Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility Records

Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility Overview

Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility is located at 2792 Hwy 8 West in Cleveland and is operated locally through the Bolivar County Sheriff's Office and county regional correctional facility. MDOC lists the same location as Bolivar County Correctional Facility, a regional facility, with Brenda Cox as warden. The county page uses the regional correctional facility name, while MDOC uses the correctional facility name; both sources point to the same address and telephone line.

This facility serves a mixed county and state role. The county page states that it houses state inmates at medium security, and the official visitation schedule also names county men, county holding, county female, Intake, Green/White, S dormitories, and Joint County-State groups. That housing language matters because a person booked after a local arrest may need a different lookup route than a person already sentenced into Mississippi Department of Corrections custody.

The official county facility page identifies the warden, address, phone number, programs, and visitation schedule link for Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility.

Capacity and Current Population

Two official sources describe the population from different angles. The county facility page describes the facility as holding 250 state inmates at medium security. The MDOC monthly fact sheet dated June 1, 2026 lists Bolivar County Correctional Facility with capacity for 294 offenders and a current offender count of 291, which is 1.33% of the MDOC inmate total reported in that fact sheet. Use the MDOC figure for the dated population count and the county figure as a facility description.

MDOC fact sheets from 2025 and 2026 show the Bolivar regional facility generally operating at high utilization, with recent monthly counts ranging from the low 270s to the low 290s. No official county-only average daily population, annual booking count, or split between pretrial and sentenced local detainees was located in the research materials.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility

No official public Bolivar County jail roster, booking search, or mugshot gallery was located on the county or sheriff website. Because this is a regional correctional facility with county and state populations, the correct lookup chain depends on why the person is in custody.

1. For a recent local arrest or county holding question, call Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility at 662-843-7478 and ask for the jail or detention records process.
2. For sheriff records, jail docket entries, arresting-agency questions, or a public-records request, contact the Bolivar County Sheriff's Office at 662-843-5378 or use the same 2792 Hwy 8 West, Cleveland, MS 38732 address.
3. For sentenced state inmates or people housed as MDOC offenders in a regional facility, use the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search by name or MDOC ID number.
4. For release notifications, custody alerts, and victim notification, use Mississippi VINE. MDOC's MS SAVIN page also lists 601-359-5759 during standard business hours, 1(888)9-MSSAVIN for general assistance, and TTY 866-847-1298.
5. For formal charges after arrest, use the Bolivar County Circuit Clerk and Mississippi Electronic Courts for the Eleventh Circuit District. Booking charges can differ from filed court charges.
6. For federal sentenced custody, search the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For immigration detention, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Neither federal tool is a Bolivar County jail roster.

If a name search fails, verify spelling, date of birth, arresting agency, approximate arrest date, and whether the person may have been transferred to MDOC custody, federal custody, another county, or released.

Address, Phone, Warden, and Operator

The facility and sheriff's office share the same highway address, but their phone numbers serve different purposes. Call the correctional facility for custody, visitation, mail, and housing-status questions. Call the sheriff's office for arresting-agency and public-records routing when the issue is a sheriff record rather than a facility visit or state-inmate matter.

Visitation Schedule by Dormitory and Zone

The county visitation PDF effective February 7, 2017 lists visiting by housing group. Official sources did not publish a readable visitor handbook with ID rules, dress code, minor-child rules, lockers, arrival cutoff, holiday changes, or lockdown exceptions. Call 662-843-7478 before travel, especially if the person was recently moved between a county, state, Green/White, S dormitory, or Joint County-State assignment.

Mail, Phone, Money, and Commissary

Official Bolivar County pages did not publish a complete mail handbook, commissary fee table, deposit-fee schedule, or county phone vendor rule page. Use the facility address for mail only after confirming the current inmate-name, ID-number, and housing format with staff, because state inmates and county detainees may have different handling requirements.

Do not assume a deposit is accepted just because a person appears in custody. Classification status, disciplinary restrictions, transfer status, or a county/state custody distinction can affect whether funds are usable.

Booking, Intake, Courts, and Custody Status

For a new local arrest, the useful sequence is arrest or commitment, transport to county custody, intake, housing classification, and then court routing. Mississippi jail-docket law supports records of the warrant or mittimus, prisoner name, received date, arrest and commitment date, cause of imprisonment, custody authority, release or discharge method, and related paperwork when a person is sent onward. No official Bolivar booking-duration rule, roster refresh time, booking-photo timing, or property-pickup rule was located.

For court-filed charges, do not rely only on what the jail can tell you at booking. The Circuit Clerk is the records custodian for Circuit, County, and Youth court records in Bolivar County, and the county has Cleveland and Rosedale court anchors. County Court judges may set bond and preside over preliminary hearings. Mississippi Electronic Courts provides the Eleventh Circuit District court information page, while sealed, juvenile, expunged, or confidential records may be unavailable to the public.

Programs, Reentry, Medical, and Grievance Routes

The county facility page lists unusually specific programming: alcohol and drug rehabilitation, a long-term six-month program, GED, basic construction, anger management, literacy, pre-release life skills, discipleship, basic and advanced computer skills, religious services, and an inmate library. MDOC material also gives broader context for state inmates, including Administrative Remedy Program grievance procedures, intake mental-health evaluation, sick-call requests, referrals by medical or security staff, and limits on what MDOC can disclose to unauthorized people.

MDOC FAQ material says the release process can take 30 to 45 days and that parole or earned-release supervision eligibility dates are not guaranteed release dates. For state inmates housed at Bolivar, MDOC records staff may answer public questions about offender time, jail credit, and eligibility dates at the MDOC Records Department, P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, phone 601-933-2889, email MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us.

Directions and Visitor Planning

Use 2792 MS Hwy 8 West, Cleveland, MS 38732 for map routing. The facility sits west of Cleveland on Mississippi Highway 8. From central Cleveland and the Bolivar County Second Judicial District courthouse area near South Court Street, travel west toward MS-8 W and continue to the facility address. From Rosedale and the First Judicial District side of the county, confirm the preferred Mississippi Delta route before leaving because Bolivar County is large and river-side starting points can change the best road choice.

Official sources did not publish visitor parking rates, a public-transit route, accessible-entrance instructions, or a full visitor-entry property list. Confirm parking, arrival timing, allowed identification, medication or accessibility needs, and any schedule changes with the facility before leaving. This is especially important for visitors who need to drive from outside Cleveland or who are trying to match a visit to a specific dormitory schedule.
