Issaquena County Jail Roster Overview
No official Issaquena County online jail roster, booking report, recent-arrest list, inmate search portal, or mugshot gallery was located on official county or sheriff pages. The official sheriff contact is Sheriff Waye Windham, also listed in the Mississippi Secretary of State directory as Donald Wayne Windham Jr., at P.O. Box 147 in Mayersville. The sheriff phone number is 662-873-2781. The main facility contact is separate: Issaquena County Correctional Facility at 22746 MS-1, Mayersville, 662-873-2153.
That means the answer to "how do I find someone in the Issaquena County jail" is not a simple roster link. Start with the facility for current custody questions, then contact the sheriff for local arrest, booking, transport, warrant, or records questions. Use the MDOC inmate search for sentenced state custody or MDOC-supervised inmates. Use VINELink Mississippi for notification and custody-status alerts. Use the BOP inmate locator for sentenced federal inmates and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
How to Confirm Someone Is Held Locally
Because no official county roster is posted, the practical lookup path is a contact-and-records workflow. Have the person's full legal name, date of birth, approximate arrest date, arresting agency if known, and any case or warrant number. Very recent arrests may not appear in MDOC because MDOC is a state correctional system, not a county booking feed.
- Call Issaquena County Correctional Facility at 662-873-2153 for current facility custody and visiting-status questions.
- Call the Issaquena County Sheriff's Department at 662-873-2781 for local arrest, transport, warrant, booking, or sheriff-held record questions.
- Search the MDOC locator if the person may be sentenced, transferred, or held in a regional facility under MDOC supervision.
- For charges after arrest, contact Circuit Clerk Ronda Delaney at P.O. Box 27, Mayersville, 662-873-2761, or use MEC/PAMEC where available.
- Check VINELink Mississippi for victim notification and custody-status updates when the person is listed in that system.
- For federal or immigration custody, search BOP, contact the U.S. Marshals Southern District of Mississippi for federal pretrial custody questions, or search ICE ODLS.
The official MDOC inmate search page is the statewide search tool most likely to help once a person is sentenced or in MDOC-supervised custody.
For Issaquena County, this screen matters because the county's primary correctional facility is reported through MDOC regional-facility materials, while the sheriff does not publish a separate county-only roster online.
Issaquena County Roster Search Fields
An official Issaquena County roster form was not located, so there are no county roster fields to list for a local portal. The only official search-field inventory captured for an inmate lookup was the MDOC locator. MDOC says users may enter a name or an MDOC ID number and click Search. The ID number is the strongest exact-match field when it is known.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Optional | Use with last name to narrow a name search. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Useful for broad name searches, but common names may return multiple people. |
| MDOC ID Number | Text | Optional | Best for an exact state-custody match if the identifier is known. |
| Search | Submit | Not applicable | Runs the MDOC search after a name or ID number is entered. |
What an Issaquena County Inmate Record Shows
No official Issaquena County booking profile could be inspected because no official county roster was found. Do not assume a public local profile will show a photo, bond, housing unit, court date, arrest number, or release date. For local custody, those details must be confirmed with the facility, the sheriff, the court clerk, or a written public-records request. MDOC results are different because they are state correctional records, not county booking sheets.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| MDOC number and suffix | State correctional identifier used for MDOC records and exact lookup. |
| Name and date of birth | Identity fields returned in the state result data. |
| Race, sex, and physical description | Race and sex codes or text, plus height, weight, complexion, build, eye color, hair color, and hair type when available. |
| Status and dates | Release/status type such as ACTIVE, entry date when available, location change date, and tentative release date when available. |
| Location group and unit | State location group or unit, which may identify the MDOC setting rather than a county booking area. |
| Sentence and offense fields | Number of sentences, total sentence length, offense fields, conviction county, and sentence date. |
| Mugshot or photo | The inspected MDOC data included a path value, but no public photo was confirmed in the text inspection, so a photo should not be promised. |
Finding County, State, and Federal Inmates
Issaquena County has one official detention facility in the research map: Issaquena County Correctional Facility. It is a regional correctional facility tied to the sheriff's office and MDOC regional-facility framework. A person arrested locally may begin in local custody, appear in justice or circuit court, and later move into MDOC custody after sentencing. Federal and immigration custody use separate systems and should not be treated as missing from the county roster.
