The Adair Co Jail, located at 215 N Franklin St in Kirksville, MO, is a secure detention center operated by the Adair County Sheriff's Office. This facility primarily houses individuals awaiting trial or sentencing, typically for less than two years. It accepts inmates from various jurisdictions, including surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service, and the Kirksville Police Department.

New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others await their court appearances at the facility, receiving necessary accommodations such as bedding and meals. View all arrest records here.

Individuals who do not post bail within the first twenty-four hours are required to appear before a judge. During this first appearance, conducted either in person or via telephone, the judge informs the arrested person of the charges against them and sets the bond amount.

Following the intake process, which includes property inventory, medical screening, and booking, inmates are assigned to the general population. Housing assignments are based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, to ensure proper management and safety within the facility.

After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.

The jail is designed with "pods," featuring a large common area with affixed tables and attached seats, and individual cells typically on two levels. Inmates spend certain times in their cells and other times congregating in the pod for activities like playing cards, games, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, occurs under the constant supervision of unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is considered less stressful than that of a prison because the sentences are much shorter.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.

Inmate workers are selected for community service programs based on their demonstrated good conduct, cooperation with facility staff, and adherence to institutional rules. These criteria ensure that only individuals who exhibit responsibility, reliability, and a commitment to positive behavior are allowed to participate. Participation in these programs not only benefits the community through valuable labor contributions but also offers inmates the chance to develop a strong work ethic, learn transferable job skills, and build a sense of accountability.

In certain cases, involvement in community service programs can contribute to a reduction in an inmate's sentence. This incentive reinforces the importance of maintaining good behavior while incarcerated and highlights the program's dual role in supporting both the community and the inmate's journey toward reintegration.

Visitation Information

The Adair County Detention Center provides detainees with the opportunity for visitation under structured guidelines to maintain the safety and security of the facility. Visits may be canceled or shortened at any time by staff if deemed necessary for security reasons, safety concerns, or rule violations. Contact visits are not permitted, except for those involving attorneys or authorized officials.

Each detainee is allowed two 30-minute visits per week. The specific visitation days and times depend on the area and room assignment of the detainee. To find out the visitation schedule for a detainee, visitors should contact the Adair County Sheriff's Office at (660) 665-4644, extension #1. For those traveling more than an hour one way, special arrangements may be made with the Corrections Branch Director.

To participate in visitation, visitors must adhere to specific requirements. All visitors are required to sign in with correctional personnel at the control room window, located at the far end of the lobby, accessible via the Franklin Street entrance. Visitors must present a valid photo identification at the time of check-in. Visitors who have been incarcerated in the Detention Center within the last 60 days are not permitted to visit, except in cases of 12-hour self-protection holds or 24-hour holds that did not result in criminal charges. Additionally, individuals prohibited by court order or those who are victims, witnesses, or co-conspirators in the detainee's case or any ongoing case are barred from visitation.

All visitors are subject to search. Refusal to comply with a search request will result in the individual being asked to leave the facility. The use of cell phones in visitation rooms is strictly prohibited, and recording or photographing visitation areas will result in a ban from future visits.

Children may participate in visitation but must remain under adult supervision throughout the visit. If children become disruptive or cause damage to county property, the visit will be terminated, and they may be prohibited from future visits.

Visitors must adhere to a dress code, with violations including but not limited to wearing tube tops, swimming attire, see-through clothing, clothing above mid-thigh (such as cut-offs, shorts, skirts, or dresses), clothing that exposes the midriff or chest, or failing to wear shoes. Visitors suspected of intoxication will be required to take a portable breath test. Refusal to submit to the test will result in being asked to leave the facility.

These policies ensure that all visits occur in a safe, respectful, and orderly environment for detainees, visitors, and staff alike. For further questions or assistance, please contact the Adair County Sheriff's Office.
