Ste. Genevieve County Inmate Basics
The Ste. Genevieve County Sheriff's Office Detention Center is at 5 Basler Drive in Ste. Genevieve. The county describes it as a modern facility capable of housing about 300 detainees daily, with 35 full-time deputies and correctional officers. It serves local, state, and federal agencies, and staff handle housing, court transports, in-state and out-of-state extraditions, and facility security.
The key local point is that the county did not publish a separate inspectable roster profile with mugshots, charge rows, housing units, and release projections. The official detention page links inmate information to VINELink. For a person already sentenced or supervised by the state, use the Missouri Department of Corrections offender search instead of assuming the person remains in county pretrial custody.
The county's Detention Center page is the official local hub for jail information, PREA reports, visitation notices, inmate links, and policy PDFs.
VINELink supports custody lookup and notification, but it should not be described as a county-hosted jail roster.
Ste. Genevieve County Custody Search
Use the custody channel that matches the person's status. A local pretrial detainee, a civil detainee, a state prisoner, and an ICE detainee may all be connected to the same county facility at different points, but the search tools are not the same. A court case can also exist even when the person is no longer housed in the jail.
| Custody route | Use it for | Official access |
|---|---|---|
| VINELink | County-linked inmate information and victim notification | VINELink map portal |
| MODOC Offender Search | Missouri prison, probation, or parole supervision | Missouri DOC offender search |
| ICE detainee phone route | Information about an ICE detainee housed at the facility | 573-883-5820 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. |
| Detention Center phone | Local custody, bond, visitation, and facility questions | 573-883-5820 |
| Circuit Clerk | Case status, charges, hearings, and court bond instructions | 573-883-2705 ext. 1 |
The Missouri DOC offender search is the better route after a person has moved from county jail custody into state supervision.
That statewide search is separate from Ste. Genevieve County jail custody and separate from the local court case record.
Use VINELink for Ste. Genevieve County Inmates
VINELink is the county-linked custody information route. Search fields can vary after the state or jurisdiction is selected, so the local research did not verify a fixed county-only roster form. Treat VINELink as a custody and notification tool, not as a full criminal court record. Court charges and hearings should still be checked in Case.net or through the Circuit Clerk.
- Open the VINELink portal and select the state or jurisdiction path shown by the site.
- Enter the person's name or available offender information after the VINELink search fields load.
- Review custody status and notification options shown for matching results.
- Use the Detention Center phone number for local facility questions that VINELink does not answer.
- Search Case.net separately for court dates, charges, bond orders, or dispositions.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| State selection | Map or dropdown | Yes | Start from the VINELink map or state path. |
| Name or offender search fields | Text | Varies | Fields appear after selecting the jurisdiction or state. |
| Notification registration | Web form or phone | No | Victim notification can also relate to MOVANS. |
Ste. Genevieve County Inmate Fields
No public county-hosted inmate profile was inspectable from official sources. For that reason, the Ste. Genevieve County inmate record inventory should not claim local mugshots, projected release dates, booking numbers, housing units, or charge tables unless a later official source verifies them. Use confirmed county and portal facts instead.
| Confirmed item | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Custody status | VINELink may show custody and notification information after a valid search. |
| Facility contact | The Detention Center answers local custody, bond, and visitation questions. |
| State supervision | MODOC identifies offenders in state prison, probation, or parole systems. |
| ICE detainee route | ICE directs detainee information calls to the facility during listed hours. |
| Court case data | Case.net and the Circuit Clerk handle charges, hearings, disposition, and bond orders. |
| Letter of incarceration | The jail FAQ gives a written request process for eligible current or former detainees. |
Note: County jail custody and a criminal court case are related records, but they are not the same file.
Ste. Genevieve County Jail Facility
The Detention Center is the local facility for Ste. Genevieve County inmate records, bond logistics, visitation, mail, money, and facility policies. The official FAQ gives a specific driving route: take I-55 to exit 150, take Highway 32 east about five miles to Casey's, turn right onto Basler Drive just past Casey's, and continue about one-quarter mile to the Sheriff's Office on the right.

The ICE facility page lists the Ste. Genevieve County Detention Center and gives the detainee information phone route.