| Custody | Where to Look |
|---|---|
| Local arrest, booking, or short-term custody | Call Issaquena County Correctional Facility at 662-873-2153 and the sheriff at 662-873-2781. |
| Sentenced Mississippi custody | Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search. |
| Federal sentenced custody | Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. |
| Federal pretrial custody | Contact the U.S. Marshals Southern District of Mississippi if BOP does not show the person. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System. |
| Victim notification | VINELink Mississippi. |
No official Issaquena County Sheriff's Department mobile app was located. No app-only roster, warrant search, most-wanted list, crime map, push-alert system, or tip feature was found in the official source sweep.
Issaquena County Jail Facilities
Issaquena County's facility list is compact: the official detention facility for this project is Issaquena County Correctional Facility. MDOC lists it as a regional facility, and the 2022 PREA audit describes it as an adult male, medium-custody operation. The facility was listed with designed capacity of 328 in the 2022 PREA audit and in the MDOC February 2026 fact sheet. Current online records did not identify a separate city jail, BOP facility, ICE detention center, independent county jail roster site, or sheriff app in Issaquena County.

Booking Process in Issaquena County
Official Issaquena-specific booking steps were not published online. A typical Mississippi local arrest involves transport to the jail or regional facility, identity confirmation, warrant and hold checks, property inventory, medical or mental-health screening, fingerprinting and photographing if booked, and temporary classification. The PREA audit confirms the facility uses PREA intake, education, reporting, and response procedures for its adult male population.
New bookings may not appear in any online county system because no official county roster was located. A family member trying to confirm a very recent arrest should call the facility and sheriff before relying on MDOC. Court records begin on a separate track after arrest. Booking charges are law-enforcement custody data; filed charges are controlled by the prosecutor and court and may be amended, reduced, dismissed, or replaced as the case moves forward.
Visitation Hours and Rules
A facility-specific visitation schedule for Issaquena County Correctional Facility was not located in official online sources. MDOC's general family and friends materials say inmates initiate visitation by sending an Application for Visiting Privileges to proposed visitors, who then complete and mail the application as directed. A 2025 news report said visitation was suspended after shots were fired at the front of the facility, so callers should verify current status directly before traveling to Mayersville.
| Facility or Program | Published Schedule | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Issaquena County Correctional Facility | Not located in official online sources | Call 662-873-2153 before planning a visit. |
| MDOC general visitation | Application process required, initiated by the inmate | Use MDOC family/friends instructions and facility directions. |
The MDOC family and friends page explains the statewide visitor-application process used for MDOC custody settings.
For Issaquena County Correctional Facility, that general MDOC process should be paired with a direct phone confirmation because the research did not find a local schedule online.
How to Contact an Issaquena County Inmate
Facility mail should be directed to the facility mailing address when the facility confirms the proper format: P.O. Box 220, Mayersville, MS 39113. Include the person's full name and MDOC or booking identifier if known. The physical address, 22746 MS-1, Mayersville, should be used for locating the facility, not assumed to be the mail format unless staff confirms it. Official sources did not publish local phone, video, or mail vendor fee schedules.
MDOC records questions are routed differently. The MDOC contact page lists MDOC Records at P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, 601-933-2889, and MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us for records department contact. MDOC's public-records page says requests to examine, copy, or obtain public records must be in writing and are not accepted by telephone.
For local booking information that is not answered by a phone inquiry, Mississippi's Public Records Act supports requests for identifiable nonexempt records. A request should name the person, the approximate booking or arrest date, the agency involved, and the specific record sought. Send sheriff-held requests to the sheriff's office and MDOC-held requests to MDOC, because one agency may not control records created by the other.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Official Issaquena-specific commissary limits, kiosk rules, phone charges, video fees, and deposit fees were not located. For MDOC inmate banking, MDOC says money transfers are accepted online at Premier.Services and in person at Western Union Agent Locations. Vendor pages may list additional facility options, but they should be verified with the facility before funds are sent.
