Winston County Jail Roster Status
No official Winston County sheriff-hosted jail roster, current-inmate search page, booking report, or public mugshot gallery was located on the official county or sheriff pages. The Winston County Sheriff page lists Sheriff Mike Perkins, the sheriff's office contact information, and links to the MDOC inmate search. That is a meaningful local fact. Winston County inmate records cannot be treated as if a live county roster is available when the official research found no such page.
For a person recently arrested in Winston County, the first lookup path is a phone or records-contact path. The Winston County Sheriff can be reached at 662-773-5881 for sheriff arrest and booking questions. Winston-Choctaw County Regional Correctional Facility can be reached at 662-773-2528 for custody questions at the regional facility. Louisville Police Department can be reached at 662-773-3511 when the arrest began with city police. For court filings after booking, Justice Court and Circuit Clerk records become important.
The sheriff page also points readers toward state resources instead of a local booking screen. That makes the Winston County inmate records workflow more dependent on knowing whether the person is newly booked, sentenced, released, or transferred. A family member asking about a same-day arrest should not start with federal or state prison systems unless the case is known to be federal or the person already has MDOC status. A researcher looking for an older charge should not treat a jail custody call as the final court record.
Local roster finding: Winston County official pages did not publish a local web roster, so phone, clerk, MDOC, VINE, BOP, and ICE channels carry more of the search work.
Use Winston County Inmate Records
A Winston County inmate lookup should begin with the most recent known event. A fresh arrest is different from a sentenced MDOC inmate. A city police arrest is different from a federal sentence. A bond question is different from a court-record question. The most reliable search flow uses the custody stage first, then the official system that covers that stage.
- For a new arrest, call the arresting agency or holding facility: sheriff, WCCRCF, or Louisville Police.
- Ask for the correct spelling, custody location, arresting agency, and whether bond has been set.
- For sentenced or MDOC-classified custody, search MDOC Inmate Search or the alternate MS.GOV MDOC search.
- For status alerts, use Mississippi VINE after confirming the person is in an eligible custody path.
- For federal or immigration custody, search BOP or ICE instead of the county jail path.
- For filed charges, contact Justice Court, Circuit Clerk, the county record portal, or Mississippi Electronic Courts.
Winston County Locator Fields
The research did not locate a county roster search-field table because no official local roster was found. The available field inventory comes from MDOC. MDOC fields are useful for state inmates, sentenced inmates, and people in MDOC custody at a regional facility. They should not be read as a substitute for every Winston County booking record.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | No | Use with last name to reduce false matches. |
| Last Name | Text | No | Primary name-search field in the MDOC locator. |
| MDOC ID Number | Text | No | Use the exact state corrections ID when known. |
| Search Criteria | Radio | Yes in MS.GOV path | The alternate MS.GOV form uses Name or ID Number. |
The MDOC search interface is one of the official images captured for Winston County research.
The state search fields are most useful after a person has entered MDOC custody or has an MDOC ID number.
Winston County Inmate Record Fields
Because the county did not publish a standard official roster profile, local booking fields have to be requested or confirmed through the office that holds them. A caller should be ready to ask whether each field is public, whether an exemption applies, and whether a court file has replaced or clarified the booking record. MDOC profiles and court records answer different questions.
| Field | What It Shows in Winston County |
|---|---|
| Name | Identity in sheriff, WCCRCF, court, Justice Court, Louisville Police, or MDOC records. |
| Booking date | Not published in a located official county roster; ask sheriff or WCCRCF if it is public. |
| Booking number | No official online Winston booking-number format was located. |
| Charges | Booking charge from custody agency; filed charge from Justice Court or Circuit Court. |
| Bond | Confirmed through jail, Justice Court, Circuit Court, or the court that set release terms. |
| Facility | WCCRCF for regional custody or MDOC profile for state custody. |
| Mugshot | No official Winston mugshot roster located; MDOC profiles may show offender photos when available. |
Winston County Jail vs MDOC
Winston-Choctaw County Regional Correctional Facility holds state and county inmates, so a Winston County inmate record can sit in more than one official system. A newly arrested person may be known first to the sheriff, Louisville Police, WCCRCF, Justice Court, or Circuit Clerk. A sentenced person may be searched by MDOC ID. A federal defendant or immigration detainee will not be fully covered by a county or MDOC search.
