Forrest County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, accept or post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the government office that created or holds the record for an official answer.
Official Record Contacts
For current adult county custody, booking questions, and detention information, contact the Forrest County Adult Detention Center. Its official current-custody route is the Sheriff’s inmate-roster page, which links to the current JailTracker portal.

For a booking, detention, bond, release, report, or other county record, use the Sheriff’s public-records request page. FCSO directs requesters to submit a specific written request on its form by email, mail, fax, or hand delivery. The office may provide an estimate, request clarification, arrange inspection, or explain a withholding under the applicable rules.
- For current adult custody, begin with the official roster and verify a result by date, booking number, agency, and facility.
- For a very recent booking not shown on the roster, call the booking line because intake and public display are separate steps.
- For a released person or a record not visible in current custody, use the written FCSO records route.
- For a city incident report, contact the arresting police department, which may hold a different record from the county detention file.
Other Custody Systems
A sentenced Mississippi state prisoner is outside the county roster system. Use the Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate search for state-prison custody and its official request information for MDOC records. The Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator covers federal inmates and does not function as a Forrest County booking list. The official ICE Online Detainee Locator is for current or recent immigration custody searches and uses its own required identifying details.
