This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a detainee, post bond, schedule a visit, or pull certified booking records. Those requests must go to the sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other office that owns the record.
Where To Check First
For adult county-jail custody, start with the Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Office Detention Center and the sheriff's public roster. The sheriff's office is at 216 North Missouri Street, Jackson, MO 63755. The main phone is 573-243-3551. Jail and corrections questions go through 573-243-3551, Option 1, or contactjail@capecountysheriff.org.
