Why This Site Exists
Mississippi treats many jail, court, and custody records as public records, but the records are not kept in one place. A person booked into Prentiss County Jail is handled through local custody channels, while a person sentenced to state custody is searched through the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Federal and immigration custody use still different lookup systems. This site organizes those public paths so a reader can understand which record type they need before starting a search.
