This is a private reference site, not a sheriff's office, jail, court clerk, corrections department, or bond desk. It cannot verify whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visitation, or pull an official booking record. Use the official offices below for those actions.
Official Offices and Lookup Routes
For current county jail matters, start with the Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Office and the Oktibbeha County Detention Center. The office is operated by Sheriff Shank Phelps at 111 Dr. D.L. Conner Drive, Starkville, MS 39759. Public phone: 662-323-2421. Posted public hours are 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. CST, Monday through Friday. Records staff detail from the sheriff directory lists Kathleen Odneal, Chief of Staff-Records, at odneal@sheriff.oktibbeha.ms.us.
For court files after an arrest, use the Circuit Court Clerk record path. Written requests may be sent to Office of the Circuit Court Clerk, 108 West Main Street, Starkville, MS 39759, or emailed to trook@oktcircuitcourt.org. The research file notes that the clerk form refers to Mississippi Open Records Act timing and Circuit Clerk administrative procedures.
Choose the route that matches the record or custody system:
- For a person currently held in the county jail, use the official sheriff roster described under jail inmate records or call 662-323-2421.
- For booking photos on the public roster, use the jail roster mugshots page and the sheriff records route for formal requests.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, the Circuit Clerk request form, or the county-linked Delta records portal.
- For facility-specific custody, visitation, commissary, or video-visit context, open the Oktibbeha County Detention Center page from the footer.
- For a sentenced Mississippi prisoner, search the Mississippi Department of Corrections at MDOC inmate search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the federal BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System rather than the county roster.
