Where to Check a Dunklin County Custody or Record Question
The local custody point is the Dunklin County Justice Center / Dunklin County Jail at 1175 Floyd Street, Kennett, MO 63857. The official county Sheriff's Office page names Nick Darter as Sheriff, lists the Sheriff's Office at 573-888-2424, the jail at 573-888-4010, dispatch at 573-888-2409, and fax at 573-888-2604. Public office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; the county states that jail and dispatch may be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including major holidays.
- For a person believed to be in the Dunklin County Jail, start with jail inmate records and call the jail line at 573-888-4010.
- For a booking photograph or mugshot request, review jail roster mugshots and ask the Sheriff's Office how to submit a Sunshine Law request.
- For charges, hearing dates, or case entries after filing, use court records after a jail arrest, Missouri Case.net, and the Circuit Clerk at 573-888-2456.
- For facility details, use the Dunklin County Justice Center / Dunklin County Jail page and confirm visitation, mail, money, and phone rules before taking action.
- For a sentenced Missouri prisoner, use the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search rather than the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System because those records are outside the county jail roster.
