JAIL  POLICIES

Visitation- Visitation is held every Friday unless otherwise stated. Appointments for visitation are made on Thursday between 9:30 am and 4 pm. Call (417) 859-2247 ex 2 for available slots. Visitation times slots are first come first serve.

Inmates are limited to three visitors total per inmate. Visits are 25 minutes

Visitors should arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before their scheduled visit to help control the number of people in our lobby area.  

Visitors must be 18 years of age and have a valid I.D.

Visitors may not have been incarcerated in the last 90 days.

If the visitor is on probation or parole, they must have a letter from their p&p officer stating they approve you to visit someone in our jail. It must also state who you are visiting.

Both males and females are to dress appropriately.   

(Meaning of appropriately in English: in a way that is suitable or right for a particular situation or occasion.)

You cannot wear:

• Revealing shorts
• Halter tops
• Bathing suits
• See-through garments of any type
• Crop tops
• Low-cut blouses or dresses
• Leotards
• Spandex
• Miniskirts
• Backless tops
• Sleeveless garments
• Skirts two inches or more above the knee
• Dresses or skirts with a high-cut split in the back, front, or side

You may not have anything with you during the visit except your I.D. and keys if you drove. Key rings should not have anything, but keys attached to it.  

Visits are monitored/recorded.  If, during a visit, it is found that there is any inappropriate language, gestures, or behavior by either the inmate or visitor, the visit will be terminated.   This could result in both the inmate and visitor to lose their visitation privileges and possible charges being filed.

 

Property Intake- The only property taken in from the public are prescription medication, eye glasses, or medical equipment approved by a Sgt. or Cpt and medical personnel.

Property Release- For an inmate to release property, they must request and fill out a property release form. It is then the inmate's responsibility to make arrangements for their specified person to come and pick up the property. The person picking up must have a form of picture ID to retrieve property. They may come to pick up property 24 hours 7 days a week.

Mail- All incoming mail is checked for contraband by detention staff. Professional mail (Legal and Governmental) will be accepted. Mail that is clearly labeled as legal/governmental mail will be opened and examined for contraband in the inmate's presence and will not be read by detention staff. Non-legal/ Nongovernmental mail is accepted in the form of postcards. The hard copy of the postcards from friends and family will no longer be given to the inmates until released. They are now being scanned in and sent to the inmates through our kiosks, which makes it very important that they are written in black or blue ink. This practice provides a safer, contraband-free environment for both inmates and detention staff. Postcards and outgoing legal mail must have the sender's full name and address; failure to do so will result in the return of the mail to the sender for correction.

 

 

  All postcards not meeting the standards below will be sent back to the sender.

1. Postcards containing stickers, adhesive labels, watermarks, stains, lipstick, personal pictures, or any alteration will be returned to sender.
2. Blank, 3x5, pre-stamped, postcards are accepted for correspondence between friends and family.
3. Mail from another Penal Institution will not be accepted.
4. Postcards containing foreign substances and/or scents (powder or liquid).
