The Yazoo County Inmate Population

Yazoo County's custody map is unusual because the local roster and the state correctional system meet at the Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility. The facility is listed by the Mississippi Department of Corrections as Yazoo Regional Correctional Facility, and the PREA audit identifies the operating agency as the Yazoo County Sheriff's Office. The county roster path begins at Yazoo RCF and links into Public Safety Cloud/JailTracker for current county and regional custody.

The Yazoo County inmate population changes when people are booked after arrest, released on bond, sentenced, transferred to MDOC custody, or moved between local, state, and federal systems. Sheriff Jeremy "Bull" McCoy's office is important to that process because the official county sheriff page says the sheriff serves as county jailor, maintains the jail docket, and prepares Mississippi Department Reports. A county roster result should therefore be read as a current custody snapshot, not as a complete court history.

The official Yazoo RCF landing page is the starting page for the current-inmate link.

That landing page matters because it shows the county's own route into the roster before the search moves to the Public Safety Cloud application.

Yazoo County Inmate Population Statistics

The best local capacity figure is the 300-bed designed capacity reported for Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility in the PREA audit and in MDOC daily population material. The PREA audit reported a current audited population of 288 and a prior 12-month average daily population of 296. MDOC daily population reports for early June 2026 showed Yazoo counts close to capacity, including 297 on June 1, 297 on June 2, 287 on June 3, and 295 on June 4 through June 8. MDOC's June 2026 monthly fact sheet listed 299 on June 1, 2026.

Yazoo County Inmate Population Trends

Recent Yazoo RCF figures show a facility operating near its designed capacity, but not documented as over capacity in the PREA audit's prior 12-month review. The monthly and daily MDOC numbers in 2026 move within a narrow range: 285 on April 2, 299 on May 1, and 299 on June 1. The first week of June 2026 ranged from 287 to 297, which is close enough to capacity that small booking or release changes can noticeably shift the percentage filled.

Who Makes Up the Yazoo County Inmate Population

The PREA audit provides the clearest local demographic limits for the regional facility. Yazoo RCF held male inmates only, ages 18 to 67, at medium and minimum custody levels, with no youthful inmates reported. The source did not publish a Yazoo-specific race, offense, or pretrial breakdown, so those details should not be inferred from statewide Mississippi totals.

• Local gender and age range - Yazoo RCF was reported as male only, with adults ages 18 to 67.
• Custody level - The facility held medium and minimum custody inmates in the PREA audit.
• Youthful inmates - The PREA audit reported no youthful inmates at Yazoo RCF.
• Statewide context - MDOC reported 21,840 total inmates on June 1, 2026, including 19,802 male and 2,038 female inmates statewide.

Yazoo County Jail Capacity and Overcrowding

Yazoo RCF's 300 designed capacity is the baseline for reading the population figures. The PREA report said the facility had not exceeded capacity during the previous 12 months, but later MDOC counts show the facility often running close to full. A 299 count on a 300-capacity facility leaves almost no buffer for new bookings, court holds, or transfers awaiting movement. That does not prove overcrowding by itself, but it explains why the roster, jail phone line, and MDOC data can change quickly.

Programs documented in the PREA audit include Adult Education, Alcohol and Drug treatment, Anger Management, Basic Computer Skills, Bible Study, Parenting, and Pre Release/Smart Start. MDOC also reported on May 19, 2026 that Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility received American Correctional Association reaccreditation after a May 11 through May 13 audit with 100 percent compliance on mandatory and non-mandatory Adult Correctional Institution standards.

Laws Governing the Yazoo County Inmate Population

Mississippi law helps explain why jail roster and jail docket information exists, but it does not make every field instantly available online. The Mississippi Public Records Act creates the general right to inspect or copy public records unless an exemption applies. Mississippi Code section 47-1-21 addresses the sheriff's jail docket, which is central to local custody records. State law also covers medical aid and hospitalization for county prisoners, while Mississippi's Death in Custody Reporting Act plan describes how death-in-custody data is collected and reported.

Yazoo County and the State Prison Population

Sentenced state inmates are searched through the MDOC inmate search, not the county roster. That distinction matters in Yazoo County because Yazoo RCF is a regional facility connected to MDOC, while the county also contains three federal BOP institutions. MDOC's statewide June 1, 2026 population was 21,840, with race totals reported as 13,550 Black, 7,845 White, 313 Hispanic, 62 Native American, 44 Asian, and 26 unavailable. Those are statewide figures and should not be treated as Yazoo-specific demographics.

