Noxubee Work Center Overview
Noxubee County Community Work Center is an MDOC Community Work Center at 212 Industrial Park Road in Macon, Mississippi. The official MDOC facility page lists the telephone number as 662-726-2375, fax as 662-726-2374, and Major Alfred Short as the listed facility leader. Its presence in Noxubee County can confuse readers because the county jail is nearby and also associated with Industrial Park Road. The custody system is different. This facility serves Mississippi Department of Corrections purposes and should be treated as state custody.
The work center is not a booking site for new arrests by the Noxubee County Sheriff's Office, Macon police, Brooksville, Shuqualak, or state officers, and it is not operated by Sheriff Tedrick Liddell. A newly arrested person normally starts with county jail or court channels, while a person sentenced into MDOC may later be assigned to a work center, state prison, regional facility, or another corrections unit. MDOC classification and housing decisions control placement. The MDOC FAQ cited in the research says classification after evaluations can take from two weeks to 45 days, so a person may not show a stable long-term housing assignment right away after transfer.
Noxubee Work Center Lookup
The correct public search tool for Noxubee County Community Work Center is the MDOC inmate search. MDOC states that users can search by name or by MDOC ID number. The legacy MS.gov search page also shows a name mode and an ID-number mode, with fields for last name, first name, and MDOC ID Number. This locator is for sentenced MDOC custody. It is not a county jail roster and should not be used to confirm a fresh Noxubee County arrest.
Search results and inspected MDOC sample records can show the person's name, MDOC ID, tentative release, race, sex, date of birth, height, weight, entry date, current location, unit or zone, location-change date, number of sentences, total sentence length, offense title, county of conviction, and sentence date. Some MDOC details pages include a photo area and victim-services links. Those records are state prisoner profiles. They are different from county booking sheets, county jail mugshots, or court docket entries.
- Open the MDOC inmate search page and choose a name search or MDOC ID search.
- Enter the last name and first name, or use the MDOC ID number if it is known.
- Review the result for current location and confirm whether it lists Noxubee County Community Work Center.
- Open the detail page to review sentence, offense, release, and location fields that MDOC makes public.
- If the person is not listed, check whether they are still in county custody, on parole, federal custody, or not yet entered into MDOC records.
Noxubee Work Center Contact
Use MDOC contact information for this facility, not Noxubee County Sheriff's Office jail lines. The facility page published by MDOC gives a direct phone and fax for Noxubee County Community Work Center. For sentence records, time credit, and eligibility questions beyond local facility routing, the research also identified MDOC Records in Jackson, with P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, phone 601-933-2889, and MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us. Families should separate facility contact questions from state record questions.

MDOC Search Fields
The MDOC locator has a narrow search design. It does not work like a county booking calendar or daily jail roster. A name search may require enough spelling accuracy to separate common names, while an MDOC ID search is usually the cleanest route when the identifier is known. If a family member has only an arrest date from Noxubee County, first confirm whether the person has actually been sentenced and transferred to MDOC before assuming the work center is the housing location.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Optional if using MDOC ID | Use with last name for a name search. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional if using MDOC ID | Needed for the standard name search. |
| MDOC ID Number | Text | Optional if using name | Can be used instead of name fields. |
| Search Criteria | Mode | As shown by legacy page | Legacy MS.gov page shows Name and ID Number modes. |
The MDOC inmate search screenshot in the image manifest shows the state locator fields used for state custody lookups.
That search form is the central public tool for confirming whether a sentenced state inmate is assigned to the Noxubee work center or another MDOC location.
Noxubee Work Center Visits
Visitation for Noxubee County Community Work Center follows MDOC family and friends rules rather than county jail rules. MDOC says visitation is a privilege, not a right, and can be revoked for rule violations or suspended because of conditions inside or outside facilities. The research did not provide a facility-specific day-by-day schedule for this work center, so the schedule table should not list invented visit hours. Call the facility and check current MDOC guidance before travel, especially if staffing, security, weather, health measures, or facility operations change.
| Visit Issue | MDOC-Based Rule | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | MDOC visitation rules apply and visits can be restricted | Whether the visitor is approved and the inmate is eligible |
| Schedule | No work-center schedule was provided in the research | Exact day, time, and check-in process |
| Identification | Government ID should be expected | Minor visitor, guardian, and documentation rules |
| Suspensions | MDOC may suspend visitation for security or operational reasons | Current status before leaving for Macon |
Note: Call Noxubee County Community Work Center before travel because MDOC can change or suspend visits for operational reasons.
