Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail Overview

Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail is the primary detention facility serving Gentry County custody questions. The official jail site places the facility at 102 N. Meadows Lane, Pattonsburg, Missouri 64670, and lists the main phone as 660-367-2200. The facility is operated by the Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail District, not by the Gentry County Sheriff's Office. That distinction matters because arrest paperwork, incident reports, and local law-enforcement records may stay with Gentry County, while jail housing, commissary, mail, phone, and visit questions go through the regional jail.

The jail holds sentenced and non-sentenced detainees for participating jurisdictions. For Gentry County, the public custody path is fragmented: a local arrest may start with the Gentry County Sheriff's Office or a city police agency, physical jail custody is checked through Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail, filed charges are checked in Missouri Case.net, and prison sentences are checked through the Missouri Department of Corrections. DDCRJ's corrections page describes care, custody, and control duties for detainees charged to the custody of the sheriff, while its resources page links the official detainee search and VINE notification tools.

The DDCRJ home page is the best starting point for facility identity, address, and published capacity. The corrections page adds staffing and custody detail, and the FAQ page explains practical rules for calls, mail, medicine, money, release calls, and court-date limits.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Capacity

DDCRJ publishes capacity but does not publish a daily Gentry County inmate count. Official DDCRJ pages describe the facility as a 160-prisoner or 160-detainee jail. A Daviess County Sheriff's Office jail page says the regional jail houses up to 200 inmates, which appears to be an alternate capacity statement rather than a current population figure. The research did not locate an official daily average population, current headcount, or Gentry-only booking count for the regional facility.

Look Up Daviess/DeKalb Jail Inmates

The official lookup route starts with the DDCRJ resources page, which labels its custody link "DETAINEE SEARCH" and sends users to the Public Safety Cloud/JailTracker roster for Daviess_DeKalb_MO. The roster is a web app. Text inspection showed a shell that may display "Roster Loading..." or an app error when scripts fail, so the phone fallback is not a last resort. It is a normal part of the Gentry County inmate search chain.

1. Open the DDCRJ resources page and use the detainee search link for current regional jail custody.
2. Search by last name and add a first name when there may be more than one match.
3. Check whether the record is a current DDCRJ custody record, a released record, or a filtered search result if those options appear.
4. Call DDCRJ at 660-367-2200 if the roster does not load or if the person may have been booked too recently to appear.
5. Use the Missouri DOC Offender Web Search after a prison sentence or DOC supervision begins.

Roster fields can include first, middle, and last name, original book date and time, release date if enabled, booking or jacket identifiers, charge descriptions, case or warrant numbers, bond type and amount, hold details, and arresting agency. The platform also has image fields, but the research did not capture a rendered DDCRJ profile proving that public mugshots are visible for this agency.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Contact

Use the jail contact line for present custody, visit scheduling questions, mail and money rules, medication delivery, phone access, and release-day logistics. Use the Gentry County Sheriff's Office for arrest reports, incident reports, and local agency records. The jail FAQ says court dates and times are not given out by DDCRJ, so court dates should be checked with Case.net, the Gentry County Circuit Clerk, or the county of interest.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Visits

DDCRJ visitation is video conferencing by appointment through NCIC or the linked vendor. The jail's visitation page says there are no plans to return to in-house visitation except as needed for legal representation. Visits are a privilege, and the facility can revoke or interrupt a visit for rule violations or security needs. If staff cannot facilitate a scheduled visit because of security conditions, visitors are told to reschedule through the vendor.

The official page did not publish a day-by-day public visiting calendar in the research. That means family members should treat the vendor appointment system as the schedule source and confirm before travel. Legal visits are handled differently because attorney access may require in-house contact.

Daviess/DeKalb Mail and Money

DDCRJ's FAQ gives unusually specific rules for mail, property, money, medicine, and phone access. Money can be brought to the jail or mailed as a money order. Cash should not be mailed, and two-party checks are not accepted. The jail tells senders to include the prisoner's name and date of birth. Credit-card deposits can be made at the jail or through the vendor linked from the FAQ, but no separate public fee schedule was located.

All prisoners have access to a phone. Calls are outgoing collect calls unless the prisoner buys a calling card from commissary. Family members may purchase phone time through the linked vendor. Commissary is described by the jail as a want rather than a need, and kiosks allow detainees to buy food and hygiene items, communicate with administration, and request services such as medical care.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Medical Care

Medical information belongs on the facility page because it often matters before a family member sends medication or starts calling several offices. DDCRJ's FAQ says nursing staff are available seven days a week, a facility doctor is present weekly, and an on-call doctor is available around the clock. Prescription medications may be sent or dropped off only when the prescription is unopened, current, valid for that prisoner, and approved by the facility physician for narcotic medication.

Food service is also documented. The food-services page says the jail provides a 2,400 to 2,500 calorie diet and lists a current meal cost of $6.80 per detainee per day. Allergy substitutions require physician documentation. Emergency self-pay dental extractions are discussed in the FAQ, while broader reentry, GED, religious-service, or work-release schedules were not located in the official pages reviewed.

Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail History

The jail's history is central to the Gentry County custody map. DDCRJ describes itself as the first regional jail of its kind in Missouri. Local discussions about a shared jail had taken place for about a decade before 2000 legislation allowed a jail district sales tax. In May 2005, the Daviess and DeKalb county commissions voted to form the district, voters approved a half-cent sales tax in November 2005, and collections began in April 2006.

The district purchased the former Midwest Security Housing private facility in Pattonsburg, including vehicles and ten acres, for $3.5 million. The renamed Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail opened February 15, 2006. The DDCRJ history page says the jail received funds from renting bed space to other agencies and that about four counties and four municipalities were housing detainees there at the time of that history. The bond was paid off in 2014, two years early, with more than $100,000 in estimated interest savings.

The DDCRJ history screenshot documents the regional formation and opening details used for this facility background.

The history explains why a Gentry County inmate search often points outside Gentry County lines to Pattonsburg.
