The Daviess County Inmate Population
The hard local numbers for Daviess County inmate population work come from the Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail, not from a normal single-county sheriff jail report. The Daviess County Sheriff's Office jail page makes a key point for local searches: the jail is in Daviess County and serves Daviess detainees, but it is a separate regional jail district. The sheriff's office handles law enforcement, records, warrants, and other sheriff functions from Gallatin. Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail handles custody, booking, visitation, mail, money, and day-to-day jail questions from Pattonsburg.
That split affects every Daviess County inmate search. A new arrest may be made by the sheriff, a city police department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, or another agency, but the local jail booking points to DDCRJ. A court case may later appear in Missouri Case.net. A sentence to prison sends the person into Missouri Department of Corrections records. Federal or immigration custody uses a different locator. The Daviess County inmate population is best read as a custody path, not one static list.
The sheriff's jail page is a useful source because it points Daviess County readers to DDCRJ for custody questions. The screenshot from the Daviess County Sheriff's Office jail page shows that routing choice directly.
For search accuracy, use that same division of work: sheriff records for sheriff files, and DDCRJ records for jail custody.
Daviess County Inmate Population Statistics
Official local research located capacity, staffing, and facility-history figures, but not a public average daily population dashboard. The DDCRJ homepage and Corrections page describe a jail designed for 160 prisoners or beds. The sheriff's jail page uses different wording and says the facility houses up to 200 inmates. Those two numbers should not be merged into one figure. The stronger reading is that the jail's own site gives a design capacity, while the sheriff's office gives a practical housing description for readers.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| DDCRJ design capacity | 160 prisoners or beds | DDCRJ homepage and Corrections page, inspected June 2026 |
| Sheriff's stated housing limit | Up to 200 inmates | Daviess County Sheriff's jail page, inspected June 2026 |
| Custody staff | 31 custody staff | DDCRJ Corrections page, inspected June 2026 |
| Facilities in Daviess County map | One regional jail | Facility Map and official source review |
| Current ADP | Not located in official local sources | Research review, June 2026 |
Daviess County Inmate Population Trends
Trend reporting for the Daviess County inmate population is limited because DDCRJ publishes capacity and operations details, not a dated local daily-count archive. The local trend that is well documented is structural. Daviess and DeKalb counties formed a regional jail district, bought an existing private facility near Pattonsburg, and opened DDCRJ as a regional jail in 2006. That choice still shapes the count because the jail can hold Daviess County, DeKalb County, and contract detainees from other agencies.
The state context should stay separate from Daviess County counts. Vera Institute research cited in the project file reports that Missouri's jail population increased 295 percent since 1970 and 55 percent since 2000, with pretrial detainees making up 79 percent of Missouri's jail population in 2015. Those are Missouri-level figures. They help explain why a roster matters, but they should not be converted into a Daviess County average daily population.
| Year or Date | Population or Capacity Figure | Note |
|---|---|---|
| February 15, 2006 | Facility opened | DDCRJ opened after the district bought Midwest Security Housing |
| Current DDCRJ site text | 160-bed capacity | Jail site capacity wording |
| Current sheriff jail page | Up to 200 inmates | Sheriff's operational wording |
| June 2026 review | No ADP table located | Use the roster for current person-level custody |
Who Makes Up the Daviess County Inmate Population
The DDCRJ population is not limited to one arresting agency. The facility holds sentenced and non-sentenced detainees charged to sheriff custody, and the history page says other counties and municipalities have rented beds there. That means a person found in the DDCRJ roster may be connected to Daviess County, DeKalb County, a municipal case, or another contract agency. The arresting agency and court fields matter before assuming that a booking is tied to a Daviess County case.
Official local sources did not publish aggregate demographic tables by sex, race, age, charge level, or pretrial status. Person-level roster fields can show parts of a record, such as charge, bond, facility, court, holds, and release date. They are not the same as a public demographic report. For a current count, the roster is the working tool. For an older booking, a written Sunshine request to the record custodian is the more reliable path.
- Pretrial detainee
- A person held after arrest while the case is pending and before final judgment.
- Sentenced local prisoner
- A person serving a jail sentence or held locally before transfer.
- Hold or detainer
- A claim from another court or agency that can block release even when local bond is posted.
- DOC offender
- A person supervised by the Missouri Department of Corrections after prison, parole, probation, or conditional release status applies.
