Tate County Jail Overview
Tate County Jail is operated by the Tate County Sheriff's Office at 1 Justice Drive in Senatobia. It is the only detention facility found in official Tate County and sheriff sources during the research pass. The facility holds local arrestees, pretrial detainees, people held on writs, warrants, contempt or failure-to-appear entries, probation violations, drug-court sanctions, bond surrender, and local sentenced inmates when a court keeps them in county custody.
The jail is a county jail, not a state prison or federal detention center. That distinction matters for search. The official Tate County inmate roster covers current local jail entries. Sentenced state prisoners move to the MDOC inmate search after transfer. BOP and ICE tools are separate federal systems and were not tied to any local detention facility inside Tate County.

Search Tate County Jail Inmates
The Tate County Jail lookup process starts with the sheriff's online roster. The roster is free, public, and built from an OCV feed that exposes search and sort controls. The feed is configured by date descending, so the newest visible bookings appear first. A last-name search is usually the best starting point because roster titles display in last-name-first format.
- Open the official Tate County Jail inmate roster.
- Search by the person's last name or scan the most recent booking entries.
- Open the person card to review age, race, sex field, booking date, image, charges, bond type, and bond amount.
- Call Tate County Jail at 662-562-5466 if a new booking, release, or transfer is not clear online.
- Use MDOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink only when the person is outside current Tate County Jail custody or when notification is needed.
The roster is also available through the Tate County Sheriff MS app. Research did not prove an app-only roster field. The app and the website appear to share the same OCV roster feed, along with public-safety features such as Submit A Tip, Most Wanted, sex-offender links, commissary, inmate communication, and contact tools.
Tate County Jail Roster Fields
A Tate County Jail roster profile is a booking and custody record. It is useful for current custody, bond rows, and charge labels, but it does not replace court records. The inspected feed showed public fields for name, age, race, sex, booking date, charge descriptions, bond type, bond amount, and image. It did not show booking number, date of birth, housing unit, arresting agency, court date, release date, warrant number, or case number.
| Roster Field | How to Read It |
|---|---|
| Name/title | Displayed as LAST, FIRST MIDDLE. |
| Booking Date | Full date and time of jail intake. |
| Charge(s) | One or more rows with statute fragments or shorthand and charge labels. |
| Bond Type | Observed values include Surety, Cash, ROR, No Bond, and N/A. |
| Bond Amount | Per-charge amount or N/A, not always a total release amount. |
| Image | Booking photo for many entries or a missing-image placeholder. |
The OCV roster feed screenshot shows the feed that backs the public jail roster.
That feed explains why a person may have several charge rows, each with its own bond type and amount.
Tate County Jail Contact
The official contact feed separates dispatch, the sheriff's office, and the jail. For custody confirmation, roster questions, visits, mail, commissary, or phone account checks, the jail number is the main researched contact. The sheriff office's published lobby hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday. Booking and intake hours were not separately published, so the page should not claim a 24-hour public counter.

Tate County Jail Visitation
A detailed Tate County Jail visitation schedule, visitor approval process, dress code, mail policy, attorney-visit rule, video-visit schedule, and lobby checklist were not located in the official sources inspected. That gap is important. The correct content is to call the jail before traveling or mailing anything, not to borrow rules from another county or from MDOC prison visitation pages.
| Topic | Published Tate County Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | Schedule not published in inspected sources. | Call 662-562-5466 before arrival. |
| Video visits | Not confirmed for Tate County Jail. | Ask whether City Tele Coin services include video for this facility. |
| No official mail policy found. | Confirm address format and restrictions with the jail. | |
| Attorney visits | Not published. | Attorneys should contact the jail directly. |
Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, and the current schedule with Tate County Jail before traveling to Senatobia.
Tate County Jail Money
The sheriff manifest links the Inmate Info submenu to CommissaryDeposit.com for commissary and City Tele Coin for inmate communication. CommissaryDeposit.com says users can deposit money by credit or debit card and need the state and facility plus the inmate's ID or name. The research did not locate Tate County-specific fee amounts, deposit limits, kiosk rules, phone rates, or video pricing. Those details should be confirmed through the vendor and the jail before money is sent.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Research Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Commissary deposits | CommissaryDeposit.com | Tate-specific fees not captured. |
| Inmate communication | City Tele Coin | Tate-specific rates not located. |
| Jail confirmation | 662-562-5466 | Use before any deposit or account setup. |
The sheriff manifest screenshot in the build captures these linked services and app features from the official OCV configuration.
The manifest supports the vendor links, but it does not supply fee schedules or facility-specific service rules.
Tate County Jail Booking
Local official sources did not publish a full booking-process narrative. The safe account is based on observed roster fields and general Mississippi custody practice. After arrest by the sheriff, a municipal police department, a state agency, or another officer, a person may be transported to Tate County Jail if local custody is required. Intake creates the jail record, records the booking date and identifying fields shown to the public, connects the person to charges or court holds, and may publish a booking image when available.
Booking charges are not the final court record. A prosecutor or court may later amend, reduce, dismiss, or indict formal charges. Tate County Circuit Clerk duties include receiving and filing indictments, motions, and other criminal case matters in circuit court. For charge changes after arrest, the court record should be checked through Tate County court access and Mississippi Electronic Courts where available.
Tate County Jail Bond Rows
Tate County roster entries show bond data by charge. Observed bond types include Surety, Cash, ROR, No Bond, and N/A. A person may have one charge with a surety bond, another with no bond, and another with an N/A field. That means the public roster is a starting point, not a guarantee of release. Holds, writs, warrants, probation violations, drug-court sanctions, contempt entries, state or federal detainers, and court changes may block release or change the amount.
- Surety
- A licensed bondsman or surety may post if the court allows it.
- Cash
- Cash payment is required for that listed bond condition.
- ROR
- Release on recognizance, with no paid bond amount in the observed example.
- No Bond
- Release is not allowed by payment alone on that charge or hold.
Tate County Jail Transfers
People do not always stay in Tate County Jail until every record issue is complete. A person may bond out, be released by court order, move to MDOC after sentencing, move under a writ, or be transferred into a federal or immigration process. That is why the absence of a roster entry does not prove there was no arrest or no custody. If the jail confirms release or transfer, the next search channel depends on the destination.
