Search Arrest, Mugshot & Inmate Records by Name
Search by name and state for arrest, booking, mugshot, inmate, jail roster, prison, criminal and court-record search categories.
Independent records-search resource. This website is not a government agency, police department, sheriff's office, jail, prison or courthouse. Search coverage varies by source and jurisdiction. Some links may lead to third-party services, and compensation may be received when a partner service is used.
Find the Real Biloxi Booking, Not an Old Mugshot Page
If someone was arrested in Biloxi, the photograph is only the beginning of the search. The useful questions are whether the person actually reached Harrison County detention, which agency arrested them, what charges and bonds are currently listed, which court has the case, and whether they were released or transferred.
This guide follows that real workflow using Biloxi Police, Harrison County Sheriff, the Adult Detention Center, Biloxi Municipal Court, Harrison County courts, Mississippi SAVIN and state corrections sources.
Which Official Source Answers Your Biloxi Arrest Question?
Different systems answer different parts of the same arrest. Starting with the wrong one creates most of the confusion seen in Biloxi mugshot searches.
Fastest safe path: confirm jurisdiction → Harrison County inmate search → read current charges/bond → identify court → check release/transfer only if needed.
Biloxi Police Station Is Not the Harrison County Jail
Some search results and third-party inmate pages describe 170 Porter Avenue as a “Biloxi Jail.” That wording can send families to the wrong place.
| Location | Official role | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| 170 Porter Ave., Biloxi | Lopez-Quave Public Safety Center / Biloxi Police / Municipal Court | Police contacts, city records, warrants and Municipal Court matters |
| 10451 Larkin Smith Dr., Gulfport | Harrison County Adult Detention Center | County jail custody, inmate information and detention-related questions |
Do not mail inmate correspondence to the Police Department merely because a private site calls it the Biloxi jail. Follow the current Harrison County inmate handbook addresses instead.
How to Search Biloxi Mugshots Through Harrison County
The official Harrison County inmate-search page has a simple requirement that causes many failed searches: enter at least two characters in the Last Name field. If you enter less, the page remains blank.
Enter at least two surname letters
For “Williams,” begin with “Wi” if you are uncertain how the complete name appears.
Narrow only after seeing results
A broad surname search helps expose spelling differences, suffixes and name formatting before you over-filter.
Match the person, not just the picture
Compare the legal name, approximate age, arrest timing, arresting agency, docket information, charges and other available identifiers.
Read every charge and bond
A person may have multiple charges or holds. One visible bond amount is not automatically the complete release picture.
Save the docket and inmate identifiers
These identifiers become useful for court searches, mail, communication services and record requests.
Move to the correct court
The jail record tells you about detention. Court records are the better place for later legal developments.
Official accuracy warning: Harrison County states that its jail-docket information comes from multiple public sources, changes quickly and does not necessarily mean a listed person has been convicted.
What the Fields on a Biloxi Booking Record Actually Mean
A search becomes much safer when you understand the difference between an arresting agency, booking event, charge, docket, bond and current custody.
What to Do During the First Hours After a Biloxi Arrest
This is a practical search sequence, not an official promise about processing speed. Booking times vary depending on identity, health, classification, warrants and other operational issues.
Was the arrest actually by Biloxi Police and in Harrison County? If the person was arrested in another Mississippi county, Harrison County search may never show the record.
If no useful result appears, simplify the name rather than adding more uncertain details.
Have the legal name, date of birth if known and approximate arrest time ready before calling.
Use the bond or citation paperwork and correct court source rather than assuming the jail page answers every legal question.
Why intake can take time: the March 2026 handbook describes health screening, temporary housing, property inventory, photographing, fingerprinting, retina scanning and classification-related processing during admission.
Biloxi Police, Harrison County Sheriff or Another Agency?
The arresting agency and the detention agency do not have to be the same. This is why someone can be arrested by Biloxi Police but searched through the Harrison County jail system afterward.
| If the record involves | Useful contact/source | Best question |
|---|---|---|
| Biloxi Police arrest | Biloxi Police Department | Police report, city warrant or arresting-agency question |
| Current county custody | Harrison County Adult Detention Center | Current inmate / detention question |
| Harrison County warrant | Sheriff Warrants / Extradition | Active county warrant / extradition issue |
| Biloxi city warrant | Biloxi Police Warrants | City warrant or Municipal Court-related arrest issue |

How to Check Biloxi Bond Without Paying the Wrong Amount
Harrison County currently warns that a processing fee applies per bond. The word per matters when a person has multiple cases, charges or release conditions.
Current Harrison County Alert: $25 Per Bond
The Sheriff’s inmate-search page states that effective July 1, 2025, a $25 processing fee is added per bond.
Before You Make a Bond Payment
- Reopen the current official inmate record
- Confirm full legal name
- Confirm the person is still held
- Review every listed charge
- Review every bond separately
- Account for the current per-bond processing fee
- Ask whether another warrant or hold affects release
- Use the payment route linked by the Sheriff
Online Bond Payments
The official Harrison County inmate-search page currently provides an online bond-payment route through AllPaid. Start from the Sheriff page rather than searching for the payment company independently so you can verify the current destination.
