Kemper/Neshoba Regional Inmate Search

Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility Overview

Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility is a regional facility at 374 Stennis Industrial Park Road in DeKalb, Mississippi. It is not physically inside Neshoba County, but it is the named regional facility associated with the Kemper/Neshoba correctional system. MDOC lists it as a regional facility, and the Kemper County sheriff page gives the local operating context under Sheriff James R. Moore. Warden Byron Walker is named by both the MDOC facility page and Kemper sheriff facility information.

The population mix is broader than the Neshoba County Law Enforcement Center. The Kemper sheriff page says the facility houses state inmates, joint county-state inmates, and county inmates, including male and female inmates, but no juveniles. Juveniles are housed in Scott County according to the same local source. For a Neshoba County arrest, this means the regional facility may become relevant after transfer or sentencing, while the first local custody check still begins with the sheriff-operated jail in Philadelphia.

The MDOC Kemper/Neshoba facility page identifies the facility type, warden, address, and phone number.

MDOC's facility page is useful for official locator context, but the Kemper sheriff page supplies additional capacity, staffing, and local operating details.

Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility Capacity and Population

The current Kemper County sheriff facility page lists a 480-bed capacity mix: 355 state inmates, 50 joint county-state inmates, and 75 county inmates. Older Kemper sheriff ACA material gave a higher maximum capacity of up to 497 and reported 419 inmates at the time of that release, with a split between state and county inmates. Because the 480-bed mix appears on the current facility page, it is the safer capacity figure for present facility-page copy.

This regional capacity should not be confused with the 64-bed Neshoba County Law Enforcement Center. A person can be arrested in Neshoba County and first appear locally, then later move into a regional or state custody track. Current headcount changes daily, and official research did not locate a live public regional population feed. Call the facility for present custody or use MDOC's locator for sentenced state inmates.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility

The correct lookup path depends on why the person is at the regional facility. Sentenced Mississippi state inmates should be searched through the MDOC inmate search, which supports name and MDOC ID number criteria. County or joint county-state custody details may require a direct call to Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility at 601-743-5767. If the person was recently arrested in Neshoba County and has not transferred, check the Neshoba County Sheriff's Department and Law Enforcement Center first.

1. Use the MDOC inmate search for a sentenced state inmate, choosing either name search or MDOC ID number search.
2. Review the result for current facility information and confirm whether Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility is listed.
3. Call 601-743-5767 if the person may be in county, joint county-state, or recently transferred regional custody not clearly shown in MDOC search results.
4. For victim or release notifications, use Mississippi VINE/MS SAVIN; for a recent Neshoba arrest, also check the county jail and court record path.

MDOC Records can answer questions about offender time, jail credit, and eligibility dates, while the State Parole Board handles parole-specific questions. The regional facility page should not be treated as a federal or ICE locator, and it should not be used as proof that a county booking charge became a conviction.

Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility Address and Contact

Use the regional facility phone number for custody status, visitation approval, mail instructions, and local facility rules. The facility address is in DeKalb, which is in Kemper County rather than Neshoba County. That location difference matters for families traveling from Philadelphia and for records questions that begin with a Neshoba County arrest but later move into MDOC or regional custody.

Visiting Someone at Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility

MDOC's family and friends page provides statewide prison visitation context, but it also says regional facilities are operated by local authorities and may have different policies. For Kemper/Neshoba, call the facility before travel to confirm the person's housing status, approved visitor list, visiting days, dress code, search rules, and whether the visit is available. General MDOC context says visitation is a privilege, visitors may be searched, adults need valid picture ID, children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and vehicles are subject to search.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility

The reviewed MDOC and Kemper sheriff pages did not publish a full mail format, phone vendor, video vendor, commissary vendor, or deposit fee schedule for this regional facility. Because regional facilities can use local rules that differ from MDOC state facilities, families should confirm the inmate name format, identification number, housing requirements, approved money method, and prohibited items directly with Kemper/Neshoba before mailing anything or using a payment service.

Admission and Transfer at Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility

Kemper/Neshoba is not the usual first street-arrest booking point for a Philadelphia or Neshoba County arrest. A newly arrested person is more likely to be booked first at the Neshoba County Law Enforcement Center, then appear through Neshoba County Justice Court and later transfer if the case, sentence, or custody arrangement calls for regional placement. For sentenced state prisoners, MDOC classification and records become central because the county jail record will no longer show the full sentence, release, and eligibility picture.

When a regional record question traces back to a Neshoba County booking, the county public-records request policy is the written route for identifiable county records that are not available from the jail, app, or court.

The Kemper sheriff page describes a staffing model that includes captains, lieutenants, sergeants, correctional officers, nurses, a chaplain, a case worker, and an office manager. It also says officers attend a 40-hour jail-standards class and receive defensive tactics, CPR, and first-aid training. Those details support the regional facility's operating profile but do not replace current custody confirmation.

About Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility

The Kemper County sheriff jail page provides the most detailed local summary of staffing, capacity mix, juvenile policy, and facility mission.

That local source is why the regional facility page can distinguish state, joint county-state, and county capacity instead of treating the facility as a generic jail.

Recent local reporting adds accreditation context. WTOK reported on May 1, 2024 that the American Correctional Association was auditing Kemper/Neshoba County Regional Correctional Facility, noting that ACA audits occur every three years and assess hundreds of standards. Older Kemper sheriff material reported a high ACA compliance rating and a then-current count, but the older release should not be treated as a live population report.
