Search Hinds County Mugshots, Current Inmates and Booking Records
For Hinds County mugshots and current jail information, start with the Hinds County Sheriff’s inmate-query system. The county’s current inmate tool can be searched by name, arrest date, city or PIN and is designed for people who are currently in Hinds County custody.
Records Search
Court, Criminal, Marriage, Divorce, Property
A live jail record is only one stage of the process. Use the Sheriff’s Office for detention and booking questions, the appropriate Hinds County court for the criminal case, and the Mississippi Department of Corrections if the person has moved into state-prison custody.

Quick Answer: Where to Find Hinds County Mugshots and Jail Bookings
The Hinds County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for county jail custody and maintains the county jail docket. Hinds County’s public inmate-query system is intended for current inmates and can display booking information and photographs when available.
If the person is no longer in the current inmate system, check the criminal court record, Sheriff’s Records Division or Mississippi Department of Corrections depending on what happened after the arrest.
Hinds County Inmate Query
Use the county inmate-query system when you want to know whether a person is currently held in Hinds County custody.
Sheriff Records
Use the Sheriff’s Records Division when you need an agency-held record rather than only the live jail listing.
Hinds County Courts
Use Justice, County or Circuit Court records when the question is what happened legally after the booking.
How to Search the Hinds County Inmate Roster
Hinds County uses a legacy county database for current-inmate searches. The public tool provides several ways to locate a person rather than forcing users to rely on a single exact-name search.
Start with the official Hinds County Sheriff’s Office
Use the county Sheriff source as the official starting point for detention contacts and current jail information.
Search the inmate-query system by name
The county query uses a surname-first format. A common example format is Doe, John.
Try a broader search if needed
The inmate query also supports arrest-date, city and PIN searches. These can help when you are unsure how the person’s name was entered.
Open the matching inmate profile
Compare the identifying information, arrest date, arresting agency, charge information and facility location rather than relying on the name alone.
Save the PIN or jail identifier
The inmate PIN can be useful when contacting the detention facility or using inmate communication services.
Move to the court record when the legal outcome matters
A live inmate profile answers a custody question. The court record answers what happened to the criminal case afterward.
Ways to Search the Hinds County Jail Roster
| Search method | Best use | Important detail |
|---|---|---|
| Name | When you know the inmate’s legal name. | Use the county’s surname-first format when possible. |
| Arrest date | When you know approximately when the person was booked. | Useful for recent bookings when spelling is uncertain. |
| City | When you know the city associated with the record. | Can return a broader list and should not be used as the only identity check. |
| PIN number | When you already have the inmate’s jail identifier. | This is generally more precise than a common-name search. |
If a full-name search fails, check spelling, aliases, suffixes and whether the person is still in county custody before assuming there is no record.
What a Hinds County Inmate Record Can Show
Current inmate profiles can contain a booking photograph and identifying, arrest, charge and housing information. Individual fields can vary by record.
| Record field | What it helps answer | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Name and identifying details | Helps distinguish the person from others with similar names. | That a same-name search result is automatically the person you intended. |
| Booking photograph | Provides an intake-identification image when publicly available. | Guilt, conviction or current dangerousness. |
| Arrest date | Shows the arrest or intake timing recorded in the jail system. | Necessarily the date of the alleged offense. |
| Arresting agency | Identifies which agency is associated with the arrest. | That the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office created every related police report. |
| Charge | Shows the allegation connected with jail custody. | The final charge filed or resolved in court. |
| Warrant or indictment number | May help connect the jail record to another official record. | A final conviction. |
| Location / pod / section | Helps identify where the person is currently housed. | That the housing assignment will remain unchanged. |

