The Andrew County Inmate Population
The Andrew County inmate population is reported most clearly through the Andrew County Detention Center roster chooser, the current jail roster, and the 48-hour release list. Those records cover people held at Andrew County Jail before trial, after local sentencing, on municipal holds, or while awaiting transfer. They do not cover every person with an Andrew County court case. Once a defendant is sentenced to Missouri Department of Corrections custody, the county roster is no longer the right search tool. Federal custody and immigration detention use separate locators.
Official county research identified one detention facility physically in Andrew County: Andrew County Jail, operated by the Andrew County Sheriff's Office. The jail also holds detainees for Savannah, Country Club Village, Clinton County, Holt County, Independence, Jackson County, Lee's Summit, Wyandotte County in Kansas, and occasional ICE detainers. That mix matters. A person on the Andrew County inmate roster may be held in the building even when the criminal case, warrant, or detainer began outside Andrew County.
Andrew County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest local population figures are the jail's rated bed capacity, the live roster count observed during research, and the county resident population series published through FRED. The Andrew County Sheriff's Office jail page states that the jail is an 84-bed facility. The current roster count changed during the June 19, 2026 research pass, with observed examples in the low-to-mid 60s. Because a roster changes as bookings and releases occur, that count should be read as an observed roster snapshot, not an official average daily population.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Rated jail capacity | 84 beds | Andrew County Sheriff's Office jail page, inspected June 19, 2026 |
| Current roster count | Observed around low-to-mid 60s | Andrew County current roster, June 19, 2026 |
| 48-hour releases | 4 observed | Andrew County 48-hour release roster, June 19, 2026 |
| County resident population | 18,241 in 2025 | U.S. Census Bureau via FRED, updated March 27, 2026 |
| Average daily population | Not located in official county sources | BJS Census of Jails describes ADP collection |
The FRED Andrew County population page supplies the resident-population context used beside jail data.
Resident population is not the same as a jail count, but it helps frame the scale of the Andrew County jail roster against the local community it serves.
Andrew County Jail Capacity
Andrew County Jail is more than a booking room. Official jail materials describe seven cell-block areas: three maximum-security holding areas, one medium-security area, two lower-risk areas for trustees and work release, and one investigative-hold cell block. The jail also has an isolation cell and a medical cell for high-risk detainees who need added supervision. Those housing areas shape the Andrew County inmate population because new arrivals must be screened for risk, medical issues, court orders, warrants, and safe housing before they settle into a pod or holding area.
At the June 19, 2026 inspection, the live roster appeared below the 84-bed rated capacity. That does not prove the jail is officially under capacity on every day. Andrew County does not publish an official public dashboard for annual bookings, average length of stay, demographic totals, or annual average daily population. The roster is useful for lookup and a rough current count, while a formal population report would need a separate official data source.
| Housing Area | Local Detail |
|---|---|
| Maximum security | Three holding cell areas listed by the jail page. |
| Medium security | One medium-security area. |
| Trustee / work release | Two lower-risk holding areas. |
| Special-purpose cells | Investigative hold, isolation, and medical cell space. |
Who Is Held in Andrew County
The Andrew County inmate population includes local pretrial detainees, people serving short local commitments, and detainees held for listed partner jurisdictions. The jail page specifically names Savannah, Country Club Village, Clinton County, Holt County, City of Independence, Jackson County, Lee's Summit, and Wyandotte County, Kansas. It also says prisoners may be held while awaiting extradition, transfer, change of venue, or on an ICE detainer. A roster charge such as a municipal hold may therefore point away from a regular Andrew County felony or misdemeanor case.
- Andrew County arrests: Local arrests and court commitments handled through the sheriff and the Fifth Judicial Circuit.
- Municipal detainees: Savannah and Country Club Village matters may appear in the jail population.
- Partner holds: Neighboring counties and named cities can have detainees housed in the jail.
- Transfer cases: Extradition, change-of-venue, and agency-transfer holds may affect release.
- Immigration detainers: Andrew County may occasionally hold someone on an ICE detainer, but the jail is not identified as an ICE detention center.
Missouri Laws for Jail Records
Missouri public-records law explains why parts of the Andrew County inmate population can be searched online and why some details may still be withheld. RSMo Chapter 610, Missouri's Sunshine Law, governs public governmental records. RSMo section 610.100 defines arrest and incident reports and states that those reports are open records, with limits for investigative records, some video, and uncharged arrests. RSMo section 221.020 places county jails under the sheriff's custody and charge unless otherwise provided.
Key statutes: Chapter 610 controls Missouri public records; section 610.100 covers arrest and incident reports; section 221.020 assigns county-jail custody to the sheriff; section 221.120 addresses medical attention for county-jail prisoners.
