How the Jackson County Inmate Search Works

The roster at the top of this page serves as the Jackson County inmate search and is synced directly from official booking data. It may display selected inmate population information and inmate photographs.

Roster information can change rapidly and may not reflect a person's current or complete status. Roster data and photographs are not official arrest records, and people charged with offenses are presumed innocent unless convicted. Confirm custody, transfer, bond, or release information with the detention center before taking action.

People held at the Regional Correctional Center for Kansas City municipal ordinance violations are excluded from this roster. The Jackson County Detention Center does not perform booking functions or maintain official arrest or law-enforcement booking records. Requests for those records must be directed to the arresting law-enforcement agency.

The jail roster is not a court docket. Missouri Case.net is a separate Missouri court-record system.

Sending Money to an Inmate

A deposit kiosk is located in the detention center visitation lobby at 1300 Cherry Street. It accepts cash and credit cards during visitation-lobby hours. Kiosk deposits are posted immediately, a 7% vendor fee applies, and $1 bills are not accepted. Online and telephone card deposits are subject to vendor transaction fees.

Commissary orders may be placed once per week. Weekly limits are $60 for food items and $60 for non-food items. The inmate's account must contain the full required balance before an order is placed.

Jackson County Court Information

Criminal divisions formerly located at 1315 Locust Street have relocated to the Jackson County Public Safety Campus. The official hearing notice, summons, docket entry, or court order controls the date, time, location, division, judge, and appearance format.

Missouri Case.net may provide public information about state felony cases, misdemeanors, traffic infractions, civil cases, probate matters, and family-law proceedings. Available information may include case status, scheduled hearings, division assignments, WebEx hearing links, financial histories involving court costs and fines, and docket entries.

Public court calendars are available through the "Scheduled Hearings & Trials" section of Missouri Case.net and the "Court Calendar" section of the 16th Judicial Circuit website. Sealed criminal records, adoption records, and juvenile filings are not available through the public online system.

Remote hearings are conducted primarily through Cisco WebEx and may be accessed through a browser, mobile application, or the toll-free telephone number 844-487-0491. Individual divisions may publish separate teleconference numbers. Defendants held in custody appear remotely from the detention facility.
