Stone County Jail Roster Overview

The Stone County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail. Sheriff Todd Stewart serves as the county jailor. His office posts an inmate roster online for the public. The roster is hosted on a Tiger/TCSI platform and linked from the sheriff's page. It carries the heading Stone County Detention Center at the top. The list refreshes as staff process new bookings and releases. At one recent check the Stone County roster held about 47 people. Each name opens a short profile with booking and charge data. The tool is built for quick, name-based lookups rather than deep case research.

The roster is informational only. The county makes a reasonable effort at accuracy but offers no guarantee, and accepts no liability for errors. It does not list every person tied to a Stone County case. People held by federal agencies do not appear here. Anyone moved into Mississippi prison custody drops off the local list. Immigration detainees are not tracked on this roster either. For someone sentenced to state prison, a different search applies. The booking entry is a snapshot of custody, not a finding of guilt.

How to Use the Stone County Inmate Roster

The roster opens straight to the active list. You reach it through the sheriff's office page or the direct Stone County jail roster link. No login or account is needed. The steps below walk through a basic search and a profile lookup.

1. Open the roster and read the disclaimer noting the data is informational only.
2. Choose a tab: View Active Roster, Recently Released, or Recently Booked.
3. Type a last name in the filter field above the active roster to narrow the list.
4. Scan the result columns for Action, Name, Gender, and Age.
5. Click Select Inmate to open the person's full profile with charges and bond.

The profile page can also link to a gift and deposit service. Look for a Send An Inmate A Gift link, which opens Tiger Commissary.

Stone County Roster Search Fields

The roster keeps its search controls simple. There is one main filter and a set of tabs. The table below lists what the portal accepts and what each control does. Most users only need the last-name filter to find someone fast.

The result grid shows four columns: Action, Name, Gender, and Age. There is no date-of-birth or booking-number search box. To pull more detail, open the profile itself.

What a Stone County Inmate Profile Shows

Each profile gathers booking facts in one view. It opens with the facility name and the standard disclaimer. A photo and basic identifiers follow. The lower part of the page lists the charges. The table below maps each field to what it tells you.

The profile does not show a date of birth, a Social Security number, or a home address. Charge type reads as Misdemeanor or Felony. Bond shows a dollar figure or N/A, and fine often reads $0.00.

Stone County Jail vs MDOC Custody

Custody comes in two layers, and they use two different search tools. The county jail holds people who are newly arrested, awaiting court, or serving short county time. Once a person is sentenced to prison, the Mississippi Department of Corrections takes over. At that point the local roster no longer tracks them. You then switch to the statewide inmate search instead.

The state tool is the place to look for sentenced inmates. You can review it through the MDOC inmate search page, which accepts a first name, a last name, or an MDOC ID number.

This state search covers people in prison and regional custody across Mississippi. It is the right tool when the county roster comes up empty for a sentenced person. The distinction matters because a Stone County booking and a state prison record are kept in separate systems. Checking both rules out the gap between local jail time and prison time.

Stone County Regional Correctional Facility

The county jail is the Stone County Regional Correctional Facility, also called the Stone County Detention Center. It sits on Industrial Park Road in Wiggins, alongside the sheriff's office. The Mississippi Department of Corrections lists it as a Regional facility. Warden John Moran oversees daily operations. For booking or custody questions the online roster cannot answer, the jail information line is the fastest route.

You can see the facility on the official MDOC Stone County facility page, which confirms the address and warden.

The contact card below pulls together the address, the phone lines, and office hours. Call the jail line first for inmate-specific questions and the sheriff's main line for administrative matters.

Note: The jail line at 601-928-7042 is the best source for questions the public roster does not answer, since published online data may lag.

Booking, Charges, and Bond in Stone County

Booking starts the moment an arrest is made. A deputy, a Wiggins police officer, or a state trooper can make the arrest. The person is then taken to the Stone County Regional Correctional Facility. Staff log a booking number and date. They record demographics and take a photo. Charges and any bond and fine amounts are entered next. That entry is what feeds the public roster profile.

