Daviess/DeKalb Jail Overview

The Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail is the official regional jail serving DeKalb County local custody. It is in Pattonsburg and is operated by the Daviess-DeKalb County Regional Jail District, not as a small DeKalb-only lockup in Maysville. Research from the jail site and the Daviess County Sheriff's Office describes the district as a rare regional jail arrangement governed by a board that includes the Daviess and DeKalb presiding commissioners and sheriffs. That structure matters for inmate lookup because the public roster can include people held for Daviess County, DeKalb County, other counties, and municipalities.

The jail houses sentenced and non-sentenced local detainees. A DeKalb County arrest may appear beside arrests from other agencies, so the Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail inmate roster should not be read as a DeKalb-only population count. The jail's own site lists Director Dawn Ely, Captain Dustin White, and Administrative Assistant Haley Dilley, while Sheriff Kasey Keesaman and the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office remain the local law-enforcement office for sheriff arrest reports and county law-enforcement questions.

The facility's resources page links the detainee search, VINE, the Missouri sex offender registry, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and missing-children resources. Those links show how the regional jail separates current jail custody from court records, state prison custody, and statewide public-safety tools.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Capacity

The strongest local capacity figure is the jail-published number. The DDCRJ homepage and Corrections Division page state that the jail is designed for 160 prisoners. The Daviess County Sheriff's jail page gives a secondary statement that the facility houses up to 200 inmates, but the 160-bed DDCRJ figure should control because it comes from the facility's own pages. The current roster count is also more limited than a population report. During research on June 19, 2026, the JailTracker endpoint returned 74 current offender entries after captcha validation. That is a dated roster snapshot only.

Because the jail serves more than one county, the 74-entry snapshot cannot be converted into a DeKalb County jail population figure. A person can be held for a DeKalb County case, a Daviess County case, a municipal matter, or another agency. The roster is still the right first stop for current custody, but county-specific population analysis needs a county-of-charge report that DDCRJ did not publish in the reviewed sources.

Lookup Daviess/DeKalb Jail Inmates

The official DeKalb County local jail lookup path is the DDCRJ link labeled DETAINEE SEARCH, which opens the Daviess/DeKalb JailTracker roster. JailTracker is a vendor app, so it may require JavaScript, a current browser, and captcha validation before current detainee rows or detail records load. The roster is for current regional jail custody. It is not the Missouri DOC prison locator and it is not a court case search.

1. Start at the official DDCRJ Resources page and choose DETAINEE SEARCH.
2. Allow the JailTracker page to load, then complete the captcha if the portal asks for one.
3. Search by first and last name when a specific person is needed, especially with common surnames.
4. Open the matching profile and compare name, booking date, arresting agency, charges, bond, status, and location fields.
5. If the person is missing, call DDCRJ at 660-367-2200, then check Missouri DOC, MOVANS/VINELink, BOP, or ICE if another custody system may apply.

The lookup result can show booking dates, release fields, age, physical description, arresting agency, charge descriptions, bond amounts, classification, and jail location when those fields are populated. The research sample included an image field, but the inspected public record did not show a visible mugshot. For booking photos, use the roster first and then the records-custodian route described under Missouri Sunshine Law.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Contact

The regional jail's main phone line is the practical custody line for current roster, release, bond, visit, phone, mail, and money questions. The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office should be used for sheriff arrest-report questions, local warrant questions, and agency records matters. Missouri Sunshine Law requests should go to the public body that created or keeps the record, so a jail booking record and a sheriff arrest report may have different custodians.

The jail is just off Interstate 35 at exit 78. DDCRJ directions say northbound travelers from Kansas City should exit at Highway C, turn left, and use the 4th Street entrance. Southbound travelers from Des Moines should exit at Highway C, turn right, and use the same 4th Street entrance. DDCRJ did not publish visitor parking rates, transit details, or a named accessible entrance in the reviewed pages, so visitors should call before travel if parking, mobility access, or lobby entry rules matter.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Visits

General visits at Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail use video conferencing. The DDCRJ visitation page says the jail has no plan to return to in-house visitation beyond visits necessary for legal representation. Appointments are made through NCIC, and the facility can revoke visiting privileges. DDCRJ also warns that security needs may prevent staff from facilitating a scheduled visit, so visitors must return to the vendor site if a video appointment needs to be rescheduled.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Mail

Mail, phone, and money rules come from the jail's FAQ and service pages. Money may be brought to the jail or mailed, but mailed funds must be a money order with the prisoner's name and date of birth included. Cash is not accepted by mail, and two-party checks are not accepted. Credit card deposits can be made at the jail or through the linked JailATM/vendor route. The jail describes commissary as a want rather than a need, and inmates use kiosks in living quarters for commissary, administrative messages, and medical-service requests.

The jail also publishes practical medical and food information. Detainees request medical services through kiosks, LPN nursing staff are present seven days a week, the facility doctor comes weekly, and an on-call doctor is available at all times. The food-services page states that meals provide a 2400-2500 calorie diet and cost $6.80 per detainee per day.

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Booking

A DeKalb County jail booking usually begins with an arrest or commitment by a competent authority, followed by transport to DDCRJ. Missouri law requires sheriffs and jailers to receive people apprehended for state offenses or committed by a competent authority. DDCRJ's transportation page describes marked jail vehicles, restraints, seat belts, escort, and paperwork for prisoner movement. Once at the facility, JailTracker creates the booking record with the arrest number, booking date, name fields, arresting agency, officer data, charge rows, bond fields, classification, and housing location when populated.

Booking is not the same as a court conviction. A jail charge is custody information tied to the arrest or hold. Formal court charges can be changed by the prosecutor, amended in court, dismissed, or replaced by a different filing. For court records after a DeKalb County jail arrest, use Missouri Case.net or the DeKalb County Circuit Clerk. For state prison custody after sentencing, use the Missouri DOC locator instead of the DDCRJ roster.

About Daviess/DeKalb Jail

The regional jail has a distinctive local history. DDCRJ's history page says Daviess and DeKalb county commissions formed the jail district in May 2005 after state law made regional jail funding workable through a voted sales tax. Voters approved a one-half-cent sales tax in November 2005, collections began in April 2006, and the district bought the former Midwest Security Housing facility, vehicles, and 10 acres for $3.5 million. DDCRJ opened under its current name on February 15, 2006, and the history page says the bond debt was paid off in 2014 after refinancing.

The jail's duties extend beyond housing. DDCRJ provides court-security officers for Daviess and DeKalb county courthouse law days, including metal detector operation, handheld wand searches, bag checks, courtroom checks, perimeter checks, and common-area checks. For families, that means the same regional jail district may appear in both custody and courthouse settings, even though the jail roster and court case file are separate records.
