St. Louis County Jail Roster Overview
St. Louis County jail custody is handled by the St. Louis County Department of Justice Services. The department is responsible for the management, operation and security of the St. Louis County Jail / Justice Center. The facility contact in the research is 100 South Central, Clayton, MO 63105, phone 314-615-5245, and email JSocial@stlouiscountymo.gov. The County Police jail information page routes users to Justice Services for inmate information and Justice Center inquiries.
The public search path is the St. Louis inmate locator. It lets users search active inmates or people released in the past 72 hours. The locator warns that information is informational, changes quickly, does not imply guilt or innocence, and should not be used for legal action. For final case disposition, the locator directs users to Case.net and St. Louis Municipal Court where applicable.
How to Use the St. Louis County Inmate Roster
Use the St. Louis inmate locator for current local custody and recent release searches. The research notes that searching without a first or last name lists all inmates, which is useful when the spelling is uncertain.
- Open the inmate locator and choose either Active Inmates or Released in the past 72 hours.
- Enter a last name and first name to narrow the search, or leave both name fields blank to list all inmates.
- Open the matching profile and compare the name, year of birth, sex, race, facility and arrest date.
- Review the charge table for case number, next court date, status, bond amount and bond type.
- Use Case.net or the correct municipal court to verify disposition because the roster is not the final court record.
Roster Search Fields
The locator uses a small field set. The important choice is whether the search should cover current custody or recent releases.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | No | Leave blank with first name blank to list all inmates. |
| First Name | Text | No | Narrows common last names. |
| Active Inmates | Radio option | No | Searches people currently shown in custody. |
| Released in the past 72 hours | Radio option | No | Searches recent release records in the same locator. |
| Search | Button | Yes | Runs the selected custody or release search. |
What an Inmate Profile Shows
An inmate profile is a custody record. It may include a photo when available or a placeholder stating that the inmate photo is not available. It also includes identifying and custody fields, plus a charge table that can help connect custody to a court case.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot or photo placeholder | Actual image when available, or an "Inmate Photo Not Available" type placeholder. |
| Name | Last, first and middle initial as shown in the locator. |
| Year of birth | Birth year, not a full date of birth in the sample. |
| Race and sex | Basic profile descriptors shown by the jail system. |
| Facility | The facility connected to the current custody profile. |
| Arrest date/time | The booking or arrest timing shown in the locator. |
| Release date/time | The release timing if the profile is in recent-release results. |
| Charge table | Charge, Case #, Next Court Date, Status, Bond Amount and Bond Type. |
St. Louis County Justice Services Contact
The official jail contact in the research is the Department of Justice Services, not a standalone sheriff jail roster office. The County Police jail information page lists police non-emergency at 636-529-8210 and headquarters at 7900 Forsyth Blvd, Clayton, MO 63105, but it routes jail and inmate questions to Justice Services.

Booking, Bond and Court-Date Fields
The locator can show custody details before the court docket is complete. A profile charge table can include a case number, next court date, status, bond amount and bond type. Bond information in the research includes a municipal bond phone of 314-622-3231 with a St. Louis Municipal Court link and a state bond phone of 314-641-8214 with a Case.net link. The correct bond channel depends on whether the case is municipal, state circuit, or another court's matter.
Use the case number from the jail table to check Case.net or the relevant municipal court. If a person was arrested on a warrant, also check the warrant docket and ask the issuing clerk whether the warrant is active, recalled, quashed or pending status update. Custody status, bond status and court disposition are connected but not identical records.
County Jail, Missouri DOC and Federal Custody
The St. Louis inmate locator covers county pretrial or local custody and recent release information. It does not replace the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search for state prison or state supervision, and it does not replace the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for federal custody. If a St. Louis County case resulted in a state sentence, the person may move out of county jail records and into DOC records. If the arrest or prosecution is federal, the county roster may not be the controlling custody source.
Visitation Hours and Rules
An official Justice Services visiting-information page exists, but the accessible research did not show a current schedule. Do not assume a day, hour, video platform, ID rule, dress code or child-visitor rule without checking the official page or calling Justice Services. The resident handbook snippet says the facility is managed under a Direct Supervision concept, but the visible research does not provide a publishable visitor schedule.
| Visitation Item | Research Status | Best Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Official visiting page | Located | Check the Justice Services visiting-information page before visiting. |
| Schedule | Not visible in accessible official text | Call 314-615-5245 or verify on the official page. |
| Attorney visits | Not located in visible official text | Confirm directly with Justice Services or counsel. |
| ID, dress code and children | Not located in visible official text | Confirm current rules before travel. |
How to Contact an Inmate
Mail and phone rules are separate from the jail roster. The resident handbook snippet states incoming mail should be addressed to St. Louis County Jail, P.O. Box 21227, Tampa, FL 33622, and that delivery mail will be delivered electronically. That points to scanned or electronic delivery handling, so confirm current mail rules before sending items that might be rejected.
The official inmate phone usage page identifies inmate calling resources.
Phone access is handled outside the public roster, so roster search results should be paired with the phone-provider information before setting up calls.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Inmate funds in the research are routed through Access Corrections. The money table identifies Access Corrections online deposits at accesscorrections.com, Access Secure Deposits by phone at 866-345-1884, and the county cash-account page as the official county resource. The research does not provide deposit fees, deposit limits or a schedule, so those details should be checked with Access Corrections or Justice Services before sending money.
The Access Corrections site is the deposit channel identified in the jail research.
Because commissary services are vendor-operated, a deposit confirmation does not change the court case, bond status or inmate custody status shown in the roster.
Inmate Phone Provider
The phone-usage research identifies Securus Technologies at www.securustech.net and customer service at 1-800-844-6591. Phone account setup, funding and customer-service issues should be handled through Securus or the county phone-usage page. The research did not locate an official St. Louis County Sheriff or Justice Services app with an inmate or warrant lookup, so do not rely on third-party app claims for custody records.
The Securus Technologies site is the provider source listed for inmate phone service.
Use Securus for phone-account issues, and use Justice Services or the locator for custody questions.
Records Requests and Redactions
Booking records not shown online may require a Justice Services or county public-record request, subject to redaction. The public locator sample does not show Social Security numbers or full dates of birth, and it does not provide a full case disposition. Redactions can also affect minors, medical details, victim information, protected addresses and other confidential material. When a custody profile is incomplete, use the case number, name and date fields to ask the correct records custodian for the specific record.
