Perry County Jail Overview
Perry County Jail / Perry Co MS Detention Center is operated by the Perry County Sheriff's Department under Sheriff Jacob Garner. The official sheriff page gives the public department address as 103 S. Main St, New Augusta, MS 39462, and phone 601-964-8461. The Mississippi Sheriffs' Association directory gives the Perry County mailing address as P.O. Box 228, New Augusta, MS 39462, with the same phone number and fax 601-964-8748.
The county did not publish a separate jail street address, public bed capacity, intake lobby hours, visitation schedule, booking desk number, accreditation status, or daily population dashboard during research. The Tiger Commissary vendor page confirms the facility label as Perry Co MS Detention Center in New Augusta and shows Web Deposits and Order Commissary services.
Perry County Jail Capacity Gaps
Official capacity and current population figures were not located for Perry County Jail. No county jail population dashboard, BJS county table, Jail Data Initiative count, or MDOC facility listing provided a local bed count or average daily population. That absence should be preserved rather than replaced with unsupported numbers.
For a current count, call the sheriff's office and ask what can be confirmed. For a person-specific record, request a jail docket entry or booking sheet and identify the person, booking date, and arresting agency.
Look Up Perry County Jail Inmates
No official online Perry County jail roster was found. The jail lookup path therefore starts with phone or in-person confirmation through the sheriff's office. If the person has been sentenced to Mississippi state custody, use the MDOC locator instead. If federal or immigration custody is possible, use the BOP locator, ICE locator, and U.S. Marshals Southern District contacts.
- Call 601-964-8461 and ask for a current custody check at Perry County Jail.
- Give the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, and arresting agency or town.
- Ask whether the person is booked locally, released, transferred to MDOC, held for another county, or held for federal or ICE authorities.
- Ask whether bond is set and which court controls the next appearance.
- If details cannot be released by phone, ask how to file a public-records request for a jail docket entry or booking sheet.
For a fuller roster workflow, use the Perry County inmate records page. It separates local jail custody from MDOC, VINELink, BOP, and ICE search paths.

Visiting Perry County Jail
Local visitation rules for Perry County Jail were not located in official county sources. No schedule, visitor application, dress code, video-visit vendor, or visitor parking rule was published on the sheriff page during research. Call before travel and ask whether the person is still housed locally, whether visits are available, and what ID and property rules apply.
| Visitation Topic | Published Local Detail | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule | Not located | Call 601-964-8461 before travel. |
| Visitor ID | Not located | Bring government photo ID unless told otherwise. |
| Dress code | Not located | Ask for current jail rules before arriving. |
| Video visits | Not located | Ask whether video or in-person visits are available. |
| Property | Not located | Avoid phones, bags, weapons, tobacco, and unnecessary property. |
MDOC visitation rules are stricter and apply after state transfer. MDOC requires inmate-initiated visiting applications, approved visitor lists, photo ID, searches, and detailed dress-code rules. Those rules should not be applied to Perry County Jail unless the local jail confirms a similar policy.
Mail, Phone, and Money
Perry County did not publish a local inmate-mail format, jail phone vendor, or video vendor in the sources reviewed. The sheriff association gives P.O. Box 228 for the sheriff's mailing address, but inmate mail should not be sent there unless staff confirms the exact format. Ask for the inmate name format, ID or booking number requirements, allowed items, and return-address rules before mailing.
Tiger Commissary confirms local online services for Perry Co MS Detention Center. The captured vendor page shows Web Deposits and Order Commissary, but the landing page did not publish a full fee table, deposit limit, or delivery rule in the research notes.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Local Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Format not published in official county source | Call before sending anything. | |
| Phone or messaging | Local vendor not located | Ask staff how calls are set up. |
| Money deposit | Tiger Commissary Web Deposits | Confirm custody and fees first. |
| Commissary order | Tiger Commissary Order Commissary | Confirm the person is still housed locally. |

Booking at Perry County Jail
Perry County did not publish a detailed booking manual. The research supports the standard local jail path: arrest by warrant, probable cause, or court order; transport to the sheriff or jail; search and identification; property inventory; charge or hold entry; and later court review. The jail may collect fingerprints, a photograph, physical identifiers, arresting agency, booking charge, bond information, and release or transfer status.
Mississippi's jail-docket law supports records containing name, age, race or color, sex, commitment date, sentence or time data, fines and costs, jail fees, and discharge date. If a person was booked but no online record exists, ask for the jail docket entry and booking sheet under the Mississippi Public Records Act.
Perry County Jail Bond
No Perry County jail bond page was located. Call the sheriff to confirm the person is booked and ask whether bond has been set. Then ask which court set the bond, whether the jail accepts payment or paperwork after hours, and whether another hold blocks release. Circuit Court fines owed to Perry County Circuit Court may be handled through the Circuit Clerk under the payment instructions on that office's page.
| Bond Issue | Question to Ask |
|---|---|
| Bond amount | Has a judge set bond, and what type? |
| Posting location | Does the jail, court, or clerk receive payment or paperwork? |
| After-hours release | Is posting available after business hours? |
| Holds | Are there probation, parole, another county, MDOC, federal, or ICE holds? |
Transfers From Perry County Jail
A person may leave Perry County Jail through release on bond, sentence completion, transfer to MDOC, transfer to another county, federal custody, ICE custody, hospital transport, or court order. The first local call should ask whether the person is still physically housed in New Augusta. If staff reports a transfer to MDOC, use the MDOC inmate search by name or MDOC ID number.
No BOP, ICE, or U.S. Marshals detention facility was found physically in Perry County. Federal defendants from Perry County are in the Southern District of Mississippi. The Hattiesburg U.S. Marshals courthouse contact listed in the research is at 701 North Main Street, Suite 331, Hattiesburg, with phone 601-582-8464.
Perry County Jail Records Requests
The sheriff page did not publish a dedicated records request form. Under the Mississippi Public Records Act, non-exempt records can be requested from the public body that keeps them. For jail records, call the sheriff first and ask how the office accepts requests for jail docket entries, booking sheets, incident or offense reports, or booking photographs.
A written request should identify the person, booking date, approximate arresting agency, record type, and requester contact information. Ask whether prepayment of actual search, review, redaction, or copy costs is required. For booking photos, ask for the photograph specifically and request the booking sheet if the photo is withheld.
