St. Louis City Jail inmate search

The Locate a St. Louis City Inmate tool is operated by the Division of Corrections for the City of St. Louis. Exact matches only appear when you type the person's first and last name exactly.

Expect to see facility, sex, race, year of birth, and the person's name in each result. New bookings won't appear right away because updates happen periodically. For more search tips, see finding someone in jail.

Anyone arrested in the city is usually taken to the City Justice Center or kept in police custody. After booking, Locate a St. Louis City Inmate tells you the facility holding them.

Because the list updates periodically, someone arrested tonight might not appear yet. Call the operator at (314) 621-5848 with the person's name to check a recent arrest.

Call (314) 621-5848 for the main jail line. On the Visit an Inmate page, you can give the operator an inmate's name to locate them and reach their case worker.

A commissary account, meaning the jail store, is what inmates use to buy items. Deposits require the inmate master number, padded with zeros until it reaches 8 digits, per Send Money to an Inmate.

Deposit funds online with Correct Solutions Group, by phone at 877-618-3516, or at lobby kiosks for a $3.00 fee. They don't take cash or checks. Only U.S. Postal Service Money Orders are accepted by mail. Address them to Attention: Business Office, St. Louis City Jail, 200 S. Tucker Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63102.

Inmates make phone calls through a separate telephone account. Correct Solutions Group handles these payments, according to the Send Money to an Inmate page.

You'll fund a phone account the same way as commissary. Pay at 1-877-618-3516 or at the lobby kiosks using the 8-digit inmate master number padded with zeros.

Names, photos, and arrest records don't appear on County Jail Lookup. To see what the city publishes, open the Locate a St. Louis City Inmate page. It gives facility, sex, race, year of birth, and name, but no photos.

Money given to the court so someone can go home before trial is called a bond. You must pay bond in cash and in person, per the Make Bond / Post Bail After An Arrest page. Another choice is a bail bond agent in Missouri; the Missouri inmate search page explains more.

Pay 24/7 at the jail's 1st floor window when police custody lasts 24 hours or less. Jail custody under 24 hours means paying on weekdays at Carnahan Courthouse Room 108 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. On weekdays between 5 p.m. and midnight, use the 2nd floor window. After 24 hours, pay on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or call (314) 622-4941.

It takes several hours to release someone once you post bond. Cash bond refunds take several months, per the Make Bond / Post Bail After An Arrest page. Call (314) 621-5848 or 314-241-8339 with release questions.
