Lookup Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility Inmates

Chickasaw County Facility Overview

MDOC lists Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility as a regional facility in Houston, Mississippi, with Warden George Dallas. The 2026 PREA audit identifies the agency as the Chickasaw County Sheriff's Department and the governing or parent agency as the Mississippi Department of Corrections. That official mix is important. The building has a local county and sheriff connection, but many people housed there may be MDOC-designated regional inmates rather than fresh county-only detainees.

The facility detail research describes adult male custody, minimum and medium security, and no youthful inmates. The PREA audit reports seven housing units and notes that the regional facility does not typically house inmates with medical or mental-health needs that cannot be accommodated. In those cases, inmates may be sent back to MDOC. The facility therefore has a classification role, but it is not the same as a large state prison reception center or a city holding cell.

The screenshot from the official MDOC facility page shows the facility's state listing, regional type, address, phone, and warden information.

That MDOC listing is useful for confirming the facility identity before calling, searching, or sending mail.

Chickasaw County Facility Contact

Use the facility phone for current local custody questions, visitor confirmation, mail rules, and provider questions. Use the sheriff's office number for sheriff records and administrative routing. Use MDOC Records for state sentence, jail credit, offender time, or eligibility-date questions. The office that created or keeps the record is the best place to confirm it.

Chickasaw County Capacity and Population

The facility's population figures vary by source because each source measures a slightly different thing. The PREA audit reports a designed capacity of 330, a current population of 290, and a 12-month average daily population of 290. MDOC daily and monthly population reports use a 300 operational capacity, with the September 2025 monthly fact sheet listing 292 people and the June 2026 daily population report showing counts at or near capacity during June 1 through June 8.

Vera's 2023 county data lists a jail population of 344, with 320 held for state prison authorities. That figure supports a key local point: Chickasaw County's jail population is heavily shaped by the regional state-custody function. A person may be physically housed in Houston while legally counted as an MDOC-designated inmate. The Chickasaw County inmate population overview uses that distinction when comparing local custody and state custody.

Lookup Chickasaw Facility Inmates

No official Chickasaw County online jail roster or recent-bookings list was located in the research. The correct lookup path is a fallback chain, not a single roster search. Start with the facility for fresh custody, use MDOC for state-designated inmates, use VINELink for notifications, and use a public-records request when a booking sheet or releasable jail record is needed.

1. Call Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility at 662-456-3319 for current custody and ask whether the person is local pretrial, county sentenced, or MDOC-designated regional custody.
2. Search the MDOC inmate search by MDOC ID when known, or by first and last name, for sentenced or MDOC-designated inmates.
3. Use Mississippi VINELink to check or register for custody and case notifications when available.
4. Request local jail records from the sheriff or facility if the needed item is a booking sheet, local charge list, bond note, release date, or booking photo that is releasable.
5. Use court clerk or MEC access for filed charges after an arrest because court charges may differ from booking charges.

The screenshot from the MDOC inmate search shows the state locator fields used for name or MDOC ID searches.

Use the MDOC locator for state custody, then call the facility when the question is current housing, local instructions, or visit approval.

Visit Chickasaw County Inmates

Chickasaw-specific visitation days and hours were not located in the official research. Because the facility is MDOC-connected and regional, the safest visitor plan is to use MDOC general visitation rules as the baseline and call the facility before traveling. A visitor should confirm schedule, approval status, dress rules, property limits, and whether the visit is contact, noncontact, or otherwise restricted.

Health, staffing, lockdowns, or emergencies can alter visits. A 2022 local report noted a COVID-related visitation cancellation at the Chickasaw regional facility, which illustrates why same-day confirmation is practical even when general rules are known.

Mail Money and Phone

Mail, money, and phone rules need facility confirmation because the research found statewide MDOC guidance but no Chickasaw-specific vendor schedule or fee table. MDOC mail guidance says mail must be in a legal or letter envelope and that inmate response is not guaranteed. MDOC money guidance lists online Premier.Services and in-person Western Union options for inmate banking. MDOC phone guidance says state and private facilities use ConnectNetwork or ViaPath, while regional county prisons may be locally administered.

Address mail only after confirming the current format. The facility address in the research is Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility, 120 Lancaster Circle, Houston, MS 38851. Staff may require an MDOC number, full committed name, or housing identifier. If a third-party mail-scanning address is used, the facility should provide it directly.

Chickasaw Booking and Classification

Chickasaw-specific street-arrest intake forms were not published in the official sources, so the local description should stay conservative. A person arrested by the sheriff, Houston Police Department, Okolona Police Department, or another agency may be transported into local booking or routed through a different custody path based on warrant, offense, and court authority. Intake commonly involves identity confirmation, custody authority review, search, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photo, medical screening, PREA screening, and housing assignment.

The PREA audit gives concrete local classification facts. It reports seven housing units, minimum and medium custody levels, and exceeded standards for screening for risk of victimization and abusiveness, use of screening information, and inmate reporting. The audit also lists Health Service Administrator Lee Ann James, RN, and notes that the regional facility may return inmates to MDOC when medical or mental-health needs exceed available resources.

PREA Accreditation and Conditions

The strongest conditions source for Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility is the March 4, 2026 PREA final audit, with onsite dates of November 14 and 15, 2025. The audit reported 3 standards exceeded, 42 met, and 0 not met. It also described staff, contractor, volunteer, disability, language, and population facts from the audit period, including 48 staff with inmate contact and a day-one population of 298.

The audit noted one inmate with a physical disability, two with cognitive or functional disability, two limited-English-proficient inmates, one inmate identifying as lesbian, gay, or bisexual, and no transgender or intersex inmates on the first audit day. Those details should be read as audit-day facts, not permanent population counts. They are useful because they show the facility's oversight record is more specific than a generic jail description.

MDOC's 2025 regional meeting release also noted that Warden George Dallas of Chickasaw County Correctional Facility received an ACA Accreditation Award. The same release discussed regional facility operations and programs at a statewide level. Chickasaw-specific program lists, work programs, religious services, grievance data, or reentry schedules were not located in the official research, so those details should be confirmed with the facility rather than assumed.
