Lauderdale Records Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that owns the record.

County Jail and Sheriff

Use the detention line for a recent Lauderdale jail departure or routing to Inmate Records. The jail's physical and mail reference differs from the sheriff's administrative address.

Lauderdale County Detention Facility
2001 5th Street
Meridian, MS 39301
24-hour detention: 601-482-9801
Jail commander: 601-482-9896

Meridian, MS 39301
601-482-9806

The sheriff's online contact form is for nonsensitive messages. The official page warns that email is not secure and is not monitored at all times.

Courts and State Records

Where Each Question Goes

A recent county release belongs with the sheriff. State-prison release and discharge belong with MDOC. Court orders explain the legal result, while alerts come from MS SAVIN.

  • For someone just released, check 24-Hour Releases and the sheriff's official 48-hour view.
  • For parole, probation, or ERS, use Post-Release Supervision and the local office.
  • For a tentative state date, use Release Date Lookup and MDOC Records.
  • For an alert, use VINE Inmate Check; MS SAVIN help is 601-359-5759 and VINELink help is 1-866-277-7477.
  • For federal custody, use the BOP locator; ICE Detainee Reporting is 888-351-4024 when immigration jurisdiction is supported.
  • For a specific institution, use the Lauderdale Detention Facility or East Mississippi Correctional Facility page linked below.
