Holmes-Humphreys Facility Overview
Holmes-Humphreys County/Regional Correctional Facility is listed by the Mississippi Department of Corrections as a regional facility. It is located in Lexington, in Holmes County, not at the Humphreys County sheriff's Belzoni office. The regional name still matters for Humphreys County searches because the facility is part of the local and regional custody map, and a person connected to Humphreys County may be housed or tracked there depending on current custody status.
MDOC lists the facility as "Holmes/Humphreys County Correctional Facility" and identifies Barry Rule as warden. Holmes County's official regional facility page lists Willie March as sheriff, Barry Rule as warden, Juanita Mitchell as deputy warden, and Ada Dorsey as compliance monitor. The same Holmes County page describes accreditation history and programs, which gives this regional facility a more detailed official web profile than the Humphreys County Jail page in Belzoni.
The MDOC Holmes/Humphreys facility listing is the official state correctional listing for the regional facility.
That MDOC listing supports the regional-facility label, but it does not replace a call to the local facility when visit rules, mail handling, housing, or release status must be confirmed.
Holmes-Humphreys Facility Population Notes
No official current rated capacity, current population count, average daily population, or county-by-county housing breakdown was located for Holmes-Humphreys County/Regional Correctional Facility. MDOC and Holmes County pages confirm the facility identity, location, contact line, leadership, accreditation history, and programs, but the pages checked in June 2026 did not publish a current population dashboard or capacity figure.
That gap is important for Humphreys County inmate population questions. A regional facility can hold state or regional inmates without posting a county-facing roster that shows which people came from Humphreys County. Holmes-Humphreys serves regional correctional operations and may be relevant after transfer, but the current housing of any named person must be verified with the facility or through MDOC.
Holmes-Humphreys Inmate Lookup
Holmes-Humphreys County/Regional Correctional Facility lookup has two main channels. First, call the facility when the person may be housed there under local or regional operations. Second, search MDOC when the person is a sentenced Mississippi inmate or has moved into state correctional tracking. A Humphreys County local jail inquiry remains separate and should start with the sheriff in Belzoni for fresh arrests.
- Call Holmes-Humphreys County/Regional Correctional Facility and ask whether the person is currently housed there.
- Use full legal name, date of birth, and any MDOC number or booking detail available.
- Search the MDOC inmate search by first name, last name, or MDOC ID Number if the person may be in sentenced state custody.
- Confirm that any MDOC result shows the correct facility, status, and identity before relying on it.
- Use Mississippi SAVIN/VINE if notification of transfer, return custody, escape, abscond, or release is needed.
| MDOC Search Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Optional | Use with last name when MDOC ID is not known |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Use exact spelling when possible |
| MDOC ID Number | Text | Optional | Most precise if available |
| Search | Button | Not applicable | Runs the statewide sentenced-custody query |
Holmes-Humphreys Facility Contact
Use the Lexington facility contact for housing, visit approval, mail rules, program access, and direct facility questions. The official MDOC page lists the facility address and telephone. Holmes County's official regional facility page confirms the office line and adds a fax number. Because it is a regional facility, a person searching from Humphreys County should avoid assuming that the Belzoni jail counter can confirm every regional detail.

The facility is not the same public counter as Humphreys County Jail. A fresh arrest in Humphreys County usually starts with the sheriff in Belzoni, while Holmes-Humphreys may become relevant after a transfer, regional housing decision, or MDOC status change. For current custody, the named facility where the person is housed is the office that should confirm rules.
Holmes-Humphreys Visitation Rules
MDOC cautions that regional facilities are locally operated and may have different policies. That caveat controls the Holmes-Humphreys visitation discussion. MDOC's statewide visitor rules explain the type of screening a prison visitor may face, but the regional facility should be contacted for the active schedule, approval process, dress rules, visit type, and any suspension or local restriction.
| Visit Topic | Published Finding | Required Confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | Regional schedule not published in official sources located | Call 662-834-5016 |
| Visitor approval | MDOC has approval rules, but regional facilities may differ | Ask the facility how approval works |
| Visitor ID | MDOC requires picture ID for adult visitors | Confirm local requirements before travel |
| Search and screening | MDOC says visitors may be searched or scanned | Ask what screening applies locally |
| Video visits | No official regional provider located | Ask whether video visits are offered |
The MDOC family and friends visitation page gives statewide context and expressly warns that regional facility policies may differ.
