Perry County Jail Roster Status
No official Perry County, Mississippi online jail roster or inmate search was located on the county sheriff page or county government site. Wrong-state Perry County roster results appeared during research and were excluded. Commercial directory pages were also excluded because they were not official source material. That leaves the Perry County Sheriff's Department as the first local access channel for current jail inmate records.
The Perry County Jail / Perry Co MS Detention Center holds local arrestees pending first appearance or court, people held on warrants, local sentenced detainees, and short-term holds unless another agency takes custody. The sheriff page names Sheriff Jacob Garner and Chief Deputy Van Giadrosich and gives the public office address at 103 S. Main St in New Augusta with phone 601-964-8461. The sheriff page does not publish a separate detention records line, booking desk number, lobby hours, or roster portal.
That means a Perry County jail roster search is not a simple web lookup. A good search starts with a phone confirmation, then moves to in-person inquiry or a public-records request if the office cannot release enough detail by phone. For a person who has been sentenced to state prison, the county jail is no longer the right system. Use the MDOC locator instead.
Search Perry County Jail Records
Because Perry County did not publish an official online roster, the local search steps are built around the sheriff's information line and the jail docket request path. Before calling, gather the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date and time, and the town or arresting agency. Ask direct custody questions first, then ask about the record path if staff cannot provide details.
- Call the Perry County Sheriff's Department at 601-964-8461 and ask for a current custody check.
- Provide the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency or town.
- Ask whether the person is booked into Perry County Jail, released, transferred to MDOC, or held for another agency.
- Ask whether bond has been set, whether a first appearance is scheduled, and which court controls the case.
- If phone confirmation is not enough, ask how to submit a Mississippi Public Records Act request for a jail docket entry or booking sheet.
For very recent arrests, a record may not be ready when the first call is made. The person may still be in transport, in medical care, in booking, or with another agency. Ask when booking information is normally available and whether the sheriff can confirm release, transfer, or a hold.
Perry County Roster Search Fields
There is no local online Perry County roster field table because no official local web roster was found. The practical county search fields are the identifiers a jail employee or records custodian needs to avoid mixing people with similar names. For sentenced inmates, MDOC has a real locator with name and ID fields.
| Lookup Path | Field or Detail | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sheriff custody check | Full legal name | Yes | Use the name from ID, warrant, court paperwork, or family records. |
| Sheriff custody check | Date of birth | If known | Helps separate people with similar names. |
| Sheriff custody check | Arrest date and agency | If known | Ask whether the arrest was by sheriff, municipal, state, or another agency. |
| MDOC inmate search | First name, last name, or MDOC ID number | Name or ID | Use only for sentenced state custody, not ordinary local jail booking. |
| BOP locator | First, middle, last name, race, sex, age | Last name for name search | For federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| ICE locator | A-number or name, country of birth, birth date | Depends on search path | For ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours. |
Perry County Inmate Record Fields
The county's public online profile fields could not be inspected. Mississippi law still supports a jail-docket concept. Miss. Code Section 47-1-21 requires each county sheriff to keep an alphabetical jail docket with identifying and custody/accounting details. A public copy may be redacted, and some law-enforcement material may be withheld, but these are the fields to request when a web roster does not exist.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person booked or held in Perry County custody. |
| Age or date of birth | Identity confirmation; DOB may be redacted in public copies. |
| Race/color and sex | Fields named in the jail-docket statute. |
| Booking or commitment date | The date the person was committed to the jail. |
| Charge or hold reason | Booking charge, warrant, sentence, detainer, or commitment basis. |
| Bond and court | Bond type or amount if set and the court linked to the charge. |
| Discharge date | Release, transfer, or other jail discharge date. |
| Fines, costs, and jail fees | Accounting entries referenced by Mississippi's jail-docket language. |
Perry County Jail Facility
Perry County's facility map is small. No official city jail, regional jail, MDOC state prison, BOP facility, or ICE detention facility was found physically inside Perry County. The primary local detention point is the Perry County Jail / Perry Co MS Detention Center, operated by the sheriff's department. The Tiger Commissary vendor page confirms the Perry Co MS Detention Center label and shows Web Deposits and Order Commissary services.

