Nodaway County Jail Inmate Lookup

Nodaway County Jail Overview

Nodaway County Jail is operated by the Nodaway County Sheriff's Office at 404 N. Vine Street in Maryville. The sheriff's office and jail share the same street address, and the sheriff's contact page lists the Sheriff's Office/Jail Phone and non-emergency line as 660-582-7451. Sheriff Austin Hann is the current sheriff named on the sheriff and county pages.

The jail holds adults at the local custody stage, including people arrested on Nodaway County charges, warrants, capias and failure-to-appear matters, probation-violation holds, local sentences, and other holds pending court action. Missouri law places county jail custody under the sheriff, and the local roster should not be confused with the statewide Missouri DOC locator for sentenced prison residents.

The sheriff's jail page describes a 42-bed facility with one cell block, an observation holding cell, and an isolated annex. It also says the jail operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Specific housing-unit names, annual booking totals, sex/race/age demographic breakdowns, and work-release unit details were not published in the official local material.

Nodaway County Jail Capacity and Population

The official Nodaway jail and visitation page, inspected in June 2026, gives the rated capacity as 42 beds. The sheriff's current-inmates page was last updated June 18, 2026 during inspection and showed 18 listed inmates by manual count. That public roster count is useful for a point-in-time read, but it is not the same as an official average daily population report.

Historical context from Prison Policy Initiative tables lists Nodaway County Jail with a correctional population of 22 for a 2013 census table, and the county's COVID-era jail count moved from 21 on February 24, 2020 to 17 on May 12, 2020. Those figures should not be treated as today's jail population.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Nodaway County Jail

Use the sheriff's Current Inmates page for current Nodaway County Jail custody. It is a list-only roster, not a searchable database. During inspection it showed mugshot thumbnails, names, charge text, and bond text, but no visible booking-number field, search box, release tab, court-date field, or profile link.

The manifest screenshot of the current-inmates page shows the kind of roster entry readers should expect: booking-photo thumbnails beside names, charge wording, and bond text.

Because the roster has no search form, the practical lookup process is to check the last-updated date and scroll the active list. If the person does not appear, use the sheriff's records-request page, phone the jail, check Case.net for filed court charges, or use Missouri DOC Offender Web Search for sentenced state custody. No BOP prison, ICE detention center, or official USMS contract facility was located inside Nodaway County, so federal or immigration custody should be checked through the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator only when the case has moved into those systems.

1. Open the sheriff's Current Inmates page.
2. Read the last-updated date before relying on the list.
3. Scroll for the person's name and compare charge and bond text.
4. Call 660-582-7451 or use the sheriff's records-request channel when roster details are missing.

Nodaway County Jail Address and Contact

For jail questions, visitation appointments, and custody routing, use the jail phone listed by the sheriff. The sheriff's contact page also lists dispatch at 660-562-3209 for deputy response and warns that email is not the route for in-progress calls. Administrative office hours apply to the sheriff's office, while jail operations continue around the clock.

Visiting Someone at Nodaway County Jail

Nodaway County Jail uses weekend, appointment-only in-person visitation. Call 660-582-7451 and choose Option 1 for the jail. Visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, and the sheriff's jail page limits visitation to one visit per inmate per weekend. Visits are about 20 minutes, and up to two approved visitors must split that time.

Visitors must be over 18, must be on the schedule, and cannot be on Probation and Parole. Late visitors may be denied, and jail staff may end a visit. The sheriff's rules also say personal items such as cell phones, photographs, books, and similar items are not allowed in the visitation booth, so visitors should leave belongings secured before entering.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Nodaway County Jail

The jail's published mail rule is specific: inmates can receive postcards measuring 4.25 by 6 inches. Envelope letters are not accepted unless approved otherwise or treated as legal mail. Photos may be mailed in an envelope by themselves or dropped off at the jail. Jail staff cannot relay personal messages, and phone access can be limited by investigation holds, detox, lockdown, discipline, or loss of privileges.

Approved contacts can use Stellar Services for video chats and emails after jail staff approve the contact application. Commissary and phone-time deposits use Stellar Services/JailATM online or the lobby kiosk. The published kiosk fee is $3 for cash or 10 percent for card per transaction. Bond may also be paid at the lobby kiosk with cash or card.

Booking and Intake at Nodaway County Jail

Official sources do not publish a step-by-step booking manual, but the local process starts when law enforcement transports an arrestee or warrant subject to the jail. Intake can include identification, search, property inventory, custody-reason review, medical or detox screening, a booking photo, and entry on the current-inmates page when the sheriff updates the public list. Missouri section 544.170 controls the 24-hour charge-or-release rule for warrantless arrests, subject to the statute's warrant and oath language.

Property release requires the inmate to sign a release form identifying what property is released and to whom. The person picking up property must show photo ID. If a person leaves the jail and property remains, the sheriff's FAQ says pickup must be arranged within 10 days.

About Nodaway County Jail

The local jail's strongest official details are its small scale and published visitor rules: 42 beds, one cell block, an observation holding cell, an isolated annex, 24/7 operation, weekend appointment visitation, postcard mail, and Stellar Services/JailATM deposit channels. No recent official Nodaway jail litigation, consent decree, DOJ investigation, jail death, or new jail construction project was located in the official local sources. A 2025 local news report did note Sheriff's Office progress toward staffing, including a report that a recent hire brought the department to 17 deputies.
