Visitation

Visitation at Tishomingo County Jail is a privilege, not a right — break the rules and you could lose access. Check the jail's current policy before making the trip. Getting approved usually starts with a visitor application or visitor information form (often provided through the person in custody). Fill it out and return it so the jail can run a background check and add you to the approved list. When you arrive, expect to register, show a valid government-issued photo ID, and sign the visitor log. You may also go through a scanner or be searched. Some facilities offer on-site kiosk visits, at-home video visits, or both — confirm what's available before you plan.

To contact Tishomingo County Jail directly, use the Tishomingo County Sheriff's Office street address, phone, or fax. For staying in touch with someone inside, options often include phone calls, video visits, electronic messaging, or on-site kiosks — though availability varies. You'll likely need to register with the jail's approved communications provider and create an account before placing calls, scheduling video visits, or sending messages.

Mail & Letters

Getting mail through to someone at Tishomingo County Jail means following the rules carefully. All incoming correspondence gets checked for contraband and security issues — staff may censor, photocopy, digitize, or return anything that violates policy. Put the inmate's full name plus any required ID or housing information on the envelope, and include your complete return address. Keep it simple: use blue or black ink for handwritten letters, black for typed pages. Skip the stickers, colored paper, glitter, and decorative inserts. Photo and publication rules vary. Many facilities limit photos to non-explicit images and require paperbacks to ship directly from a publisher or approved vendor. Confirm current policies before mailing anything.
