Caldwell County Detention Center Overview
The Caldwell County Detention Center is the only official detention facility found in Caldwell County for this build. It is operated by the Caldwell County Sheriff's Department and sits in Kingston near the courthouse and local government core. The sheriff describes the jail as a pretrial holding facility and a place for short-term sentenced inmates who have not been assigned to Missouri DOC.
The facility's population is broader than local arrests alone. Official inmate-information material says CCDC houses male and female detainees awaiting trial from Caldwell County, detainees from other local counties, U.S. Marshal Services detainees, and male and female short-term sentenced inmates. That is why a Caldwell County Detention Center inmate lookup may require both the county roster and an agency phone call.
Administration is local. The research names Sheriff Mitch Allen, Jail Administrator Rich Smith, Assistant Jail Administrator Jessica Farmer, Secretary Irene Parker, and Transportation Sergeant Robyn Reeds in the sheriff materials. For a public user, the practical contact point is the detention center phone and the roster profile's warning to verify bail, charges, and case numbers with detention staff.
The official detention-center page is the relevant source for facility identity and capacity. The sheriff's detention-center page describes the jail, its address, and the facility's bed count.
Caldwell County Detention Center Population
The sheriff lists CCDC as a 178-bed facility opened in 2004. The official current roster inspected on June 19, 2026 showed 26 current inmates. Those two figures describe a public capacity and a dated visible roster snapshot. They do not create an official average daily population, and the roster may not explain every hold or nonlocal authority.
Because CCDC can hold Caldwell County detainees, other-county detainees, and federal detainees, a single public roster count is not the same as a local criminal-court caseload. For court filings after a local arrest, check Case.net and the Caldwell County Circuit Clerk. For sentenced state custody, check Missouri DOC.
Look Up Inmates at Caldwell County Detention Center
The correct public lookup for CCDC is the sheriff roster. It covers current inmates and a separate 48-hour release channel. It shows public booking fields, but the profile warning says charges and bail may change after court appearances. If the person is not listed, the bond page specifically says to call the detention center when someone may be held on another county's charges or federal charges.
- Open the Caldwell County inmate roster disclaimer.
- Choose Current Inmates for current CCDC custody or Released for the recent release window.
- Search by name, or use Show All and scan roster pages when spelling is uncertain.
- Open the full profile for mugshot, booking number, arresting agency, charges, bond, and booking date.
- Call CCDC at (816) 586-5245 when another-county, federal, bond, charge, or case-number questions remain.
For formal court charges, use Missouri Case.net rather than the roster. For sentenced DOC custody, use Missouri DOC Offender Search. For federal sentenced custody, use BOP. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. For alerts, use Missouri VINELink.

Caldwell County Detention Center Bonds
The official Caldwell County bonds page says arrested individuals receive any applicable bond information. It also says to use the roster for people held on Caldwell County charges and to contact CCDC for another-county or federal charges. If a cash bond applies, it can be posted at the jail or through the lobby kiosk.
| Bond Method | Published Detail | Practical Check |
|---|---|---|
| Cash bond at CCDC | Cash bonds can be posted at the detention center. | Call first to verify amount and case number. |
| Lobby kiosk | Available 24/7 and accepts cash, credit cards, and debit cards. | Fees were not located in official sources. |
| Case.net check | Bond page points users to Missouri court information. | Use Case.net for formal court case status. |
| Other-county or federal hold | Bond page says to call CCDC. | Another agency may control release. |
The screenshot manifest includes the official bond page. The CCDC bond page is the source for the 24/7 kiosk and Case.net reference.
Visit Caldwell County Detention Center
The current sheriff visitation pages were marked "Coming Soon" in the research, including general visitation, in-person visitation, electronic visitation, and communication pages. That means no official weekly schedule, dress code, visit length, child-visitor rule, remote-video vendor, or phone price table should be invented for CCDC.
| Visitation Source | What It Says | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| General visitation page | Coming Soon | Call the detention center before planning a visit. |
| In-person visitation page | Coming Soon | Do not assume posted hours exist online. |
| Electronic visitation page | Coming Soon | Remote visit vendor and schedule were not located. |
| Older CCDC visiting rules PDF | Appointment required 24 hours in advance after signed application is received. | Use with caution and confirm current rules by phone. |
Note: Confirm custody and current visit rules with CCDC before travel, because the public visitation pages did not publish a schedule.
Mail and Money at Caldwell County Detention Center
The official Caldwell County commissary page identifies Stellar Services, LLC as the provider for inmate banking, commissary, and communication services. Online deposits use JailATM after account creation. The page also warns that some JailATM menu items, such as email, video call, and gift packs, are not available for CCDC detainees or inmates from that source.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Limits |

Caldwell County Detention Intake
A local arrest can move through arrest, transport to CCDC, medical acceptance screening, intake, booking number creation, booking photo, charge entry, bond entry, court filing, release, transfer, or continued detention. Missouri RSMo 221.040 supports the intake screening point because a jailer is not required to receive or detain someone who appears unconscious, seriously ill, seriously injured, or seriously impaired until a medical exam occurs.
The roster proves that CCDC posts booking number, booking date, age, gender, race, arresting agency, charges, bond, and mugshot on public profiles. The sheriff does not publish an exact delay from intake to roster posting. The current roster inspected on June 19, 2026 did show bookings from June 18, which indicates recent bookings can appear quickly, but no guaranteed timing was located.
Caldwell County Detention Records
Booking records and arrest reports that are not online go through the Caldwell County Sheriff's Department records process. The records page says requests must be in writing, must reach the Custodian of Records, and are handled under Missouri Sunshine Law. The county says it responds within three business days after request and applicable fees are received, though the actual production of records can take longer.
Requesters should expect redactions and possible closure. Caldwell County says arrest records are open after 30 days from arrest if charges are made, but closed if the person is not charged within 30 days. The county also says records associated with cases later nolle prossed, dismissed, not guilty, or suspended imposition of sentence are closed.
About Caldwell County Detention Center
CCDC opened in 2004 and was built as the county's primary detention building. It has a stated 178-bed capacity and an average of 45 staff members, from custody officers to clerical staff. The sheriff's navigation separates detention operations from public records, bonds, commissary, communication, and visitation resources.
Local program details are limited in official web sources. The research did not locate a public GED, substance-abuse, religious-services, grievance, or reentry program menu for CCDC. State DOC program descriptions should not be treated as county jail programming. Medical care and jail oversight are instead framed by Missouri county-jail statutes, including RSMo 221.120 for necessary medical attention and RSMo 221.340 for board-of-visitors oversight.
Note: CCDC is the only Caldwell County facility page built because no separate local jail, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE-only facility was confirmed.
