Reynolds County Inmate Population
The Reynolds County inmate population is centered on the Reynolds County Jail in Centerville. The jail is operated by the Reynolds County Sheriff's Office and serves as the local custody point for people arrested by sheriff deputies, Ellington police, Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers, or other officers whose cases are handled locally. It is a county jail, not a Missouri prison. That matters because a county jail holds people before court, people waiting on bond, people serving short local commitments when accepted by the sheriff, and people held for transport or another agency when the jail takes the hold.
Official public sources for Reynolds County are sparse. Missouri DPS and the Missouri Association of Counties list sheriff and courthouse contacts, but no sheriff detention portal, daily population dashboard, current online roster, or booking report was located. The strongest local population figure in the research is historical: Prisoners of the Census lists Reynolds County Jail with 9 people confined as a local facility on 12/31/2013. That figure is a count on one date. It is not a rated bed capacity, an average daily population, or a current jail count.
Reynolds County Inmate Statistics
Reynolds County does not publish the sort of current inmate population report that larger Missouri counties often post. The research did not locate a sheriff dashboard, annual booking total, average length of stay, gender table, race table, charge-level table, or pretrial-versus-sentenced split for Reynolds County Jail. Those gaps should not be filled with guesses. A dated local count can be requested from the sheriff as a public record, and a current custody check should start by phone.
| Measure | Figure | Source and Date |
|---|---|---|
| Mapped Reynolds County detention facilities | 1 | Facility Map in county research |
| Reynolds County Jail rated capacity | Not located | No official sheriff or county capacity source found |
| Reynolds County Jail confined count | 9 | Prisoners of the Census Missouri table, 12/31/2013 |
| Current jail population | Not located | No current roster count or jail dashboard found |
| Average daily population | Not located | No official ADP source found |
| Annual bookings | Not located | No official annual booking report found |
The Prisoners of the Census Missouri correctional-population table is the source for the historic confined count used above.
The county directory is useful because it confirms the sheriff and courthouse contact path readers need when no public Reynolds County jail count is posted online.
Reynolds County Jail Trends
Trend analysis for the Reynolds County inmate population is limited by the lack of public local series data. The research found one facility-level historic count, but no official 2019, 2024, 2025, or 2026 Reynolds County Jail count in a current dashboard. Statewide sources such as Vera Institute and Prison Policy Initiative can describe Missouri jail and prison context, yet they should not be rewritten as Reynolds County facility numbers. The accurate local trend statement is narrower: the county jail appears to be a small rural jail, and current trend detail is not published in the reviewed official sources.
| Date or Year | Reynolds County Jail Count | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 12/31/2013 | 9 confined | Historic local facility count from Prisoners of the Census |
| 2019 | Not located | BJS Census of Jails exists, but no Reynolds figure was extracted in the research |
| 2024 to 2026 | Not located | No official current roster count or jail dashboard found |
Note: Ask the sheriff for a dated count if a current Reynolds County inmate population number is needed for court, reporting, or family planning.
Who Reynolds County Holds
The Reynolds County inmate population may include people booked after a local arrest, people waiting for a first appearance, defendants held because bond has not been posted, people held on a warrant, and people serving short commitments if the sheriff accepts them. A separate local work-release annex, municipal jail, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center was not documented inside Reynolds County. Once a defendant is sentenced to Missouri prison, that person leaves the county-jail search path and enters the Missouri Department of Corrections system.
- Pretrial custody: People booked after arrest while charges, bond, and first appearance are handled.
- Local sentence: Short local commitments may be held by the sheriff when accepted by the jail.
- Other-agency hold: A warrant, detainer, parole hold, federal hold, or ICE matter can change where to search.
- State prison: Sentenced prison custody is searched through MODOC, not the county jail.
Reynolds County Jail Laws
Missouri law explains why some Reynolds County inmate records can be requested even when no jail roster is published. The sheriff has the general statutory role over county jail custody, arrest reports and incident reports are open records under Missouri law, and public bodies must respond to records requests through a custodian. Some information can still be closed or redacted. Juvenile information, sealed cases, active investigative material, victim-identifying details, and safety-sensitive records may not be released in full.
Key Missouri statutes:
RSMo 221.020 gives sheriffs custody and charge of county jails and prisoners.
RSMo 610.100 defines arrest reports and makes arrest and incident reports open while allowing protected investigative material to remain closed.
RSMo 610.023 requires a public body to make records available through a custodian and act on requests within the statutory response period.
RSMo 610.026 controls allowable public-record copy and research fees.
The Missouri arrest-record statute is especially relevant to Reynolds County jail records because it is the public-access framework for arrest and detention information.
