Warren County Jail Inmate Lookup

Warren County Jail Overview

Warren County Jail is operated by the Warren County Sheriff's Department at 104 W. Main St., Suite A, Warrenton, MO 63383. The official sheriff site at warrencomosheriff.gov identifies Sheriff Kevin Harrison as the county sheriff, and the sheriff pages use the same Main Street address for the office, jail materials, directory pages, and weekly arrest reports. The jail is the local adult detention point for Warren County arrests rather than a Missouri Department of Corrections prison.

The public records located show county detainees, city arrests, Missouri State Highway Patrol arrests, probation-violation entries, fugitive and other-agency holds, and people held for Warren County or municipal agencies. Local agencies listed in county sources include Warrenton Police Department, Wright City Police Department, Truesdale Police Department, and Foristell Police Department. When those arrests enter the county jail system, the weekly arrest reports may show both the arresting agency and the agency held for.

Warren County Jail Capacity and Population

The strongest sourced capacity figure located is 156 beds. That number comes from a Missouri Department of Public Safety POST recruitment PDF for the Warren County Sheriff's Department, which also states that the jail was renovated in 2019 and that administrative offices were constructed new in 2019. The same source describes Warren County as 429 square miles and about 50 miles west of St. Louis along Interstate 70, with the sheriff's department employing 78 people when the notice was published.

Population figures should be treated by source and date. A Vera Institute Warren County fact sheet reported an average daily jail population of 117 in May 2019 and 100 in May 2022, a 15 percent decline between those monthly snapshots. Using the May 2022 Vera figure against the 156-bed capacity gives a rough 64 percent capacity-use snapshot, but it is not current occupancy. The weekly arrest reports list arrests during a date range; they are not a daily population dashboard.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Warren County Jail

Warren County does not publish a conventional searchable current-inmate roster in the located official sources. The official route starts at the Sheriff's Jail Info page, where weekly arrest-report PDFs are posted. Those PDFs are free to view and are generated as weekly reports, not live custody screens. A person listed in a report may have bonded out, received a summons, completed a hold, transferred, or remained in custody after the report period.

1. Open the Warren County Sheriff's Jail Info page and select the newest weekly arrest report, or the report covering the arrest week.
2. Search inside the PDF by last name using the browser or PDF viewer search tool.
3. Review the name, race, sex, age, arresting agency, agency held for, booking number, charges, and bond language.
4. Call the Sheriff's Office at 636-456-4332 to confirm current custody, release, bond, transfer, or hold status before acting on the PDF.
5. If the person was sentenced to state prison, search MODOC Offender Search; if the matter is federal or immigration-related, use the BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels instead of the county report.

Warren County Jail Address and Contact

The facility and sheriff's office share the official Main Street address used across the sheriff site and report headers. The office number is the main starting point for jail information, records routing, custody confirmation, and questions about visitation downloads or the inmate handbook. Dispatch is listed separately for after-hours law-enforcement routing, while emergencies should always go to 911.

The sheriff Jail Division directory identifies jail staff including Lieutenant Matt Schmutz, Sergeant Ashley Andrews, several detention officers, corporals, sergeants, and jail nurse Kristy Poe. The records clerk directory lists records/reception staff including Tiffany Eaton, Allie Moritz, Amber Andrews, Isabelle Fletcher, and Alexis Stoehr, and the county directory at warrencountymo.org/county-directory/ gives related court, prosecutor, and police contacts. Those names support the existence of jail and records functions, but the main public contact route remains the Sheriff's Office number and address unless the office gives a more specific routing instruction.

Visiting Someone at Warren County Jail

The sheriff's Jail Info page labels an "About Jail Visitation" download and an "Inmate Handbook" download, but the accessible text reviewed did not expose the actual visitation schedule, visitor-identification rules, dress code, video-visitation vendor, or sign-up procedure. Because those details can change quickly, visitors should confirm directly with the jail before traveling to Warrenton. Do not assume a state prison visitation rule applies to this county jail.

Mail, Phone, Commissary, and Jail Food

The research did not locate a Warren County-specific public mail format, commissary vendor, phone vendor, video provider, deposit fee schedule, or approved-payment list. Missouri law, RSMo 221.102, generally authorizes county sheriffs to establish jail commissary or canteen systems, but that statute does not identify Warren County's vendor, deposit rules, or fees. Families should call the jail before sending money, mail, books, or packages.

Booking and Intake at Warren County Jail

The public reports document the record created after booking rather than every internal intake step. The record pattern shows that arrestees may arrive through the Warren County Sheriff's Department, Warrenton PD, Wright City PD, Truesdale, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Boone County, or another agency. Once entered, the report can display race, sex, age, arrest agency, DSN, arresting officer, agency held for, booking number, charges, and bond information.

Bond language in Warren County reports is practical and should be read carefully. Entries may show cash only, cash or surety with 10 percent authorized, cash or surety with no 10 percent option, recognizance, summons, no bond, PAW, RPAW, or shared bond. A bond entry is not the same thing as release eligibility because another hold, warrant, fugitive agency, probation matter, or court order may control what happens next. Confirm bond and release with the Sheriff's Office and then check Missouri Case.net once the formal court case appears.

Map, Directions, and Visitor Planning

Warren County Jail is in downtown Warrenton in the county courthouse and sheriff campus area. Warren County sits along Interstate 70 about 50 miles west of St. Louis, so many visitors approach through Warrenton exits and then route into the downtown government area. The official sources did not publish turn-by-turn visitor directions, parking-lot instructions, public-transit guidance, or ADA entrance details. Use GPS to the official address and call ahead if parking, accessibility, or visitor entrance location matters.

About Warren County Jail Records

The jail's weekly arrest reports are useful, but they are limited. They are not a real-time inmate population count, do not show mugshots, and do not include housing, medical, full date-of-birth, address, release-date, or profile-page details. Missing details may require a records request to the Sheriff's Office or a court-record search through Missouri Case.net. Missouri Sunshine Law access also has limits, especially for investigative records, confidential records, juvenile matters, victim information, and sealed or expunged cases.

For notifications, Missouri uses MOVANS at movans.dps.mo.gov. The Missouri Department of Public Safety announced on May 6, 2026 that local jail and detention notifications require updated registration through MOVANS, and some former phone or app notification options are not the same as the new local jail workflow. No dedicated Warren County Sheriff mobile app or app-only Warren County roster was verified in the research.
