Lowndes County Jail Roster
The official online path for current Lowndes County inmate records is the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office Inmate Roster. The public route is OCV powered, and the underlying county feed is the official OCV/VINE inmate data file. Research inspected on June 18-19, 2026 found current entries tied to the Lowndes County Sheriff's Department and the holding facility code MSLOWNDESDC. That code points to the Lowndes County Adult Detention Center, the county jail in Columbus.
The Lowndes County jail roster is a current-custody tool. It is not a full criminal-history report and it is not the same thing as a court docket. A person may appear on the roster after intake, then disappear after release, transfer, bond, or movement to another system. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, use the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate locator. Federal sentenced prisoners use the BOP inmate locator, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS.
The Sheriff's site is also app-forward. The official Lowndes County Sheriff (MS) app is listed in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. The web manifest exposes Inmate Search, Most Wanted, Sex Offenders, Submit A Tip, Contact Us, visitation, and canteen links. The app should be treated as another official navigation route, not as proof that every record is app-only.
Use the Lowndes County Roster
Start with the sheriff roster when the person was recently arrested in Lowndes County or is believed to be at the Adult Detention Center. The roster list is configured as a searchable and sortable OCV list. The manifest shows a default date-descending sort and page limits, so new bookings may be near the top, but name search is still the cleaner route when the person's spelling is known.
- Open the official Lowndes County Inmate Roster route from the Sheriff's Office.
- Search or sort the OCV roster list. Use the last name first if the name is common.
- Open the profile that matches the person. Confirm the booked date, custody status, and holding facility.
- If the person was just arrested or just bonded out, call the jail at (662) 328-6788 because the online list can lag.
- If the person is not in local custody, move to MDOC, BOP, ICE, or the court clerk path based on the case type.
The raw feed itself is useful for understanding what the public record can contain, but most readers should use the sheriff's normal roster page first. The JSON feed includes fields that are not always presented in the same way in the public interface. It also includes VINE and Appriss image fields, which is why VINELink is a sound companion for release or transfer notice.
Lowndes County Roster Fields
The roster search is not a traditional court database. It is a current inmate list. The public web route is JavaScript-rendered, while the OCV manifest and feed show the search and record behavior behind the feature.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text in OCV list | Unspecified | The sheriff site enables search for the inmate roster feature. |
| Sort | Dropdown or control | No | The manifest default is date descending, with sorting shown. |
| Inmate record title | Result field | Not applicable | Names appear in last-name-first format, such as a roster title field. |
| Inmate ID | Profile field | Not applicable | Local or VINE custody ID, not an MDOC number. |
| Booked Date | Profile field | Not applicable | Booking timestamp is shown in Central time in inspected records. |
| Holding Facility | Profile field | Not applicable | Inspected records used MSLOWNDESDC. |

Lowndes County Inmate Profile
A public Lowndes County inmate profile can carry more than a name. The inspected feed included physical descriptors, image links, custody timing, reporting agency information, and charge-array keys. The charge values were not always rendered in the inspected content, so booking charges should be confirmed through the jail or the court file before making decisions.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and title | Last-name-first roster title and full name where available. |
| Inmate ID | Local or VINE custody identifier assigned to the jail record. |
| Mugshot images | Small and large VINE image URLs for inspected current records. |
| Booked date | The date and time the booking was entered into custody data. |
| Custody status | Observed value IN, plus a custody status date. |
| Physical descriptors | Height, weight, gender, race, age, eye color, and hair color fields. |
| Holding facility | The Lowndes detention-center code MSLOWNDESDC. |
| Reporting agency | Lowndes County Sheriff's Department address and phone. |
County State Federal Inmates
The most common search mistake is using the wrong custody system. The Lowndes County inmate roster covers the jail population under the sheriff, including pretrial detainees, people booked by local agencies, short local sentences, and holds visible in the county feed. It does not replace MDOC records after a felony sentence, federal Bureau of Prisons records, or ICE detainee records.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail | Lowndes County Sheriff roster | Recent booking, local custody, jail status. |
| Release notification | VINELink | Custody-change alerts tied to VINE data. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | MDOC inmate locator | State prison custody after sentencing. |
| Federal prisoner | BOP locator | Federal inmates from 1982 forward. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE ODLS | A-number or biographical detainee search. |
The MDOC locator screenshot comes from Mississippi's statewide inmate search, which is the right place after a Lowndes County felony sentence moves out of local jail custody.
Lowndes County Jail Contact
The local jail and sheriff's office share the public safety campus in Columbus. Use the jail contact for recent custody questions, booking-record routing, visitation confirmation, and records-custodian direction. Official sources did not locate a separate online booking-record request form for the sheriff, so the phone and in-person channel matter.

Lowndes County Booking Process
Lowndes County sources did not publish a full intake manual, but the roster fields show the public-facing result of booking. A person arrested by the sheriff, Columbus Police, a municipal agency, a state trooper, or a warrant officer is brought to the Adult Detention Center. Jail staff verify identity, create or update a custody account, record a booked date, assign custody status, collect descriptors, attach a photo, and mark the holding facility.
After intake, the court path depends on charge type. Justice Court handles felony preliminaries and misdemeanors outside municipal limits. Circuit Court handles felony criminal cases. County Court handles criminal appeals from municipal and justice courts. The booking charge is an allegation at intake. Court records after the arrest can change when the prosecutor screens, files, amends, dismisses, or presents the case to a grand jury.
- Booking
- The jail intake event after arrest.
- Detainer
- A hold from another agency or court that may block release.
- PR bond
- Personal recognizance release without paying the full cash amount.
- First appearance
- An early court event for rights, charges, and bond review.
Lowndes County Inmate Visits
The sheriff's OCV manifest points Inmate Visitation Information to City Tele Coin. It does not publish a full local visit schedule in the retrieved source. That means visitors should not assume a day, time, dress code, minor-child rule, or entry process from a third-party page. Call the Adult Detention Center before travel and check the vendor account process if video visitation is used.
| Topic | Official Finding | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| Visit schedule | Not published in official retrieved pages. | Call (662) 328-6788 before travel. |
| Video or phone vendor | City Tele Coin route appears in the sheriff manifest. | Check vendor account rules and confirm with jail staff. |
| Visitor ID and dress code | Not published in the retrieved official source. | Ask the jail before arrival. |
| Attorney visits | No local rule page located. | Coordinate directly with detention staff. |
Lowndes County Mail Money
The sheriff's manifest routes Canteen Information to Inmate Canteen / Team3. It routes Mail Information and Facility Rules to coming-soon JSON pages in the retrieved source, so no official local mail format or fee table was found. Use the vendor's facility selection and confirm with the jail before sending funds. Do not assume that the local VINE inmate ID is the same identifier required by the canteen vendor.
| Service | Documented Route | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Mail rules | Sheriff menu exists, but retrieved page was coming soon. | Confirm address format and restrictions with the jail. |
| Canteen | Inmate Canteen / Team3 | Fees and accepted IDs must be checked at transaction time. |
| State-prison money | MDOC money transfer page | Separate from county jail canteen. |
Note: Confirm custody with the Lowndes County jail before scheduling a visit, sending mail, or depositing money.
State prisoner money is different from county jail canteen. If the person has transferred to MDOC after a Lowndes County sentence, use MDOC family and friends resources instead of the county vendor. Mixing the two systems can delay money, mail, or visit setup because the county jail and state prison banking systems are separate.
