Pike County Inmate Population
The Pike County inmate population has two main layers. The local layer is Pike County Detention Center, operated by the Pike County Sheriff's Office. It holds people booked by the sheriff, McComb Police Department, Magnolia Police Department, Summit Police Department, Osyka Police Department, Mississippi Highway Patrol, Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, MDOC, other agencies, and people who turn themselves in. The state layer is Pike County Community Work Center, an MDOC facility for sentenced offenders assigned to work-center custody.
Those layers should not be merged into one number. The county jail roster is a current-custody list that changes as people are booked, released, bonded out, transferred, or moved by court order. The work center has audit-based capacity and average daily population figures. A person searching for Pike County inmates may need the jail roster, the MDOC locator, a court clerk, or a public-records request depending on where the person is in the arrest-to-sentence path.
Pike County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest Pike County statistics come from the ADSi jail roster, MDOC PREA audit material, and cited capacity references. The ADSi active count was observed at 114 inmates and later 132 inmates during the June 18-19, 2026 research pass. That is a live roster snapshot. Pike County Community Work Center reported a designated capacity of 93 and average daily population of 46 for the prior 12 months in the July 2025 PREA audit.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| ADSi active inmate snapshot | 114 total inmates | ADSi active roster, observed June 18-19, 2026 |
| ADSi later active snapshot | 132 total inmates | ADSi active roster, observed June 18-19, 2026 |
| Recent bookings snapshot | 27 inmates booked since 06/12/2026 | ADSi recent bookings page, observed June 18-19, 2026 |
| Upcoming court dates | 0 inmates in next 7 days | ADSi court tab, observed June 18-19, 2026 |
| Pike County CWC capacity | 93 | MDOC / PREA audit, July 2025 |
| Pike County CWC ADP | 46 | MDOC / PREA audit, prior 12 months reported July 2025 |
The ADSi active inmate list screenshot shows the current-custody roster used for the jail side of the Pike County inmate population.
Because the roster count can move during the same research window, it should be treated as a custody snapshot instead of a capacity report.
Pike County Inmate Population Trends
Pike County trend data is uneven, so the page should use sourced points rather than infer a rate. The CWC audit history is the cleanest trend: 45 average daily population in a 2022 PREA audit and 46 in the 2025 PREA audit, with capacity listed at 93 in both. The local jail trend has snapshots and capacity references from different source types, including an older 188-bed correctional facility inventory and a 2025 news quote from Sheriff Bryant "Wally" Jones that separated 129 main-facility beds and 34 Class D workhouse spaces.
| Year / Date | ADP, Count, or Capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 188 local beds | Historical Pike Co. Jail bed reference from correctional facility inventory. |
| 2022 PREA audit | 45 ADP at Pike CWC | MDOC Pike CWC audit figure. |
| 2025 PREA audit | 46 ADP at Pike CWC | MDOC Pike CWC audit, little change from 2022. |
| 2025 news quote | 129 main beds + 34 workhouse spaces | Sheriff-reported local capacity components, not a posted sheriff capacity table. |
| June 2026 | 114 then 132 active inmates | ADSi roster snapshots during research. |
Who Is Held in Pike County
The captured Pike County ADSi list did not publish sex, race, age, felony-versus-misdemeanor, bond-type, or pretrial-versus-sentenced breakdowns. It did show arrest-agency fields. That means the most reliable local breakdown is by source of custody, not by demographic group. McComb Police Department appears often in the roster research, with Pike County Sheriff's Department, MDOC, Highway Patrol, municipal police, and other agencies also appearing.
- Local sheriff custody includes Pike County Sheriff's Department arrests and jail holds.
- Municipal custody includes bookings from McComb, Magnolia, Summit, and Osyka police when held at the county jail.
- State custody links include MDOC holds at the jail and sentenced offenders placed at Pike County CWC.
- Other-agency holds may involve another county, state, federal, or immigration authority.
Pike County Jail Capacity
Current official rated capacity was not posted on the sheriff pages inspected for Pike County Detention Center. That is an important limitation. The page should not present the 188-bed 2013 inventory, the 129-bed 2025 main-facility quote, and the 34 Class D workhouse spaces as a single verified current figure. They are useful points from different dates and source types.
Recent news context said McComb inmates made up a large part of the jail population and that housing-cost concerns affected whether Pike County would continue accepting McComb inmates. Since that material is news context rather than an official jail dataset, it should not replace the roster or a posted county capacity report. It does show why the source of an arrest matters when interpreting the Pike County inmate population.
Pike County Jail Record Laws
Mississippi law gives the records framework behind Pike County jail and custody data. The public can inspect public records unless another law limits release. The sheriff must keep a jail docket with core prisoner and custody details. Death-in-custody reporting rules also matter because they cover people detained, under arrest, transported, or held in jail or corrections custody.
Key Statutes:
Mississippi Public Records Act states that public records are available for inspection unless another law restricts them.
Mississippi Code section 19-25-63 requires the sheriff to keep a jail docket with prisoner, commitment, cause, authority, custody-length, and release information.
Mississippi DPS Death in Custody Reporting Act page describes reportable deaths in arrest, transport, jail, prison, and local or state correctional custody.
Mississippi Code section 47-5-909 states the policy that state inmates should be removed from county jails as early as practicable.
Pike County State Prison Population
The state-custody part of the Pike County inmate population is centered on Pike County Community Work Center. MDOC lists it as a Community Work Center at 2015 Jesse Hall Road in Magnolia. The 2025 PREA audit reported capacity of 93, average daily population of 46 for the prior 12 months, and one housing unit. That is not a county jail roster population. It is MDOC custody.
The MDOC Pike County CWC facility page is the source for facility contact and type details.
Once a person moves into MDOC custody, search by name or MDOC ID rather than relying on the Pike County active jail roster.
Search Pike County Inmates
The Pike County inmate search path depends on custody type. For current local jail custody, use ADSi. For a new arrest, check recent bookings. For a person sentenced to state custody, use MDOC. For federal custody, use BOP. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. VINELink is available through the sheriff site for custody-status notifications where Pike County data is available.

Pike County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Pike County inmate population? The county jail roster showed 114 active inmates and later 132 during the June 2026 research pass. Pike County CWC had a 2025 audit average daily population of 46. These are different systems and should not be merged into one fixed count.
Where are Pike County inmates searched first? Current local jail custody starts with ADSi. State sentenced custody starts with MDOC. Federal and immigration custody use BOP or ICE. Call the detention center when the roster is unclear.
Does the Pike County roster show mugshots? The captured ADSi text did not expose mugshots or a booking-photo gallery. Use the roster for custody fields and request a booking photo from the sheriff if it is not posted and is not exempt.
What if the person was released? Released or older booking information may require a sheriff records request under the Mississippi Public Records Act. Court outcomes should be checked through the clerk or MEC.
