Check Noxubee County Custody Status

Noxubee County Inmate Search Reality

There is no official Noxubee County jail roster, booking search, or inmate profile database online. The Noxubee County Sheriff's Office website is hosted through OCV and runs as a small app. Its public manifest lists only a welcome slider, a contact card, and a download prompt. No inmate module, no booking lookup, and no warrant tool appear in it. Anyone telling you to "search the Noxubee County roster" online is pointing at a page that the county has not published.

That gap shapes the whole search. A Noxubee County custody check starts with a call, not a click. The Sheriff's Office holds people booked into the Noxubee County jail before trial or for short county sentences. For those detainees, the office itself is the only reliable source of name, charge, and bond status. Staff can confirm whether someone is in custody and explain the next step.

State and federal custody is different. The roster you cannot find locally would only ever cover Noxubee County detainees anyway. People sentenced to prison move into state corrections, and their records sit in a separate statewide system covered further down. Federal detainees, immigration holds, and people held in other counties never show on a Noxubee tool even when one exists.

Noxubee County Custody Lookup Chain

Because no local roster exists, the search runs as a short chain. Each link covers a different stage of custody. Start at the top and move down only if the person is not where you expect. The Sheriff handles the Noxubee County jail. The Mississippi Department of Corrections handles state prison. VINE sends alerts across participating jails and prisons. The order below matches how most custody questions actually resolve.

1. Call the Noxubee County Sheriff's Office to ask whether the person is in the county jail and what the charge and bond status are.
2. If the person was sentenced to prison, search the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate database by name or state ID number.
3. Register with VINE to get automatic phone, email, or app alerts about custody changes and release.
4. For a state corrections facility located in the county, contact the Noxubee County Community Work Center directly.
5. Treat any third-party "mugshot" or "booking" site as unverified and confirm everything with the Noxubee County Sheriff or MDOC.

Most Noxubee County callers resolve a question at the first or second link. Keep the case name and any date of birth handy, since staff and databases both match faster with a full name. The remaining sections explain each channel in detail.

Noxubee County Sheriff and Jail Contact

The Noxubee County Sheriff's Office is the first office to call for anyone in the Noxubee County jail. Tedrick Liddell took office as Noxubee County sheriff in January 2026 after a retirement and a special election, so older listings may still name a prior sheriff. The office runs around the clock, which matters for a late-night booking question. One practical wrinkle stands out: official and high-authority sources do not agree on the exact address and phone. Use both numbers below and confirm by phone before you drive anywhere.

The official sheriff website lists one address and number. The Mississippi Sheriffs' Association directory lists a different street suite and a different number for the same office. Neither is wrong on its face, and both reach the agency, so try both rather than assuming one is outdated.

When you call, ask plainly whether the person is currently held, what the booking charge is, and whether a bond has been set. If the matter is moving through the courts, the charges themselves are tracked separately, and you can read more on the Noxubee County arrest records and court charges page. Note: The sheriff address and phone conflict is documented across official sources, so confirm by phone before traveling to either Jefferson Street location.

MDOC Inmate Search for Noxubee

Once a person is sentenced to prison, custody shifts to the Mississippi Department of Corrections. MDOC runs a public inmate search that does work online, unlike the missing Noxubee County roster. You can review the live tool on the MDOC inmate search page before you start.

The image below shows where the state search lives and how it frames a name or ID lookup.

This database is the correct channel for state offenders, not for every pretrial Noxubee County detainee. A person booked into the Noxubee County jail last night will not appear here. Someone serving a state sentence will. There is a second front end for the same data, and the MS.gov MDOC inmate search offers a slightly different layout with a search-criteria selector.

The MS.gov version of the search accepts a few simple inputs. You pick whether to search by name or by ID number, then fill the matching fields. The table below lists what the form takes.

You can open the alternate form yourself on the MS.gov MDOC inmate search page, which lays out the same selector and name fields.

That MS.gov front end pulls from the same state inmate data, so a Noxubee County family member can use whichever layout reads more easily. If you only have a name, the name option is fine. If you have the MDOC ID, it returns the cleanest match. For records that the public search will not show, MDOC takes written records requests by mail at P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, by phone at 601-933-2889, or by email at MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us.

What a Noxubee Jail Roster Shows

This section is honest about a gap. No official Noxubee County roster or public inmate profile was found, so the fields below are not pulled from a real Noxubee County page. They describe what a typical county jail roster shows in places that publish one, so you know what Noxubee County does not currently provide online. Do not assume a Noxubee profile exists with mugshots, booking numbers, housing, bond, or charges. None of that is published by the county at this time.

Treat that list as a research aid, not a description of a live Noxubee County tool. For the Noxubee County jail, the Sheriff's Office is the field-by-field source. For state prison, MDOC fills in most of these fields through its public search.

Noxubee County Community Work Center

The state runs a corrections facility inside Noxubee County, and people sometimes confuse it with a county jail roster. The Noxubee County Community Work Center is an MDOC facility, not the local pretrial Noxubee County jail. It houses certain state inmates assigned to work-center status. You can read MDOC's own listing on the Noxubee County CWC facility page.

The screenshot below shows how MDOC presents the work center as a state facility.

Use the work center only when the person may be assigned there, not as a general roster. Its details follow.

If you are unsure whether someone is at the work center or the Noxubee County jail, the MDOC public inmate search settles it for sentenced state offenders. For anyone still in pretrial Noxubee County custody, the Sheriff's Office remains the source.