| Custody Question | Where to Look | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh county arrest | Sheriff, WCCRCF, or Louisville Police | Official county web roster was not located. |
| Sentenced state inmate | Mississippi Department of Corrections locator | MDOC uses name and ID-number search paths. |
| Status notification | Mississippi VINE | VINE can send custody-status alerts but is not a full roster. |
| Federal inmate | Federal BOP locator | BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE search uses A-number/country or biographical data. |
Winston County Jail Facilities
Winston County's detention map has one primary regional facility and one city police contact. WCCRCF is the main facility for custody confirmation and is the page to use for regional facility details. Louisville Police Department is an arresting agency and possible short-term police custody contact, not a separate public long-term jail roster.

Booking Process in Winston County
The official sheriff page does not publish a step-by-step booking manual. A careful Winston County booking workflow starts with arrest by the sheriff, Louisville Police, MHP, or another agency, then transport to the proper detention or court-processing point. Standard jail intake can include identity verification, warrant and hold checks, property inventory, fingerprinting, a booking photo, medical screening, classification, and housing assignment.
Classification matters at WCCRCF because the facility holds state and county inmates and MDOC lists medium and minimum non-community custody. A person may be a local pretrial detainee, a county inmate, or an MDOC inmate housed regionally. The first public trace may be a phone confirmation, a Justice Court matter, a Circuit Court filing, or a later MDOC profile. Charge terms can also change as a prosecutor files, amends, or dismisses counts.
Winston County Visitation Rules
No official WCCRCF visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, dress code, locker rule, or mail format was located on the county WCCRCF page. MDOC cautions that regional county prisons are locally administered and may use different providers. For WCCRCF, the correct instruction is to call the facility before traveling, mailing property, scheduling a visit, or sending funds.
| Topic | Winston County / MDOC Research Finding |
|---|---|
| WCCRCF schedule | No official local schedule found; call 662-773-2528. |
| Approved visitor list | MDOC rules say persons not on an approved list are not allowed to visit state inmates. |
| Adult ID | MDOC rules require valid picture ID for visitors 18 and older. |
| Visit size | MDOC rules limit visits to no more than five persons including children. |
| Regional caveat | Regional facilities may follow local administration and providers. |
Contact Winston County Inmates
Mail, phone, and money rules should be confirmed with WCCRCF before use because no WCCRCF-specific mail format, commissary fee table, or money-deposit vendor was located in official county material. MDOC's phone and money pages are useful for state-operated and private facilities, but MDOC also notes that regional county prisons may use different services.
| Service | Documented Rule or Contact |
|---|---|
| Facility mail | Use the inmate's full name and ID or booking identifier if available, but confirm format with WCCRCF. |
| MDOC money | MDOC money page names Premier.Services and Western Union for MDOC institutional facilities. |
| Phone service | MDOC phone page lists account numbers and warns regional facilities may differ. |
| VINE alerts | Use Mississippi VINE for notification when a custody record is available there. |
Note: Confirm custody and facility rules before sending money, mail, or visit requests to WCCRCF.
Request Winston County Jail Records
When a Winston County inmate record is not online, the request should go to the office that maintains the record. For sheriff arrest reports and local booking information, start with the Winston County Sheriff at 136 South Court Avenue in the county annex. For custody at WCCRCF, call the facility and ask what identifier, written request, or fee is needed before submitting a records request. For Louisville Police arrests, start with the police department because that agency may hold the initial incident or arrest report.
Mississippi public-records law supports inspection unless an exemption applies, but it does not guarantee instant online access. Ask for the exact record by name, date of arrest, arresting agency, and record type. If the answer involves filed charges, bond orders, indictments, or docket books, move the request to Justice Court or the Circuit Clerk instead of asking the jail to interpret the court file.
