Grenada County Jail Roster Status
No official Grenada County jail roster, sheriff-hosted inmate search, public mugshot gallery, or sheriff mobile app was located in the official sources reviewed. Several nonofficial pages claim to offer Grenada County inmate lookup, but commercial roster and mugshot pages are not reliable source channels for custody status. The official path is more manual: use the Grenada County Sheriff's Office and the Grenada County Adult Detention Center, then check VINELink and the state or federal locators when local custody is not confirmed.
The sheriff-operated jail is the local custody point for adults arrested in Grenada County, people held on warrants, pretrial detainees, short local sentences, and holds pending transfer. City of Grenada arrests should still be checked through the county detention center once booking is complete. The Mississippi Sheriffs' Association directory lists the sheriff contact at 35 Doak Street, Grenada, MS 38901, phone 662-227-2877, and fax 662-227-2872. The Mississippi Association of Supervisors Grenada County page lists David Garrett Hartley as sheriff.
| Search field | Type | Required | Grenada County notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No official roster located | Not available | Not available | Do not rely on invented online fields for Grenada County jail custody. |
| Full legal name | Phone or written request detail | Strongly recommended | Use exact spelling and include aliases if known. |
| Date of birth | Phone or written request detail | Strongly recommended | Helps jail staff avoid wrong-person matches. |
| Arrest date or agency | Phone or written request detail | Helpful | Identify whether the arrest came from sheriff, city police, warrant, or another agency. |
| Case or booking number | Phone or written request detail | Helpful if known | Use court paperwork, bond paperwork, or jail correspondence if available. |
Find Grenada County Jail Custody
Because there is no confirmed official online Grenada County inmate roster, the best search is a fallback chain. Start with the local jail. Then use state notification tools and downstream custody systems. This avoids a common error: assuming that a person is not in custody just because one website has no result. A person may have bonded out, been released, transferred to MDOC, moved on a federal hold, held under an ICE detainer, or not yet entered into a public feed.
- Call the Grenada County Sheriff's Office at 662-227-2877 and ask for detention, booking, or jail records. Provide the person's full name, date of birth, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- If the arrest was by the City of Grenada Police Department, use the city police contact page for arrest-agency context, then route custody questions to the county jail after booking.
- Search Mississippi VINELink and register for custody notifications. VINELink can help with participating jail and MDOC custody updates, but feed timing can vary.
- If sentencing has occurred, search the MDOC inmate search by name or MDOC ID number instead of the county jail.
- For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator. If there is no BOP result, federal court or U.S. Marshals channels may still matter before designation.
- For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. ICE custody is separate from the county jail and MDOC.
- If no tool answers the question, send a written public-records request for the jail docket, booking sheet, release record, or related sheriff record.
Keep booking and court records separate. The jail can usually address custody, booking date, holds, and release status. The clerk or court system controls the formal case record after charges are filed. For charge filings after booking, the related court route is described on the Grenada County court records after jail arrest page.
Grenada County Jail Contact
The primary local facility is the Grenada County Adult Detention Center, commonly called the Grenada County Jail. The research found the official sheriff address through the statewide sheriff directory. A Mississippi MAGIC procurement document also lists a 160-bed main corrections facility at 60 Green Street, which may reflect connected government property or a detention-specific location. For visits, mail, bond, and in-person records requests, use the sheriff directory contact first and confirm the correct entrance before traveling.
Grenada County Adult Detention Center
Grenada County Sheriff's Office
35 Doak Street
Grenada, MS 38901
662-227-2877
Fax: 662-227-2872
Operator: Sheriff David Garrett Hartley, also listed as Garrett Hartley
The City of Grenada Police Department is at 15 North Main Street, Grenada, MS 38901, phone 662-226-1211 or 662-227-3455, email pd@cityofgrenada.ms. The city page does not publish a separate municipal jail or city inmate roster. Once a city arrest becomes a jail booking, custody checks should be directed to the Grenada County Adult Detention Center.
Grenada County Jail Docket Fields
Mississippi law gives Grenada County inmate records a clear public-record base even without a live web roster. Mississippi Code Section 19-25-63 requires every sheriff to keep a jail docket as a public record. The docket records the legal authority for custody, the prisoner name, the date received, the cause of imprisonment, and release or transfer details. It is not just a mugshot list.
The Mississippi Public Records Act also supports access to public records unless an exemption applies. Agencies may charge reasonable costs for search, review, redaction, copying, and production. If a record is not posted online, a written request should name the person, date range, booking or case number if known, arresting agency, and the exact record sought.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Prisoner name | The name listed in the jail docket or jail-list record. |
| Date received or booked | When the person was received into county jail custody. |
| Date of arrest and commitment | The arrest or commitment date required by the jail docket statute. |
| Warrant or mittimus | The legal paper or court order used to receive the person into jail. |
| Issuing authority | The court, judge, or officer tied to the warrant or mittimus when recorded. |
| Crime or cause | The listed charge, warrant reason, hold, or other cause of imprisonment. |
| Bond | Bond amount or bond status when included in the jail or court record. |
| Release or discharge | How the person left custody, if the entry is complete and public. |
| Transfer receipt | Authority or receipt when the person is sent to state prison. |
| Mugshot | Online publication was not confirmed for Grenada County; request through sheriff records if needed. |
Grenada County Inmate Locator Chain
A Grenada County inmate search should shift systems when the custody status changes. County jail records are for local custody before trial, short sentences, warrants, and holds. MDOC records are for sentenced state offenders after transfer. BOP records are for federal inmates, usually after designation to federal custody. ICE ODLS is for immigration detention. VINELink can support notification, but it is not a substitute for the official jail or agency record.