The statute screenshot supports the distinction between open arrest reports and investigative records that may remain closed or redacted.
Search Reynolds County Inmates
No official Reynolds County Jail online roster was located. That is the main search fact. A Reynolds County inmate lookup should use a fallback chain instead of unofficial roster pages. Start with the sheriff's office phone line, then check court records if charges may have been filed, then use state or federal locators if the person has moved out of local jail custody. VINELink may help with custody notifications where coverage is available.
- Call Reynolds County Sheriff's Office at 573-648-2491 and ask whether the person is in local custody.
- Ask whether the person was transferred, whether a booking number can be released, and whether bond or hold information is available by phone.
- Search Missouri Case.net for filed charges, hearings, bond orders, and docket entries.
- Search MODOC Offender Search if the person may be in state prison, probation, or parole supervision.
- Use VINELink, BOP Inmate Locator, or ICE ODLS when the custody level points outside the county jail.
- File a written Missouri Sunshine Law request with the sheriff if the public record is not available by phone or online.
Reynolds County Lookup Fields
Because no official Reynolds County roster search page was located, there are no county roster fields to render. The state and federal tools do have fields. MODOC requires a captcha and searches active offenders under Missouri Department of Corrections supervision. BOP has separate number and name searches. ICE ODLS uses A-Number plus country of birth or biographical fields. Each system covers a different custody group.
| System | Search Fields | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Reynolds County Jail | No official online fields found | Call or request open jail records |
| MODOC Offender Search | First name, last name, captcha | Active Missouri DOC offenders |
| BOP Inmate Locator | Register or other number, or name plus optional race, age, sex | Federal inmates from 1982 to present |
| ICE ODLS | A-Number and country, or biographical search | Immigration detainees |
The MODOC Offender Search is the correct tool after a Reynolds County defendant is sentenced into state custody.
MODOC is a statewide prison and supervision locator, so it should not be treated as a live Reynolds County Jail roster.
Reynolds County Inmate Records
A Reynolds County inmate record obtained by phone or public-record request may not contain every field a web roster would show. The sheriff can release only information that is open and available under Missouri law. Formal court charges must be checked in Case.net or with the circuit clerk. A booking charge can differ from the charge later filed by the prosecutor, and a court case may lag behind a recent arrest.
| Field to Request | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Name and date of birth | Helps staff distinguish people with similar names. |
| Arrest or booking date | Shows when county custody began. |
| Arresting agency | Identifies the sheriff, police, MSHP, or other agency involved. |
| Charge description | Reflects arrest or booking allegations, not always final court charges. |
| Bond or hold | Explains whether release is possible or blocked by another matter. |
| Release or transfer status | Shows whether the person is still local, released, or moved to another agency. |
County Jail vs Prison
Many Reynolds County inmate population searches fail because the wrong custody system is used. The county jail is the first place to check soon after a local arrest. MODOC is the next path after sentencing to state prison or supervision. BOP and ICE are separate systems that do not report county jail bookings. Court records sit beside these systems because they show filed charges and hearings, not necessarily current housing.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Common Records |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or short local custody | Reynolds County Sheriff's Office and Reynolds County Jail | Booking, bond, local hold, release or transfer |
| Missouri state prison or supervision | MODOC Offender Search | DOC ID, facility, supervision, sentence, release data when public |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Register number, age, race, sex, release date, location |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | A-Number or biographical detainee search result |
Reynolds County Detention Facility
Only one detention facility is mapped for Reynolds County in the research file. The Reynolds County Jail is the local jail facility connected to the sheriff's office in Centerville. No official regional jail, city jail, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility was documented inside the county. For facility-level details, the Reynolds County Jail page covers local lookup, contact, visiting, mail, money, and records-request gaps.
- Reynolds County Jail - local county jail for people arrested in Reynolds County, defendants waiting on court or bond, short local holds, and accepted holds for other agencies.
Reynolds County Court Records
After booking, the court side of a Reynolds County arrest runs through the prosecutor, circuit clerk, and Missouri Judiciary. Case.net can show filed charges, case numbers, scheduled hearings, bond entries, warrants, docket text, and judgments. It is not a jail roster. A person may be arrested before a court case is visible, and a court charge may differ from the arrest charge. The Reynolds County court records after jail arrest page explains that court path in more detail.
The Reynolds County Prosecuting Attorney is Brad VanZee in the research sources. The circuit clerk-recorder is listed by the Missouri Association of Counties at P.O. Box 39, Centerville, MO 63633-0039, with phone 573-648-2494 ext. 34. Those offices are relevant once charges or court-file copies are the issue. Current physical custody remains a sheriff and jail question until the person is released or transferred.
