Morgan County Detention Overview
The Morgan County Adult Detention Center, also called the Morgan County Detention Center in sheriff materials, is operated by the Morgan County Sheriff's Office. It is a county jail, not a Missouri state prison and not a Bureau of Prisons institution. The facility holds Morgan County pretrial detainees, people serving local jail sentences, and federal or ICE detainees when housed there under active federal detention use.
Official Morgan County sources name Sheriff Norman Dills as sheriff. The sheriff administration and corrections pages name Captain Kyle Van Vleck as the jail administrator, with corrections sergeants Nathan McGill and Jeff Campbell listed for the Corrections Division. The Morgan County Corrections Division page and the sheriff administration page are the local staff sources for those roles.
The official county site did not publish a rated capacity, housing-unit list, public parking instructions, or a full architectural profile. Federal ICE pages document inspections of the Morgan County Adult Detention Center in 2011, 2018, and 2019, and the sheriff detention page includes ICE detainee property and reporting contacts. Those sources support describing the facility as a local county jail with a documented federal and immigration detention role.
Morgan Detention Population Snapshot
The strongest local population figures are dated snapshots, not a capacity report. The sheriff's official June 1, 2026 inmate-count press release listed County: 96 and Federal: 24. The official current roster title showed 98 current inmates when inspected on June 20, 2026. These figures are useful, but they are not the same measure. The June 1 count splits county and federal detainees, while the June 20 roster count reflects current roster entries at inspection.
The June 1, 2026 inmate-count post is the source for the county and federal split. The current Morgan County roster is the source for the later roster count. No official current rated capacity was located, so the page does not state one.
Lookup Morgan Detention Inmates
Current county detainees are searched through the sheriff's roster, reached from the Morgan County roster chooser. The chooser provides Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release options. The current roster displayed mugshot, name, booking number, booking date, charges, bond, and profile link in list view. If a person is not listed, the reason may be new intake, quick release, transfer, state prison custody, federal custody, ICE custody, or a record category not shown online.
- Start with the official roster chooser rather than a third-party inmate site.
- Select Current Inmates for a person believed to be in the Morgan County Adult Detention Center.
- Select 48 Hour Release when the person may have left custody during the last two days.
- Search by name or use Show All, then sort by newest booking date when checking recent arrests.
- Confirm uncertain matches by booking number, booking date, charge text, and bond field.
- Call 573-378-5481 if the person is not listed or if custody status must be verified before travel or bond action.
Sentenced state prisoners from Morgan County move to the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search after DOC transfer. Federal sentenced prisoners are searched through the BOP Inmate Locator, while immigration detainees are searched through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. The Morgan County roster is the local jail tool, not the final answer for every custody type.
Morgan Detention Address
The same public contact line serves jail and sheriff information. The sheriff site lists the phone as a 24-hour line, while administrative office hours apply to normal business-office matters. For live custody, visitation changes, medication questions, release status, or records-request routing, call before relying on older roster information.
Morgan County Adult Detention Center

Versailles, MO 65084
573-378-5481
Administrative hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Phone listed 24 hours
The facility is in Versailles near Morgan County government offices. Official sources did not publish visitor parking, ADA entrance, public-transit, or separate intake entrance details. Confirm entrance and visitor rules with the jail before arrival, especially when traveling from Lake of the Ozarks communities or other rural parts of the county.
Morgan Detention Visits
The official Adult Detention Center page states that no-contact visitation is on Sunday and that visits are limited by time, visitor count, and identification rules. The same page says video visits are available through Cidnet seven days a week. Call the jail before travel because lockdowns, holidays, legal visits, and administrative changes can affect access.
| Visit type | Schedule | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| No-contact visit | Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. | 30 minutes, one visit per visitation day, no more than three visitors at a time. |
| Video visit | Seven days a week | Through Cidnet; users create a profile and purchase data where required. |
| Visitor ID | Required for in-person visits | Visitors must present valid picture identification. |
| Legal visits | Call to confirm | Current public rules did not publish a normal legal-visit schedule. |
The jail rules screenshot at the Morgan County Adult Detention Center page shows the local source for visitation, mail, deposits, Cidnet, medication, and ICE reporting information.
The image is used for the detention-center rules page itself, so it matches this facility's visit and communication instructions.
Morgan Jail Mail Money
Mail must include a return address, the inmate's name, the booking number, and the jail address. The sheriff page says incoming and outgoing mail is searched for contraband. It also links a mail policy file, but that file timed out during research, so the safest practice is to call the jail before sending books, photos, cards, or any item that may be rejected under a detailed policy.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail format | Return address, Inmate: Name (Booking Number), 211 East Newton Street Suite 2, Versailles, Missouri 65084. |
| Mail search | All incoming and outgoing mail is searched for contraband. |
| Money deposit | Access Corrections by lobby kiosk, phone at 866-345-1884, or online. |
| Money orders/checks | Not accepted for inmate funds. |
| Phone, video, text | Cidnet data can be purchased for video calls, phone calls, and text messaging. |
| Board bills | Paid through the sheriff's office, not the detention center credit-card system. |
Access Corrections is the documented money vendor, and Cidnet is the documented video, phone, and text data vendor. No local rate sheet or remote-video price schedule was published in the research sources, so rates should be checked directly with the vendor or jail before purchase.
Morgan Detention Medication Rules
The Adult Detention Center page gives a specific medication rule. Over-the-counter medication cannot be brought in. Current prescription medications may be brought in only if they are in the original container for verification by the jail's contract physician. This matters for family members because a common good-faith mistake is to bring loose pills, store-brand medicine, or non-prescription items to the lobby.
Missouri law also gives the jail medical context. RSMo 221.120 requires the jailer to procure necessary medicine, dental care, or medical attention, while RSMo 221.040 addresses sheriffs and jailers receiving prisoners committed by lawful authority and includes medical-examination provisions. Visitors should use the jail's medical process rather than mailing medication or bringing unapproved items.
Morgan Federal ICE Custody
The Morgan County Adult Detention Center has a documented federal role. The sheriff's June 1, 2026 count reported federal detainees, and ICE has official FOIA/proactive-disclosure pages for Morgan County Adult Detention Center inspections. The jail's own Adult Detention Center page lists ICE detainee property and reporting options, including DHS OIG, ICE Office of Professional Responsibility Joint Intake Center, and the ICE Detention Reporting and Information Line.
| Custody type | Where to search | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| County jail custody | Morgan County roster and 48 Hour Release | Best for local jail bookings and short-term releases. |
| Missouri state prison | MODOC Offender Search | Used after DOC transfer, not for county intake. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP Inmate Locator | No local mugshot gallery and no county jail roster control. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Search by A-number and country of birth, or name with country and date of birth. |
For a person held at the Morgan County facility under a federal or ICE status, one record may appear locally while another agency controls the legal hold. County bond or county release information may not resolve a federal detainer or immigration case.
Morgan Detention Records Access
Public access starts with the roster. If a record is not online, the Missouri Sunshine Law route is a written request to the public agency that created or keeps the record. For this facility, that usually means the Morgan County Sheriff's Office for booking records, arrest reports, booking photos, and jail-related material. Filed criminal charges, hearing dates, and dispositions belong in the Missouri courts system rather than the jail file.
Under RSMo 610.100, arrest and incident reports are generally open records, subject to exceptions and closure rules. Under RSMo 610.140, qualifying expunged records are closed after order. A request should be narrow, use the booking number when available, and separate jail records from court records. The local roster process is also covered on the Morgan County jail inmate records page.
Note: Confirm custody, release, and visitation with the jail before traveling because roster entries and schedules can change.
