Reynolds County Jail Overview
Reynolds County Jail is operated by the Reynolds County Sheriff's Office. The jail is a county jail, not a Missouri Department of Corrections prison. It is tied to the sheriff and courthouse contact point in Centerville and serves the local arrest and short-hold function for Reynolds County. People held there may include new arrestees, defendants awaiting first appearance or bond, people held on local warrants, short local commitments, and people accepted on another agency's hold while transport or court action is pending.
The research did not locate a separate official detention-division page, jail administrator listing, housing-unit description, bed rating, daily population dashboard, work-release annex, or municipal jail page for Reynolds County. That absence shapes the correct search method. The Reynolds County Jail record path is phone-and-counter heavy, with formal records requests under Missouri Sunshine Law when a phone inquiry is not enough. Once a person is sentenced to state prison, the Reynolds County Jail is no longer the current custody source.
The Missouri DPS Reynolds County contact page lists the sheriff's office contact point used for jail inquiries.
That source supports the address and main phone line used for Reynolds County Jail custody and records questions.
Reynolds County Jail Population
Current Reynolds County Jail population detail was not published in the official sources reviewed. No current jail census, average daily population, annual admissions count, demographic breakdown, pretrial share, sentenced share, or current housing count was found. The only local facility count found is historical: Prisoners of the Census lists Reynolds County Jail with 9 people confined as a local facility on 12/31/2013. That number should be read as a dated confined-person count, not as current population or rated capacity.
| Population Item | Research Finding |
|---|---|
| Rated capacity | No official capacity source located. |
| Current count | No current jail dashboard or online roster count located. |
| Historic confined count | 9 people confined on 12/31/2013 in Prisoners of the Census data. |
| Demographic detail | No official local breakdown located for sex, race, age, charge level, or pretrial status. |
Lookup Reynolds County Jail Custody
No official Reynolds County Jail online roster was found. A local custody lookup should begin with the sheriff's office by phone. If the jail cannot release enough information by phone, the next step is to request the open arrest or booking record from the sheriff under Missouri Chapter 610. Court charges should be checked through Case.net. If the person has been sentenced, transferred, or held by another agency, use the matching state, federal, or immigration system rather than the county jail.
- Call Reynolds County Sheriff's Office at 573-648-2491 and ask whether the person is currently held at Reynolds County Jail.
- Provide the full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and any court or booking number available.
- Ask whether the person has a bond, warrant, detainer, DOC hold, federal hold, ICE hold, or transfer status.
- Search Missouri Case.net for filed charges, bond orders, hearing dates, and docket entries.
- Use MODOC Offender Search, BOP Inmate Locator, or ICE ODLS if custody is no longer local.
Search limit: Reynolds County Jail was not found to publish a live official roster, so third-party roster pages should not be treated as the sheriff's record.
Reynolds County Jail Contact
The jail contact point is the Reynolds County Sheriff's Office address listed by Missouri DPS. The Missouri Association of Counties also lists a sheriff mailing address and county office-hour context. Because no jail-specific lobby, bond, or visitation page was found, call before traveling or mailing anything. County office hours should not be assumed to be jail visiting hours or after-hours bond hours.

Visiting Reynolds County Jail
Reynolds County Jail visitation rules were not found in official sheriff or county sources. No verified in-person schedule, video visitation vendor, approved visitor-list rule, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit procedure, or same-day cancellation notice was located. The safe instruction is to call the jail before travel and ask what visit type is available, whether the visitor must be listed by the inmate, what ID is required, and whether a recent arrest or classification status blocks visits.
| Visit Item | Published Status | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| In-person days | Not published in official sources found | Call 573-648-2491 before travel. |
| Visiting hours | Not published | Do not assume county office hours are jail visit hours. |
| Video visits | No verified vendor located | Ask whether remote or on-site video exists. |
| Visitor approval | Not published | Ask whether visitors must be on an inmate list. |
| ID and dress code | Not published | Bring government photo ID and ask about clothing rules. |
Mail and Money Rules
Official Reynolds County Jail mail, phone, tablet, commissary, and deposit rules were not located. No verified online money vendor, kiosk provider, commissary ordering page, inmate phone provider, scanned-mail vendor, or mail format was found. Families should not copy rules from another Missouri jail. Confirm the current format with jail staff before sending mail, money, books, medicine, property, or release clothing.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address format | Not published. Confirm whether to use the street address, P.O. Box, inmate name, and any booking number. |
| Phone or video provider | No verified provider located in official sources. |
| Commissary deposits | No official kiosk, online, phone, or walk-in deposit vendor located. |
| Books or magazines | Rules not published. Ask whether publisher-only shipping or other limits apply. |
| Legal mail | Mark clearly and follow jail instructions after confirming the mailing format. |
Note: Confirm custody first because money, mail, or property sent after release or transfer may be delayed or rejected.
Reynolds County Jail Booking
A Reynolds County arrest may begin with a sheriff deputy, Ellington officer, MSHP trooper, or another officer. If the person is brought to Reynolds County Jail, booking can include identity checks, warrant checks, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photograph, medical screening, classification, and entry of charge or hold information. The county did not publish a timing rule for when a booking record becomes available because no official online roster was found.
Missouri law adds two important limits. Under RSMo 221.040, a sheriff or jailer can require medical examination before receiving a person who appears unconscious, seriously ill, seriously injured, or seriously impaired. Under RSMo 544.170, a warrantless arrestee must generally be released within twenty-four hours unless charged and held by warrant, with a right to reasonable consultation with counsel or a representative.
Court and Transfer Pathways
Reynolds County Jail custody and Reynolds County court records are related but separate. The jail record starts with arrest and booking. The court record starts when charges are filed or a warrant or case is entered. Case.net may show bond orders, scheduled hearings, docket entries, warrants, dispositions, and judgments after court processing. For more on filed charges, use the Reynolds County court records after jail arrest page.
Transfers change the search path. A state prison sentence moves custody to MODOC. Federal prosecution or sentence points to BOP or U.S. Marshals channels, and an immigration detainer may require ICE ODLS after transfer or detention. A local sheriff phone call may reveal that the person is no longer held at Reynolds County Jail, but the reason for transfer should be verified in the matching court, DOC, BOP, or ICE record.
| If Status Mentions | Next Search |
|---|---|
| Filed charge, bond, hearing, warrant | Missouri Case.net or circuit clerk-recorder |
| DOC sentence, parole, probation | MODOC Offender Search |
| Federal hold or federal sentence | BOP Inmate Locator or federal court channels |
| ICE detainer or immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System |
