How to Find an Inmate at Hinds County MS Juvenile Justice Center

Juvenile detention records are often limited to parents, guardians, attorneys, and authorized agencies, so a public roster may not show every person held here. When a roster is available, it typically lists basic details such as the person’s name, booking date, charges or allegations, and custody status. New bookings usually take several hours to process, so records may not appear immediately after arrival. Use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster, and contact the facility or the appropriate Hinds County juvenile court office if the person is not listed or if you are seeking information about a juvenile case.

What happens during the intake process at Hinds County MS Juvenile Justice Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?

During intake, staff verify identity, record case information, check medical and safety needs, and assign housing or supervision. Processing can take several hours, and records may not appear right away, especially because juvenile information may be restricted from public view.
