This website is a private reference guide, not a Lawrence County office. It cannot verify whether someone is in custody, release a detainee, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the offices and public systems below for those requests.
Where to Ask About a Person or Record
For local custody questions, start with the sheriff-operated jail. Official online research did not locate public lobby hours or a verified street address for the jail, so call before visiting.
- Lawrence County Sheriff's Office / Lawrence County Jail: P.O. Box 816, Monticello, MS 39654; phone 601-587-2961; fax 601-587-4740.
- Lawrence County Board of Supervisors / county office: 517 E. Broad Street, Monticello, MS 39654; phone 601-587-3003.
- Monticello Police Department: 202 Jefferson Street, Monticello, MS 39654; phone 601-587-7732.
- Lawrence County Circuit Clerk Tracey Carney: P.O. Box 1249, Monticello, MS 39654; phone 601-587-4791.
Use the route that matches the type of custody or record you need.
- For someone believed to be in Lawrence County Jail, use jail inmate records and call 601-587-2961 with the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency.
- For booking photos or the lack of an online mugshot gallery, review jail roster mugshots before making a records request.
- For charges, docket entries, or filings after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Circuit Clerk or Mississippi Electronic Courts when a case has been filed.
- For the local detention facility page, see Lawrence County Jail.
- For a sentenced Mississippi prisoner, use the MDOC inmate search at ms.gov/mdoc/inmate/search. MDOC public-records requests for inmate records must be submitted in writing through MDOC's records process, not by telephone.
- For a federal prisoner, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For possible immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. For custody-status notifications, check VINELink and confirm agency participation.
