Search the Tate County Inmate Population

Tate County Inmate Population

The Tate County inmate population centers on one local detention facility: Tate County Jail in Senatobia. The jail is operated by the Tate County Sheriff's Office and holds people booked on local charges, court holds, writs, probation violations, drug-court sanctions, and local sentences when a court keeps the person in county custody. That local jail count is not the same as the Mississippi prison count. A person sentenced to state prison is normally found through the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search, not through the county roster after transfer.

The county's official public roster is built on an OCV/MyOCV feed. When inspected on June 19, 2026, that feed listed 68 entries. The number is useful as a roster snapshot, but it is not the same thing as a yearly average daily population. Vera Institute data also listed 68 people for Tate County's 2019 total jail population, while Prison Policy Initiative data listed 87 people for a local-jail line dated December 31, 2013. Those numbers come from different dates and methods, so they should be read as separate measures of local custody.

Tate County Inmate Population Statistics

The strongest sourced figures for Tate County jail population and capacity come from the Vera Institute county incarceration trends data, the official sheriff roster feed, and Prison Policy Initiative correctional population tables. The sheriff site did not publish a current bed count, annual booking report, or current demographic dashboard. The 2019 Vera capacity field lists 162 beds, while the 2019 total jail population field lists 68 people. That puts the 2019 Vera count well under the rated capacity field for that year.

The official roster screenshot in the build manifest matches the local roster channel. The Tate County Sheriff's Office inmate roster shows the public interface used for current local custody searches.

That roster is the live search starting point, while the population table above is the better source for historical capacity and trend context.

Tate County Jail Population Trends

Vera's 2015 through 2019 series shows a modest rise in Tate County's jail population, not a documented overcrowding surge. The total jail population moved from 57 in 2015 to 68 in 2019. The rated capacity field rose from 150.8 to 162 over the same period. Because the sheriff did not publish a current official capacity on the inspected pages, the Vera capacity series should be cited by year and source rather than described as the jail's current official bed count.

The June 19, 2026 roster count matched the 2019 Vera total numerically, but the match should not be treated as a trend finding. One is a public feed count from a specific inspection date. The other is a historical jail population field from a research dataset.

Tate County Inmate Population Makeup

Vera's 2019 Tate County row gives the clearest demographic and status split located in the research. It reports 27 people in pretrial custody and 41 in sentenced custody. It also reports source fields for male jail population, female jail population, Black jail population, Latinx jail population, and White jail population. Those fields are useful for broad context, but they do not replace the current sheriff roster, which lists individual entries with age, race, sex, booking date, charges, bond type, bond amount, and image when available.

• Pretrial custody: Vera listed 27 people in 2019, meaning the case had not reached final sentencing on the pending matter.
• Sentenced custody: Vera listed 41 people in 2019, which reflects county jail custody after sentence or related local custody status.
• Sex fields: Vera listed male and female fields, while the current roster may show a public sex field as N/A for some entries.
• Race fields: Vera listed Black, Latinx, White, and other race fields in the 2019 county row.

Roster examples also show how the local jail population changes because of writs, warrants, drug-court sanctions, failures to appear, bond surrenders, DUI charges, larceny, assault, burglary, and probation violations. Those are booking or custody labels. The court record may later show a different formal charge or disposition.

Tate County Jail Records Law

Mississippi public-records law supplies the main access framework for Tate County booking records and jail records. The public roster gives current information without a request. Older booking records, incident reports, mugshot copies, or records not shown online are usually requested from the record holder, which is often the sheriff's office for jail material. The agency may still withhold, redact, or delay records when another law, court order, juvenile restriction, expunction, or active-investigation limit applies.

The Mississippi Ethics Commission public-records page is also relevant because it explains the state enforcement channel for public-records disputes. Tate County research located an Ethics Commission order involving the sheriff's office and an incident-report request, but that order should be used only as local timing context.