A first appearance follows soon after. Justice Court judges hold sessions at the jail three times each week. The goal is to protect each person's right to appear within three days of arrest. The Circuit Clerk's criminal page notes an initial appearance usually happens within 48 hours. At that hearing the judge asks whether the person can hire an attorney. If not, the court provides a petition for a court-appointed attorney.

Bond and charge detail shows on the roster profile per charge. A deeper look at filed charges lives in the Stone County arrest records and court charges pages. Felony cases begin in Justice Court or Municipal Court, then move to Circuit Court if a grand jury indicts. The roster reflects only the booking, not the later case outcome.

Recently Booked and Recently Released

The roster splits its data across three tabs. The active list is the default view. Two more tabs track movement in and out of the Stone County jail. Recently Booked shows the latest intakes. Recently Released shows people who left custody in the recent window. These two views help when a name is not on the active list yet, or just dropped off it.

Use the tabs together for a fuller picture. A new arrest may take a short time to post. A release can remove a name before you reach the page. Checking Recently Booked and Recently Released fills those gaps. Still, the lists are not a complete arrest history, and they do not replace official court records.

The sheriff also keeps a jail docket by law. That docket notes the warrant or mittimus for each person placed in the county jail. It is an internal record, not the public online list. If a booking detail is missing from the roster, a records request to the sheriff is the route. The full court file, once a case opens, sits with the Circuit Clerk rather than the jail.

Stone County Inmate Visitation Schedule

Visitation at the Stone County facility runs on a zone-based schedule. Each housing zone has set days and times across the month. The schedule below comes from the official visitation packet. Read your inmate's zone first, then match it to the right weekend slot. Times shift between morning and afternoon by zone.

Several rules apply to every visit. No visits happen on a fifth Saturday or fifth Sunday. Only six visitors are allowed per inmate during a visitation. No new visitors may enter during the last 30 minutes. Visitors 14 and older must show valid photo ID. Children under 14 must present a state birth certificate at each visit, brought by the accompanying adult. The full visitation packet, with the visitor application and dress code, is on the county site.

Note: Visitors should confirm the current zone schedule with the facility before traveling, since housing assignments and visit days can change.

Contacting and Funding a Stone County Inmate

Reaching an inmate runs through a few approved channels. The facility did not publish a full mail-format rule set in the materials reviewed. Because of that, the safest step is to call the jail at 601-928-7042 for current mail guidance. Do not assume a policy that is not posted. Staff can confirm what they accept and how to address it.

Money and phone access use outside vendors. Money orders have not been accepted by mail or in person since January 1, 2013. Funds now post through a kiosk in the facility lobby or online at Tigerdeposits.com. Deposits are said to post within minutes. Phone accounts run through ConnectNetwork.com or Gettingout.com.

The contact options below cover the common needs. Keep the booking number handy when you call or deposit funds.

• Inmate funds: kiosk in the facility lobby or Tigerdeposits.com.
• Phone accounts: AdvancePay at 800-483-8314 via ConnectNetwork.com.
• Phone accounts: GettingOut at 866-516-0115 via Gettingout.com.
• Commissary gifts: the Send An Inmate A Gift link on the roster opens Tiger Commissary.
• Mail rules: call the jail at 601-928-7042 to confirm current guidance.

Stone County Sex Offender Registry

The sheriff's office also points the public to the sex offender registry. This is separate from the jail roster. It tracks registered offenders living in the area, not people in custody. The state runs the searchable database. Use it to check an address or a name against the registry.

You can search the Mississippi sex offender registry by name or location. Questions about offenders in Stone County go to Administrative Assistant Hailey Garner at 601-928-3191. For active warrants tied to a person, the Stone County warrant records page covers how to check and what to do next. The registry, the jail roster, and warrant tools each answer a different question, so pick the one that fits your search.

Keep the limits of each tool in mind. The registry lists registered offenders, not current inmates. The jail roster lists current custody, not registry status. A federal hold or transfer can move a person off the county list entirely. When a search comes up short, call the office that owns the record. A phone call often resolves what the public databases leave open.
