Find Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility Releases

TCCF Release Authority

Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, often shortened to TCCF, is a private contract prison operated by CoreCivic. Its public address is 19351 U.S. Highway 49 North, Tutwiler, MS 38963. The main telephone is 662-345-6567, and the published fax is 662-345-8527. The operator page lists Jesse Williams as warden beginning in May 2026. A separate PREA contact block uses another Highway 49 address, so callers should confirm the correct mailing line for the exact request before sending it.

The facility is not an ordinary county jail with one roster and one release authority. CoreCivic’s current page gives distinct reporting instructions for USMS detainees and state prisoners sent from Vermont and the Virgin Islands. Official historic material also documents ICE use, while Montana confirms contracted placements. Contracts change. The right question is not merely whether someone was at TCCF. Ask which authority owned the booking and authorized the exit.

Operator

The private company running the building.

Legal custodian

The government authority controlling a person’s custody record.

Sending jurisdiction

The county, state, or federal agency that placed the person at TCCF.

Destination

The community or next custodian named in the exit record.

TCCF Release Destinations

At least five exit paths are supported by the research. Only some mean community release. A local pretrial detainee may leave on bond or a court order. A person serving a local term may finish that term, subject to any other hold. Someone else may be committed to MDOC or moved to another county. An outside prisoner may return to the sending state. A federal or immigration authority may assume custody. The exit time alone cannot distinguish those paths.

Confirm a TCCF Release

Start with the facility or sheriff and ask for three items: the booking number, the legal custodian, and the sending agency. Those facts point to the correct search. The operator’s website has facility information but no public person search, roster, or recent-release feed.

1. Verify the person’s full legal name, birth date, booking or agency number, and the date range at TCCF.
2. Ask which authority owns the custody record and which agency ordered the person’s placement.
3. Request the exit date and time, exact disposition, and receiving agency or destination.
4. Check the source system for that authority. Use the Tallahatchie log for a county booking, a state DOC for its prisoner, and federal tools for a federal detainee.
5. Pair the operational exit entry with the court or agency order that authorized it.
6. If the record says transfer, confirm arrival or status in the receiving system.

For Tallahatchie-controlled custody, search the proper Circuit Court district and request the local booking and release entry. For another county, use that county’s docket and custodian. For a state prisoner, use the sending state’s locator and discharge process. The full Tallahatchie County released-inmate search compares these sources.

TCCF Release Record Requests

Direct a request first to the legal custodian. CoreCivic can be asked which contracting agency controls the record if that fact is unclear. For a Tallahatchie booking, ask the sheriff for the booking and release entry, destination field, and booking photograph. For an outside prisoner, follow the sending jurisdiction’s records law. A narrow request tied to one person and date range is more likely to answer the question than a demand for the facility’s full population.

Ask for the actual exit timestamp, release or transfer type, authority for the event, destination, receiving agency, booking identifier, and any correction history. If the operator does not own the record, request the name and contact route for the government client that does. Do not assume Mississippi public-records procedures govern an out-of-state client’s document.

Note: A booking photograph should be requested from the agency that created and controls the image for that custody episode.

TCCF County Jail Role

Mississippi HB 1699, signed in 2000, authorized the Tallahatchie County Board of Supervisors to contract for correctional-facility use as the county jail. That law supports a county-jail role, but it does not prove every current Tallahatchie arrestee is booked at TCCF. It also does not turn every contract prisoner into a Tallahatchie County inmate.

No current official source in the completed sweep verified separate operating sheriff jails in Charleston or Sumner. Commercial directories conflict on names, addresses, and telephone numbers, so those claims were excluded. Ask the sheriff or Board of Supervisors one precise question: which facility currently books a Tallahatchie County arrest, and which office keeps its booking and release log? The county directory lists the Board at 150 Court Square in Charleston, mailing P.O. Box 350, telephone 662-647-5551.

TCCF Federal Release Searches

A USMS pretrial detainee may be housed at TCCF without appearing in the Bureau of Prisons locator. There is no public nationwide USMS detainee-release locator identified in the research. Tallahatchie County is in the Northern District of Mississippi, so use the federal docket, the holding facility, and the district Marshals office for a specific order or status. The office is at the U.S. Courthouse, 911 Jackson Avenue, Suite 234, Oxford, MS 38655-3656, telephone 662-513-2300.

The BOP locator covers federal inmates from 1982 forward and can show a release date with “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody.” That result means only that BOP custody ended. Another state, local, or federal authority may still hold the person. ICE’s Online Detainee Locator System has a separate search for current custody and certain releases from ICE custody within about sixty days. People under eighteen are not searchable there.

If TCCF says ICE took custody, use ICE ODLS. An A-number search requires nine digits and country of birth; add leading zeroes if needed. A biographical search needs the exact first and last name plus country of birth and may use date of birth. Disappearance after ICE’s recent-release window does not establish the date or type of release.

Strong TCCF Release Proof

The strongest record packet has three parts. First is the facility or legal custodian entry with the exit date, time, and disposition. Second is the court or agency document authorizing that action. Third is a next-custodian check when the disposition says transfer. Together, those records show what happened at the building and whether legal custody continued.

A photograph does not prove present status. Neither does absence from a list. A sending-state order may carry more weight than a local Tallahatchie document for a contract prisoner. Likewise, a Tallahatchie court order may control a local booking even if the person slept in a privately run bed. Match every record to the booking identifier and custody authority.

TCCF Release Record Fields

A useful TCCF request should connect the person, the custody authority, and the exit. Give the full name, date of birth or agency number, approximate arrival date, and suspected sending jurisdiction. Ask for the booking or facility identifier, the government client, the date and time the person left, the exact release or transfer code, and the receiving agency or destination. If a court or agency order is referenced, ask for enough identifying detail to locate it with that source.

Also ask whether the requested booking image was created by TCCF, supplied by the sending agency, or controlled by another authority. The answer determines where a lawful records request should go. A TCCF intake image, a Tallahatchie sheriff booking photograph, an MDOC profile photo, and an outside-state institutional image are separate records even when they show the same person.

TCCF Operator Release Limits

The official CoreCivic facility page supplies current facility identity, contact details, and clues about client populations.

The screenshot is useful for routing. It is not a roster, release list, or proof about one person. No official operator page was found for a 24-hour list, 72-hour list, release-photo archive, release processing schedule, property-return policy, or public transportation schedule. Confirm each issue with the custodian rather than borrowing terms from a commercial jail directory.
