Tate County Jail Roster Search
The official local custody source is the Tate County Sheriff's Office inmate roster. The roster is part of the sheriff's OCV system and is tied to the MyOCV inmate feed. The research inspection found a free public roster with no login or payment wall. The feed is configured to show search and sort controls, uses date-descending order, and displays a card-style inmate entry that can be opened for details. The exact refresh rate is not posted, and the sheriff does not state how long released people remain visible.
Tate County inmate records on the roster are local jail records. They are not the same thing as state prison records, federal prison records, immigration custody records, or court case records. A person arrested in Senatobia, Coldwater, or another Tate County community may first appear as a county jail booking. If the person is later sentenced and moved to state custody, the county roster may stop being the best source and the Mississippi Department of Corrections becomes the better lookup path. If a person is held on a federal case or immigration matter, the BOP or ICE locator may be needed after transfer.
The official roster interface shows how Tate County presents current inmate records to the public.
The roster image matters because the public search is a feed of current entries, not a clerk-style archive with case numbers, court dates, and final dispositions.
Use Tate County Inmate Roster
The most reliable way to begin a Tate County inmate lookup is to search the person's last name on the sheriff roster. Observed names display in last-name-first format, such as LAST, FIRST MIDDLE. The feed is set to sort by booking date descending, so recent bookings should be near the top when the person is still in local custody. The public feed inspected on June 19, 2026, contained entries that ran back into earlier months, but that does not prove a fixed retention period. Treat the roster as a current and recent custody tool.
- Open the Tate County inmate roster from the sheriff's site or the sheriff app roster link.
- Search by last name first. Use first name or middle name only after checking spelling and initials in the visible entries.
- Review the newest Tate County Jail entries first because the feed is configured for date-descending order.
- Open the inmate card to read the Information block and Charge(s) rows. Compare the booking date, charge label, bond type, and bond amount.
- If the person is not listed, call the jail, check MDOC for sentenced state custody, and use federal or ICE tools only when those systems fit the custody facts.
The roster search should be paired with a status check when timing matters. A recent arrest may not appear online yet. A recent release may still be remembered by staff before a public page updates. A court order, writ, probation violation, or detainer can also keep a person in custody even when one listed bond row looks payable. Note: Call the jail before posting bond, sending money, or driving to visit because the online entry may not show every hold.
Tate County Roster Search Fields
The Tate County roster is simpler than a court database. Research found a public OCV feed list with search and sort controls, not a multi-screen booking system. The roster uses card entries, and each card can show a title, date, image, information block, and charge rows. The exact wildcard rules and minimum character rules were not posted, so names should be checked with common spelling variants. If a search field fails, manual review of recent entries may still find the person.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text | Optional or unspecified | OCV feedList config exposes a search box. It likely searches visible roster text such as name, but exact rules were not posted. |
| Sort | Control/dropdown | Optional or unspecified | The manifest says showSort true and sort dateDesc. Captured static feed did not prove every visible option. |
| Inmate item/card | Click or tap | Optional | Opens or expands the OCV feed entry with title, content, date, image, and charges. |
| Name / title | Roster result | Not applicable | Observed format is LAST, FIRST MIDDLE. |
| Booking Date | Roster result | Not applicable | Observed format is MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS. |
The OCV roster feed backing the public list is also captured in the image manifest at the Tate County roster feed URL.
The feed view confirms why a roster entry should be read as a custody record: it carries booking and charge details, but not the full court case file.
Tate County Inmate Profile Fields
A Tate County inmate record can be useful, but it is narrower than many people expect. The inspected feed showed age, race, sex, booking date, charge descriptions, bond type, bond amount, and image. Several entries had "Sex: N/A," so the visible demographic fields are not always complete. The roster did not show booking number, date of birth, height, weight, hair color, eye color, housing unit, arresting agency, court date, judge, release date, warrant number, or case number. Court status must be checked through the court and clerk channels rather than inferred from a roster charge.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Public roster title in last-name-first format. |
| Age | Numeric age. The inspected roster did not show date of birth. |
| Race | One-letter race code, such as B or W, when populated. |
| Sex | Visible field that may be populated or may show N/A. |
| Booking Date | Date and time of booking as shown in the OCV feed. |
| Charge Description | Statute or shorthand plus the charge label, such as DUI, VOP, WRIT ORDER, or WARRANT. |
| Bond Type | N/A, No Bond, Cash, Surety, and ROR were observed. |
| Bond Amount | Per-charge amount or N/A. Some entries show more than one bond row. |
| Image | Booking photo when available, or a missing-image placeholder. |
Common roster terms should be read with care. Booking means the intake record created after arrest. Bond is release security set by a court or schedule. ROR means release on recognizance, a release without a paid bond in the observed examples. No Bond means the listed charge or hold does not release by simple payment. A writ is a court order to take or hold custody. VOP means violation of probation. A drug court sanction is custody tied to a drug court compliance issue.
