Our Data · Mississippi Jail Records

Mississippi Jail Records is a dedicated platform aimed at enhancing transparency regarding individuals incarcerated in county jails across Mississippi. The website provides access to a comprehensive database containing information about the identity, duration of incarceration, and reasons for detention of inmates. While acknowledging the significant issue of prolonged detention prior to trial and indictment within the state, the project focuses on presenting factual data sourced from Mississippi sheriffs without verifying its accuracy. Users are encouraged to consider the variances in the underlying causes contributing to the backlog in the criminal justice system across different counties. The site serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand more about the state's incarceration practices and public records related to jail data.
