Covington County Inmate Population is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, accept money, schedule visits, or pull official booking, jail, court, or MDOC records. Use the official offices below for those actions.
Where to Check Records
For current county jail custody, start with the Covington County Sheriff's Office and jail. The official sheriff page lists Sheriff Darrell M. Perkins and identifies the sheriff as the county jailer. No public jail lobby hours were located in the research, so call before visiting, mailing a request, or trying to send money.
Covington County Jail / Covington County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility
1107 Main St.
Collins, MS 39428
Phone: 601-765-8281
Fax: 601-765-3200
Use the record type to choose the next office or locator. A recent arrest may begin with a police department, but county jail custody and jail docket records route through the sheriff once the person is booked into local detention.
- For someone in the county jail, use the jail inmate records page and then call the sheriff at 601-765-8281.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and ask the sheriff whether a booking photo is releasable.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and contact the court that has the case.
- For the local facility page, see the Covington County Jail / Covington County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility link in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, search the Mississippi Department of Corrections locator or contact MDOC records.
- For federal custody or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
Courts and Police
Court files are separate from jail custody records. The county courts page lists Circuit Court District 13 at the Covington County Courthouse, 101 S. Dogwood Avenue, P.O. Box 667, Collins, MS 39428, phone 601-765-6506, fax 601-765-5012, email mduckworth@covingtoncountyms.gov. Justice Court is listed at P.O. Box 665, Collins, MS 39428, phone 601-765-6581, fax 601-765-5014, with clerk Cassity Booker at cbooker@covingtoncountyms.gov.
For very recent city arrests, Collins Police is at 202 Arrington Dr., Collins, MS 39428, phone 601-765-6541. Mount Olive Police is at 510 Main Street, Mount Olive, MS 39119, phone 601-797-3232. These police contacts do not replace the sheriff for confirmed county jail custody.
County government general contact information is 101 South Elm Ave., Collins, MS 39428, phone 601-765-8605, fax 601-765-5016.
State and Federal Custody
MDOC handles sentenced state custody, not most pretrial Covington County jail detainees. MDOC records can be reached at P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, phone 601-933-2889, email MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us. The MDOC inmate search is available at https://www.ms.gov/mdoc/inmate/search/index.
Federal prisoners are searched through the Bureau of Prisons locator. Adult immigration detainees are searched through the ICE locator. VINELink may help with custody notifications, but it should be treated as a supplement rather than the official source for every Covington County jail question.
