Check Daviess/DeKalb Jail Releases

Daviess/DeKalb Jail Release Paths

Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail is an independent regional jail in Pattonsburg. Its official site says it holds sentenced and non-sentenced detainees. The Daviess County Sheriff explains that the jail is governed through Daviess and DeKalb county officials rather than operated by that Sheriff's Office. A committing county such as Sullivan can therefore supply the arrest and court record while the regional jail supplies the later confinement and release event.

A regional release entry needs context. Bond, court discharge, and completion of a local sentence may lead to community release. A state commitment, another warrant, a detainer, or a transfer keeps custody in force under another authority. A person may leave the regional roster in each situation. Ask for the physical release time, release reason, legal authority, destination, receiving agency, and hold disposition.

Daviess/DeKalb Current Roster Limits

The official regional Resources page links to JailTracker. That portal is a current roster. No released tab, 24-hour view, 72-hour view, public update cadence, or online retention promise was discovered. The displayed population may not be filterable by committing county, so a Sullivan detainee can be hard to distinguish without a booking number, date of birth, charge, case number, or direct staff confirmation.

A current roster can establish that a matched person is shown as held at the time checked. It cannot establish a past release. If a name is absent, possible reasons include release, transfer, MODOC commitment, another agency hold, spelling or identity variation, and data lag. Record the time searched and the identifiers used. Then request the regional event record rather than treating disappearance as proof.

The official resources capture shows where the live roster is reached.

The roster link supports a current check, while a prior Sullivan County release still requires the preserved jail record.

Confirm Daviess/DeKalb Jail Releases

Begin with the full name and the best available identifier. Ask whether the person was booked by Sullivan County, transferred to Pattonsburg, and then released or moved again. Secondary reporting and historical audit evidence support a Sullivan-to-regional transfer practice, but no current Sullivan contract or policy was found. The individual transfer must be confirmed with the Sullivan Sheriff and regional jail.

1. Check current regional custody. Use the official JailTracker and note the search time.
2. Call the regional jail. Provide the booking number, known date of birth, charge, committing county, and approximate dates.
3. Ask for the event. Request the release or transfer time, reason, authority, destination, and hold disposition.
4. Check the Sullivan case. Search Case.net for the bond, judgment, sentence, dismissal, warrant, or commitment.
5. Follow the destination. Use MODOC or another county only if the regional record names that path.
6. Obtain proof. Request the regional booking/release record for a past event rather than relying on a roster gap.

The Sullivan County release-record process explains the full named-person path. It helps reconcile the Sheriff's initial booking, the regional event, and the court disposition without confusing one agency's departure with freedom from all custody.

Note: A Sullivan court order may explain release authority, but it does not supply the exact Pattonsburg exit time.

Daviess/DeKalb Release Record Requests

Direct a regional request to Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail, 102 North Meadows Lane, Pattonsburg, Missouri 64670. The phone is 660-367-2200 and the fax is 660-367-2579. Ask the current custodian how to submit a written request. No published regional release-feed archive, photo flat fee, or online release-record form was identified in the research.

Name the booking and request existing entries that show admission, booking number, charge or case, committing agency, release date and time, release type or authority, destination, receiving agency, and any hold. Ask for the linked booking photo when needed for identification. If Sullivan made the arrest or commitment, send a second request to the Sullivan Sheriff because the two agencies can retain different parts of the file.

Missouri Sunshine Law requires the request to go to the public body that created or retains the record. Under section 610.023, the custodian must act as soon as possible and by the end of the third business day, though production can take longer for reasonable cause with a detailed explanation. Section 610.026 governs fees. Ask for electronic delivery, a cost estimate, and open portions separated from lawfully closed material.

Daviess/DeKalb Release Pickup

The regional jail's official FAQ provides a practical detail missing from many roster pages. Each prisoner being released receives phone calls to arrange pickup. When possible, staff provide a ride to the nearest destination of the person's next pickup. That is assistance to a handoff point. It is not a guaranteed ride home to Sullivan County.

Family should confirm that the person is actually being released from Pattonsburg before traveling. Ask when the release has final authority, where staff expect pickup, whether another agency has lodged a hold, and whether ride assistance applies. The FAQ does not publish a fixed release schedule, exit door, weekend rule, or full transport policy. Do not infer any of those details.

The FAQ also says extra items are placed in prisoner property. Mail and packages that arrive after the person is gone are returned to sender rather than forwarded. It does not publish the full property handoff process, so the released person should ask about unreturned items before departure or call after release.

Daviess/DeKalb Release Contacts

The regional jail is the direct source for current custody in Pattonsburg, the regional booking and release record, photo-custodian questions, property, and pickup routing. The Sullivan Sheriff remains the source for a Sullivan arrest, local holding event, commitment, and transfer into the regional system. Case.net and the circuit clerk supply the public court trail.

The official site names Dawn Ely as director and states a capacity of 160. A separate Daviess Sheriff page says “up to 200.” Because those descriptions conflict, neither number should be used to calculate population or release volume. Capacity also says nothing about whether one identified person remains held.

Daviess/DeKalb Release System Boundaries

The regional jail is not a Missouri state prison. A person committed to MODOC should be followed through the MODOC Offender Web Search after processing time. An active result may show prison status or state supervision. The public search excludes fully discharged offenders, so an older final discharge needs an archive, a discharge document, or a MODOC records request.

MOVANS can send participating local custody-change alerts, but reporting time and agency coverage matter. The alert is a prompt to verify, not the release record. The BOP locator applies to sentenced federal custody and does not stand in for a regional booking sheet. ICE's locator is a present civil-detention check and does not prove release from the regional jail.

Released to community, transferred to MODOC, and delivered to another warrant are three different outcomes. The regional record should identify which occurred. A court disposition then explains the legal basis, while the receiving system confirms ongoing custody or supervision.

Why Sullivan Regional Releases Split

Sullivan County's local facility pattern combines a Milan holding point with a reported regional-jail route. The Daviess Sheriff describes Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail as an independent regional jail. Sullivan's 1999 audit historically discussed the need to distinguish people held locally from those housed elsewhere. This institutional split explains why one phone call or roster may not capture the whole custody chain.

The audit is historical context. It is not proof of a current logging defect or a current contract. The sound present-day method is to ask Sullivan where the person went, ask the regional jail what happened in Pattonsburg, and compare both answers to the court case. When records differ, focus on booking numbers, dates, authority, and destination rather than assuming a name match resolves the conflict.

The official Daviess Sheriff jail explanation confirms the regional governance structure. It does not confirm that a specific Sullivan County detainee was transferred there. Individual confirmation remains essential.

Note: Regional placement is supported by research, but the Sullivan Sheriff must confirm that it occurred in the booking being checked.
