Contact Us

Use the office that holds the record you need. Lawrence County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office, and cannot confirm custody or release, retrieve an official booking record, post bond, or provide legal advice. The routes below identify the documented contacts for Lawrence County and Mississippi records.

For a live custody answer, a release decision, an official booking record, bond, or legal guidance, contact the responsible public office directly. This private site has no authority to confirm, obtain, alter, or act on official records.


Official Lawrence County Record Routes

For a booking, jail-docket, or sheriff-held record, start with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office listing. The official written-request mailing address is P.O. Box 816, Monticello, MS 39654. The main number is (601) 587-2961, and the listed fax is (601) 587-4740. No separate records-office hours were confirmed. Call the main number to identify the records custodian and the current delivery route before sending a request.

A secondary jail and current-custody lead lists the Lawrence County Jail or Detention Center at 1565 F East Sellers Highway, Monticello, MS 39654, with (601) 587-4995. This address and number come from a secondary facility directory, not a confirmed records-office policy or roster. Verify both with the sheriff before visiting or relying on them for an in-person request.

Mississippi’s Public Records Act, Miss. Code §§ 25-61-1 et seq., provides the applicable written-request route. Include the person’s name, useful date range, arresting agency if known, and the particular record sought. Ask for electronic copies when maintained that way and for an itemized actual-cost estimate before work begins. No Lawrence County fee schedule was confirmed, so no fixed fee or response charge is stated here.

Court and disposition contacts

For a felony docket, disposition, order, or Circuit Court routing question, use the official 15th Circuit Court information page: 517 E Broad Street, Monticello, MS 39654, (601) 587-4791. The Justice Court routing number is (601) 587-4854. Clerks handle court records and process questions, while the sheriff is the appropriate starting point for booking or current-custody questions.

Mississippi state-custody records

For a person in Mississippi Department of Corrections custody, use the official MDOC inmate search or contact the MDOC Records Department: P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225; (601) 933-2889; MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us. MDOC requires records requests in writing. State-custody records are different from a Lawrence County pretrial booking record.

The following site pages provide context, but they do not replace the responsible public office.

  • The home page explains the county booking-record request and official lookup paths.
  • Most Wanted identifies the warrant-check route through the sheriff and court clerk.
  • Crime News & Mugshots explains why news and third-party pages are not official custody or court records.
  • For an official court outcome, ask the court clerk for the docket or disposition rather than relying on a booking description.
  • For a federal or immigration detainee, use the appropriate federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator, not the Lawrence County jail contact.
