Neshoba County Jail Roster Access
The researched county record set does not show a public browser-based inmate roster on the official Neshoba County website. The county site does publish the sheriff page for Sheriff Eric Clark, the Law Enforcement Center contact information, and a public-records policy. The official Neshoba County Sheriff MS App Store listing and the Google Play listing identify a sheriff app, and local app-launch material describes an Inmate Roster feature. That makes the app the researched first stop for current Neshoba County inmate records, with the jail phone line and written records process as the backup chain.
Use care with the word roster. A county jail roster is for local custody: people held after arrest, awaiting first appearance, serving a local sentence, or waiting on transfer. It is not the same as the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search, which is for sentenced state custody. It also does not replace the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. A Neshoba County arrest may start locally, but the search can shift if the person is sentenced, transferred, or held for another authority.
The official Neshoba County sheriff page identifies the Law Enforcement Center and gives the local jail contact details used for custody checks.
This source matters because it ties the sheriff, jail administrator, Law Enforcement Center, and county jail duties to the same local custody office.
Use the Neshoba County Inmate Roster
The Neshoba County Sheriff MS app is the only official channel found in the research that advertises an Inmate Roster feature. The county website itself should still be checked for sheriff and jail information, but current custody lookups should begin with the app when a mobile device is available. If the app does not load, does not show the person, or lacks the detail needed for bond, court, release, or booking history, call the Law Enforcement Center at 601-656-1414. For older or nonposted booking records, use the county's written public-records policy rather than relying on unofficial jail sites.
- Install or open the Neshoba County Sheriff MS app from Apple or Google Play and confirm the publisher shown in the store listing.
- Open the advertised Inmate Roster module and search by the person's name, if the module is available on the device.
- If the app result is missing or unclear, call the Neshoba County Law Enforcement Center at 601-656-1414 and ask for current custody status.
- For released-person details, older booking data, or copies of records, prepare a written public-records request with enough identifying information.
- If jail staff say the person is in state, federal, or immigration custody, move to MDOC, BOP, ICE, or VINE as appropriate.
The Google Play listing for the Neshoba County Sheriff MS app is a useful source because it confirms the app exists and is tied to sheriff public-safety information.
The app listing supports the access route, but it does not let a browser user inspect every roster field, so the page does not claim a full roster profile layout.
Neshoba County Roster Search Fields
Because no official browser roster was located, the county web search fields are limited to a research gap. The sheriff app is described as interactive, but the app's internal roster fields were not fully viewable from the browser research environment. The safest field table therefore separates confirmed local access from statewide and federal tools that publish search inputs. For a person who may have moved from Neshoba County jail to state prison, the MDOC locator fields are the better match.
| Lookup Channel | Field or Input | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neshoba County web roster | Not available | n/a | No official browser-based jail roster was found on neshobacounty.net. |
| Neshoba County Sheriff MS app | Inmate Roster module | Unspecified | Official app listings confirm the app; local coverage identifies an Inmate Roster feature. |
| MDOC inmate search | Name or ID Number | Yes | Use for sentenced Mississippi prisoners, not local pretrial custody. |
| BOP by-name search | First, middle, last, race, sex, age | Varies | Use only for federal inmates from 1982 forward. |
| ICE ODLS | A-number and country, or name, country, date of birth | Yes | Use for adult ICE detainees and some longer CBP custody, not county jail bookings. |
Neshoba County Inmate Record Fields
Mississippi law gives the clearest baseline for Neshoba County inmate records. Mississippi Code section 47-1-21 requires each sheriff to keep an alphabetical jail docket. That statute is broader than an app roster and narrower than a full court file. It supports core custody details, but it does not prove that every detail is posted online or shown in the sheriff app. Treat an app result as a current public-facing aid and the sheriff jail docket or public-records process as the durable source for copies.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The prisoner's name, required in the sheriff jail docket. |
| Age | Age listed for the jail docket record. |
| Sex and race/color | Statutory docket fields, though modern public copies may use current terms or redact some details. |
| Commitment date | The date the person was committed to jail custody. |
| Time to be served | Sentence or custody time required when applicable. |
| Fine, costs, and jail fees | Financial entries required by the jail-docket statute where they apply. |
| Work days | Days worked on county farm or work assignment, relevant because Neshoba's jail has work-crew beds. |
| Discharge date | The release or discharge date once custody ends. |
| Booking photo, charges, bond, housing | Not confirmed in a browser-accessible Neshoba roster; verify through app, jail phone, court, or records request. |
Neshoba County Custody vs MDOC
Neshoba County inmate records should be sorted by custody type before searching. A person recently arrested in Philadelphia or elsewhere in the county may be held at the Neshoba County Law Enforcement Center. A person serving a state sentence may appear in MDOC records or at Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility in DeKalb. Federal and immigration systems are separate again. VINE adds notification, not a full jail profile, and it helps when a victim, family member, or witness needs custody-status alerts.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Sheriff app, 601-656-1414, or in person at the Law Enforcement Center | Recent arrests, bond status, local holds, release questions. |
| Sentenced Mississippi custody | MDOC inmate search | State prisoners, MDOC ID searches, regional facility placement. |
| Victim notification | Mississippi VINE / MS SAVIN | Release or custody-change alerts. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal prison records from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | Adult ICE detainee searches by A-number or identity fields. |
Note: A person can leave the county roster without being free if another agency takes custody or a detainer controls release.
