Lenoir Rowell Jail Overview
The official Pearl River County jail page identifies the Lenoir Rowell Criminal Justice Center as the county jail and gives separate contacts for jail administration, inmate records, accounts, warrants, and reports. The facility is operated by the Pearl River County Sheriff's Department. The sheriff page identifies Sheriff David Allison as the county's elected sheriff and describes the office as responsible for the jail, courthouse duties, court security, and prisoner protection. For custody questions, the jail page is the more direct source because it names the staff roles tied to inmate records and jail operations.
Lenoir Rowell is a county adult detention facility, not a state prison and not a federal prison. It is the place to check for current county jail custody after an arrest in Pearl River County, including people arrested by Picayune Police or Poplarville Police once they are transferred into county custody. The county jail page also links notices for general population, federal inmates, female federal inmates, A&D or state offenders, trustees, inmate mail, visitation dates, and bonding agents. Those separate links show that the jail manages several custody categories, but the research did not capture the text of those PDFs, so exact schedules and document wording should be verified through the jail before a visit or deposit.
The county jail image below comes from the Pearl River County County Jail contact page, which is the local source for Lenoir Rowell staff names, roster links, and jail notice links.
The contact page is useful because it separates inmate records from commissary, warrants, shift command, and incident-report questions.
Lenoir Rowell Capacity
Population figures for Lenoir Rowell should be treated as sourced historical jail data, not as a live count. The research found no current county-published jail population dashboard, daily headcount page, or 2026 bed count. The most usable county-level population source in the file is Vera Institute county data. Vera lists Pearl River County jail-rated capacity at 360 for 2017, 2018, and 2019. It lists a 2019 total jail population of 206, total sentenced custody of 103, total jail admissions of 1,034.32, and a total jail population rate of 108.4 per 100,000 age 15 to 64. Broader county population context is kept with the Pearl River County inmate population hub. The fractional admissions value reflects Vera estimation or interpolation, so it should not be read as a booking counter from the sheriff.
A local media construction report from 2002 described a planned 48,000 square foot complex with room for 386 beds, but the research instructions say to use that only as history, not as a current official capacity figure. Vera also shows older capacity fields changing over time, including 310 in 2016 and 333 in 2014. That history matters because a single bed count can become stale. For jail crowding, the trend data is clearer than any one headline number: Vera listed 354 people against 333 capacity in 2014, 305 against 310 in 2016, 310 against 360 in 2017, 247 against 360 in 2018, and 206 against 360 in 2019.

Lenoir Rowell Inmate Lookup
The official current-custody path is the county-linked Bluhorse current inmates page, indexed as Current Inmates - Lenoir Rowell Criminal Justice Center. This roster is for county jail custody. It is not the Mississippi Department of Corrections prison locator, and it is not a court docket. During research, direct shell access to Bluhorse returned an expired certificate or 403 condition, so a browser may behave differently than a command-line request. If the roster will not load, inmate records at the jail is the next access channel, not a sign that the person was never booked.
- Open the county jail page and follow Inmate Listing, or open the Bluhorse current-inmates link directly.
- Search the current list by name if the portal is available in the browser.
- Compare the result against booking number, charge label, agency, bond fields, and housing fields where shown.
- If the person has been sentenced to state prison, search the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search by name or MDOC ID.
- For release or transfer alerts, use VINELink rather than relying on a static roster screenshot.
Municipal arrest records need a careful read. Picayune Police and Poplarville Police do not publish city jail rosters in the source material. A person arrested by either agency may first be processed by that police department, then appear on the Lenoir Rowell roster after county booking. For field-level roster guidance, use the Pearl River County jail inmate records page. For older bookings, recently released people, or a roster outage, the fallback is Rainie Rivet for inmate records at 601-403-2511 or Rachel LaGrange for background checks and incident reports at 601-403-2510. A public-records request under Mississippi law may be needed for a booking record that is no longer shown online.
Lenoir Rowell Contact
The Pearl River County jail page gives several direct lines, which is useful when a custody question is more specific than a roster search. Use the jail administrator line for broad jail operation questions, inmate records for custody and booking-record questions, commissary or inmate accounts for money questions, and warrants or extraditions for hold questions. The county main number is available, but the named jail contacts are more precise.