Tate County Lookup Channels
The full access chain is important because no single search source covers every person. The county roster covers current Tate County Jail custody and recent/current booking entries on the sheriff website or app. The jail phone is the best fallback when a person was just booked, may have been released, or has a hold that is not clear from the public page. In-person contact at the Sheriff's Office or jail can help with local records routing during posted office hours. A written public-records request is the researched route for older booking records, incident reports, or mugshot copies not online because no dedicated booking-record form was found.
| Custody or Record Need | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current local jail custody | Tate County jail roster | Current booking, charges, bond rows, and image when posted. |
| Immediate confirmation | Jail phone, 662-562-5466 | Recent booking, release, bond, visit, mail, or money questions. |
| Older booking or copy request | Sheriff public-records request | Records not available on the public roster. |
| Sentenced state offender | MDOC inmate search | State custody after transfer or state supervision. |
| Custody notification | Mississippi VINELink | Notification service where agency data is available. |
| Federal sentence | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration custody | ICE detainee locator | Adult ICE custody or CBP custody more than 48 hours. |
MDOC, BOP, and ICE should not be used as substitutes for the county roster when the person is still in Tate County Jail. They answer different questions. The MDOC locator asks for first name, last name, or MDOC ID and covers state offenders. BOP covers federal custody. ICE searches by A-number and country or by biographical data. VINELink is a notification tool, not a complete local booking archive.
County jail vs other custody: Tate County Jail records cover local booking and pretrial custody. MDOC, BOP, and ICE records become relevant after state, federal, or immigration custody applies.
Tate County Jail Contact Card
Tate County's detention map is simple. Official county and sheriff sources located one local detention facility: Tate County Jail. It is operated by the Tate County Sheriff's Office and is the local custody point for people booked on local charges, court holds, writs, probation violations, and local sentences when ordered by a court. No separate city jail, state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, regional facility, community work center, restitution center, or technical violation center was located inside the county. MDOC lists a Tate Probation and Parole Office in Senatobia, but that office is a supervision office, not a detention facility.
Tate County Jail
1 Justice Drive
Senatobia, MS 38668
Jail: 662-562-5466
Sheriff's Office: 662-562-4434
Dispatch: 662-560-5692
Office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST
The official contact feed lists separate dispatch, Sheriff's Office, and jail contacts. Use dispatch for urgent public-safety routing, not routine custody research. Use the jail line for current custody, bond, visit, mail, and deposit questions. Use the Sheriff's Office line for public-records routing when a booking record is not on the public roster. The facility page for Tate County Jail carries the facility-specific custody context.
The official Tate County sheriff contact feed is the source for the separate jail, sheriff, dispatch, and fax listings.
Those separate contacts matter because a records request, a custody confirmation, and an emergency dispatch call are not the same task.
Tate County Booking Records
Local official sources do not publish a full Tate County booking-process narrative. The public roster still shows enough to explain the record path. An arrest by the sheriff, a municipal police department, a state agency, or another officer can lead to intake at Tate County Jail when the person is held locally. Intake creates the jail record, logs identity information, records the booking date and time, ties the person to charges or court holds, and creates or imports a booking photo if one is available to the public roster. Internal steps such as property inventory, fingerprinting, medical screening, classification, and housing assignment were not published by Tate County.
The roster charge is not always the final court charge. A prosecutor or court may later file, amend, reduce, dismiss, or indict formal counts. Tate County Circuit Clerk duties include receiving and filing indictments, motions, and other matters in civil and criminal cases filed in circuit court. That is why a jail record should be used as a custody and intake source, while court records after a jail arrest should be checked through the clerk or MEC when the user needs formal case status.