Payment scam protection: never send bond money because of an unsolicited call, social-media message, gift-card request or unknown payment link. Verify the inmate and payment path independently.
“I am checking the current release status for [full legal name]. The docket or inmate number is [number if known]. Can you confirm how many bonds or holds are currently involved and which official payment route applies?”
Which Court Handles the Biloxi Arrest?
There is no single “Biloxi arrest court” for every charge. The correct court depends on jurisdiction and case level.
| Court/source | Typical use | Current contact |
|---|---|---|
| Biloxi Municipal Court | Traffic offenses and misdemeanor criminal violations occurring within Biloxi city limits | 228-435-6125 |
| Biloxi Justice Court | Harrison County Justice Court matters assigned to the Biloxi court | 228-435-8250 |
| Biloxi Circuit Court | Circuit-level matters, including felony criminal cases after they reach Circuit Court | 228-435-8258 |
| Biloxi County Court | County Court matters when that court has jurisdiction | 228-435-8294 |
| District Attorney — Biloxi | Prosecution-side questions appropriate for the District Attorney’s Office | 228-435-8245 |
Biloxi Municipal Court Schedule
The city’s current Municipal Court page lists arrest arraignments on Mondays beginning at 9 a.m., ticket arraignments on Tuesdays beginning at 1:30 p.m., and trials on Wednesday or Thursday beginning at 9 a.m.
Your paperwork controls: Biloxi Municipal Court specifically tells people who are unsure of the proper venue to review the ticket or bond-release information.
Failure to Appear Can Create Another Problem
The city’s court page warns that failure to appear for arraignment can result in an arrest warrant. Failure to appear for trial can result in the matter being tried in the person’s absence and, if found guilty, a warrant being issued.
Why court follow-up matters: the charge shown during booking is an arrest-stage allegation. Court proceedings determine what is formally filed and how the case ultimately develops.
Public Defender and Attorney Questions
This guide cannot determine whether someone qualifies for appointed counsel or provide legal advice, but the official Harrison County contact directory lists the local Public Defender’s Office.
Public Defender’s Office
Use for appropriate questions about local public-defense services.
District Attorney — Biloxi
Use only for questions appropriately directed to the prosecution office.
Have identifiers ready: legal name, court, docket/case number and next court date make legal-office calls much more efficient.
How Harrison County Inmate Visitation Works
The current Adult Detention Center handbook says regular visits are conducted by video. In-person visitation requires approval of the Warden.
Video Visits Are Monitored and Recorded
The handbook states that video visitation is recorded and monitored. Visitors must follow conduct and dress requirements even when participating remotely.
- Standard detention-center visits use video
- In-person visits require Warden approval
- Adult in-person visitors need government-issued photo ID
- Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent
- Dress-code requirements apply to video visits
- Contraband or disruptive conduct can terminate a visit
- Do not connect the visit to FaceTime or social media
- Video visits can be monitored and recorded
Video misconduct penalty: the 2026 handbook says inappropriate exposure during video visitation can produce a minimum 30-day suspension for a first incident and up to permanent removal for later incidents.
Current Published Video Rate
The March 18, 2026 rate table inside the handbook lists video visits at $0.19 per minute.
Current Harrison County Inmate Phone and Message Costs
The 2026 handbook identifies Ally Telecom / NCIC Correctional Services as the inmate phone-system manager and publishes rates current as of March 18, 2026.
| Communication | Published handbook rate |
|---|---|
| Local call | $0.12 per minute |
| In-state call | $0.12 per minute |
| Out-of-state call | $0.12 per minute |
| Mexico / Canada | $0.25 per minute |
| International | $0.35 per minute |
| Video visit | $0.19 per minute |
| Incoming message | $0.25 |
| Outgoing message | $0.25 |
Current Phone Availability Window
The handbook lists telephone availability from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, except for headcounts, meal passes, security shutdowns and other operational restrictions.
NCIC Customer Service
Rates can change after the handbook date. Always confirm the final price shown by the approved provider before adding funds.
Personal Mail and Legal Mail Use Different Addresses
This is one of the most important family-help details in the current handbook. Ordinary correspondence is scanned in Texas, while legal mail goes directly to the Gulfport facility.
Personal Mail
Scanning Address
Harrison County Adult Detention Center
Inmate’s Name and Docket Number
Cell Block, Section and Cell Number
P.O. Box 591
Longview, TX 75606
The handbook says qualifying personal mail is scanned at the central processing location and then made available electronically through the messaging system, kiosk or inmate tablet.
Legal Mail
Direct Facility Address
Harrison County Adult Detention Center
Inmate’s Name and Docket Number
10451 Larkin Smith Drive
Gulfport, MS 39503
Do not send legal or medical mail to the Texas scanning address. The handbook directs those items to the actual facility.
Current Personal-Mail Limits
- Use the inmate’s booked name
- Include the docket number
- Include a complete sender name and return address
- Maximum mail size is 8.5 × 11 inches
- Maximum five pages per mailing
- Write only on the front side of each page
- Maximum one photograph per mailing
- No packages at the scanning address
Can You Send a Photo to a Harrison County Inmate?
