Marion-Walthall Regional CI, MS

To visit at Marion-Walthall Regional CI, the inmate must send you an Application for Visiting Privileges. Fill out every section and mail it to the MDOC address listed in the packet—MDOC doesn't provide these forms online or send them by mail or email on request. Each inmate can list up to 10 visitors, and immediate family typically stays on the list unless the inmate removes them. When you arrive, you'll register at the visitation processing center, show valid photo ID, sign the visitor log, and have the top of your right hand stamped. You may be frisked or asked to walk through an electronic body scanner. Follow the MDOC dress code, leave phones, wallets, and purses locked in your vehicle, and don't bring money, OTC medication, or other prohibited items. Visitation is a privilege—it can be denied or ended for contraband, intoxication, inappropriate conduct, or rule violations.

You can usually reach people in custody by phone calls, video visits, electronic messaging, or on-site kiosks—but exact options vary by facility. Confirm what Marion-Walthall Regional CI offers before relying on any one method. Most systems require you to register with the facility's approved communications vendor (or create a recipient account) before calls, video, or messages will go through. You'll likely need to add funds or set up a payment method through a vendor portal, kiosk, or another approved channel. If video visits or messaging sessions require scheduling, follow the facility's rules and expect changes during lockdowns or other operational shifts. Assume all calls and electronic communications are monitored and recorded. If you don't receive an approval notice, call the facility or MDOC Central Office to check your status.

For state-level help with an inmate inquiry tied to Marion-Walthall Regional Correctional Institution, start with the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) central office: 301 North Lamar Street, Jackson, MS 39201, phone 601-359-5600. Direct facility phone numbers and local office hours can change, so check Marion County resources or the facility's page first for the most current details. MDOC's central listings work well for statewide contacts, while county sheriff, detention, or clerk pages often have fresher local phone numbers and email options. Can't find a working local number? Call the MDOC central office and ask to be routed to the right office. For emergencies or a crime in progress, call 911.

MDOC has temporarily suspended the Friends and Family Guide for Marion-Walthall Regional CI while updating information. With the guide unavailable, verify current procedures directly with the facility before planning a visit, transfer, or sending items. If you've submitted a visitation application, know that applicants aren't automatically notified of approval—call the facility to confirm your status. When you arrive, expect screening: staff may search you, your vehicle, personal property, or anything in your possession. Processing may take place at a visitation center and can include walking through a body scanner. Don't bring over-the-counter medications or other contraband, and follow MDOC and facility rules to protect your visitation privileges.
