Corinth, Mississippi, in Alcorn County, has about 14,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). In Mississippi the public criminal record is the court file, kept by the Circuit Clerk for criminal and civil cases and the Chancery Clerk for divorces, estates and land records; the statewide criminal history kept by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety Criminal Information Center is released only to its subject and to the employers and agencies the law allows. This guide says where each record of a criminal case from Corinth is kept and how it is seen.
This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, the prosecutor, sex offender registry, records requests and common questions.

The Mississippi Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Mississippi does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety Criminal Information Center goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court file in the Alcorn County Circuit Court is the public record.
To see your own record, the route is a fingerprint-based request to the Criminal Information Center. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at dps.ms.gov/investigation/criminal-information-center/Release-Backgr....
