How the Jasper County Inmate Search Works
The roster at the top of this page serves as the Jasper County inmate search tool and is synced directly from official booking data. Available records may include an inmate’s full name, charges, warrant or case number, set bond amount, arresting agency, arrest date and time, and release date and time.
The roster reflects custody and booking information rather than the complete history of a criminal case. Confirm current custody, bond, and release details with the Jasper County Detention Center before making payment or travel arrangements.
The jail roster is not a court docket. Missouri Case.net is a court-case information system and does not determine whether a person is currently held at the Jasper County Detention Center.
Posting Bond at Jasper County Jail
The court sets the bond amount, bond type, and release conditions. Before paying, call the detention center at (417) 358-8177 to confirm the person’s full name, current custody status, case number, bond amount, and accepted bond type.
Bond may be paid through the following methods:
- Online through GovPay.Net
- By calling GovPay.Net at 1-877-392-2455
- In person through the Warrants Division at the jail
GovPay.Net accepts credit and debit cards. A mandatory 9% transaction fee applies to credit or debit card bond payments made through the service.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Inmate account deposits may be made through JailATM.com or by calling JailATM at 1-866-933-6386. Deposits are also available through the “Jail-Commissary” option on the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office website.
A lobby kiosk that accepts cash or credit cards is located inside the Jasper County Detention Center at 405 East 5th Street in Carthage.
Money orders may be mailed to the inmate at the detention center’s mailing address and must be labeled “commissary.” The inmate must sign a form granting Jasper County power of attorney to endorse the money order for deposit.
Inmates must have sufficient funds in their trust accounts to make commissary purchases. Purchases are subject to available stock and disciplinary restrictions.
Commissary deposits are separate from City Tele Coin phone accounts and GovPay.Net bond payments.

City Tele Coin provides inmate telephone service at the Jasper County Detention Center. Family members and friends may create an account through City Tele Coin or call 1-318-746-1114 for account assistance.