Tate County Jail Visitation Services
Research did not locate a detailed official Tate County visitation schedule, mail policy, dress code, approved visitor process, video visit policy, attorney visit rule, commissary fee table, or mail-scanning policy. The sheriff manifest did identify an Inmate Info submenu with Commissary and Inmate Communication. Commissary links to CommissaryDeposit.com, and Inmate Communication links to City Tele Coin. Because the Tate-specific schedule and rates were not posted, the safe route is to call the jail before a visit, deposit, call account setup, or mailing.
| Topic | Tate County Researched Detail | Gap / Caution |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | No official schedule found in inspected sources. | Call Tate County Jail before arrival. |
| Video visits | No confirmed Tate County video schedule found. | City Tele Coin is linked for inmate communication, but video availability was not proven. |
| Commissary deposits | CommissaryDeposit.com is linked from the sheriff manifest. | Users may need state, facility, and inmate ID or name. Tate fees were not located. |
| Phone and communication | City Tele Coin is linked from the sheriff manifest. | Tate-specific rates and schedule were not located. |
| No official Tate County mail policy found. | Do not assume format beyond the jail address without jail confirmation. | |
| Attorney visits | No public local schedule found. | Attorneys should call the jail directly. |
Commissary deposits and communication services should not be started until custody is confirmed. An inmate may be released, moved to court, transferred to MDOC, or held in a way that changes service access. Also ask whether an inmate ID is required, whether the listed vendor is still approved, whether a debt collection rule applies to deposited funds, and whether a lockdown or holiday affects the visit plan.
Tate County Sheriff App
The Tate County Sheriff MS app is documented in the official manifest and App Store listing. The App Store page says the app lets residents connect with the sheriff's office by reporting crimes, submitting tips, using interactive features, and receiving public-safety news and information. It also warns that the app is not for emergencies. The manifest lists an Inmate Roster quick link, Submit A Tip, News / Events, Sex Offenders, Most Wanted, Commissary, Inmate Communication, Commend an Employee, Comments/Complaints, Join Our Team, and Contact Us.
The research did not prove an app-only inmate roster field. The app and website appear to share the same OCV roster feed, so it should be treated as a mobile access channel for the same Tate County inmate records rather than a separate hidden database. The Tate County Sheriff MS App Store listing and the Google Play listing are the documented app access points.
The official OCV manifest shows the app features and linked jail services.
The manifest is useful because it ties the public roster, commissary, communication, and contact features to the sheriff's own app platform.
Request Older Tate County Records
When a Tate County inmate record is missing from the roster, older than the public feed, or needed as a copy, the researched fallback is a written Mississippi Public Records Act request to the Sheriff's Office. Mississippi Code Section 25-61-1 states the state's public-records policy, and Section 25-61-7 allows public bodies to charge costs reasonably calculated for searching, reviewing, redacting, copying, and delivering records. The sheriff may deny, delay, or redact material if an exemption, investigation limit, juvenile restriction, expunction order, or court order applies.
A good request should name the person, give the approximate booking date, list the record sought, and ask for releasable booking, charge, bond, and photo records. Do not ask the jail to interpret guilt, clear a warrant, or provide legal advice. The Mississippi Ethics Commission materials also matter because they show how public-record disputes are handled at the state level. In a Tate County Sheriff's Office complaint order, timing turned partly on what the requester had allowed in the request letter, so request wording and dates can matter.
MDOC VINELink BOP ICE
MDOC should be checked when a Tate County arrestee has been sentenced to state custody or is under state supervision. The MDOC locator asks for first name, last name, or MDOC ID number, and the alternate MS.gov interface provides search criteria for name or ID number. MDOC also has a records department for offender time, jail credit, and eligibility-date questions. Its prison visitation and family rules should not be applied to Tate County Jail unless the jail itself confirms the same rule.
Mississippi VINELink is a custody notification channel. It can help users register for updates where Tate County or state agency data is available, but it is not a complete local jail archive. BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. ICE covers adult immigration detainees or people in CBP custody more than 48 hours. No BOP, ICE, U.S. Marshals contract detention facility, or MDOC state prison was located inside Tate County, so those systems are lookup channels rather than local facility pages.
The MDOC inmate search shows the state-level fields used after a person leaves local jail custody for state corrections.
That state locator is the right next step when the county roster no longer fits the person's custody status.
