the jail door. Once a person is sentenced and moved to the Mississippi Department of Corrections, the county list no longer shows them. State inmates are tracked through the MDOC system instead. You can use the MDOC inmate search to find someone in state custody after transfer.
The state search takes a few simple fields. Enter a first name, a last name, or an MDOC ID number, then submit. The table below lists the fields the state inmate search accepts.
| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | No | Optional if a name or ID is used. |
| Last Name | Text | No | Search by name. |
| MDOC ID Number | Text | No | The state inmate identifier. |
| Search | Button | Yes | Submits the search. |
For someone on parole, the MDOC parolee search works much the same way. It adds City and County fields on top of the name and MDOC ID number, so you can narrow the result to the person's release area.
Ways to Check Itawamba County Custody
The online roster is the first stop, but it is not the only one. Several channels work together when a booking is too new, a record is sealed, or a person has moved to state custody. Each route below covers a different gap.
- County jail roster: best for people now held or booked and released in the last 72 hours.
- Jail and sheriff phone: call (662) 862-3401 or (662) 862-7300 when the roster is down or a booking is too new.
- In person: visit 100 Joe Staub Road, Fulton, with a photo ID for custody questions staff can answer.
- MDOC inmate search: use it for people sentenced and transferred to state prison.
- Public-records request: ask in writing for booking or jail records not shown on the roster.
Booking and jail records that the roster does not show may be available through a written request under the Mississippi Public Records Act. Investigative files and other confidential records can be withheld, and a response can take time. Records held by the courts rather than the jail are requested through the clerk's office that keeps the case file.
Commissary and Web Deposits
The jail roster links to Tiger Commissary for money and gifts. The "Click Here To Send An Inmate A Gift" link on the roster and on each profile routes to that service. Tiger Commissary names Itawamba County Jail as the selected facility and offers web deposits and commissary orders. A deposit places money on an inmate trust fund account, and a commissary order ships approved items to the inmate.
| Service | Official Path | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Web deposits | Tiger Commissary Itawamba page | Adds money to an inmate trust fund account. |
| Order commissary | Tiger Commissary Itawamba page | Orders commissary items for an inmate. |
| Delivery estimate | Tiger Commissary Itawamba page | Shows a delivery date based on the order date; changes often. |
| Send a gift | Jail roster list and profile | "Send An Inmate A Gift" link routes to Tiger Commissary. |
The service showed a delivery estimate and a free-shipping note for orders over a set amount during the session reviewed. Those promotions shift over time, so treat any deadline or shipping offer on the page as a moving target rather than a fixed rule.
Visitation and Mail Rules
Itawamba County publishes the roster and the commissary link online, but it did not publish a full visitation and mail rule sheet in the official sources reviewed. The county did not post visit days, visit lengths, video visit details, visitor ID rules, a dress code, child visitor rules, a mail address format, or phone-call pricing. Because jail rules change often, none of those details should be guessed at.
Confirm before you visit or mail. Before traveling for a visit or sending property, call the jail at (662) 862-3401 or (662) 862-7300 and ask for the current visitor schedule, the ID requirement, the mail format, and the prohibited-items list.
State prison rules are a separate matter. MDOC visitation governs people in state custody after sentencing, and those rules do not apply to the county jail unless the jail adopts the same vendor and policy. Keep the two straight: the county roster and Tiger Commissary serve the Itawamba County Detention Center, while MDOC tools serve state inmates after transfer.
Note: Visitation and mail policies at the county jail were not published in the sources reviewed, so a direct phone call is the only reliable way to confirm them.
