This is a privately run reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person from jail, post bond, or pull official booking paperwork. For any of those things, you need to reach the agency that actually holds the record. The contacts on this page point you to the right Jackson County and state offices so you can ask them directly.
Reaching the Right Office for an Inmate or Record
Jackson County does not publish a verified public inmate roster online, so most custody questions are answered by phone or through a records request. The fastest channel for a current local detainee is the jail itself. The sheriff's administrative office and the county records desk handle separate matters, so the three address blocks below are listed by what each one actually does. Pick the office that matches your question before you call or write.
Jackson County Correctional Facility
For custody, booking, and intake questions about someone held in the county jail.
2737 Penn AvenueMarianna, FL 32448
Phone: (850) 482-9651
Booking: extension 218
Classification: extension 228
Front desk: extension 210
Fax: (850) 482-9428
There is no verified public online roster for this jail, so booking and housing status are confirmed by phone or by a public-records request.
Jackson County Sheriff's Office (Administrative)
For general sheriff's office business that is not a direct jail-custody question.
Sheriff Donald L. EdenfieldP.O. Box 919
Marianna, FL 32447-0919
Phone: (850) 482-9624
Fax: (850) 482-9017
The sheriff is a separately elected Florida constitutional officer. For a person in the jail, the correctional facility number above is the stronger line.
Jackson County Public-Records Requests
For a formal request to inspect or copy nonexempt booking or jail records.

Under Florida law an email address you send to a public office becomes a public record, so call or write if you would rather keep yours private.
If you are not sure which system holds the person you are looking for, the list below sorts the most common needs and points each one to the right place. County jail custody, state prison, and federal or immigration detention are three different systems, and a person can move between them.
- Someone booked into the county jail: start with jail inmate records for how to look up a current local detainee.
- A booking photo: see jail roster mugshots for what is and is not public and how to ask for one.
- The charges filed after an arrest: see court records after a jail arrest for the court case path.
- A specific facility: use the detention facility pages listed in the footer for that site's contact, visitation, and lookup details.
- A sentenced state prisoner: search the statewide Florida Department of Corrections offender locator, which covers felons sentenced to state prison, not county jail inmates.
- A federal or immigration detainee: use the federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
