Contact and Records Routing

Official Records Contacts

For a county booking, jail-docket, or custody-record question, begin with the Quitman County Sheriff's Department. The official county record route is separate from a city incident report and from state corrections custody. The research did not verify public hours for QCSO or the jail, so confirm availability by telephone before visiting or sending a request.

For a written county request, identify the full name, date or date range, and the exact material requested. The Mississippi Public Records Act route supports reasonably identified requests and actual-cost estimates. Ask QCSO for the jail-docket entry, booking record, arrest report, and booking photograph as separate categories, with a written statutory explanation for any withholding. The county officials page confirms the sheriff contact.

• For a city incident or arrest report, contact the municipal department that made the record, then ask QCSO about any county booking.
• For a court date, case number, or certified disposition, use the Quitman County court contacts page for Justice Court and Circuit Clerk routing.
• For a person in Mississippi state custody, use the MDOC records contact, not the county jail route.
• For a federal or immigration detention question, use the applicable BOP locator or ICE locator rather than treating a county inquiry as a federal custody record.
• For a current safety concern, use the responsible public-safety agency or emergency service, not a private reference resource.
