Coahoma County Detention Facility Overview
The Coahoma County Detention Facility is operated by the Coahoma County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's jail page identifies it as the central holding facility for criminals in the county. It houses prisoners from municipal police departments and from the Coahoma County Sheriff's Department, so arrests made by local city agencies are routed to this county facility for jail custody.
The facility holds felony and misdemeanor prisoners. The present building was constructed in 2020 and can house a maximum of 200 inmates. The sheriff's mission statement emphasizes professional services, fair and impartial law enforcement, statutory and judicial limits, and constitutional rights. No official housing-unit, pod, work-release, medical-unit, female-unit, or classification-unit details were published in the research file.
The sheriff's homepage also places the jail within a larger county public-safety system that includes civil process, courts, investigations, patrol, crime tips, press releases, sex-offender registry links, and public information alerts. Those services can give context, but the detention facility remains the custody point for jail records and roster questions.
Coahoma County Facility Capacity
The strongest facility population fact is the rated maximum capacity. The official sheriff jail page gives a maximum capacity of 200 inmates and states that the present facility was built in 2020. The public roster showed 0 current inmates and 0 released inmates during inspection, but that should be read as a public roster state, not as an official facility census.
Look Up Coahoma County Detention Facility Inmates
The correct lookup for this county jail is the Coahoma County Sheriff's Office roster. It covers local county jail custody, not MDOC prison custody, BOP federal custody, or ICE detention. During research, the roster had Current and Released views, name ordering, pagination, and a five-minute auto-refresh behavior, but no live profile was available to open.
- Open the official sheriff roster and check whether the current or released view is active.
- Use the Current/Released toggle if the person's custody status is unclear.
- If records are shown, use Order By: Name to scan the list by name.
- Open a visible profile link if available and compare the details with court or bond information.
- Call (662) 624-3085 if the roster is empty, the arrest is recent, or a transfer is possible.
Coahoma County Detention Facility Contact
The jail and sheriff complex is separate from the county courthouse. Use the Justice Drive address for jail custody, jail roster, visit, and sheriff contact questions. Use the courthouse and clerk offices for court files and formal case records.

|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | No published schedule found | Day, time, housing limits, arrival time, and photo ID rules. |
| Video visitation | No vendor located | Whether video visits are available and how they are scheduled. |

Mail and Money at Coahoma County Jail
The research file did not locate an official Coahoma mail format, commissary vendor, inmate phone provider, video visit provider, money-deposit portal, fee schedule, tablet program, or deposit limit. Do not borrow vendor names from other Mississippi counties. Call the jail before sending mail or money so the inmate name, booking number requirement, address format, and allowed payment method can be confirmed.
| Service | Official Coahoma Detail | Instruction |
|---|---|---|
| Format not published | Confirm whether booking number, housing, or specific address format is required. | |
| Phone or video | No provider located | Ask whether accounts are needed and which vendor, if any, is authorized. |
| Money deposit | No vendor or fee confirmed | Do not use a third-party payment site until the jail confirms it. |
Booking at Coahoma County Detention Facility
Official sources do not publish a detailed intake manual, but local agency roles support the basic custody flow. A person arrested by a municipal police department or by a sheriff deputy is taken to the detention facility. Intake can include identification, warrants and hold checks, booking paperwork, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photography when required, screening, classification, and housing assignment.
After booking, the court path starts. Justice Court can issue warrants and conduct preliminary hearings in felony matters. County Court handles misdemeanor matters and felony preliminary hearings concurrently with Justice Court. The Circuit Clerk receives indictments, motions, and other criminal papers in Circuit and County courts. The jail record and the court charge record should be checked separately.
Coahoma County Transfers and Other Custody
Once a person is sentenced to Mississippi state prison, use MDOC rather than the county jail roster. No MDOC prison is physically listed in Coahoma County, but the state facilities list includes prisons and regional facilities elsewhere in Mississippi. MDOC also lists a Coahoma Probation and Parole Office in Clarksdale, which is a community-corrections office and not a detention facility.
| After Local Jail | Where to Search | Why |
|---|---|---|
| State sentence | MDOC inmate search | Sentenced state prisoners are tracked by MDOC. |
| Federal sentence | BOP inmate locator | No BOP prison was found in Coahoma County. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | No ICE detention facility was found in Coahoma County. |
| Custody notifications | Mississippi VINE | Use for custody-status and case notifications. |
Directions to Coahoma County Detention Facility
The official jail address is 1 Justice Drive, Clarksdale, MS 38614. Visitors coming into Clarksdale should route to Justice Drive for jail business rather than to the county government address at 115 First Street. The courthouse and court offices are relevant for criminal case records, but jail custody, jail visits, and sheriff contact start at the Justice Drive complex unless staff direct otherwise.
Note: Call (662) 624-3085 before leaving to confirm visitor entrance, parking, ID rules, and current visitation availability.
Coahoma County Facility Sources
The MDOC Coahoma Probation and Parole Office page is useful because it shows a local MDOC presence in Clarksdale while confirming that the office is not a jail or prison.
That distinction helps keep county jail lookup separate from state community-corrections contact.
The MDOC facilities list shows state, regional, and private correctional facilities elsewhere in Mississippi.
Use that list only after a person has moved from county jail into the state corrections system.
