If you're trying to find an inmate who is serving time in the state of Mississippi, you can use the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) public inmate search tool which is available online. This search feature allows users to conveniently locate inmates who are serving sentences in any of the correctional facilities within the state.
To start your search, you have two options available:
- Name search: This option allows you to search for an inmate by their first and last name. It's important to spell the name correctly to ensure accurate results. If you only have one name, this option can also be used to search for all the inmates with that name.
- ID number search: If you don't have an inmate's full name, you can use their ID number to search for them. This option is helpful in narrowing down your results.
Once you've entered the necessary search parameters, MDOC will deliver the results. The information provided includes details about the inmate's term, offense, and location. If you click on any of the results, you'll find additional information about that particular inmate, including their aliases and mugshots (if available).
It's worth noting that there are other inmate search tools available in Mississippi besides MDOC's search feature. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) also maintains a searchable database of federal inmates who are currently incarcerated. Additionally, county sheriff's offices in Mississippi may have their own inmate search tools for inmates who are serving sentences in their county jails.
