The Tupelo/Lee Co. Adult Jail can house approximately 200 prisoners. We hold prisoners for not only our department but for Tupelo and all other municipalities within our county. The jail, which was completed in 1997, offers many services to the prisoners who are housed here. The inmates have access to a library, educational classes, alcohol/drug dependency classes and a courtyard for recreational time.

Facility Maintenance
Jail Ministry
The inmate Jail Ministry is constructed to assist inmates with spiritual needs. It is made up of lay persons who meet strict requirements. They must go through a training program that equips them with the rules and regulations of the jail and also covers basic security needs. This is a very important program to our detention center. For more information on this service contact Capt. Bryan Hall at 662-841-9739.
