Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Laclede County Detention Center
Members of the public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters usually list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. After an arrest, staff must complete booking, identification, and record entry before the person appears in the system. This can take several hours, so a newly booked inmate may not be searchable right away. If the person does not appear, check again later or contact the facility for current custody information.
