This is a private reference website, not a Madison County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, pull official booking records, change a court date, or speak for Madison County Jail. For those actions, contact the government office that holds the record or controls the custody decision.
Where to Start for Madison County Custody or Records
For current local custody, the primary official contact is Madison County Jail, operated by the Madison County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Nic Adams: 124 N. Main St., Fredericktown, MO 63645, phone 573-783-2234. The Missouri Association of Counties lists county office hours as 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, closed legal holidays, but jail custody operations and lobby procedures should be confirmed by phone before travel. The county departments page is madisoncountymo.us/departments, the county contact page is madisoncountymo.us/contact, and the Missouri DPS Madison County directory is dps.mo.gov/dir/programs/cvsu/counties/madison.php.
- For someone who may be in Madison County Jail, start with jail inmate records and call 573-783-2234 because no official county online roster was located.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots for the Sunshine Law request route and the limits on Madison County online mugshot availability.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Missouri Case.net. Circuit Clerk Tenia Hermann is listed at 573-783-2176 x2 at the Madison County Justice Center, 3 Court Square.
- For the local detention facility, use the Madison County Jail page for the verified address, phone, operator, and research notes.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or DOC supervision case, use the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Web Search rather than the county jail phone line.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the federal BOP locator, ICE ODLS, or U.S. Marshals Eastern District of Missouri contacts as appropriate.
For prosecutor-related questions, Madison County sources differ. The county departments page lists Prosecuting Attorney Michael Ligons at 573-783-2176 x3, fax 573-783-2473, while the DPS victim-services directory lists the Prosecuting Attorney at 116 N.