Use that MDOC page as a cautionary source, then confirm the actual Holmes-Humphreys schedule and eligibility rules with the Lexington facility.
Holmes-Humphreys Mail and Money
Mail, phone, and money rules at Holmes-Humphreys County/Regional Correctional Facility must be verified with the facility because MDOC says regional county prisons may not follow every statewide provider or process. MDOC's general mail page says incoming mail for MDOC custody should include the inmate name and MDOC number, current housing unit, institution or facility name and address, city, state, ZIP, and sender return address. It also says incoming mail may be photocopied and that prohibited items can be rejected.
| Service | Published Detail | Regional Caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use inmate name, MDOC number if applicable, facility name, and full facility address | Confirm format before mailing |
| Phone / Video | MDOC uses ConnectNetwork/ViaPath for state/private facilities | Regional county prisons may not use that provider |
| Money Deposit | MDOC lists Premier.Services online and Western Union agent options | Ask Holmes-Humphreys which deposit routes apply |
| Fees | No regional fee schedule located | Do not assume a fee or vendor without facility confirmation |
Do not send cash, personal checks, packages, hardback books, food, hygiene items, or other property unless facility staff says the item is allowed. State rules and regional rules can diverge. The inmate may also transfer, which can change the correct mail address and money process before a letter or deposit clears.
Holmes-Humphreys Records Access
Records access depends on what kind of record is being requested. Housing confirmation, visit status, and local facility procedure should start with Holmes-Humphreys County/Regional Correctional Facility. Sentenced-time records, jail credit, eligibility dates, and MDOC offender records should go through MDOC. MDOC's public-records page says public-records requests must be in writing and are not accepted by telephone.
For a written MDOC request, include the inmate name, MDOC number if known, date range, exact records requested, and contact information. For a local facility request, identify the person, the approximate date housed, the requested record type, and the preferred delivery method. Mississippi public-records law permits exemptions and redactions, so ask for non-exempt portions if part of a record is withheld.
Holmes-Humphreys Facility Intake
Holmes-Humphreys County/Regional Correctional Facility should not be described as the booking desk for every Humphreys County street arrest. Fresh local arrests generally begin with the Humphreys County Sheriff's Department or another local agency. The regional facility becomes relevant when a person is housed through regional correctional operations, transferred after local custody review, or appears in MDOC tracking.
Classification at a regional facility means staff review identity, legal status, custody needs, medical concerns, housing risks, program access, and release or transfer instructions. A detainer means another agency has a hold or notification request. Those details may not be visible in a simple public search result, so facility confirmation is still needed when a family member plans a visit, sends mail, or tries to learn whether release is blocked by another hold.
About Holmes-Humphreys Facility
The Holmes County regional facility page gives the strongest local program and accreditation detail for Holmes-Humphreys County/Regional Correctional Facility.
Holmes County lists ACA accreditation on May 5, 2002, with re-accreditations dated April 24, 2005, August 11, 2008, and January 28, 2013. The programs listed include GED, Adult Basic Education, Alcohol and Drug, Life Skills, Vocational Classes, and Religious Services. Those details belong to the regional facility. They should not be applied to the Humphreys County Jail in Belzoni unless a separate official source confirms them there.
The regional facility's role also explains why lookup language must be precise. A person arrested in Humphreys County may start with local jail records, then later appear in MDOC or regional tracking. Conversely, a person listed by MDOC at Holmes-Humphreys is not necessarily sitting at the Belzoni sheriff counter. Current location, visit permission, and mail rules should always be confirmed with the office holding the person.
Note: Confirm custody, visits, mail format, and deposit rules with Holmes-Humphreys before taking action.