Yes, within the current handbook limits. The photo rules are stricter than many senders expect.
- Maximum printed size: 4 × 6 inches
- Only one photo per scanned-mail envelope
- No duplicate photographs
- No altered photographs
- No Polaroids
- No provocative or sexually explicit images
- No gang signs or security-risk content
- No negatives, slides, laminated photos or frames
One-photo consequence: the handbook says when more than one photograph is included in a scanned-mail envelope, the entire mailing and its contents can be returned without delivery.
Harrison County Commissary Limits and Deposit Fees
The March 2026 handbook says Premier Link operates the canteen and eligible inmates with funds can generally order once each week.
Weekly Canteen Limit: $100
The current handbook lists a maximum inmate canteen spending amount of $100 per week.
Deposit Options
Published Kiosk Fees
The handbook currently lists a $2.50 fee for cash kiosk deposits and a 10% fee for credit-card kiosk deposits.
Check the inmate first. The handbook says the inmate must already have an account set up before the kiosk can be used.
How to Pick Up Property After a Biloxi Arrest
The Adult Detention Center inventories personal property during booking. An inmate can authorize someone to pick up stored property.
The March 2026 handbook lists property pickup any day, including weekends, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.. The inmate first submits a completed Property Release request through the kiosk.
Inmate submits the release request
The property-release process begins from inside the facility.
Front desk contacts the designated person
Do not assume the property is ready merely because you were told an arrest occurred.
Bring current photo identification
The handbook requires current photo ID for the person picking up the property.
Transfer deadline: property that another agency or MDOC will not accept is held for only 30 days after transfer according to the handbook, after which it can be destroyed.
What to Do When the Inmate Disappears From the County Search
A missing current record can mean release, transfer, a name-search problem or a move into another custody system.
Use Mississippi SAVIN Instead of Refreshing the Mugshot Page
Mississippi SAVIN is designed for automated custody-status notifications for participating county and state offenders.
The state says SAVIN can provide notifications for events such as transfers, return to custody, escape/abscond status and release from custody. Registration can be anonymous for general users.

When Harrison County Search Is No Longer the Right Tool
County jail and state-prison databases serve different stages of custody.
| Question | Best source |

| Was someone just arrested in Biloxi? | Harrison County inmate search |
| Are they still in the county jail? | Harrison County Adult Detention Center |
| Were they sentenced/transferred into state custody? | Mississippi Department of Corrections |
| Do I want release/transfer alerts? | Mississippi SAVIN / VINE |
| What happened to the criminal case? | Correct Biloxi/Harrison County court |
How to Request Biloxi Police or Harrison County Records
Identify the agency that created or maintains the document before sending a request. A Biloxi Police incident report and a Harrison County Sheriff’s report are different records.

Fax: 228-435-6144
Current city listing: weekdays 8 a.m.-5 p.m., excluding holidays.
Harrison County Sheriff’s Public Records
The Sheriff’s public-resources page says police-report requests can be submitted by mail or in person and asks requesters to provide state-issued identification. Criminal-history/background requests use a separate form and must be submitted in person.
Copyable Records Request
I am requesting the publicly releasable [booking photograph / booking record / arrest report / incident report] concerning [full legal name], associated with an arrest or incident in Biloxi or Harrison County on or about [date]. Known identifiers include [docket number / inmate number / report number / arresting agency]. Please advise whether your office holds the record and whether identification, fees, restrictions or redactions apply.
What If the Case Was Dismissed, Changed or Expunged?
A historical third-party mugshot page can remain online even when the court record later changes. The current legal status should be checked separately from the old arrest image.
Harrison County Sheriff’s Public Resources page provides Mississippi expungement materials, including an expungement handbook and related forms. Whether someone qualifies depends on the specific case and applicable law.
Do not assume expungement automatically deletes every privately copied webpage. Court/public-record status and third-party website removal are separate issues.
Why a Biloxi Mugshot or Booking May Not Appear
No result is not automatically evidence that no arrest occurred. Use the specific problem to choose the next action.
Searching Outside Biloxi?
Biloxi is on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where nearby jurisdictions can easily be confused in arrest searches. Always use the county where the booking actually occurred.
Jackson County / Pascagoula or Ocean Springs area
If the arrest occurred east of Harrison County in Jackson County, use our Jackson County jail inmate mugshots guide instead of continuing to search the Biloxi/Harrison County system.
Hattiesburg / Pine Belt area
If the person was arrested farther north around Hattiesburg, use our Hattiesburg Mississippi mugshot and booking guide to identify the correct local jail and court path.
Before You Trust or Share a Biloxi Mugshot
A final 60-second verification can prevent a wrong-person match, stale-custody claim or misleading description of an arrest.
- I confirmed Biloxi, Mississippi / Harrison County.
- I did not confuse 170 Porter Ave. with the county detention center.
- I searched the official Harrison County inmate database.
- I matched several identifiers, not only the photo.
- I checked every current charge and bond.
- I identified the correct court from the case or paperwork.
- I checked release or transfer status when necessary.
- I did not describe an arrest as a conviction.
