When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work here so that you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Moniteau Co Jail is a detention center located at 210 E North St California, MO which is operated locally by the Moniteau County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Moniteau County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, California Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
Under the leadership of Jail Administrator Janis Wise, the Moniteau County Jail, built in 2012, has a maximum capacity of 52 inmates. The facility houses individuals awaiting trial or serving short-term sentences, managing a diverse inmate population through comprehensive intake and classification procedures.
Upon arrival, detainees undergo a thorough intake process that includes property inventory, medical screening, and booking. Inmates who fail to post bail within 24 hours must appear before a judge, either in person or via telephone, where they are informed of their charges and bond amount. Housing assignments are determined based on charge classifications—felony or misdemeanor—to maintain order and safety.
Inmates are placed in pod-style housing, which features communal areas with tables, attached seats, and two-tiered cells. Activities within the pod include playing games, reading, or watching television, while movement outside the pod, such as visits to the commissary or recreation area, occurs under the supervision of correctional officers. Adherence to jail rules can lead to lower classifications and increased privileges, while non-compliance results in stricter classifications.
The jail employs a trustee program where selected inmates assist with cooking, laundry, and commissary management. Trustees often receive minimal compensation or sentence reductions for their contributions. In addition, inmates demonstrating good conduct may participate in community service programs, which not only provide valuable labor for the community but also offer participants transferable job skills, a sense of accountability, and the potential for sentence reductions.
The jail offers outbound phone services only, with calls requiring collect payment or pre-arranged accounts through third-party vendors. Commissary is available weekly, with inmates ordering items via a kiosk and receiving essential hygiene products if indigent. Commissary orders must be verified and signed for upon delivery.
The Moniteau County Jail emphasizes rehabilitation through structured programs and incentivized good behavior. Inmates participating in community service programs contribute to society while developing a work ethic and accountability, fostering skills vital for reintegration upon release.
This balanced approach to security, rehabilitation, and inmate welfare ensures the Moniteau County Jail fulfills its dual role of maintaining public safety and supporting inmates' journeys toward positive change.
