Choose the office by the type of question, because the jail roster, court docket, prosecutor file, DOC locator, and federal systems do different jobs.

  • For a current county jail custody lookup, start with jail inmate records or call the sheriff's 24-hour number at 573-775-2125.
  • For a booking photo or roster photo issue, use jail roster mugshots and the sheriff's records custodian if the online roster is not enough.
  • For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, Missouri Case.net, and the Crawford County Circuit Clerk.
  • For jail facility basics, use the Crawford County Detention Center page listed in the footer.
  • For a sentenced Missouri prisoner or supervised offender, use the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search, not the county roster.
  • For a federal sentenced prisoner or immigration detainee, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