The MDOC Yazoo Regional Correctional Facility page lists the facility address, phone, type, and warden.

The MDOC facility listing is useful when a JailTracker name match needs to be checked against the regional facility's official state listing.

How to Search the Yazoo County Inmate Population

For current county or regional custody, begin with the official jail roster path. Open the Yazoo RCF landing page, follow the current-inmate link, and move through the roster frame at yazoorcf_inmatelist.html. The active roster is hosted by Public Safety Cloud/JailTracker at the Yazoo County MS index. The county host works over HTTP; HTTPS for the Yazoo RCF host may reset, while the Public Safety Cloud roster itself is HTTPS.

Have at least a first or last name before searching. If the name is common, confirm the result by facility, booking date, arresting agency, charge description, court information, and bond fields. If there is no match, the person may have been released, transferred to MDOC, booked under a different name spelling, held federally, or not yet entered into the public roster.

1. Open the official Yazoo RCF landing page.
2. Use the current-inmate link, which opens the roster frame page.
3. Search by first name, last name, search type, current-inmate setting, or released-since option when available.
4. Review the profile fields for facility, original booking date, arresting agency, charges, bond type and amount, court information, and last updated time.
5. If the person is sentenced to state custody, search MDOC; for FCI Yazoo City inmates, search the BOP inmate locator.

Current Inmate Lookup in Yazoo County

The roster application is client-side, so a plain static page view will not expose a complete inmate table. The public app model showed search fields for names, search type, current inmates only, released since, and CAPTCHA handling. If a live profile is incomplete or unavailable, treat displayed results as pointers that must be verified with Yazoo RCF at 662-751-8484 or the Sheriff's Office at 662-746-5611 when timing, release, bond, or court status matters.

Past and Released Inmate Records

Official sources did not confirm how long released Yazoo inmates remain visible in JailTracker. If the roster does not show a person who was recently booked, check the released-since option if the public app presents it, call Yazoo RCF, and then contact the Sheriff's Office for the jail docket or booking record. A written request should identify the person's name, date range, booking record, jail docket entry, incident or arrest report, mugshot if sought, and the requester's contact information.

MDOC records should not be requested from the county when the record belongs to MDOC. MDOC states that public records requests must be made in writing and provides the GovQA portal for MDOC records. Court charges, case numbers, arraignment information, and filings belong with the court offices, Mississippi Electronic Courts, or PAMEC rather than the jail roster alone.

What a Yazoo County Inmate Record Shows

Yazoo JailTracker's client model includes name, image, facility, booking, release, arrest, charge, bond, court, and update fields. Public display can vary by configuration, and the model includes visibility controls such as hide charges or hide inmate image unless logged on. Use each field as a clue to the official record source, especially when a court date, warrant number, bond amount, or release time affects a decision.

County Jail vs. State Prison: Where to Look

A county jail roster is the right place for current local custody, but it is not the right search for every person arrested in Yazoo County. State-sentenced inmates are searched through MDOC. Federal prisoners at FCI Yazoo City Low, FCI Yazoo City Low II, and FCI Yazoo City Medium are searched through the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Immigration custody is checked through ICE's Online Detainee Locator System, even though no Yazoo-specific ICE detention facility page was found.

State and Federal Inmate Search

Use MDOC inmate search for sentenced state custody. Use the BOP inmate locator for the three federal institutions in Yazoo City. BOP public data listed June 18, 2026 totals as 1,714 at FCI Yazoo City Low, 1,520 at FCI Yazoo City Low II, and 1,453 at FCI Yazoo City Medium. Use ICE ODLS for immigration custody, and use VINELink as a statewide notification option when available, recognizing that no official Yazoo-specific VINE page was located.

Yazoo County Detention Facilities

Yazoo County's facility list has one county-operated regional facility and three federal facilities at the Federal Correctional Complex in Yazoo City. The county roster does not search all four systems at once.

• Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility - County-operated regional facility at 154 Roosevelt Hudson Drive with a 300 designed capacity and Yazoo JailTracker roster path.
• FCI Yazoo City Low - BOP low-security federal institution with adjacent minimum-security camp at 2225 Haley Barbour Parkway.
• FCI Yazoo City Low II - BOP federal institution at the Yazoo City complex.
• FCI Yazoo City Medium - BOP medium-security federal institution at the Yazoo City complex.