Daviess County Jail Capacity
DDCRJ's capacity reporting should be handled with care. The jail's own public pages use the 160-bed design figure. The sheriff's site says the jail houses up to 200 inmates. No official overcrowding order, consent decree, current jail-death notice, or new construction project was located in the reviewed county, sheriff, or DDCRJ sources. That absence is not proof that capacity pressure never occurs. It only means no official local source in the research set documented such a finding.
The jail's public operations details are more concrete. DDCRJ lists a custody staff structure, video visitation, medical care through Advanced Correctional Healthcare, kiosks for detainee requests, and food service standards. It also performs court-security work for Daviess and DeKalb court days. Those duties make the regional jail more than a roster address. It is the local custody hub and a courthouse security partner.
Laws for Daviess County Inmate Records
Missouri public-records law controls many Daviess County inmate records, but it does not make every jail detail public. The Missouri Attorney General Sunshine Law page explains the role of records custodians and written requests. A DDCRJ booking record, a sheriff incident report, a court file, a DOC offender record, and a federal custody record can all have different custodians. That is why the request should identify the person, date, agency, and record type as clearly as possible.
Key Statutes:
RSMo 610.011 states Missouri's public-records policy and says exceptions are read narrowly.
RSMo 610.023 requires each public governmental body to have a records custodian and respond to requests.
RSMo 610.100 defines arrest and incident records and explains open and closed law-enforcement records.
RSMo 221.120 covers necessary medical and dental care for sick county-jail prisoners.
Missouri DPS death-in-custody reporting covers quarterly reporting duties to federal authorities.
Daviess County and State Prison Search
No Missouri Department of Corrections prison was identified inside Daviess County. After sentencing, though, a Daviess defendant may move from DDCRJ to state custody. The Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search covers active offenders, including probationers and parolees, and it searches names including aliases. The research file noted that the locator displayed offender data current as of June 18, 2026 at 9:00 p.m. when inspected.
MODOC search is not a substitute for the Daviess County jail roster. It excludes discharged offenders and may omit some records for safety, security, or confidentiality reasons. Local arrest, bond, and booking questions stay with DDCRJ and the court. State sentence, parole, probation, and correctional-center questions move to MODOC.
Search the Daviess County Inmate Population
The official online path starts at the DDCRJ Resources page, then opens the Detainee Search link. The public roster is a Public Safety Cloud or JailTracker-style app. It requires a modern browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly enabled. Text inspection showed a roster shell and app fields, but it did not render a live profile in the research pass. That matters because the build should not claim that a specific current inmate, mugshot, or charge appeared.
The roster can support name search, captcha, agency options, current or released controls, booking numbers, facility fields, charges, bond, court dates, holds, warrants, release data, and VINE identifiers. A Daviess County inmate lookup should still be verified against the facility when timing matters. New bookings may not appear at once.
- Open the DDCRJ Resources page and choose Detainee Search.
- Use a current browser and complete the captcha if the roster asks for one.
- Search by last name, then add the first name when the name is common.
- Check facility, arresting agency, charge, bond, hold, warrant, and court fields before drawing conclusions.
- If no result appears, call DDCRJ, check Case.net, and search MODOC, BOP, or ICE when another custody system may apply.
The DDCRJ Resources page also links custody-adjacent tools, including detainee search, VINE, and sex-offender resources. The screenshot from the DDCRJ Resources page shows why that page is the best official starting point.
Use the roster from the jail's own resources rather than a commercial inmate-search copy.
Current Daviess County Inmate Lookup
Current Daviess County inmate lookup records can be broader than a simple name and charge line. The app field inventory includes booking numbers, original book date and time, release date and time, charge descriptions, case and warrant numbers, arresting agency, bond amount and type, holds, court fields, and VINE data. Because DDCRJ is regional, facility and agency fields are important. A DDCRJ result does not prove that every charge or court case is a Daviess County case.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Likely required for name search | The app exposes last-name search fields, with no wildcard rule visible in text fetch. |
| First Name | Text | Optional or narrowing | Useful when a last name returns too many matches. |
| Search Type | Option/control | Unspecified | The app exposes current and released controls, but live labels were not visible in text fetch. |
| Captcha | Image/text | Yes when required | Captcha fields are present in the roster app structure. |
| Agency | Dropdown/option | Unspecified | Agency fields help distinguish Daviess, DeKalb, and other held populations. |
| Profile key | Hidden/internal | System | Used by the app to open a single offender profile. |
Past Daviess County Inmate Records
A released person may not stay visible in the public roster forever. The research found current and released controls in the roster app structure, but it did not confirm a public archive rule for older DDCRJ bookings. For past Daviess County inmate records, start with the roster if the live app offers a released filter. Then ask DDCRJ about booking records and booking photos. If the arrest was handled by the sheriff's office, ask the sheriff's records custodian about incident or arrest records.
