How the Benton County Inmate Search Works
The roster at the top of this page serves as the Benton County inmate search and is synced directly from official booking data. Users can search by name, select “Show All,” review current inmates, sort records by date, or open the “48 Hour Release” section to view people released within the previous 48 hours.
Roster entries may include a booking number, age, booking date, charges, applicable RSMo statute references, and bond amount or type.
The roster is an administrative custody information service provided for public convenience. It is not represented as an official or certified legal record, and its accuracy is not guaranteed. Verify important charge, bond, custody, transfer, or release information with the Benton County Detention Facility before acting on it.
The jail roster and Missouri Case.net serve different purposes. The roster displays booking and custody information, while Case.net provides public court case information.
Posting Bond at Benton County Jail
The court determines the bond amount, bond type, and release conditions. A bond amount or type may appear on the Benton County inmate roster, but the information should be verified before payment is attempted.
Call the jail at (660) 438-6135 before traveling to the facility or courthouse. Confirm the person’s full name, current custody status, case number, bond amount, accepted bond type, payment method, and the location where the bond must be posted.
