How to Find an Inmate at Harrison County Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond information when available, and custody status. Records are usually added after the booking process is complete, but processing can take several hours, so a newly arrested person may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility directly for current custody information. Some records may be limited due to court orders, release, transfer, or other legal restrictions.
