No Official Warren County Jail Roster Online
The Warren County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail in Vicksburg, yet its official pages post no public jail roster. Sheriff Martin Pace's page lists the office address, a phone line, and the chief deputy. It links the Mississippi Sex Offender Registry, Mississippi Most Wanted, FBI Most Wanted, Amber Alert details, and online driver-license renewal. It does not publish a booking search, an inmate list, bond figures, or release dates. So a name-by-name Warren County jail roster search is not available the way it is in some larger counties.
That gap shapes how you find someone in custody here. The quickest official answer comes by phone, not by a web screen. State prison records sit in a separate system run by the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Custody and court alerts run through a statewide notification service. Each tool covers a different stage, from a fresh county booking to a sentenced state inmate.
The same Warren County Sheriff page lists Chief Deputy Bobby Stewart at the Grove Street office and the main jail phone line. Both point you to the same starting place for current custody. The page is built for safety links and contact details, not for a searchable booking database.
No verified third-party jail site fills this gap. Those pages copy stale data and charge fees for it. Stick to the county, the state, and official notification tools for any Warren County inmate search.
How to Check Warren County Inmate Custody
Finding a Warren County inmate works best as a short sequence. Start local, then widen to state tools if the person has been sentenced or moved. Each step below points to an official source rather than a paid lookup.
- Call the Warren County Sheriff's Office and jail at 601-636-1761 to confirm whether the person is in county custody, and ask for the booking number.
- Search the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate and parolee database when the person may already be in state custody or under supervision.
- Register with Mississippi VINE to receive custody and court alerts as the case moves through the system.
- For a city arrest, check the Vicksburg Police weekly arrest reports, while remembering these are not a live custody list.
- Use the booking number from the jail to confirm bond, charges, and the next court date.
Call the Warren County Sheriff and Jail
The Sheriff's Office is the front door for current county custody. Staff can confirm whether a person was booked, share a booking number, and explain bond and visitation steps. Public office hours cover weekdays, though the jail itself runs around the clock for intake and release.
Have the full legal name and date of birth ready before you call. A booking number speeds every later request, from bond to a copy of charges. The office is also the place to verify visitation and mail rules, since those are not posted online.
Warren County Sheriff's Office
1000 Grove Street
Vicksburg, MS 39183-2539
601-636-1761
Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Note: Booking and release run 24 hours a day even though the public office keeps weekday hours, so call ahead to confirm timing.
MDOC Search for Warren County State Inmates
Once a Warren County case ends in a prison sentence, the inmate usually moves into state custody. The Mississippi Department of Corrections keeps a public inmate search and a separate parolee search for that stage of a case.
You can open the inmate and parolee tools on the Mississippi Department of Corrections homepage, which carries both search fields and a public records link.
The MDOC screen pairs a name search with an offender ID search for sentenced and supervised people. MDOC tells users to enter the name or the ID number, then click search. The database covers people sentenced to state prison or under state supervision, which may not include someone arrested in Warren County only hours ago.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | No | Used on both inmate and parolee searches. |
| Last Name | Text | No | MDOC says enter the name or the ID number. |
| MDOC ID Number | Text | No | Numeric offender ID path; works without a name. |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs the lookup once a name or ID is entered. |
MDOC also runs statewide corrections programs that show up in its news, from faith-based graduations to commercial driver training at its regional facilities. Those updates confirm the agency, not the county, holds people after sentencing.
Mississippi VINE for Custody Notifications
Mississippi VINE is the statewide victim information and notification service. It tracks custody status and case events, then alerts registered users by phone, email, or text. For Warren County families, VINE fills part of the gap left by the missing online roster.
Registration and search start on the Mississippi VINE custody and notification portal, which serves the whole state.
VINE is built for alerts, not deep record searches, so its public screens did not expose detailed search fields during review. Register a contact method and let the system push updates rather than expecting a full booking profile. Any custody confirmation through VINE should still be double-checked with the Warren County jail by phone. The service is free, and one sign-up can track the same person from a county booking to a state prison transfer.
