Jail docket; require sheriff to include certain information about incarcerated persons awaiting trial in.
SB 2118 requires Mississippi county sheriffs to include specific details about people awaiting trial in their jail dockets, such as full name, age, race, sex, arresting agency, charges, bond amount, and indictment date. Sheriffs must submit this updated monthly docket to county boards of supervisors via the chancery clerk before each board meeting. The bill directly affects county sheriffs (who must collect and submit the data) and county boards (who must review the dockets). It aims to standardize and increase transparency in pretrial detention records.
