Tunica County Detention Center Overview

The Tunica County Detention Center is the primary county jail and the only adult detention facility in Tunica County located in official sources. It is operated by the Tunica County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. The facility serves people arrested by the sheriff's office or other authorized agencies, people booked on local misdemeanor or felony allegations, people held on foreign or fugitive warrants, and people waiting on bond, first appearance, transfer, or local sentence completion.

The sheriff corrections page describes the detention mission as maintaining social order while providing professional detention services within ethical and constitutional limits. It also names local jail functions such as classification, inmate healthcare service, housing, feeding, clothing, medical care, recreation, safety, education, and chaplain staffing. Security levels, housing pods, construction details, accreditation status, and a rated bed capacity were not published in the captured official Tunica pages.

The facility should not be confused with the historic old Tunica County Jail. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History records the old jail as an 1894 Romanesque Revival building and Mississippi Landmark. The current detention center is the sheriff-operated jail on Old Mhoon Landing Road, and it is the facility tied to the current roster and release roster.

Tunica County Detention Center Population

The researched sources did not locate an official rated capacity for Tunica County Detention Center. The public roster snapshot captured June 19, 2026 showed 23 current inmates. A historical Prison Policy Initiative/BJS table listed 68 local jail prisoners at the facility on December 31, 2013. That older number is historical population data and should not be treated as the jail's current capacity.

The Tunica County Detention Center population changes with arrests, releases, bond rulings, court dates, holds, and transfers to MDOC or other agencies. A one-day roster count is useful for a custody search, but it is not the same as average daily population or annual bookings.

Lookup Tunica County Detention Center Inmates

Use the county roster for this facility because it is a county jail, not a state prison or federal detention center. The current inmate roster covers active custody at the Tunica County Detention Center. The release roster covers recently released people listed by the sheriff.

Tunica County Detention Center Contact

The sheriff site publishes the same main number for jail and sheriff contact needs and labels it as a 24-hour phone. Administrative office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. Use the phone line for bond, release, case-number, visitation, mail, and records-routing questions.

Visiting Tunica County Detention Center

The captured sheriff pages did not publish a full visitation schedule, visitor approval process, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit rule, or remote video schedule. That source gap should be treated as a practical warning. Confirm current rules before traveling, especially if the person was recently booked, moved, placed under a hold, or scheduled for court transport.

Mail Phone and Money

The sheriff's captured sources identify City Telecoin as the inmate phone provider and Access Corrections Secure Deposits as the commissary and phone-fund deposit provider. No full mail policy was found. Call before sending letters, photos, books, packages, legal mail, or money, and ask whether the facility uses physical delivery, scanning, or another routing rule.

Tunica County Jail Booking

A booking at Tunica County Detention Center begins when a deputy, municipal officer, warrant officer, or another authorized agency brings the arrested person to the jail. Staff create or update the booking record, assign a booking number, take or attach the booking photo, record charge and bond information, and begin classification and medical screening. The roster's arresting-agency field identifies the agency, such as TCSO, when shown.

Warden Reginald Boykin's responsibilities include daily operations, inmate classification, inmate healthcare service, and supervision of detention staff. Assistant Jail Administrator Shontina Reed assists with housing, feeding, clothing, medical care, recreation, safety, education, and budget work. Those local details are the strongest researched source for how intake connects to classification and care inside the Tunica County Detention Center.

Tunica County Corrections Leadership

Chief Eugene Bridges is listed as Chief of Corrections and Courts and oversees management of the detention center. Warden Reginald Boykin is Director of Corrections and Warden of the Tunica County Sheriff's Office Detention Center. Boykin began corrections work in 1990, joined Tunica County in 2004 as Assistant Warden, and became Warden in 2005. The sheriff page lists Shontina Reed as Assistant Jail Administrator.

The sheriff site presents the office as a community-facing public-safety agency, with crime tips, alerts, press releases, sex offender information, most wanted information, employment, and roster access. For the jail reader, the most important point is still operational: the roster is public, but the detention center phone line is the confirmation point for bond, charges, release, case numbers, visitation, and records questions.

Statewide training standards also frame local detention work. The Mississippi Board on Jail Officer Standards and Training describes required detention-officer training, including CPR and First Aid and a 96-hour standardized detention officer course. The sheriff biography for Warden Boykin lists Board on Jail Officer Standards and Training in 2007, Supervisory Management from Mississippi Delta Law Enforcement Training Academy in 2004, and Basic Detention Officer Certification from the Criminal Justice Training Institute in 2004.

Tunica County Detention Records

Current jail records are easiest to find through the public roster, but older records may require a direct request to the sheriff's office. The researched sheriff Forms page did not show a dedicated public-records request form. Use the main sheriff address and phone, ask for the records custodian, and identify the record sought by name, date, booking number, and record type when known.

Mississippi Public Records Act provisions apply to releasable jail records. Section 25-61-5 addresses response timing, and Section 25-61-7 allows actual-cost fees. Some details may be redacted or withheld if a specific exemption applies, including protected personnel information, juvenile restrictions, court orders, or active-investigation concerns. For bond and case-number questions, the jail phone line is still the fastest confirmation route.

Directions to Tunica County Detention Center

The facility is at 5126 Old Mhoon Landing Road in Tunica. From central Tunica, route toward Old Mhoon Landing Road and follow sheriff or county-government signage. From the casino and Robinsonville area, approach Tunica first, then route to Old Mhoon Landing Road rather than the courthouse on School Street. From outside the county, use the exact sheriff-published street address in a mapping app.

Official visitor parking, transit, ADA entrance, and visitor-property rules were not published in the captured pages. Call 662-363-1411 to confirm the public entrance, accessibility route, screening rules, and parking before arriving.
