This private reference is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange release, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those matters.
Lowndes County Records Contacts
For current county custody or an existing booking record, begin with the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office. The Adult Detention Center uses the same MLK Drive campus. The county's accessible public-record request route is the county form and policy, because the sheriff website is a JavaScript application shell in the public crawl.
527 South Martin Luther King Jr. Drive
Columbus, MS 39701
Main and non-emergency: 662-328-6788

Use the Lowndes County Public Record Request page for the form and policy. Identify the name, date range, agency, and the exact existing item requested. Standard photocopies are listed at $0.50 per page; a digital image, review, search, or mailing cost can differ, so request an estimate.
Choose the Correct Official Path
Custody, court, and corrections records do not all come from the same system.
- Use the county booking and custody reference for the sheriff app, official request path, roster limits, and the distinction between a booking and a final court result.
- For a warrant-related question, follow the court or sheriff contact sequence in Wanted Fugitives. Do not rely on a dated social notice for current status.
- The Lowndes County Circuit Clerk, 505 2nd Avenue, Room 260, Columbus, MS 39701, telephone 662-329-5900, is the route for Circuit and County Court case information and certified copies.
- For someone transferred to state custody, use the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate or parolee search rather than a county jail roster.
- Use the Bureau of Prisons locator for federal custody and the ICE Online Detainee Locator only for its separate immigration-custody purpose.