| Custody type | Best place to search | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Grenada County pretrial or short local custody | Call or visit the sheriff/detention center; request jail docket records if needed. | No online roster result does not prove release. |
| Mississippi sentenced state prisoner | Use MDOC inmate search by first name, last name, or MDOC ID. | MDOC is not the first stop for a new county booking. |
| Federal custody | Use the BOP locator by number or name. | BOP may show no record before federal designation. |
| Immigration custody | Use ICE ODLS. | An ICE detainer in jail is not the same as ICE custody location. |
| Notifications | Use Mississippi VINELink and SAVIN registration. | Notification feeds can lag or depend on agency participation. |
The Mississippi VINELink state page is useful when the local roster is unavailable and the reader needs custody-status notifications.
VINELink is not a complete jail docket, but it gives a second official custody channel when phone verification and public-record requests are also needed.
- Booking
- The jail intake step that records identity, arrest authority, property, fingerprints, photo, and housing decision.
- Detainer
- A request or hold from another agency that can block release even if local bond is posted.
- Mittimus
- A court order committing a person to jail or prison.
- MDOC
- The Mississippi Department of Corrections, used for sentenced state offenders rather than most current county-jail bookings.
Grenada County Booking and Bond
Official Grenada County booking timelines were not published in the sources located. A normal county-jail process may include identity verification, arresting-agency entry, property inventory, security search, fingerprints, booking photograph, medical or mental-health screening, and classification. Classification means the jail assigns a custody or housing level based on safety, charge, medical, and management factors. Do not assume a booking will appear online at a fixed time because no official Grenada County roster feed was found.
Bond is controlled by a judge or court order, not by a third-party website. Some warrants may have a preset bond. Other cases require first appearance or a later court order. Call the sheriff/detention center first and ask for the current bond amount, accepted bond type, posting hours, and whether any holds or detainers exist. If the matter belongs to Justice Court, contact the Grenada County Justice Court nCourt portal or the clerk. If it is a city case, contact Municipal Court.
| Bond issue | Grenada County route |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | Confirm amount, payee, location, and accepted forms directly with jail or court staff. |
| Surety bond | Use a licensed bonding company only after verifying the person is eligible for release. |
| Personal recognizance | Release by court order based on written promise and conditions. |
| No-bond hold | Release must wait for court action or clearance of the other agency hold. |
| Property bond | Ask the court whether real-property-backed bond is available and what paperwork is required. |
Note: Ask whether there are MDOC, federal, ICE, probation, parole, or other-county holds before paying any bond.
Grenada County Jail Visits
Official jail-specific visitation days, hours, lobby rules, video visit vendor, and appointment rules were not published in the official sources located. A social-media search snippet suggested that visitor approval forms may be required, but the underlying page was not fully accessible during research. The safe rule is to call the detention center before traveling, bring government photo ID, and confirm approval forms, dress code, child visitor rules, lockdown status, and allowed property.
| Visit or contact type | Published schedule | Status to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| In-person jail visits | Official schedule not published in located sources. | Call 662-227-2877 before traveling. |
| Video visits | No official vendor or schedule located. | Ask whether video visits are offered and how accounts are created. |
| Attorney visits | Professional visit hours not located. | Attorneys should contact detention staff directly. |
| Visitor approval | Approval may be required, but current form process was not verified. | Ask whether forms or appointments are needed. |
| Official format not published. | Confirm inmate name, ID or booking number format, and approved items before mailing. |
For mail, a conservative address format is the inmate's full name, Grenada County Adult Detention Center, 35 Doak Street, Grenada, MS 38901, but it should be confirmed before sending. Do not mail cash, personal checks, stamps, Polaroids, or packages unless the jail approves them. For commissary, the research located a Tiger Commissary reference to Grenada County Detention Center, but the jail should still confirm custody, inmate identifier, and approved deposit channels before money is sent.
Request Grenada County Booking Records
A written records request is the main backup when no official Grenada County inmate roster is online. Address it to the sheriff's office or deliver it in person if local staff instruct that route. State that the request is made under the Mississippi Public Records Act, then describe the jail docket entry, booking sheet, mugshot, bond record, release record, or jail-list entry sought. Include enough identifiers to narrow the search, but avoid sending sensitive data through an unconfirmed channel.
The request should ask for the statutory basis for any denial or redaction. Some details may be withheld for active investigations, juvenile matters, sealed or expunged cases, medical privacy, victim privacy, or another legal exemption. If a charge has moved into court, the court clerk may hold the better record. Circuit matters route through Grenada County Circuit Court and Mississippi Electronic Courts, Justice Court handles many lower-court and preliminary matters, and Municipal Court handles city cases within its jurisdiction.
