Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility Inmate Lookup

Tallahatchie Facility Overview

CoreCivic's facility page identifies Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility as a medium-security facility in Tutwiler. CoreCivic operates it for the Tallahatchie County Correctional Authority and contract customers. That operating model matters for inmate lookup. A person held in the building may be a Tallahatchie County jail detainee, a Hinds County detainee, a U.S. Marshals Service detainee, an ICE detainee, a Mississippi or out-of-state prisoner, or someone held for another customer agency.

The facility page lists customers that include Montana Department of Corrections, Vermont Department of Corrections, Wyoming Department of Corrections, Hinds County, Tallahatchie County, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the U.S. Virgin Islands Bureau of Corrections. The January 2026 visitor and contact PDF also separates visiting schedules for USMS, state inmates, and county jail inmates. Those source details point to a custody-routing problem, not just a missing roster.

The official CoreCivic page displays the facility, address, phone, customer base, and family-resource links. The captured facility screenshot from CoreCivic's Tallahatchie facility source is included here because it matches the subject of this facility page.

The image is useful as a source cue, but custody status still has to be confirmed through the correct agency or locator.

Tallahatchie Facility Capacity

CoreCivic investor releases identify Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility as a 2,672-bed facility. Use that number as a facility design or contract capacity figure, not as the current Tallahatchie County jail population. The research did not locate a county dashboard, daily population report, or official public roster that publishes the current county-only count.

This distinction is central. The bed count belongs to the large private contract facility. The Tallahatchie County inmate population is only one part of the people who may be housed there. Hinds County detainees, USMS detainees, ICE detainees, Montana prisoners, Vermont prisoners, Wyoming prisoners, U.S. Virgin Islands prisoners, and other agency populations should not be counted as local Tallahatchie County arrests unless the source says that is their custody basis.

Who Is Held There

Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility serves several legal statuses under one roof. A county jail detainee is usually a person held after a local arrest, while a sentenced state prisoner is held under a corrections department after conviction and sentence. A USMS detainee is tied to federal court or transport custody. An ICE detainee is held under immigration authority. A detainer is a hold or request from another agency that can block release even when a local bond appears available.

Search Tallahatchie Facility Inmates

No official Tallahatchie County public jail roster was located during research. For a recent Tallahatchie County arrest, begin with the Tallahatchie County Sheriff's Office or the facility. Ask whether the person is booked as a county jail detainee, held for Hinds County, held for USMS, held for ICE, moved into state prison custody, or released. That answer controls the next search.

1. Collect the person's full legal name, date of birth, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and any case or booking number.
2. Call the sheriff's office for local arrest and jail docket routing, or call Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility for custody and visiting direction.
3. Search MDOC for sentenced Mississippi prisoners, BOP for federal sentenced records, ICE ODLS for immigration custody, and VINE for status alerts.
4. File a Mississippi Public Records Act request for county booking, jail docket, release, or commitment records that are not published online.

Mississippi Public Records Act materials and Mississippi's jail docket statute support asking the custodian for jail records. A request should name the person, date range, arresting agency, and the record sought. For Tallahatchie County jail detainees, ask for booking, commitment, hold, release, and jail docket information.

Tallahatchie Facility Contact

The facility phone is the practical starting point for visiting, mail format, and custody-routing questions at Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility. The sheriff's office is the county law-enforcement contact for Tallahatchie County jail records, but CoreCivic operates the detention building. Avoid assuming the same person or desk controls every record for every custody group.

Visit Tallahatchie Facility Inmates

The January 2026 CoreCivic PDF says visitors must be approved before visiting. Call 662-345-6567, extension 24001, for current approval and visitation instructions. USMS family members must contact the facility at least seven days before the requested visit. If all required information is submitted, approval should take less than one month, and the approval or denial goes to the inmate or detainee.

Adults need a valid state-issued photo ID. Minors must be supervised by an adult unless emancipated and need proof of age by birth certificate. Visitors may be pat searched, and vehicles may be searched at random. The PDF also says visitors may use any available parking space. Confirm the schedule before travel because the facility serves multiple custody groups and rules can differ by status.

The dress code is strict. The PDF bans blue, yellow, gray, lime-green, and red-and-white clothing. It also bans blue jeans, spandex, short pants, tank tops, halter tops, clothing with symbols or signs, see-through clothing, underwire bras, and open-toe shoes.

Mail and Money Rules

Incoming mail must identify the person and housing location clearly. The CoreCivic PDF gives the format as inmate or detainee name, identification number, housing location, facility name, and full facility address. Emergency notifications go through the chaplain's office at the main facility phone number. Mail that lacks the required identifying details may be delayed or returned.

MDOC money and visitation rules apply when the person is in MDOC custody. They should not be treated as a county jail rule for every person in the Tutwiler facility. When the custody agency is unclear, ask the facility which account system applies before sending funds or ordering a package.

Directions to Tallahatchie Facility

Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility sits on U.S. Highway 49 north of Tutwiler in the Mississippi Delta. Visitors coming from Clarksdale generally approach southbound on U.S. 49. Visitors coming from Greenwood or other points south generally approach northbound through the Delta corridor. Visitors coming from Charleston should plan a rural drive west and north toward Tutwiler, then confirm the route in a map app before leaving.

Official sources did not publish public-transit directions to the facility. Confirm transportation before travel. The facility PDF says visitors may park in any available parking space, but it does not provide detailed ADA entrance instructions. Call ahead if mobility access, visitor entrance location, or timing is a concern.

Tallahatchie Programs and Classification

CoreCivic lists program categories at Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility that include education, addiction treatment, vocational trades, and life skills. A PREA audit source also describes screening information used for housing, bed, work, education, and program assignments. Classification means the facility's review of custody risk, housing needs, safety factors, and program placement.

Public materials did not provide a county-only program calendar, detailed grievance policy, reentry partner list, or medical request process. Recent reporting has also raised accountability questions about deaths and oversight at the private Delta prison. Treat that as news context, not a final legal finding. For a specific person, the correct question remains which agency has custody and which office can confirm the record.
