Holt County Jail Lookup

Holt County Jail Overview

Holt County Jail is operated by the Holt County Sheriff's Department and functions as the county-jail facility for Oregon, Mound City, Craig, Maitland, Forest City, Big Lake, Bigelow, Fortescue, and unincorporated Holt County. The official sheriff page identifies the sheriff's department as the jail location, the county 911 and dispatch center, and the office responsible for inmate care and services. The department also dispatches law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services countywide, so a local arrest may begin with a city police officer, sheriff's deputy, or Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper and still route through the county jail for custody confirmation.

The jail is local custody, not a state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention center. It can hold people after arrest while they wait for release, bond review, court filing, or transfer, and it may hold local sentenced misdemeanants when ordered. Missouri law places county jail custody under the sheriff, and the public record path for jail booking information runs through the sheriff when no online roster is posted.

The official source image for this facility page is the Holt County Sheriff's Department page, which is the county page that lists the jail location, sheriff contact details, 24-hour coverage, and jail-related links.

That sheriff page is important because Holt County did not provide a separate public jail roster, mugshot gallery, visitation page, or current capacity dashboard in the research materials.

Holt County Jail Capacity and Population

A current county-published rated capacity was not located. The best sourced recent capacity figure in the research is the Vera Incarceration Trends county dataset, which lists Holt County Jail at 15 rated beds in 2019. The same Vera row lists a 2019 jail population of 7, with 5 pretrial people and 2 sentenced people, and 46 jail admits for the year. Those figures should be treated as historical dataset values, not a live dashboard.

The Prison Policy Initiative/Census correctional-population locator lists Holt County Jail as a local correctional facility entry with a population of 11 from a 12/31/2013 source date. Together, the data points describe a very small county jail population, but they do not replace a current call to the sheriff for live custody status.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Holt County Jail

No official Holt County online jail roster, inmate-search portal, current-inmates list, app roster, or mugshot gallery was located on the official county or sheriff pages. The working lookup chain is therefore phone-first for current custody, then agency-specific systems for arrests, court filings, sentenced custody, federal custody, immigration custody, and notifications.

1. Call the Holt County Sheriff's Department or jail at 660-822-3001 or 660-822-3002 and ask whether a named person is currently held at Holt County Jail.
2. Have the person's full legal name, date of birth or age, approximate arrest date, and arresting agency if known. The sheriff page names Oregon Police Department, Mound City Police Department, and Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop H as relevant local or outside-agency contacts.
3. For a Missouri State Highway Patrol arrest, search MSHP Arrest Reports. That system covers Highway Patrol arrests only, is preliminary and unofficial, and reports remain online for five days.
4. For charges after a case is filed, search Missouri Case.net manually or contact the appropriate Holt County court office. Court filings are not the same thing as a live jail roster.
5. For sentenced state-prison, probation, or parole cases, search Missouri DOC Offender Search. It covers active DOC-supervised offenders, not fresh county bookings.
6. For federal custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator after federal imprisonment. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS when ICE or CBP custody applies.
7. For custody-status notifications, register through VINELink or Missouri MOVANS rather than waiting for a county roster update that may not exist.

Holt County Jail Address and Contact

Use the official Holt County sheriff page's contact information first. Older state and association directories show a backup phone number and a conflicting street number, so they are useful only when the current sheriff-page numbers fail or when reconciling old records.

Sheriff Tiger Parsons is named on the official county sheriff page. Older Missouri DPS and Missouri Association of Counties directory entries list 660-446-3300 and one state directory gives 907 S Main St; those listings conflict with the current county sheriff page's 107 S Main St address and should be treated as backup or historical directory information.

Visiting Someone at Holt County Jail

No official Holt County Jail visitation schedule, visitor application, dress code, ID rule, child-visitor rule, remote video vendor, or property policy was located in readable official sources. Call the jail before traveling, especially because rural visitors may drive in from Interstate 29, U.S. 59, or U.S. 159 approaches and the county site does not publish parking, visitor entrance, locker, ADA entrance, or transit details for the jail.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Holt County Jail

The sheriff page links jail commissary information and inmate phone time information, but the linked files were not readable during research. No official mail-address format, phone-rate table, deposit vendor, kiosk rule, commissary ordering schedule, remote video service, or app-only family service was located. Do not assume a vendor used by another Missouri county applies to Holt County Jail.

Booking and Intake at Holt County Jail

Holt County does not publish a jail intake manual. In a local Missouri jail setting, booking usually includes identity confirmation, warrant and hold checks, property inventory, search, booking photograph and fingerprints when required, medical or mental-health screening, charge entry, and temporary housing or classification. The official sheriff page confirms the jail is located with the sheriff's department and that the department oversees inmate care and services.

For warrantless arrests, Missouri law includes a 24-hour detention rule unless the person is charged and held by warrant. Bond and release decisions belong to the court process, while the jail can confirm whether the person is physically held and whether an outside hold, warrant, parole/probation matter, federal issue, or immigration detainer changes the release path.

About Holt County Jail

The county site gives detailed courthouse history for Oregon and Holt County but does not publish a dedicated jail construction history, expansion history, accreditation page, current jail programming page, or recent county jail litigation/reform notice. The facility page should therefore stay focused on verified operating facts: Holt County Jail is the local sheriff-run jail, the sheriff's department has 24-hour coverage, and current custody has to be confirmed through the jail because no public roster was located.

For records and mugshots, direct requests to the Holt County Sheriff's Department as the law-enforcement records custodian or ask the office to identify the custodian. Missouri Sunshine Law procedures require public bodies to act on records requests by the end of the third business day after receipt, though production can take longer for reasonable cause. Arrest and incident reports are generally open under Missouri law, but booking photos or related material may be redacted or withheld when an investigation, safety issue, juvenile/confidential matter, sealed case, or closure rule applies.

Transfer status matters. Holt County Jail is the starting point for many local arrests, but it is not the correct lookup after a person moves into Missouri DOC custody, federal BOP custody, ICE custody, or a court-only status after release. Missouri DOC Offender Search is for active DOC supervision, BOP is for federal inmates, ICE ODLS is for immigration custody, and MOVANS/VINELink is for custody and event notifications. No official Holt County sheriff or local police mobile app with a roster or warrant lookup was located in the research.

Directions should use 107 S Main St in Oregon, the Holt County seat near the courthouse and county office area around Main Street and Nodaway Street. Most visitors should expect to arrive by private vehicle because Holt County is rural and the county materials emphasize Interstate 29 as the main north-south access route. Confirm the visitor entrance, parking, permitted items, and any same-day restrictions by phone before leaving.
