Find Coahoma County Detention Facility Releases

Coahoma Facility Release Destinations

The Coahoma County Detention Facility is the county jail and the local custody starting point. It holds felony and misdemeanor prisoners from the Coahoma County Sheriff's Office and municipal police departments. A departure may mean community release after bond, dismissal, sentence credit, time served, completion of a local sentence, or another court order. Those events differ from a transfer.

A transfer to the Mississippi Department of Corrections keeps the person incarcerated under a new custodian. A warrant or detainer may cause pickup by another county, the federal government, or another authority. A detainer is a request or basis for another agency to assume custody. Medical or other custodial movement can also remove a name from one facility without producing community release.

“Not at the facility” is incomplete by itself. Ask which event ended Coahoma County custody, where the person went next, and which record confirms that result.

No verified public roster, 24-hour release list, 72-hour release list, archive, mobile app, or online booking-photo feed was found for this county jail. A direct call can address an immediate current-custody question. A written release or disposition record is the stronger route for an exact departure time and release type. The county's full records and search workflow is also explained on the Coahoma County released-inmates home page.

1. Call the facility at 662-624-3085 and ask whether the named person is presently held. Give a booking number if known.
2. Ask whether the departure was a community release, bond, time served, court order, MDOC transfer, or pickup on another hold.
3. Request the booking and release record, including timestamps, release type, authority, and public transfer destination.
4. Check the originating court for the order or judgment. The court record can outlast deletion from a custody list.
5. If custody continued, search MDOC or contact the identified receiving agency instead of treating departure as freedom.

Coahoma Facility Release Records

A focused local request should identify the person and the custody episode. Ask for the legal name, aliases recorded for that booking, booking or admission number, arresting agency, booking date and time, booked charges, court and case number, bond entry if applicable, release date and time, release type, releasing authority, and transfer destination if public. Request any correction notation when dates or status labels changed.

The May 2023 Coahoma offender-tracking log provides useful local terms. It shows separate “Bonded,” “Released,” hold, court-transfer, and “Released to MDOC” entries. This historical log is not a current roster. It is an example of how local disposition fields can distinguish community release from continued custody. It has no photograph and does not establish a formal retention period.

Use the Coahoma County Public Records Policy for a formal request. Ask for electronic delivery, segregable nonexempt portions, and the specific exemption for anything withheld. Set a charge ceiling and request an itemized estimate first. No fixed county-jail release-record or booking-photo fee was verified.

The policy allows electronic records through the same process as paper records. Customized database work may require consent and actual cost. Large productions may come in installments. If no written response arrives within five business days, the policy directs the requester to contact the county public records officer. Records ready for inspection or collection should be claimed within 30 days of notice.

Coahoma Facility Records Contact

The Sheriff's official facility page labels the main telephone as available 24 hours. Administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. That distinction matters. A current-custody question may be possible by phone outside office hours, while a formal records request may need administrative processing.

The Sheriff warns that ordinary email is not secure. Do not send unnecessary sensitive details. When the jail cannot produce a county-wide record directly, the formal county contact is the Coahoma County Public Records Officer, P.O. Box 579, Clarksdale, MS 38614, phone 662-624-3028, fax 662-624-3029, and ccadmin@cableone.net.

Coahoma Facility Court Records

The jail records physical custody. The court records the legal event behind many releases. A bond order, release order, dismissal, plea, sentencing order, jail-credit finding, probation order, revocation, amended order, or final disposition may explain why the Coahoma County Detention Facility released or transferred someone. It may not show the exact minute that jail staff completed processing.

Coahoma Circuit and County Courts participate in the Eleventh Circuit MEC system. The Circuit Clerk is the fallback for older, non-electronic, restricted, or unclear cases. The office is at 115 First Street, Clarksdale, MS 38614, phone 662-624-3014, and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except holidays.

Court routing depends on the charge. Circuit Court handles felonies. Justice Court covers lower-level matters within its authority, including offenses punishable by less than a year in county jail. County Court has limited overlap. Municipal-origin cases may require the proper municipal clerk. Do not assume every booking belongs in Circuit Court.

Note: A court order explains legal authority, while the jail departure record confirms when Coahoma County physically ended its custody.

Coahoma Facility MDOC Transfers

When a disposition says “Released to MDOC,” search the Mississippi Department of Corrections Inmate Search by name or MDOC number. An active state location or sentence shows that the person left the county jail but did not leave incarceration. The MDOC detail may display entry data, current location, convictions, sentence information, county of conviction, and a Tentative Release Date.

A tentative date is not a completed release. Credits, sentence documents, disciplinary changes, detainers, court orders, and release planning can alter it. For a past state release, request the release or discharge record from MDOC Records. The county jail cannot confirm the final end of custody that took place later under MDOC.

Community release

The person leaves the current custodian without immediate transfer to another jail or prison authority.

Transfer

Custody moves to another agency and confinement continues.

Detainer

A hold that may lead another authority to take custody.

Discharge

The responsible agency's formal end of a sentence or supervision status.

Coahoma Detention Facility History

The Sheriff identifies the present Coahoma County Detention Facility as a county jail built in 2020. It has a stated maximum capacity of 200 and serves as the central holding facility for prisoners from municipal police departments as well as the Sheriff's Office. Those details make it a newer, consolidated local jail. It is not an MDOC state prison.

Earlier reporting documented debate over planning and funding, but current plant facts should come from the Sheriff's detention-facility page. The facility page does not supply a standard release hour, exit point, waiting area, property pickup process, weekend rule, or fixed booking-photo fee. None of those details should be assumed.

Coahoma Release Record Limits

The Sheriff's Administration page says detention staff update custody placement daily, adding new arrivals and deleting people no longer at the facility. That is evidence of an internal daily custody practice, not a verified public feed. Deletion answers only that the person is no longer shown as held there. It does not explain the reason or destination.

No official public retention window was found. Ask the Sheriff for the schedule that applies to booking and release logs. Court dockets may preserve the case history after a current custody entry is gone. MDOC has its own state record when a transfer occurred. VINELink can support event notification for a participating source, but an alert should still be checked against the custodian.

A reliable Coahoma County release conclusion has four parts: the agency that held the person, the event that ended that custody, the next destination, and the record that proves it. If one part is missing, describe the result as incomplete. “Released,” “bonded,” “released to MDOC,” and “not currently listed” are not interchangeable.
