How the Cape Girardeau County Inmate Search Works

The roster at the top of this page serves as the Cape Girardeau County inmate search. It is synced directly from official booking data and provides current-inmate and recent-release information.

Roster fields include name, booking number, booking date, age, charges, and bond amount. Release time is available on the released-inmate view.

Users can switch between Current Inmates, 48 Hour Release, and Held Elsewhere. Records may be sorted alphabetically by name or by booking date in ascending or descending order. The 48 Hour Release view lists people released within the previous 48 hours, while Held Elsewhere identifies certain detainees housed outside the county facility.

Some charges may appear as decimal codes that refer to Missouri Revised Statutes. Federal contract detainees may appear under "999999 - HOUSED FOR US MARSHAL SERVICE."

The online roster is provided as a public convenience and is not the Sheriff's Office's official record. Call the jail before relying on the roster to make decisions involving custody, charges, case numbers, bond, transfers, or release.

The jail roster is an administrative custody record, not a court docket. Missouri Case.net is a separate court-record system and does not track real-time physical custody status.

The court determines the bond amount, bond type, and release conditions. Before attempting payment, confirm the person's full name, current custody status, case number, bond amount, and accepted bond type.

Call the jail at (573) 243-3551 to confirm accepted bond payment methods and where the bond must be posted before traveling to the facility or courthouse.
