Lookup Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail Inmates

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Overview

Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail is operated by the Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail District, not by the Daviess County Sheriff's Office as a normal county-jail division. The sheriff's jail page describes the facility as its own entity, governed through a board involving the Daviess and DeKalb presiding commissioners and sheriffs. That distinction matters because inmate roster questions, video visitation, phone calls, money, mail, and booking confirmation go to the regional jail, while sheriff incident reports, warrants, and sheriff records remain with the law-enforcement office in Gallatin.

The facility holds sentenced and non-sentenced local detainees for Daviess County and DeKalb County, and it also houses prisoners for other counties and municipalities that rent bed space. A person arrested in Gallatin, Pattonsburg, Jamesport, Altamont, Coffey, Lock Springs, Winston, Jameson, or elsewhere in Daviess County may be booked into this Pattonsburg facility after the arresting agency completes transport. Current custody status should be checked against the regional jail roster, then against court and state systems if the person has moved to another form of custody.

The regional jail homepage shows the facility's basic role, capacity, address, and leadership.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Capacity

The jail publishes a 160-bed design capacity on its own homepage and corrections material. The Daviess County Sheriff's jail page uses a different operational phrase, saying the facility can house up to 200 inmates. Those figures should not be blended into one count. The first is the jail's own bed-capacity wording, while the second is the sheriff's public description of how many inmates the regional facility can house.

No official local average daily population table, annual booking count, or demographic breakdown was located in the research set. For a current person-level jail population check, use the DDCRJ detainee roster rather than a stale count. The regional jail roster is also important because the facility houses Daviess detainees, DeKalb detainees, and contract detainees from other agencies, so the arresting agency, court agency, and facility fields should be read before assuming a case belongs to Daviess County.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Roster Lookup

The official roster path runs from the DDCRJ Resources page to the Detainee Search link. The roster loads through a Public Safety Cloud/JailTracker-style application, so a browser must allow JavaScript and WebAssembly. The text capture showed the roster shell and app fields, but not a live public inmate profile. Treat the roster as the first search point, then use DDCRJ phone confirmation for urgent custody, release, bond, or transport questions.

1. Open the DDCRJ Resources page and choose the Detainee Search link rather than an unofficial roster copy.
2. Complete any captcha the live roster displays, then search by last name and add a first name for common names.
3. Check the facility, arresting agency, court, hold, and release fields before treating the record as a Daviess County case.
4. If no result appears, call DDCRJ, search Missouri Case.net for filed charges, and use Missouri DOC for sentenced state custody.

Roster records can include booking number, facility, original book date and time, release date when present, charges, bond amount and type, case number, warrant number, arresting agency, holds, and VINE-related fields. The roster software also supports images, but public display can depend on jail configuration and the person record. For a broader explanation of roster fields, the Daviess County jail inmate records page separates booking data from court and state custody records.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Contact

Use the regional jail contact line for inmate status, jail mail, video visitation, commissary, money deposits, release calls, and booking-record questions tied to DDCRJ custody. Use the Daviess County Sheriff's Office for sheriff reports, civil process, warrant or most-wanted questions, and arresting-agency records created by the sheriff. That split prevents lost time, since the sheriff's own jail page directs Daviess readers to DDCRJ for jail operations.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Visitation

Public visits at DDCRJ are video visits by appointment through NCIC. The jail says it has no plans to return to in-house public visitation except where legal representation requires in-person access. Visits are a privilege. Security needs can cause a scheduled visit to be moved or canceled, so families should confirm the appointment through the vendor and call the jail before travel when timing is critical.

The DDCRJ visitation page describes the video-only system and appointment rule.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Mail Money

DDCRJ's FAQ allows money to be brought or mailed, but mailed funds must be a money order with the prisoner's name and date of birth. Cash should not be mailed, and two-party checks are not accepted. Credit-card deposits may be made at the jail or through the JailATM/inmatecanteen link identified in the FAQ. Local vendor fees were not published in the official text reviewed, so the live vendor screen or jail staff should be used for current costs.

Mail and property rules are narrow. Allowable items include a money order, prescription glasses, two soft-backed books sent directly from a distributor, and one soft-back Bible sent directly from a distributor. Prescription medications must be current, unopened, and valid for the prisoner, with narcotics subject to facility physician approval. Extra property is placed in the prisoner's property, and mail for someone not at DDCRJ is returned.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Booking

Booking starts when a sheriff's deputy, city officer, Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper, or another agency transports the person to DDCRJ. Intake can include an authority check, identity record, search and contraband screen, property inventory, fingerprints or booking photo when required, medical and suicide screening, classification review, and entry of bond, hold, charge, court, and release data as the jail receives it. New bookings may not appear on the public roster at the same moment they enter custody.

The policy manual states that detainees use written request, grievance, and sick-call procedures to tell staff about needs or problems. Kiosks in housing areas support commissary, communication with administration, and medical requests. The FAQ says prisoners have phone access and may make outgoing collect calls or use calling cards, and newly released prisoners receive phone calls to arrange pickup when possible.

Classification

A jail review used to decide housing and security placement.

Hold or detainer

Another agency's custody claim that can delay release even when local bond is posted.

PR bond

A promise-to-appear release ordered by a court instead of a cash or surety bond.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Medical Care

Medical care is handled through Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc. The DDCRJ medical page lists nursing coverage seven days a week, a doctor at the facility once a week, and an on-call doctor available at all times. The jail also uses pharmacy bubble packs, a local pharmacy, and emergency dental extraction access. Missouri law at RSMo 221.120 requires jailers to procure necessary medicine, dental care, or medical attention for sick county-jail prisoners.

Food service is also documented more clearly than on many jail sites. DDCRJ reports a diet range of 2400 to 2500 calories and a food-service cost of $6.80 per detainee per day. The FAQ says food-allergy substitutions require physician documentation. These details are operational facts, not a public menu or health-record release. Medical records, private health details, and security-sensitive treatment information are not the same as public roster data.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail History

DDCRJ's history explains why Daviess County jail information looks different from a standard sheriff-run jail site. Area counties discussed a shared jail for roughly a decade before a funding mechanism became available. Daviess and DeKalb county commissions formed the jail district in 2005, voters approved a half-cent sales tax later that year, and the district purchased the former Midwest Security Housing facility in Pattonsburg. The jail opened as Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail in 2006.

The history page describes the facility as the first regional jail of its kind in Missouri. It also notes that the district bought the former private facility, land, and vehicles, then used sales-tax collections for bond debt and operations. Bond debt was reportedly paid off in 2014 after refinancing. The jail also provides court-security functions for Daviess and DeKalb courthouse days, including screening with metal detectors, wand checks, bag checks, and courtroom security support.

Note: Confirm roster status, visit appointments, and release timing with DDCRJ before travel or payment.