For Andrew County records that are not online, the best documented local written-request process is the Andrew County Prosecuting Attorney Sunshine Law request page. That page says the custodian must respond within three business days by producing records, denying records with a legal citation, or explaining the reason for delay. Jail booking questions should still start with the sheriff's office because the sheriff operates the jail and roster.
Andrew County and State Prison
A sentenced Andrew County felony defendant may leave the county jail and enter Missouri Department of Corrections custody. The state system is separate from the county jail roster. MODOC Offender Search covers active offenders, including probationers and parolees, and it requires a CAPTCHA before search. It excludes discharged offenders and may withhold some records for safety, security, or confidentiality. No Missouri DOC correctional center is physically located in Andrew County, so a prison result should be treated as state custody, not a second Andrew County facility.
The Missouri DOC facilities page explains the state prison system and custody levels.
That statewide facility list is useful after sentencing, while the Andrew County inmate population lookup remains the starting point for county-jail custody.
Search Andrew County Inmates
The official Andrew County roster starts at the Andrew County Detention Center roster chooser. It gives two paths: Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release. Current Inmates is for people held at the Andrew County Jail. The release path is limited to people released from the jail within the last 48 hours. The roster is free and did not require a login during research, but the roster chooser states that the detention center cannot certify the accuracy or authenticity of the posted information.
- Open the roster chooser and choose Current Inmates for a person believed to be in Andrew County custody.
- Use the Search By Name field and enter either the first name or last name.
- Use Date or Name sorting if a common name returns many results.
- Open the profile link to compare booking number, booking date, charges, bond, age, race, gender, and mugshot.
- Check the 48-hour release list if the person may have left custody recently.
- Call 816-324-4114 if the roster does not answer an urgent custody, bond, or release question.
Andrew County Roster Fields
The Andrew County inmate roster is built around a name search and roster filters. It does not publish every jail-management field. Housing unit, court date, warrant number, arresting agency, height, weight, and date of birth were not visible in the sample profile inspected. That means the online roster is best for a first lookup, while the jail phone line or a records request may be needed for exact release status, bond type, or historical records.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search By Name | Text | Unspecified | Placeholder accepts first or last name; no wildcard guidance posted. |
| Show All | Button | No | Clears a search and returns to the full list. |
| Name / Date | Filter links | No | Name sort may expose A-Z filters; date sort helps with recent bookings. |
| Current / Released | Filter links | No | Switches between current custody and 48-hour releases. |
| Newest / Oldest | Sort links | No | Changes booking-date order. |
| Pagination | Links | No | Appears when roster results exceed one page. |
Andrew County Inmate Records
A public Andrew County inmate record shows the booking facts that the sheriff has chosen to publish online. The inspected profile showed a mugshot, name, booking number, age, gender, race, booking date, charges, and bond. Released roster entries add release date. These fields are useful for confirming that the right person was found, but they are not a final court history. Booking charges may later be amended, dismissed, or replaced when the prosecutor files formal court charges.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | Booking photo shown on roster entries and profiles. |
| Booking # | Numeric booking identifier used in the public profile URL. |
| Age / gender / race | Basic demographic fields, not a full personal record. |
| Booking date | Date and time of jail intake. |
| Charges | Booking or arrest charge text, including holds when present. |
| Bond | Total bond amount shown on the roster, without full bond-type detail. |
Released Andrew County Inmates
Andrew County publishes a dedicated 48-hour release roster. That is the only official retention window found for released inmates during research. A person who left the jail more than 48 hours ago may not remain searchable through the public release list. If a booking number, booking date, or court case number is known, records may still be requested through the sheriff or the relevant court or prosecutor channel. Missouri Sunshine Law rules allow fees for research, staff time, copies, and duplication, so a request should be narrow and specific.
Past custody can also move to a different system. A person sentenced to state prison should be searched in MODOC. Federal prisoners should be searched in the BOP Inmate Locator. Immigration detainees should be searched through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System or USAGov ICE locator instructions if the JavaScript-heavy locator is not accessible.
Jail, DOC, BOP, and ICE
Andrew County inmate population searches work best when each custody system is kept separate. The county roster is for the jail. MODOC is for active state offenders. BOP is for federal inmates from 1982 to the present. ICE is for immigration detention, and USAGov explains that ICE searches can use name, country of birth, date of birth, or an A-number. VINELink is also available for Missouri custody notifications.
| Custody Type | Search Channel | Andrew County Use |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Andrew County roster | Current inmates and 48-hour releases. |
| State corrections | MODOC Offender Search | Sentenced state prisoners, probationers, and parolees. |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal defendants and prisoners, no county-style mugshots. |
| Immigration detention | ICE locator | Possible detainer follow-up, not a separate Andrew County facility. |
| Custody notification | Missouri VINELink | Notification and custody tracking where available. |
