About This Private Resource
We are not a government office and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, pull an official record, change a booking entry, or give legal advice. Messages about the operation of this private resource can be sent through its normal contact channel. For an official record, use the agency that created or holds it.
Lamar Sheriff and Jail Records
Use the Sheriff for a written booking-record request, a photo request where legally disclosable, or a question about which county office holds a record. The county lists Sheriff Danny Rigel and regular weekday office hours.
205 Main Street, Suite B
Purvis, MS 39475
Office: 601-794-1005
Weekdays: 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Jail custody/status: 601-794-1088
The Sheriff does not publish a dedicated booking-photo request form or fee schedule in the reviewed county pages. Send a specific written request with the name, date range, arresting agency, and booking number if known. Ask for electronic delivery, an itemized cost estimate, and the reason for any withholding.
Court and Dispatch Routing
Use Lamar Justice Court for many misdemeanors, initial appearances, and early felony matters. The Circuit Clerk maintains criminal case records. Central E-9-1-1 dispatch is for an incident or safety-related non-emergency, not routine records research.

Hattiesburg Police cases often route to Forrest County custody and Hattiesburg Municipal Court. Confirm the arresting agency and location before contacting Lamar offices.
Records Requests and Corrections
Mississippi’s Public Records Act provides the written request process. A public body should respond, deny, clarify, or explain a delay within seven working days, subject to the statute’s terms. A court disposition, seal, or expunction order belongs with the relevant court. A private third-party page must be addressed through that operator’s own current process after the source record is corrected.