What a Warren County Inmate Profile Should Show
Because Warren County posts no online profile page, the fields below describe what a county booking record normally holds, not a live screen you can open today. Jail staff can read these details over the phone, and a sentenced inmate's data appears in the MDOC search. Treat the table as a guide to what to ask for when you call.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Number | The unique ID assigned at intake that anchors every later request. |
| Name and Date of Birth | The legal name and birth date used to confirm identity. |
| Booking Date | The date and time the person entered custody. |
| Charges | The offenses listed at booking, which can change as the case proceeds. |
| Bond Amount | The dollar figure or conditions set for release, if any. |
| Housing or Status | The unit or custody status while the person is held. |
| Court Date | The next scheduled appearance tied to the case. |
Note: Booking charges are an officer's intake list, so they are not the same as the formal charges the District Attorney later files in court.
Vicksburg Arrest Reports Are Not a Jail Roster
The Vicksburg Police Department posts weekly arrest reports as downloadable PDFs. The archive runs through 2024 and 2025 and gives a public window into recent city arrests. It is a report archive, not a live jail roster.
The listing shows report titles, date ranges, file icons, and file sizes. It has no name search box, no booking number lookup, no bond field, and no current location for anyone listed. A name in a past weekly report does not prove someone is in custody today. For that, call the jail or check VINE. The reports come from the city police, which is separate from the county Sheriff who runs the Warren County jail.
City of Vicksburg arrests and county arrests can also land in different courts. A city citation often runs through Municipal Court, while a county or felony arrest moves toward Justice Court and Circuit Court. Knowing which agency made the arrest helps you guess where a Warren County inmate will be held and which clerk will hold the case file.
Warren County Jail Visitation and Mail Rules
Warren County did not publish a jail visitation schedule, a mail policy, or a commissary vendor in the official sources reviewed. So no fixed day-and-time schedule can be printed here in good faith. The honest step is to call the jail and confirm the current rules before you visit, mail, or send money.
When you reach the Sheriff's Office at 601-636-1761, ask about each of these points so you arrive prepared:
- Visit days and times, and whether visits are on-site or by video
- Required photo ID, and whether minors may visit and with whom
- Dress code and the rules for attorney visits
- Inmate mail address format and any booking-number requirement
- Commissary and deposit vendor, plus accepted money methods
- Phone or video provider used by the jail
- Lockdown, holiday, or weather changes to the schedule
The table below sums up what the official record does confirm and what each detail means for your next call.
| Topic | Confirmed Detail | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Jail phone | Sheriff and jail line 601-636-1761 | Call before visiting, mailing, sending money, or posting bond. |
| Jail address | 1000 Grove Street, Vicksburg, MS 39183-2539 | Confirm whether mail uses this address, a P.O. box, or a vendor. |
| Office hours | Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. | Verify intake and visit timing, which may run on a 24-hour basis. |
| Online roster | No official Warren County roster found | Use the phone, VINE, or MDOC depending on the custody stage. |
| State custody | MDOC inmate and parolee search | Use after sentencing or transfer to state custody. |
Booking Information vs Court Charges
A booking record and a court charge record are two different things. The jail logs an arrest and the offenses an officer lists at intake. The prosecutor, working with the court, decides which charges are actually filed, amended, reduced, or dropped. Those filed charges drive the case, not the booking sheet.
This matters when you read what a jail or a report shows. Booking charges can look severe and still change within days. The District Attorney files the formal counts, and the final charges live in the court file. For the charges a prosecutor brings after an arrest, see the Warren County court charge records. The full case file, with pleas, disposition, and sentence, sits in the criminal court records.
Treat a booking charge as a starting point, not a verdict. A Warren County inmate may be held on one set of offenses at the jail and face a different set once the court file opens.
Sex Offender Registry and Most Wanted Links
The Sheriff's page does point the public to several official safety tools even though it skips a jail roster. These cover registered offenders and wanted persons rather than current jail bookings.
The Mississippi Sex Offender Registry lets residents search by name and area and sign up for alerts about local offenders. The Sheriff also links Mississippi Most Wanted and FBI Most Wanted for active fugitive cases. None of these is a custody roster, but together they round out the public safety picture for Warren County. They also pull from state and federal sources, so the data reaches well beyond the county line.
App Check for Warren County Inmate Lookup
Mobile apps are an easy place to expect an inmate search, so the City of Vicksburg app deserves a direct check. It is the only local government app found for the area.
The listing for that app sits on the City of Vicksburg Google Play page, which spells out exactly what the app does.
The City of Vicksburg app advertises service requests, online payments, mobile alerts, meeting agendas, and event listings. It does not offer a jail roster, an inmate lookup, or a warrant search. No Warren County Sheriff app exists at all. For custody questions, the phone line, MDOC, and VINE stay the official tools.