The sheriff's fee page lists report-copy fees: $5 up to 10 pages, $10 for 11 to 20 pages, and $5 more for each added 10 pages. DVDs are $5, and fingerprints are $10. Those fees apply to sheriff records listed by that office, not every DDCRJ or court document. A written request should name the person, date, arresting agency, booking date if known, and the exact record sought.
Daviess County Inmate Record Fields
A DDCRJ inmate record is an intake and custody record. It can help locate the person and show the jail status, but it is not the same as the final court record. Charges can be amended or declined after prosecutor review. Bond can change after a judge acts. A hold from another agency can keep a person in custody after a local bond is addressed.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and image | Name fields and image support exist in the roster app, though public photo display may vary. |
| Booking and jacket numbers | Internal jail identifiers used to track the custody file. |
| Facility | The jail or facility field, important for a regional jail with more than one agency. |
| Book and release dates | Original booking time and final release time when the record includes one. |
| Charges and court fields | Charge descriptions, court names, dates, case numbers, and related fields if configured. |
| Bond and holds | Bond amount, bond type, hold reason, hold dates, and other release limits. |
Daviess County Jail vs State Prison
The common search mistake is using one locator for every custody type. DDCRJ is the Daviess County jail population source for local booking and regional jail custody. MODOC is the state correctional source after a person is sentenced or supervised by the state. BOP is for sentenced federal inmates from 1982 forward. ICE ODLS is for qualifying immigration custody. A person can move between these systems as a case changes.
| Question | DDCRJ County/Regional Jail | Missouri DOC |
|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Pretrial detainees, local sentenced prisoners, and contract detainees | State prisoners, parolees, probationers, and active supervised offenders |
| Best search tool | DDCRJ detainee search from the Resources page | MODOC Offender Search |
| What it may show | Booking, charge, bond, court, hold, and release fields | State offender status and supervising correctional system |
| What it misses | Discharged state custody and federal or ICE records | Fresh county bookings and local jail-only records |
Daviess County Federal Inmate Search
No BOP prison, ICE detention center, or separate federal detention center was identified in Daviess County. Federal sentenced inmates are searched through the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. BOP search can use register number, DCDC number, FBI number, INS number, or name fields. BOP results may show name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location, but release dates can change.
Federal pretrial custody in the area is tied to the U.S. Marshals Western District of Missouri, which includes Daviess County. Immigration custody uses the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. ICE search is not a mugshot source, and it does not replace DDCRJ for local bookings. VINELink is a victim-notification channel, not a full jail record archive, but DDCRJ links VINE resources for custody notice needs.
Daviess County Detention Facilities
The facility map found one detention facility in Daviess County: Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail. No separate city jail, Missouri DOC prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility was identified inside the county from official sources. Smaller city police departments should be treated as arresting or short-term holding agencies unless an official source later documents a separate municipal jail.
- Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail - the regional jail in Pattonsburg that holds Daviess County and DeKalb County detainees, sentenced and non-sentenced local prisoners, and some contract detainees.
Daviess County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Daviess County inmate population?
The current public local sources do not publish an average daily population table. DDCRJ publishes a 160-bed design capacity, while the sheriff's jail page says the facility houses up to 200 inmates. Use those figures as capacity references, not as a live head count.
How do I search Daviess County inmates?
Start with the DDCRJ Resources page and open Detainee Search. Search by last name, add a first name when needed, and review agency, facility, bond, charge, hold, and court fields. If the roster does not return a result, call DDCRJ and check court, state, federal, or ICE systems as needed.
Is the jail run by the Daviess County sheriff?
No. The sheriff's office says DDCRJ is located in Daviess County and serves Daviess detainees, but it is its own entity. The sheriff remains the source for sheriff records, warrants, civil process, and law-enforcement questions.
Where are court charges after an arrest?
Formal filed charges are checked through Missouri Case.net after the prosecutor files a case. The jail roster may show booking charges first, but court records show filed charges, hearings, docket entries, judgments, and dispositions.
Does the roster show mugshots?
The roster software supports image fields, but the research did not confirm that every public DDCRJ profile shows a photo. If no image appears, ask DDCRJ how to request a booking photo or booking record under Missouri records procedures.
