Locate Pike County Community Work Center Inmates

Pike County Community Work Center Custody

Pike County Community Work Center is listed by the Mississippi Department of Corrections facility page as a Community Work Center. MDOC, not Sheriff Bryant "Wally" Jones or the Pike County Sheriff's Office, operates the placement. That distinction is the main point for inmate lookup. A person arrested in Pike County may first be booked at the county jail, but once a state sentence and MDOC placement control custody, the county roster is no longer the primary source.

The work center is physically close to the Pike County Detention Center area in Magnolia, which can confuse searches. The names both begin with Pike County, and both addresses are on Jesse Hall Road, but the custody systems are different. The detention center handles local jail custody. The work center handles state-sentenced offenders assigned by MDOC for community work-center custody, work details, and reentry-style programming.

MDOC identifies Major Teriaih Nichols as the facility leader. The official facility page lists the telephone and fax numbers but does not publish a full public visit schedule, mail rule set, phone vendor, or deposit fee table on the captured page. For those details, use MDOC family-and-friends rules and call the facility before sending money, mail, or a visitor to Magnolia.

Pike County Community Work Center Population

The strongest sourced population figures for Pike County Community Work Center come from PREA audit materials. The 2025 audit reported a designated capacity of 93, an average daily population of 46 for the prior 12 months, and one housing unit. A 2022 PREA audit reported the same 93-person capacity and an average daily population of 45. Those audit figures show a stable low-to-mid 40s average against the stated capacity during the recent audit years.

PREA audits are useful because they are facility-specific official records. They should still be read within their limits. The figures describe audit-period capacity, average population, and housing-unit count. They do not create a live daily roster, a release list, a sentence-history report, or a demographic table for every person assigned to the work center.

Pike County Community Work Center Lookup

Use the MDOC inmate search for Pike County Community Work Center. The county jail roster is not the right tool for a person who is already in state corrections custody. MDOC's locator states that users may enter a name or an ID number and then search. The captured search page showed fields for first name, last name, and MDOC ID number.

Searching by MDOC ID is the cleanest route when the number is known. A name search is still useful, but spelling and name changes can affect results. After a result appears, confirm that the facility or custody status matches Pike County CWC before making travel or mailing decisions. If the person was recently sentenced in a Pike County court, there may be a lag between county jail records, intake, classification, and the final MDOC placement.

1. Open the MDOC inmate search page and choose either name fields or MDOC ID number.
2. Enter the most exact spelling available. Use the ID number when a court paper or prior MDOC record provides it.
3. Review the result for current facility, status, and identifying details before assuming the person is at Pike County CWC.
4. Call the work center if the locator and family information do not match or if a visit, mail item, or deposit is planned.

Note: If the person is still pretrial or held on a new local arrest, check the Pike County Detention Center roster path instead.

Pike County Community Work Center Contact

The MDOC facility page provides the core contact details for Pike County Community Work Center. Use the facility phone for visit questions, mail questions, custody confirmation, and rule checks that are not answered by the public locator. Use the fax only when MDOC or the facility has instructed that a document should be sent that way.

The screenshot below comes from the official MDOC Pike County CWC facility page, which is the source for the facility type, address, telephone, fax, and listed major.

The MDOC page is the correct starting point for the state facility, while the county jail roster remains a separate local custody source.

Pike County Community Work Center Visitation

No full Pike County Community Work Center visitation schedule was captured from the MDOC facility page in the research file. That means specific visiting days and times should not be invented from another jail or from a general assumption about Mississippi work centers. MDOC custody usually requires approval, rule compliance, and facility confirmation before a visit, and the facility should be contacted when the public page does not publish a complete schedule.

Do not use Pike County Detention Center's pod visitation table for Pike County CWC. The county jail schedule belongs to local jail housing zones. The work center follows state corrections rules, and the inmate's MDOC status and facility instructions control whether a visit can happen.

Pike County Community Work Center Mail

Mail, phone, and money questions for Pike County Community Work Center should follow MDOC rules, not Pike County jail rules. The research file did not capture a CWC-specific mail format, phone provider, tablet vendor, deposit vendor, or fee schedule from the facility page. Because those details can change and can cause rejected mail or failed deposits, call the facility or use current MDOC family-and-friends instructions before sending anything.

MDOC public records are also handled through MDOC procedures. The MDOC public records page says requests to examine, copy, or obtain public records must be in writing and are not accepted by telephone. That records channel is different from a routine facility call, which is better for visit status, mailing rules, and current contact questions.

Pike County Jail to MDOC

A Pike County criminal case can begin with an arrest, booking, and local jail roster entry. If the person is convicted and sentenced to state custody, custody can move from the county jail to MDOC intake, classification, and then a state placement such as a prison, community work center, or another corrections unit. After that transfer, the county active inmate list may stop being useful for current location.

The work center is part of that state-custody layer. It does not replace the county jail, and it does not make every Pike County arrestee a state inmate. The right search tool depends on the stage of the case: county roster for current local jail custody, court records for filed charges and case status, MDOC locator for sentenced state custody, and federal or immigration locators only when a federal agency controls custody.
