Issaquena County Correctional Facility Overview
Issaquena County Correctional Facility is listed by the Mississippi Department of Corrections as a regional facility. The MDOC facility page identifies Don Brown as Warden, gives the physical address as 22746 MS-1, Mayersville, MS 39113, lists P.O. Box 220 for mailing information, and provides telephone number 662-873-2153. The page does not publish a local capacity figure or detailed custody-level breakdown.
This facility is not physically in Sharkey County, but it is close to the Sharkey County seat and is important for regional custody routing. The research file notes that the Prison Policy Initiative regional jail table associates Issaquena Regional Correctional Facility with Sharkey County, Washington County, Warren County, Rolling Fork, Anguilla, and Vicksburg. For a person arrested in Sharkey County, the first local contact remains the Sharkey County Sheriff's Office; if transfer or regional custody is possible, Issaquena should be checked directly.
Use the facility type carefully. Issaquena County Correctional Facility is an MDOC-listed regional facility, not the Sharkey County sheriff's local jail roster. It may involve regional, local, or MDOC-related custody as assigned, while sentenced state prisoners should be searched through the MDOC inmate search. A recent Sharkey arrest may still require sheriff and court follow-up even if a later custody location is regional.
The official MDOC facility page is the matching source for the regional facility's name, warden, address, mailing information, telephone, and type: MDOC Issaquena County Correctional Facility page.
That page is the appropriate facility-specific source, while Sharkey County's sheriff contact remains the starting point for local arrest and jail docket questions.
Issaquena County Correctional Facility Capacity and Population
No official capacity for Issaquena County Correctional Facility was located in the researched sources. The MDOC page lists the facility as regional and provides contact information, but it does not publish a bed count, current population, average daily population, housing-unit count, or demographic breakdown. Because the facility's local population figure was not found, the page should not infer capacity from non-official directories or regional-jail tables.
The custody population should be described by role rather than by number. The facility may hold regional, local, or MDOC-related custody as assigned, and the PPI regional-jail table associates it with nearby jurisdictions including Sharkey County and Rolling Fork. For a specific person, the practical question is whether that person is currently held there, whether they are a sentenced MDOC prisoner visible in the state locator, or whether they remain under local sheriff and court routing.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Issaquena County Correctional Facility
The correct lookup method depends on the person's custody status. If the person is a sentenced Mississippi Department of Corrections prisoner, search the MDOC inmate locator by name or MDOC ID. If the person may be held regionally but does not appear in the MDOC search, call Issaquena County Correctional Facility at 662-873-2153 and ask staff how current custody can be confirmed. Do not rely on a Sharkey County online roster, because the research did not locate an official Sharkey County roster and this facility is separate from the sheriff's local jail function.
- Search the MDOC inmate search if the person may be sentenced to MDOC custody.
- Use the name search or MDOC ID number search and review the result for current location and status.
- If Issaquena County Correctional Facility is listed, use the facility contact number to confirm visiting, mail, and communication rules before taking action.
- If no MDOC record appears and the arrest was recent in Sharkey County, call the Sharkey County Sheriff's Office and ask whether the person was released, transferred, or remains in local custody.
- Use Mississippi VINELink for custody notification options when the person or facility is supported by that system.

If the person is not a sentenced MDOC prisoner, phone confirmation with the regional facility or the Sharkey County Sheriff's Office is still necessary.
Issaquena County Correctional Facility Address and Contact
The facility contact details come from MDOC's official facility page. The physical address is 22746 MS-1 in Mayersville, and the listed mailing information is P.O. Box 220. The MDOC page gives 662-873-2153 as the facility telephone number and identifies Don Brown as Warden. The research did not locate a local public email address, visitation-hours table, or inmate funds vendor on that facility page.

For Sharkey County arrest questions, keep the facility distinction clear. The Sharkey County courts page and sheriff page support the local first-appearance and jail-docket route in Rolling Fork. Issaquena is the regional facility to call when transfer, regional housing, or MDOC-related custody is possible.
Visiting Someone at Issaquena County Correctional Facility
MDOC statewide visitation guidance applies to state and MDOC-related facilities, but local schedules can vary by facility and custody status. The MDOC Family & Friends visitation page says visitors must be approved through an inmate-initiated application process, and MDOC says the application forms are not available online and are not emailed or mailed by MDOC. Applicants should wait for approval and contact the facility before travel.
MDOC guidance also says adult visitors need valid picture identification, visitor lists are limited and reviewed, searches may apply to visitors, vehicles, property, and allowed items, and rules restrict weapons, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, cell phones, wallets, purses, and excessive clothing in visiting areas. Dress code requirements are detailed and visitation may be suspended or revoked. Those rules are more formal than a local jail visit and should be confirmed with Issaquena before any trip to Mayersville.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Not published on facility page | Call facility |
| Wednesday | Not published on facility page | Call facility |
| Friday | Not published on facility page | Call facility |
| Saturday | Not published on facility page | Call facility |
| Sunday | Not published on facility page | Call facility |
MDOC publishes the statewide visitation rules on its Family & Friends page: MDOC visitation process and rules.
Because the Issaquena facility page does not publish a local hours table, the statewide rules should be treated as baseline requirements, not as a guaranteed schedule.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Issaquena County Correctional Facility
The MDOC facility page lists P.O. Box 220 as mailing information, but the research did not locate a full inmate mail format, package rule, phone provider, video provider, money-deposit vendor, commissary fee table, or tablet program for Issaquena County Correctional Facility. Call the facility before mailing anything or sending funds, and ask whether the person is eligible to receive mail, what name and ID number format is required, and which vendor, if any, is officially accepted.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | MDOC page lists P.O. Box 220; call for exact inmate-name and ID format. |
| Phone / Video | No local provider found in official research sources. |
| Money Deposit | No facility-specific vendor or fee table found; use only facility-confirmed instructions. |
Regional Custody, Transfer, and Intake
Issaquena County Correctional Facility is not the first local booking point for a Sharkey County arrest. The Sharkey County Sheriff's Office and Justice Court remain the correct starting points for recent local arrest, jail docket, bond, and initial-appearance questions. A person may later be moved to a regional facility, held under regional arrangements, or, after conviction and sentencing, appear in MDOC custody.
When the person is sentenced to MDOC, the state locator may show public profile information such as MDOC ID, demographics, entry date, location, offense, sentence details, county of conviction, and victim-services links. Those fields are different from a local jail docket. If the person was recently arrested and no MDOC result appears, the local sheriff's office should be asked whether booking is complete, whether the person was transferred, and which court or agency controls the next step.
About Issaquena County Correctional Facility
The facility's public profile is concise in the official sources. MDOC lists it as a regional facility in Mayersville and gives Warden Don Brown, the physical address, mailing information, and telephone number. The facility page does not publish a narrative history, capacity, program list, accreditation status, housing-unit chart, or local visitation calendar in the researched material.
For Sharkey County readers, the main value of this facility page is routing. Sharkey County Jail is the local sheriff and jail-docket path; Issaquena County Correctional Facility is a nearby MDOC-listed regional facility that may be relevant after transfer or for regional custody; MDOC inmate search is for sentenced state prisoners; federal and immigration custody require separate federal or ICE tools. Keeping those systems separate prevents missed records and wasted calls.
Note: Confirm the person's current location and approval status before visiting, mailing, or sending money to the facility.
