Daviess/DeKalb Jail Release Destinations
A true community release may follow bond, recognizance, dismissal, time served, completion of a local sentence, or another authorized action. That outcome remains subject to any other hold. A sentence to the Missouri Department of Corrections ends the regional-jail stay but begins state imprisonment. Another county’s warrant, a federal writ, or an immigration detainer may cause an agency-to-agency handoff.
The final movement record should identify when jail control ended, the code or description, the authority, and any receiving agency. Do not assume an empty destination field proves release to the community. Pair the movement with the responsible court order or case disposition. If the record shows transfer to MDOC, the state offender system becomes the next source. Federal and immigration locators belong only to facts that support those custody paths.
| Departure from the jail | Where to verify next |
|---|---|
| Bond or court-ordered community release | Regional jail movement plus the issuing court’s docket or order. |
| Local sentence completion | Jail event plus judgment and any jail-credit calculation. |
| Transfer to MDOC | Receiving-agency field, MDOC Offender Search, and state records. |
| Outside county or agency pickup | Jail transfer entry and the receiving custodian’s record. |
Confirm Daviess/DeKalb Jail Releases
The regional jail is the first stop for a local custody event. A current-custody response can say whether a person remains there, but no verified public former-inmate archive or release feed was found. Historical confirmation may require a focused Sunshine request. The Daviess County released-inmate search gives the full named-person sequence across jail, court, notification, and corrections channels.
- Contact the jail with the full name and approximate admission date. Ask for the booking number.
- Ask whether the final movement was community release or transfer, and request its timestamp.
- Request the movement code or description, releasing authority, and receiving agency.
- Use Case.net for the responsible court’s disposition, bond entry, judgment, or release order.
- Use the MDOC Offender Search only after a state commitment, transfer, parole, or probation is supported.
- Use MOVANS as an event-notice channel and confirm any alert with the actual custodian.
A name dropping off a current list does not establish which step occurred. Data corrections and reporting lag are also possible. The best proof pairs the custodian’s event with the source of legal authority.
Daviess/DeKalb Jail Records Contact
The jail is located in Pattonsburg, not at the sheriff’s Gallatin office. Ask the facility to identify its records custodian and preferred delivery method before sending a request with personal identifiers. For an arrest or incident report, contact the arresting agency instead. The Daviess County Sheriff is a separate records source and does not operate the jail.
Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail
102 N. Meadows Lane
Pattonsburg, MO 64670
660-367-2200
Purpose: current custody, historical booking and final movement, booking photo, and property or release records.
A narrow request can seek the booking number, booking and release timestamps, release or movement code, releasing authority, and receiving agency. Ask for open portions after exempt fields are redacted. No verified regional-jail fee schedule for release records was found, so request an itemized estimate before costs exceed a stated limit.
The sheriff’s official jail page shows the independent-facility statement and contact route:
The source confirms why a regional-jail movement request should not be sent automatically to the sheriff.
Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail District
This is an independently operated regional jail district serving Daviess and DeKalb counties. A board composed of the two counties’ presiding commissioners and sheriffs governs it. The Daviess sheriff calls the facility entirely its own entity and says it is not run by the Sheriff’s Office. That difference affects who holds booking, confinement, property, and final-movement records.
Two current official sources give different capacity descriptions. The jail’s home page reports a capacity of 160. The sheriff’s jail page says the facility houses up to 200. Neither figure should be chosen silently as the true number. They are capacity statements, not average population, annual bookings, or annual releases.
These figures should not be used to estimate how many people leave during a day, weekend, or year. No supported release volume was found.
Daviess/DeKalb Jail Outside Jurisdictions
The official history says the district rents bed space to outside jurisdictions. A person housed in Pattonsburg is therefore not necessarily a Daviess County defendant. Capture the booking or committing jurisdiction before choosing a court. The jail FAQ directs people to the county of interest for court dates rather than supplying those dates itself.
For a Daviess prosecution, use the Daviess case in Missouri Case.net and the Circuit Clerk as needed. A person held for DeKalb County or another renter may have legal authority recorded elsewhere. The regional jail can document the custody stay, while the committing court explains bond, dismissal, sentence, probation, or another order.
The receiving-agency field is equally important at departure. A transfer to another county ends the Pattonsburg stay but does not establish community release. Ask for the agency name without requesting protected personal identifiers of the transport officer.
Daviess/DeKalb Jail Release Pickup
The official jail FAQ says every person being released receives calls to arrange pickup. When possible, staff give a ride to the nearest destination for the person’s next pickup. The statement is limited. It does not guarantee a ride, set a public release hour, identify one exit, or promise a weekend schedule.
The facility sits just off Interstate 35 in Pattonsburg. It is not at the Daviess sheriff office in Gallatin. No official bus-stop or rideshare policy was verified. Anyone planning transportation should call the jail and follow staff directions instead of assuming where or when pickup occurs.
Release readiness should be confirmed before travel. A court order, expected bond, or missing roster name does not prove processing is complete. Another hold or receiving-agency pickup may change the destination.
Daviess/DeKalb Jail Release Property
The jail’s historical policy says non-retained property is inventoried on a Property Receipt Form, stored, and returned when the person is released or transferred. A signed property transaction can help answer a property question and corroborate the end of a stay. It cannot by itself distinguish a community release from a transfer because both outcomes trigger the return language.
Ask the jail about current practice and the specific admission. A useful request may identify the property receipt or acknowledgment tied to the booking number, along with the final chronological movement. Medical, security, victim, juvenile, and protected identifying material may be withheld or redacted. Request the segregable open portion rather than demanding a whole internal file.
- Final movement
- The recorded event ending the facility’s custody for that admission.
- Transfer
- A movement into another custodian’s control, not a community release.
- Property receipt
- An inventory or acknowledgment that can support a property question but does not prove destination alone.
Why Daviess/DeKalb Jail Is Independent
Daviess and DeKalb formed the jail district in May 2005. Voters approved a half-cent sales tax in November of that year. The district purchased a former private facility and opened the renamed regional jail on February 15, 2006. That history explains why the facility’s location, governance, and records custodian differ from a standard sheriff-run county jail.
The official regional-jail history records the district’s formation and opening:
The historical source supports directing release-event questions to the independent facility while using the relevant sheriff, court, or state system for records each one controls.
Request Daviess/DeKalb Release Records
A Missouri Sunshine request should name the person, approximate booking range, and existing record categories. Ask for the admission or booking face sheet, inmate entry/release form, final chronological movement, releasing authority, judgment or commitment paper, receiving agency, and property-release receipt when relevant. A booking photo should be tied to a specific admission.
Under § 610.023, the custodian must respond as soon as possible and by the end of the third business day. That may be access, production, or an explanation of the delay and earliest availability. It does not guarantee every item is open or produced within three days. Section 610.026 permits certain charges, so ask for the lowest-cost suitable format and an advance estimate.
If a request is denied, ask for the legal basis and for any nonexempt portion that can be separated. Keep the jail movement, court case number, and receiving-agency result together. That record set answers both anchor questions: where the person went and how the end of the regional-jail stay is confirmed.