Noxubee Work Center Mail
Mail and money rules for Noxubee County Community Work Center come from MDOC, not the county sheriff. The MDOC mail page says incoming and outgoing mail may be searched. MDOC also states that original paper and envelopes are not delivered to inmates because of contraband concerns. Mail may be censored or rejected for contraband, criminal plans, weapons, drugs, alcohol, extortion, coded content, or rule-violating activity. Use the inmate's full legal name and MDOC ID as directed by current MDOC mail instructions.
For funds, the MDOC money page identifies Premier.Services for online inmate-banking transfers and Western Union agent locations for in-person payments. The research did not provide a special Noxubee County Community Work Center deposit fee table, so no page should invent a facility-specific fee. Confirm the inmate's MDOC ID and current location before sending funds, because placement can change during classification, transfer, discipline, or release processing.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Follow current MDOC mail format; include inmate name and MDOC ID as required. |
| Phone / Messaging | MDOC phone provider support lists 877-650-4249 for new accounts and 800-483-8314 for automated prepaid service. |
| Money Deposit | MDOC lists Premier.Services online and Western Union agent locations. |
Noxubee Work Center Phone
The MDOC phone page describes phone, text, and messaging services for inmates in state-operated and private facilities. It lists 877-650-4249 for new phone accounts and 800-483-8314 for automated prepaid account, payment, and balance service. MDOC also warns that some regional county prisons are locally operated and may use different companies. Noxubee County Community Work Center is listed as an MDOC facility, but families should still verify current account setup with MDOC or the work center before paying any third-party provider.
- MDOC ID
- The state inmate number used for search, money, mail, and many records questions.
- Classification
- The MDOC evaluation and placement process used after a person enters state custody.
- Community Work Center
- An MDOC setting for eligible state inmates in work programming, separate from county pretrial jail custody.
- Tentative release
- A state release field that may change after sentence, credit, or record review.
Noxubee Work Center Population
The MDOC facility page cited in the research did not list a capacity number for Noxubee County Community Work Center. MDOC daily population reports may group community work centers as a statewide category, but the research did not provide a sourced current capacity or population count for this specific facility. Avoid describing the work center as having a specific bed count unless MDOC publishes one in a current facility record or population report.
Noxubee County jail population figures are also not a count of the work center population. The Vera jail dataset applies to local jail history, while MDOC placement records apply to sentenced state inmates. Keep those sources separate when comparing Noxubee County's local custody system with state corrections facilities physically located in the county.
Noxubee Work Center Intake
Intake for this work center is not street-arrest booking. It is MDOC placement after a person has entered state corrections custody. A Noxubee County arrest may begin at the county jail, move through Justice Court, Municipal Court, or Circuit Court, and only later become a state sentence. After that, MDOC receives the person, evaluates records and needs, classifies custody level, and assigns housing. The research states that MDOC classification after evaluations can take two weeks to 45 days.
The state record may lag behind family expectations during transfer and classification. A person can leave Noxubee County Jail and not immediately appear at the work center. The MDOC locator, VINE/SAVIN notifications, and MDOC Records are the proper state channels for placement, release, and sentence questions. For booking charges or bond before sentencing, use the county jail and court channels instead.
Noxubee Work Center Source
The official MDOC page for Noxubee County Community Work Center is directly relevant to this facility's location, phone, fax, and status as a Community Work Center.
The MDOC source should control over county jail pages or third-party jail directories when the question is state custody at this work center.
Noxubee Work Center Notifications
Mississippi VINE and SAVIN can help with custody notifications when a person is in county or state offender systems that feed status updates. The research says the MDOC VINE page describes notifications for transfers, return custody, escape or abscond, and release from custody. Registration can be done online or by phone. MDOC lists the Office of MS SAVIN at 601-359-5759 during business hours and 1-888-9-MSSAVIN for 24-hour assistance.
VINE is a notice tool, not a substitute for the MDOC locator or facility contact. It can help when a family member wants alerts, but current housing, sentence fields, and MDOC ID details still come from MDOC records. For county jail custody before sentencing, start with the sheriff or jail. For Noxubee County Community Work Center, start with the state locator and facility phone.
About Noxubee Work Center
Noxubee County Community Work Center is part of MDOC's statewide corrections network and is listed among community work centers and other state facilities. MDOC materials provide broader program context for state inmates, including treatment, education, job training, adult education, vocational education, and post-secondary education efforts. The research also notes that Pell Grant eligibility was reinstated for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people on July 1, 2023, and that MDOC was seeking college and university Prison Education Program partners. Those are state-custody program references, not Noxubee County Jail programs.
Note: Confirm MDOC housing, visit approval, mail format, and money rules before contacting a vendor or traveling.