Lenoir Rowell Visitation
The county jail page links a Visitation Dates PDF and separate category notices for general population, federal inmates, female federal inmates, A&D/state offenders, and trustees. The research could not retrieve those PDFs in shell, so exact visit days and hours are not published here as if confirmed. The safe procedure is to call the jail or the relevant records line before travel, especially when the inmate is listed as a federal inmate, a state offender, a trustee, or housed under a special category.
Visitors should expect jail rules on government identification, dress, personal property, and approval or scheduling. The research did not locate visitor parking fees, public transit instructions, ADA entry notes, locker rules, or lobby timing on the official jail materials. The jail is outside downtown Poplarville in the Savannah Millard or Millard area, so confirm the address, entry door, and current rule sheet before leaving, especially from Picayune or southern Pearl River County.
| Population or Category | Official Source Located | Schedule Captured |
|---|---|---|
| General population | County-linked General Population List PDF | No, verify with jail |
| Federal inmates | County-linked Federal Inmates PDF | No, verify with jail |
| Female federal inmates | County-linked Female Federal Inmates PDF | No, verify with jail |
| A&D or state offenders | County-linked state offenders notice | No, verify with jail |
| Trustees | County-linked Trustee Notice PDF | No, verify with jail |
Lenoir Rowell Mail and Money
The county jail page links an inmate mail procedures and regulations PDF, but the text was not captured during research. That means envelope format, inmate ID placement, approved photos, cards, publications, and banned items must be confirmed with the jail before mailing. Use the facility name, inmate name, and the jail street address only after confirming the current mail format, because jails often reject mail that omits a booking number or uses a barred package type.
For money, the confirmed local contact is commissary and inmate accounts, Emily Morgan at 601-403-2524. The research did not locate a county-posted online deposit vendor, kiosk schedule, phone-deposit number, tablet vendor, remote-video vendor, or fee table for Lenoir Rowell. MDOC money rules are separate and apply after a person has moved into state prison custody. MDOC says institutional money transfers use Premier Services online or Western Union agent locations, but that should not be applied to county jail deposits unless the jail confirms it for a specific inmate.
| Service | Documented Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail rules | County-linked inmate mail procedures PDF exists; text not captured, verify format with jail. |
| Commissary/accounts | Emily Morgan, 601-403-2524, fax 601-403-2509. |
| County deposit vendor | No vendor or fee schedule located in official county materials. |
| MDOC money | Separate state prison path through Premier Services or Western Union after MDOC transfer. |
Lenoir Rowell Booking
Booking at Lenoir Rowell follows the local arrest path. A person may be arrested by a sheriff deputy, Picayune Police, Poplarville Police, or another agency, then transported for county jail intake or transferred after municipal processing. Intake normally includes identity checks, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photo, medical or safety screening, charge entry, bond or hold review, classification, and housing assignment. The roster may show booking number, inmate name, date of birth or age, intake date and time, arresting agency, charge code or description, bond amount, bond type, bond status, building, pod, and internal identifiers where public.
Roster charges are booking or hold charges. They are not always the final court charges. A charge can be amended, reduced, dismissed, indicted differently, or marked nolle prosequi after prosecutor review. For filed court charges after a jail arrest, use Mississippi Electronic Courts, the county or circuit court clerk, municipal court for city cases, or the District Attorney path for felony prosecution. For custody status and bond fields, use the jail roster and jail records first.
Custody terms: A detainer is another agency's hold request. Remand means a court sends a person back to custody. Classification is the jail's housing and risk review.
About Lenoir Rowell
The research found no current county-published program catalog, medical request procedure, grievance policy, tablet program, jail inspection report, consent decree, or reentry schedule for the Lenoir Rowell Criminal Justice Center. The county's linked trustee and A&D/state offender notices show that internal status categories exist, but they do not support a claim about a specific program schedule. For program eligibility, attorney access, or special housing status, use jail administration or inmate records rather than a general web search.
Lenoir Rowell also sits at the junction of county, state, and federal custody systems. The county roster is the main path for current Pearl River County jail inmates. MDOC is the path for sentenced state prisoners after transfer. The Bureau of Prisons locator covers sentenced federal prisoners, while federal pretrial custody may require U.S. Marshals, federal court, attorney, or jail contact. ICE ODLS is the immigration detainee locator, but it is not a mugshot gallery and may not show every local jail hold.
Note: Confirm custody, housing category, and visitation rules with Lenoir Rowell before traveling to the jail.
