Locate Wilkinson County Correctional Facility Inmates

Wilkinson Correctional Facility Overview

Wilkinson County Correctional Facility is listed by the Mississippi Department of Corrections facility page as a state prison in Woodville. The research identifies it as operated by Management & Training Corporation under MDOC oversight. The population held is sentenced MDOC prisoners, not people newly booked after a Wilkinson County arrest. That distinction controls the whole lookup process.

The 2025 PREA final audit for the facility lists warden/director Carl DeLaney, assistant warden Ray Arbuthnot, health service administrator Jessica Krueger with VitalCore, and a male population designation. It reports minimum, medium, and close custody levels, an age range of 20 to 65, and 22 housing units. Those details make the facility a prison-classification setting, not a county booking desk or pretrial jail.

The screenshot supports the facility identity and MDOC routing, while the inmate search itself still runs through the statewide MDOC locator.

Wilkinson Correctional Population

The strongest sourced population data comes from MDOC and the 2025 PREA audit. The audit lists a designed capacity of 952 and a current population of 900. It also lists average daily population fields of 907 and 921, and it reports no over-capacity point during the prior twelve months. MDOC's November 2024 daily population sheet lists Wilkinson County under private prisons with 920 capacity and an average population of 897.

Search Wilkinson Correctional Inmates

Use MDOC inmate search or the MS.gov MDOC inmate search interface for prisoners at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility. The county sheriff's office does not maintain the state prison profile. MDOC search accepts name or MDOC ID number and returns state custody fields such as location, unit, entry date, sentence details, offense blocks, and county of conviction.

1. Open the MDOC inmate search and choose name or ID number as the search criteria.
2. Enter the last name and first name, or enter the exact MDOC ID number if known.
3. Review the result and confirm that the location field points to Wilkinson County Correctional Facility or an MDOC abbreviation tied to that placement.
4. Open the profile to review sentence length, offense, county of conviction, location change date, and unit details.
5. If the person is on parole or post-release supervision, use MDOC parolee search rather than the inmate locator.

For a recent local arrest, start with the Wilkinson County sheriff instead. A person who has not been sentenced to MDOC will not appear at this prison just because the arrest happened in Wilkinson County. For the local jail path, see Wilkinson County jail inmate records.

Wilkinson Correctional Contact

Facility contact should be used for facility-specific questions such as visiting status, mail rules, arrival instructions, and general prison routing. Sentence-credit, time computation, or statewide records questions may need MDOC Records instead of the prison switchboard. The research lists the MDOC Records Department at PO Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, phone 601-933-2889 or 1-866-783-9359, and MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us.

Wilkinson Correctional Visits

MDOC visitation rules apply to Wilkinson County Correctional Facility. The MDOC family and friends page says visitors on prison grounds are subject to search of the person, vehicle, personal property, and items in possession. Visitors must park in designated areas, cannot keep personal keys in the visitation center, and must leave cell phones, wallets, purses, handbags, change purses, excessive clothing, and similar property locked in vehicles. Tobacco products cannot be brought into visitation centers, and drug-detection canines may be used.

Note: MDOC rules can change by facility status, so confirm the visit list, date, and property limits before driving to Woodville.

Wilkinson Correctional Mail and Money

Mail, money, telephone, and video services for MDOC prisoners should be confirmed through MDOC and the facility before use. The research did not capture a Wilkinson-specific commissary fee table or deposit vendor page. Do not treat a private deposit result as official unless MDOC or the facility confirms it. Use the prison address and the prisoner's MDOC ID details as directed by current facility rules.

Wilkinson Correctional Intake

Intake at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility is not street-arrest booking. It is state-prison placement after MDOC commitment or transfer. A prisoner may arrive after sentencing, classification, transfer, or reassignment within the Mississippi prison system. Classification assigns custody level, housing, work or program eligibility, security restrictions, and facility placement based on MDOC criteria.

Classification

MDOC's security and housing assessment for a sentenced prisoner.

Location field

The current prison or unit shown on an MDOC public profile.

County of conviction

The county tied to the sentence, which may be different from the facility's county.

Parolee search

A separate MDOC search path for people under parole or post-release supervision.

Wilkinson Correctional Programs

The 2025 PREA audit gives the strongest sourced view of facility conditions and oversight. It documents formal PREA compliance review, leadership interviews, health-services contact, population categories, staff and contractor counts, volunteer counts, and housing information. The audit reports 5 standards exceeded, 40 standards met, and 0 standards not met. It also identifies community outreach involving the Mississippi Coalition Against Sexual Assault.

The audit lists 131 staff who may contact inmates, 32 contractors, and 38 volunteers. It also reports demographic and access categories from the first audit day, including inmates with cognitive or functional disability categories, blind or low-vision inmates, limited English proficient inmates, lesbian, gay, or bisexual inmates, and transgender or intersex inmates. Those figures are audit-context data, not a live roster, but they show why MDOC facility records differ from a simple jail booking sheet.