That federal route is useful for ICE custody questions, while local bond and visitation rules still come from the Detention Center and court.
Bond Rules for Ste. Genevieve County Inmates
Bond instructions depend on the court order and the type of bond. The Detention Center FAQ separates cash-only, cash-or-surety, and Circuit Clerk only bonds. Exact cash is required for cash-only bonds posted at the Detention Center, and staff cannot make change. Cash-or-surety bonds may be handled with cash at the Detention Center or by an approved bondsman for the 24th Judicial Circuit.
| Bond type | Where it may be posted | Local caution |
|---|---|---|
| Cash only | Detention Center | Exact cash is required because jail staff cannot make change. |
| Cash or surety | Detention Center or approved bondsman | Bondsmen must be approved for the 24th Judicial Circuit. |
| Circuit Clerk only | Circuit Clerk's Office | Some bonds must be posted at the courthouse during business hours. |
Ste. Genevieve County Visitation
Visitation is controlled by the Detention Center policy and can change. The county research captured the in-facility schedule and core visitor rules. Visitors should arrive early for paperwork and security checks, bring government photo identification when required, and expect no-contact visits. People under 18 must be with a parent or guardian.
| Detainee category | Day | Time | Length / notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| General population | Sunday | 12:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | 30-minute blocks; last session seated at 3:30 p.m. |
| Civil detainees | Saturday | 12:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | Arrive 15 minutes early for paperwork and security. |
| Attorney and court officers | Regular business hours | 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. | Non-business arrangements may be made. |
Visitors on parole or probation may not visit. Visitors with active warrants may not visit and may be taken into custody if the warrant is within extradition limits. Purses, phones, cameras, bags, food, drinks, packages, recording devices, and personal property are not allowed. Only vehicle keys and ID may be brought into visitation.
Ste. Genevieve County Visitor Form
Visitors 16 and older must present federal or state photo ID and complete the Visitor Questionnaire. The form asks for personal identifying information and relationship to the detainee. Because the form includes sensitive fields, it should be treated as a jail-security document, not a general public-record form.
| Field | What the form requests |
|---|---|
| Date and visit time | Date, plus staff visit time and booth fields. |
| Inmate name | Last, first, and middle name. |
| Visitor name | Last, first, and middle name. |
| Visitor identifiers | Social Security number, driver license number, and date of birth. |
| Contact information | Telephone number and full address. |
| Relationship | Visitor's relationship to the detainee. |
Money and City Tele Coin
Only money and prescription medication may be brought to the facility. Funds can be applied through the kiosk in the visitation lobby, and the kiosk accepts cash plus Visa, MasterCard, or Discover debit and credit cards. Deposits are handled by City Tele Coin through the lobby kiosk, citytelecoin.com, or the City Tele Coin app.
Funds must be applied before 8:00 p.m. Monday to be credited and available for commissary that week. The jail does not relay routine messages. It may relay a verifiable medical emergency such as a death in the family. Documents that need a detainee signature or notary must be mailed to the detainee, who then submits an inmate request for notary service and is responsible for mailing the document back.
Mail and Incarceration Letters
The Detention Center page links an official mail policy PDF, but the research did not extract readable policy text. For that reason, do not infer scanned mail, postcard-only rules, or package rules beyond the official FAQ. The safe route is to confirm current mail instructions with the Detention Center before sending anything time-sensitive or valuable.
Letters of incarceration have a narrow written request path. Former detainees must mail a written request with a self-addressed stamped envelope to the custodian or administrative assistant. The request must come from the formerly incarcerated person, not a third party. Current detainees use a General Request or Letter of Incarceration Request from inside the facility.
Ste. Genevieve County Jail Oversight
The Detention Center publishes PREA-related materials and serves local, state, and federal detainee populations. The research also noted recent news coverage about ICE detainee conditions and an ICE custody death at the facility. Those news items are dated oversight context, not inmate record sources. For a present custody question, use VINELink, MODOC, the ICE phone route, or the Detention Center phone line.
Note: A person can have a court case in Ste. Genevieve County after release, transfer, or sentencing, so check custody and Case.net separately.