VINE Custody Alerts for Noxubee County

VINE is a free notification service that watches custody and case events for Noxubee County and statewide, so you do not have to call repeatedly. It can alert you to transfers, return to custody, escape or abscond events, and release. You register once, then receive updates by phone, email, or app. Start at the Mississippi VINE portal to set up notifications.

The image below shows the Mississippi VINE entry point used to register for alerts.

The state side of VINE is called SAVIN. MDOC materials describe SAVIN as tracking offenders in participating county jails and state custody. You can register through VINELink or by calling the Office of Mississippi SAVIN at 601-359-5759. Toll-free help is 1-888-9-MSSAVIN, and TTY service is 866-847-1298. Noxubee-specific participation could not be confirmed in official sources, so register and then verify that alerts are flowing for your person of interest.

VINE is most useful when a family member or victim wants release notice without repeated phone calls. It does not replace the Noxubee County Sheriff or MDOC as the source of record. Note: VINE coverage for any single jail depends on that facility feeding data into the system, so confirm your alerts actually trigger.

Booking to Charge Pathway in Noxubee County

Understanding the path from arrest to charge helps you know which office holds what. An arrest leads to booking at the Noxubee County jail, where intake records a name and the initial charges. From there a person may bond out, wait for a first appearance, or be held. The Noxubee County Sheriff's Office controls this pretrial stage and is the source for whether someone is still in the jail.

Charges then move into the court system. The District Attorney for the Sixteenth Circuit District prosecutes felonies for Noxubee and three neighboring counties, deciding how a felony proceeds after lower-court screening. Lesser matters route through Justice Court or the municipal courts in Macon and Brooksville. The booking charge at intake is not always the final charge a prosecutor files.

That is why custody and charges live in different places. The Noxubee County jail shows who is held. The courts show what is charged and what happens next. For the case file side of that pathway, see the Noxubee County criminal court records page, which covers arraignment, pleas, and disposition.

Mississippi Sex Offender Registry

The sex offender registry is a separate public tool, run by the state, not by the Noxubee County Sheriff. People often reach for it during the same Noxubee County custody search, so it is worth covering. It is not a jail roster and does not show custody status. It lists registered offenders and where they live. You can search it through the Mississippi sex offender registry maintained by the Department of Public Safety.

The screenshot below shows the registry search front end before the required acknowledgment step.

The registry offers a name search, a geographical search within a distance of an address, and a ZIP-code listing, plus a community-notification feature. A short acknowledgment or CAPTCHA gate sits in front of public results. For help, the SOR Hotline is 601-987-1540, the email is MSOR@dps.ms.gov, and the mailing address is P.O. Box 958, Jackson, MS 39205. Keep this tool mentally separate from any custody question, since a registered person is not necessarily in jail.

Noxubee County Jail Visitation Rules

Here the honesty has to be plain. Noxubee County did not publish detailed jail visitation, mail, phone, or commissary rules in the official online sources reviewed. The Noxubee County sheriff site and its manifest expose no visitation module and no jail module. That means the schedule grid most roster sites show simply is not available for Noxubee County, and inventing days or hours would mislead you. Call before you travel, mail anything, or send money.

The table below frames each topic honestly so you know what to ask the jail rather than assume.

To get current rules, call the Noxubee County Sheriff's Office at (601) 749-1228 or 662-726-5133 and ask for the jail or visitation officer. Confirm visiting days, ID requirements, and any video option before you make the drive. Note: Because Noxubee publishes no visitation schedule online, every detail in this area must be verified by phone before you rely on it.

Noxubee Jail Commissary and Inmate Money

Sending money to a person in the Noxubee County jail also runs into a documentation gap. A commissary ordering channel appears to exist through a third-party vendor, but Noxubee County does not publish its fees, limits, or rules. Tiger Commissary lists "Noxubee County Jail in Macon, MS" as a facility, which suggests an ordering path. It does not expose deposit limits, service charges, refund rules, or product details without going through the vendor workflow. You can see the facility listing on the Tiger Commissary Noxubee page.

The image below shows the vendor facility selection that names the Noxubee County Jail.

Treat the vendor page as a starting point, not a rulebook. Before you load money or place an order, confirm with the Noxubee County Sheriff's Office that the channel is current and ask about any limits or fees. Vendor pages change, and a facility listing alone does not guarantee how deposits are handled day to day.

The Sheriff App and Public Trust

The Noxubee County Sheriff's Office website carries a "Download Our App" prompt and an OCV app share link. News coverage in late 2025 described leadership working to modernize the department with an app that would push events, arrests, crime and weather alerts, and anonymous tips. That points toward more public tools over time, which is a welcome direction for a county with no online roster today.

Be careful about what the app does and does not do. The official manifest shows the download prompt, but its app-store lookup arrays are empty, and no verified Apple or Google listing was found. More to the point, no app-only inmate lookup, booking search, or warrant module appears in the manifest. So the app is real as a prompt, but there is no evidence it replaces the missing roster. Do not assume an app-only custody search exists.

One piece of documented public news belongs here for context. In 2024 the U.S. Attorney's Office announced that a former Noxubee County sheriff pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI in a matter involving a jail inmate, and state reporting later covered his sentencing. That is official federal-source news, noted briefly because jail oversight and public trust are part of why families verify Noxubee County custody directly with the office and through state systems rather than relying on rumor.