Are Hinds County Mugshots Available Online?
Hinds County’s public inmate system can display photographs for current inmates. Public availability is tied to the live custody system, so an older booking photo may not remain accessible after release or transfer.
A missing mugshot does not mean an arrest never happened. For an older arrest, use the court file or request records from the agency that created the relevant record.
Use the jail query
The current-inmate profile is the most direct county source for a booking photo when one is available.
Use court or agency records
Once a person leaves the live jail roster, the court case and responsible law-enforcement records become more useful than a current-inmate search.
How to Check the Court Case After a Hinds County Arrest
Hinds County has more than one court system, so the correct court depends on the charge and procedural stage. Justice Court handles misdemeanor criminal charges within its jurisdiction, while more serious criminal matters can proceed through County or Circuit Court.
Hinds County Justice Court
Justice Court processes misdemeanor criminal matters and related proceedings within its jurisdiction.
Circuit Court
Use the Circuit Clerk for Circuit Court and other criminal files within the Clerk’s jurisdiction.
Mississippi Electronic Courts
Many Circuit, County and Chancery records are available through the Mississippi Electronic Courts system, subject to system rules and fees.
Hinds County Justice Court
407 East Pascagoula StreetJackson, MS 39205
Phone: 601-965-8800
Office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., except legal holidays.
For a released inmate, the court record is often the better source for answering whether charges were filed, whether a hearing is scheduled or how the case ultimately ended.
Hinds County Sheriff Records and Public Records Requests
The Hinds County Sheriff’s current directory lists a Records Division at 601-974-2930. If you need a Sheriff’s record rather than current inmate information, contact Records and identify the incident, person, date and record type as specifically as possible.
Hinds County also publishes a general Public Record Request Form under the Mississippi Public Records Act. The county asks requesters to identify the department and describe the requested records specifically.
The county’s current form says copying fees can apply and additional lawful charges may be assessed for research or copying time. It also states to allow seven working days for a response.

Sending Mail and Messages to a Hinds County Inmate
The Sheriff’s current page states that Hinds County uses an inmate messaging system for electronic messages, photographs and documents. The Sheriff’s page currently lists messages at 25 cents each and picture/document messages at 35 cents each.
The Sheriff’s current inmate-mail instructions route physical inmate mail through the following processing address:
Inmate Number
Hinds County Detention Center
P.O. Box 591
Longview, TX 75606
Use the inmate’s correct name and inmate number. Recheck the Sheriff’s current rules before mailing documents or photographs because mail-processing procedures and vendor arrangements can change.
Hinds County Video Visitation
The Sheriff’s current website provides a video-visitation route for detention-center inmates. Because facility location and vendor procedures can change, first confirm where the inmate is housed and then use the current Sheriff visitation link rather than an older third-party schedule.
For location confirmation, call the listed Jackson or Raymond detention number before making travel arrangements.
If the Person Was Transferred to Mississippi State Prison
A person sentenced to state custody may no longer appear in the Hinds County current-inmate query. The Mississippi Department of Corrections maintains a separate official Inmate Search for people in MDOC custody.
The MDOC search accepts a first name, last name or MDOC ID number.
Official MDOC Inmate Search ↗If the Person Is in Federal Custody
Federal detention is separate from Hinds County and Mississippi state custody. If a federal agency made the arrest or the person was transferred into the federal prison system, use the federal court record and Federal Bureau of Prisons locator rather than the Hinds County jail roster.
A missing county result can therefore mean release, transfer, state custody, federal custody or simply that you are checking the wrong jurisdiction.
No Hinds County Inmate Result? Check These Possibilities
| Problem | Possible explanation | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| No name match | The name may be entered differently or spelling may be wrong. | Retry using the county’s surname-first format or a broader search. |
| Very recent arrest | Booking and record entry may still be underway. | Contact the Sheriff or appropriate detention center if timing is urgent. |
| Person was released | The public inmate query focuses on current inmates. | Use the court record or request the historical record from the responsible agency. |
| Different Hinds facility | The person may be housed in Jackson, Raymond or another listed detention operation. | Check the profile’s location and confirm by phone. |
| Transferred to MDOC | The person may now be in Mississippi state-prison custody. | Use the MDOC Inmate Search. |
| Federal case | The person may be in federal rather than county custody. | Use the appropriate federal custody and court systems. |
| Need the final case outcome | The jail roster is not the final court record. | Use Justice, County or Circuit Court records depending on the case. |
Use Hinds County Mugshot and Arrest Information Carefully
Compare multiple identifiers before associating a jail record with a person, especially where names are common. A photograph or booking entry should not be described as proof of criminal conduct.
For older arrests, check the later court record because the original booking charge may have been changed, dismissed or resolved differently.
