Hinds County Jackson Detention Center Inmate Search

We’ve compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions and Answers for everything you need to know about finding an inmate in the Hinds County Jackson Detention Center, how the jail rosters work and what happens after an offender is arrested and booked. If you still have questions after reviewing these FAQs, call 601-974-2945 for further assistance.

The Hinds County Jackson Detention Center maintains an average of 500 offenders in custody on any given day. The Hinds County Jackson Detention Center has a monthly turnover of 40% of their inmate population, another 30% turnover every 90 days, another 20% every six months, and approximately 10% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Every year Hinds County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 34,680 offenders.

The Hinds County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Hinds County.

• You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Hinds County, or in some cases the state of Mississippi, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Hinds County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
• The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 601-974-2945 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Hinds County inmate locator.

Hinds County Bail Bond Information

Because Hinds County and Mississippi can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Hinds County Jackson Detention Center at 601-974-2945, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked. 

Ask the staff at the Hinds County Jackson Detention Center or the Hinds County Court Clerk these specific questions:

1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
2. How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
3. Where do I go to pay it?
4. Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
5. What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
6. Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released. 

This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Hinds County Jackson Detention Center?

There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Hinds County Jackson Detention Center uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Choice 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail

Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.

**Call 601-974-2945 first to ask Hinds County Jackson Detention Center if this option is still available.
