Locate Leake County Correctional Facility Inmates

Leake County Correctional Facility Overview

MDOC lists Leake County Correctional Facility as a regional facility at 399 C. O. Brooks Street in Carthage. The facility phone is 601-298-9003, and MDOC names Jerry Horn as warden. The 2026 PREA audit calls it Leake County Regional Correctional Facility and lists the Leake County Sheriff's Office as the agency. It reports adult men and boys, age range 18 to 70, minimum and medium custody, no youthful inmates, and six housing units.

The facility is not the same as the sheriff's front-end Leake County Jail, although both are tied to Leake County custody geography. A newly arrested person may begin at the county jail and later move to the regional facility, another county, or MDOC custody. Searchers should ask which facility holds the person before sending mail, money, or visit requests.

Leake County Correctional Population

The January 9, 2026 PREA audit gives a designed capacity of 312, current population of 294, and 12-month average daily population of 293. MDOC's June 1, 2026 fact sheet lists Leake County Correctional Facility at 300 capacity and 300 offenders, equal to 1.37 percent of the MDOC inmate total. The June 2026 daily population report lists 300 capacity and 299 average population. The numbers are close but not identical because they come from different reporting dates and definitions.

The PREA audit also reported no over-capacity point during the previous 12 months. That audit is a strong local source for facility operations because it describes housing units, staff with inmate contact, contractors, volunteers, and compliance findings.

Search Leake Correctional Inmates

For a person assigned to Leake County Correctional Facility under MDOC custody or regional placement, use the MDOC inmate search. Search by first and last name or MDOC ID number. For a fresh arrest, first verify with the sheriff because the person may not yet be in MDOC custody. For release notifications, use Mississippi VINELink if the agency's booking-system updates support that record.

1. Confirm whether the person is at Leake County Jail or Leake County Correctional Facility.
2. Open MDOC inmate search and choose Name or ID Number.
3. Search by first and last name or by MDOC ID number.
4. Confirm the listed facility before using mail, money, or visiting rules.
5. Call the facility for schedule, mail format, and vendor details before acting.

Leake Correctional Address

The facility contact should be used for facility-specific questions, while MDOC Records handles sentence time, jail credit, eligibility-date, and state custody questions. A person with only a new local arrest may still require sheriff or court contact instead.

The MDOC facility page identifies the official facility listing.

Use the MDOC listing for facility identity, then confirm live details directly with the facility.

Visiting Leake Correctional Facility

MDOC visitation rules are useful but come with a caveat. MDOC says its visitation page applies to state facilities, while regional facilities are operated by local authorities and may have different policies and practices. Contact Leake County Correctional Facility before attending. The general MDOC rules say visitation is a privilege, not a right; visits can be revoked; and visitors must be approved and listed.

Leake Correctional Mail and Money

CommissaryDeposit says deposits can be made by credit or debit card and that users need state, facility, and inmate ID or name. Its facility list includes Leake County Correctional Facility. CommissaryOrder uses state, facility, and inmate ID or name for orders. Forecomm lists deposit funds, tablet services, phone deposits, messaging, video calls, and special bags. Forecomm's FAQ lists a maximum $300 per deposit and maximum three transactions over seven days.

Leake Correctional Classification

The PREA audit gives more detail than the public MDOC facility page. It identifies minimum and medium custody, adult male population, no youthful inmates, and six housing units. The audit's facility-characteristics section also listed 62 staff who may have inmate contact, 17 contractors, and 37 authorized volunteers. Population details from the audit included 292 total inmates on the first day of the onsite audit, 3 with physical disability, 1 with cognitive or functional disability, 1 blind or low-vision inmate, and 1 deaf or hard-of-hearing inmate.

Those numbers matter for families because housing, classification, disability accommodations, and facility staffing affect visits, mail, programming, and grievance routing. They do not create a public roster. They do confirm that the regional facility maintains internal population and housing records even though the official county sheriff page did not publish a public current-inmate roster.

Leake Correctional Records

Records questions can split between the facility, the sheriff's office, and MDOC. Facility-specific visiting, mail, commissary, and day-to-day custody questions should start with Leake County Correctional Facility. Sentence time, jail credit, eligibility dates, and statewide offender records should go to MDOC Records Department. If the person came from a recent Leake County arrest, the sheriff's jail docket and Justice Court records may explain the original booking and first appearance.

MDOC victim-notification material also matters for some custody changes. MDOC Division of Victim Services gives release notification assistance to registered crime victims, while Mississippi SAVIN/VINE can provide automated custody and status notifications. Those tools do not replace a facility call, but they can help a registered user track release-related events after an offender enters a state or regional corrections system.

Leake Correctional Facility Conditions

The 2026 PREA audit found 3 standards exceeded, 42 met, and 0 not met. Exceeded standards included supervision and monitoring, screening for risk of victimization and abusiveness, and inmate access to outside confidential support services. The report says MCASA serves as a victim-advocate resource for MDOC and regional facilities. The audit also described grievance processes for sexual-abuse allegations, third-party grievance assistance, emergency response timing, and final agency decision timing for substantial-risk emergency grievances.

WAPT reported on January 16, 2026 that a Discovery Channel crew spent time inside Leake County Regional Correctional Facility for a series about life inside local jails. That news item is local context, not a replacement for the official PREA population and capacity findings.