Neshoba County Jail Facilities
The main local jail is the Neshoba County Law Enforcement Center, also called the Neshoba County Detention Center in county procurement material. The regional facility using the Neshoba name is in neighboring Kemper County and serves a mixed county-state role. Philadelphia Police Department is an arresting agency in the county seat, but the research did not locate a separate city jail roster, visitation schedule, or public municipal holding-facility page.

Neshoba County Booking Records
Official online sources do not publish a detailed Neshoba County booking manual, but the path is clear enough for record searches. The arresting agency brings the person to the sheriff-operated jail. Jail staff create or update the custody record, handle identifying data and property, check warrants and holds, and place the person pending release, bond, court appearance, transfer, or sentence. Booking photo and fingerprint timing are not published in the county sources, so the exact profile display should be verified through the sheriff app or jail staff.
Justice Court is the key local court step after booking. The official Justice Court page says felony cases are first heard there for initial appearance and filing of affidavit, and judges hold jail sessions to ensure an initial appearance within three days of arrest. That means a jail record can exist before the formal court record is complete. For the charge path after booking, use court offices and the court-records-after-arrest process.
Neshoba County Jail Visitation
Neshoba County does not publish a complete online schedule for jail visitation, mail, phone accounts, video visits, commissary, or inmate deposits on the official county site. The safe rule is to call before travel or payment. The 2023 commissary procurement material confirms the Neshoba County Detention Center has a commissary program and houses Neshoba County inmates and inmates from other governmental entities, but it is not a visitor instruction page. For regional or state custody, call the facility and check MDOC family and friends guidance before travel.
| Facility | Visitation Finding | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Neshoba County Law Enforcement Center | Schedule not published in official online sources. | Call 601-656-1414, bring government photo ID, confirm rules first. |
| Kemper/Neshoba Regional | Schedule not published on the MDOC facility page. | Call 601-743-5767 and ask about current approval and visiting rules. |
| MDOC facilities generally | Visitors may need approval; inmates initiate visitor applications. | Use MDOC family and friends rules, then confirm facility-specific limits. |
Neshoba County Records Requests
For inmate records not visible through the app, the county's public-records policy is the durable fallback. Requests must be in writing on the county form or by letter, fax, or email. They must include the requester's name, address, other contact information including phone and email, enough detail to identify the record, and the date and time of the request. The policy says the public-records officer or designee shall not accept requests with those details by telephone or in person. Inspection is handled through the Chancery Clerk's office during weekday business hours, excluding legal holidays.
| Item | Amount or Rule |
|---|---|
| Standard photocopy | $0.50 per page. |
| Color copy, if available | $0.75 per page. |
| Scan of existing paper record | $0.25 per page. |
| Email of available electronic record | No charge listed for emailing the record itself. |
| Search, review, and redaction | Based on the lowest-paid qualified employee's hourly compensation. |
Neshoba County Release Notifications
Mississippi VINE, also called MS SAVIN in the research, is the notification channel for custody status and release alerts. It is not a replacement for the Neshoba County jail, and it should not be used to confirm bond payment rules or property release. MDOC lists registration through VINELink, standard business assistance at 601-359-5759, a 24-hour MS SAVIN line at 1-888-9-MSSAVIN, and TTY 866-847-1298. Use it when a custody change matters and then confirm urgent status questions with the jail or the holding agency.