Search Tate County Inmates

The main way to search the Tate County inmate population is the official sheriff roster. The roster does not require a login or payment. It is configured to show search and sort controls and to sort entries by booking date descending. Names appear in last-name-first format, so a last name is the best first search term when the full name is not certain.

1. Open the official Tate County inmate roster.
2. Use the search box with the last name or visible name text.
3. Review the newest entries first because the feed is configured by date descending.
4. Open the entry to read the information block and charge rows.
5. If no entry appears, call the jail, check MDOC after sentencing, or use the federal and ICE locators if the custody path has changed.

Tate County Roster Records

A Tate County roster entry is an intake and custody record, not a final court judgment. It may show the charge wording used at booking, a bond type, and a bond amount for each listed charge. That wording can differ from the complaint, information, indictment, amended charge, dismissal, or final disposition later found in court records. The public feed did not show booking number, date of birth, height, weight, housing unit, arresting agency, court date, warrant number, case number, or release date during the research pass.

The OCV roster feed captured in the manifest shows how the public entries are structured behind the sheriff roster.

The feed format helps explain why roster entries often show charge rows and bond rows, but not a full court case history.

Tate County Custody Search Channels

Not every person arrested in or from Tate County will remain searchable through the county roster. The right system depends on custody status. Local pretrial and short-sentence custody starts with the sheriff roster. A sentenced state prisoner moves into MDOC records after transfer. Federal inmates are searched through BOP, and adult immigration detainees may be searched through ICE if the locator conditions are met. Mississippi VINELink can add notification options where agency data is available.

Tate County State Prison Lookup

No MDOC state prison was found inside Tate County on the MDOC facilities map. MDOC does list a Tate Probation and Parole Office in Senatobia, but that is a supervision office, not a detention facility. A Tate County jail inmate who is sentenced to state prison may leave the county roster and later appear in MDOC search results. MDOC searches can use first name, last name, or MDOC ID number, and the MS.gov interface also offers Name or ID Number search criteria.

The MDOC family and friends material is prison-focused, not a Tate County Jail visitation rule. MDOC states visitors on prison grounds are subject to search of person, vehicle, property, and items. That rule should not be applied to county jail visits unless Tate County Jail confirms it. The county jail and state prison systems have different rules, different records, and different points of contact.

Tate County Jail Terms

Several abbreviations and bond terms appear in Tate County roster entries. Short definitions help separate a custody status from a final court result.

Booking

The jail intake record created after arrest.

ROR

Release on recognizance, meaning release without a paid bond in the observed roster context.

No Bond

A charge or hold that will not release on payment alone.

VOP

Violation of probation.

Writ

A court order to take or hold custody.

Detainer

A request from another agency to hold or notify before release.

Tate County Detention Facilities

The official facility map for this build has one detention facility. Other systems matter for search, but they are lookup channels rather than local detention pages. No state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, regional correctional facility, work center, restitution center, technical violation center, or separate city jail roster was found inside Tate County.

• Tate County Jail - the county jail and local detention point for pretrial detainees, local arrestees, court holds, writs, probation violations, and local sentenced inmates when ordered by court.

Tate County Inmate Search FAQ

How big is the Tate County inmate population?

The official OCV roster feed listed 68 entries when inspected on June 19, 2026. Vera Institute data also listed a 2019 total jail population of 68 and a 2019 rated capacity field of 162. Those figures should be cited by source and date because a roster snapshot is not the same as a yearly average.

Where do current Tate County inmates appear?

Current local jail custody appears first on the sheriff's inmate roster and the same OCV feed used by the Tate County Sheriff MS app. If the person was just booked or just released, the safest fallback is to call Tate County Jail at 662-562-5466.

Where are sentenced state prisoners searched?

Sentenced state prisoners are searched through MDOC, not the county roster after transfer. The MDOC locator covers state custody and supervision information. It is separate from the Tate County Jail roster.

Are mugshots part of the roster?

Many Tate County roster entries include booking images, but some entries use a missing-image placeholder. A booking photo that is not online may require a written Mississippi Public Records Act request to the sheriff's office.