Perry County Booking Process
Perry County-specific booking steps were not published in detail. Based on the research file's Mississippi and local jail summary, arrest may occur by warrant, warrantless probable cause, or court order. The arrestee is transported to the sheriff or jail, identified, searched, and booked. The jail may collect name, date of birth, address, physical identifiers, fingerprints, photograph, property inventory, arresting agency, arresting officer, charge or hold reason, and bond or court information.
Mississippi state-prison intake is different. MDOC's FAQ says newly arriving state inmates are searched, issued clean clothing, fingerprinted, photographed, given a picture ID card, and evaluated by classification, mental health, medical, and education staff. Reception/classification can take two weeks to 45 days. During that period, MDOC limits visits and phone calls. A Perry County arrestee does not follow that state process unless sentenced and transferred.
Initial appearance and bond are court-driven. Mississippi criminal rules govern the first appearance after arrest, where the judge addresses the charge, rights, counsel, probable cause, bond, and later court settings. The formal court charge may differ from the arrest charge, so custody records and court records should be checked separately.
Perry County Jail vs MDOC
Use the county jail channel for local custody and the MDOC locator for state prison custody. Do not assume a person is still at the jail after sentencing. Perry County is in south Mississippi, and MDOC's reception/classification process for southern counties points to South Mississippi Correctional Institution as a regional reference, but MDOC should confirm the person's facility.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Perry County arrest | Sheriff phone or in-person inquiry | Booking, current custody, release, transfer, bond, local holds |
| Past county booking | Public-records request to sheriff | Jail docket entry, booking sheet, non-exempt custody records |
| Sentenced state inmate | MDOC inmate search | State prison assignment, MDOC ID, custody details where public |
| Custody notifications | Mississippi VINELink | Status and notification registration |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP, USMS, or ICE | Federal sentence, marshal custody, or immigration detention |
Perry County Jail Visitation Rules
Local Perry County visitation rules were not found in official county sources. No published local schedule, visitor ID rule, dress code, video-visit vendor, or lobby hour block was located on the sheriff page. Call 601-964-8461 before travel and ask whether the person is still housed locally, whether visits are allowed, what ID is required, what property is banned, and whether visits must be scheduled.
| Topic | Published Local Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation schedule | Not located in official county source | Call the sheriff before travel |
| Visitor ID and dress code | Not located in official county source | Ask what ID and clothing rules apply |
| Mail address format | Not located in official county source | Confirm inmate name, ID, and mailing format first |
| Commissary/deposits | Web Deposits and Order Commissary shown by Tiger Commissary | Confirm custody and fees before sending money |
MDOC visitation rules are more detailed but apply to state prisons, not the Perry County Jail. MDOC requires an approved visitation list, valid photo ID for adult visitors, limits on the number of visitors at one time, searches, and strict clothing rules. Use those rules only after a person has transferred to state custody.
Perry County Commissary and Money
The Tiger Commissary page identifies Perry Co MS Detention Center in New Augusta and offers two services: Web Deposits and Order Commissary. Web Deposits place money on an inmate trust account. Order Commissary lets a purchaser order commissary for shipment to an inmate. The landing page did not publish a complete fee schedule, deposit limit, or inmate-ID rule in the research capture.
Before using the vendor, call the sheriff to confirm the person is still housed in Perry County and ask whether Tiger is the correct channel for that person. Transfers can happen quickly. Sending funds after a release or transfer may delay access to the money or require customer support.
The Tiger Commissary Perry County page is the source captured for the local deposit channel.
VINELink and Perry County Custody
Mississippi VINE is available for custody-status and notification registration. MDOC's MS SAVIN page says users may register through VINELink, call 601-359-5759 during standard business hours, call toll-free 1-888-9-MSSAVIN for 24-hour representative help, or use TTY 866-847-1298. VINELink can be useful after the first custody confirmation, especially when release or transfer alerts matter.
The Mississippi VINELink portal is a statewide notification tool. It does not erase the need to call Perry County for a very recent arrest, and it does not replace MDOC, BOP, or ICE locators for people outside the local jail system.
