Caldwell County Detention Center Custody Overview
Caldwell County Detention Center is operated by the Caldwell County Sheriff's Department as a regional county detention center. For this Carroll County site, the facility is treated as the primary documented jail channel because Carroll County's own official pages did not show a working online roster, booking report, mugshot gallery, or local detention-center page. The Caldwell facility is not inside Carroll County, but official sources connect it to Carroll County custody questions.
The official detention page says Caldwell County Detention Center houses male and female detainees from Caldwell County, various other local counties, and the U.S. Marshals Service. It also describes the jail as a pretrial holding facility and a place for short-term sentences that are not assigned to Missouri Department of Corrections custody. That means a Carroll County arrest record can originate with Carroll County law enforcement while the jail profile, bond desk, visitation logistics, and commissary rules come from Caldwell County Detention Center.
The Caldwell County Sheriff's Department detention page is the source for the facility identity, address, capacity, opening year, and staff count. The screenshot below is the matching official facility page from the image manifest.
The facility page is useful because it states the regional role directly instead of forcing Carroll County readers to rely only on third-party jail lists.
Caldwell County Inmate Lookup Role
Carroll County's custody path is easy to misread. A person may be arrested by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, Carrollton Police, Missouri State Highway Patrol, or another agency, then appear in a regional jail system outside Carroll County. The research file documents two official examples that support this route. A Missouri State Highway Patrol release dated April 23, 2026 reported that a Carrollton homicide defendant was charged and held in the Caldwell County Jail on a no-bond warrant. A Caldwell County official March 2024 press release also described a person with an outstanding Carroll County warrant being transported to Caldwell County Detention Center.
Those examples do not mean every Carroll County detainee is at Caldwell County Detention Center. They do show why Carroll County inmate lookup should include the Caldwell roster, the Carroll County sheriff phone line, Case.net after charges are filed, and state or federal locators when the jail roster does not fit the custody status. For a broader custody route across Carroll County records, the Carroll County jail inmate records page explains the sheriff-first fallback chain.
Note: Treat the arresting agency and the housing jail as separate facts when checking a Carroll County custody record.
Caldwell County Detention Center Capacity and Staff
The sourced population data for this facility is specific enough to use, but it should not be presented as a Carroll County jail population count. The Caldwell detention page lists a rated capacity of 178 beds, an opening year of 2004, and an average of 45 staff members. The Caldwell current roster showed 26 current inmates when inspected on June 19, 2026. That roster count is a snapshot for the regional housing facility, not a Carroll-only daily population figure.
The facility's population mix is also important. Caldwell County Detention Center holds pretrial detainees, short-term local sentences, other-county detainees, and U.S. Marshals detainees. Carroll County does not have an official jail capacity or annual average daily population located in the reviewed sources, so the defensible Carroll County statement is narrower: custody may be regional, and Caldwell is the best documented regional jail channel.
Caldwell County Detention Center Roster Search
For a regional jail lookup, use the Caldwell County inmate roster landing page. It provides choices for current inmates and 48-hour releases. The current roster has a single visible name search field, current and released tabs, date and name browsing, newest and oldest sorting, pagination, mugshot thumbnails, booking numbers, booking dates, charges, bond entries, and profile links. If the person may have just left custody, the released roster is the official short-window place to check.
- Call Carroll County Sheriff's Office first if the arrest happened in Carroll County and ask where the person was taken.
- Open the Caldwell roster and choose current inmates for active custody.
- Use Search By Name, or browse by name, date, current, and released views.
- Open View Profile and compare the booking number, arresting agency, booking date, charges, bond, and mugshot.
- Call Caldwell County Detention Center if the person is held on another county's charge, a federal charge, or if the bond information may have changed.
| Roster Control | Type | How It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Search By Name | Text field | Search a full or partial name; no official minimum length was posted. |
| Name | Tab or filter | Browse roster entries by name. |
| Date | Tab or filter | Browse by booking or roster date order. |
| Current | Tab or filter | Limit results to current detainees. |
| Released | Tab or filter | Check the 48-hour release list described by the roster landing page. |
| Newest or Oldest | Sort link | Change the booking time order. |
| Show All | Control | Clear a name search and return to the full roster view. |

The current roster view is the best place to start after a Carroll County sheriff call confirms that the person may be housed at Caldwell.
Caldwell County Booking Profiles
A Caldwell County Detention Center profile is a jail booking profile, not a final court judgment. The sample profile inspected on June 19, 2026 showed a mugshot image, name, booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date, charges, bond, and a warning note. The sample booking number followed a year-sequence format. The sample did not show height, weight, date of birth, housing unit, court date, warrant number, case number, judge, or a per-charge bond breakdown.
Mugshot-style images appear on the roster list and on individual Caldwell profiles. For Carroll County searches, that is useful only when the person is physically listed at Caldwell County Detention Center. Carroll County itself did not publish an official booking-photo roster in the reviewed sources. If a Caldwell profile does not appear, the next route is a Carroll County sheriff records request for arrest or booking records, followed by Case.net for filed charges after the prosecutor opens a case.
Do not treat roster charges as final charges. Caldwell's profile warning says charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and tells bond companies and people seeking to post bail to contact detention staff for the correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers. That warning is especially important for Carroll County detainees because the court case may be in Carroll County while the public jail profile appears under Caldwell County Detention Center.
Caldwell County Detention Center Bond Confirmation
The Caldwell bond page says arrested individuals will be provided applicable bond information. For Caldwell County charges, it points users back to the roster. For people held at Caldwell County Detention Center on another county's charges or federal charges, the official instruction is to contact detention center staff. That is the relevant Carroll County caveat: a person may be at the regional jail, but the underlying warrant, charge, or court file may belong to Carroll County or another agency.
Cash bonds can be posted at Caldwell County Detention Center or through the 24-hour lobby kiosk. The kiosk accepts cash and credit or debit cards. Before anyone travels or pays, call 816-586-5245 to confirm the person is still there, the correct charge basis, the current bond amount, the case number if available, and whether the court has changed release conditions. Missouri court records should be checked separately through Case.net once a case has been filed.
Caldwell County Detention Center Address and Directions
Caldwell County Detention Center is in Kingston, Missouri. The official facility address is 280 W. Main Street, Kingston, MO 64650, and the mailing or administrative address is P.O. Box 38, Kingston, MO 64650. Visitors traveling from Carrollton should confirm the rural route before leaving because the official jail pages do not provide detailed highway-by-highway directions or a dedicated Carroll County visitation counter.

Detention line: 816-586-JAIL
Call before travel; lobby kiosk available 24 hours for accepted bond or deposit payments.
The key public-record split is geographic and procedural. Carroll County arrest reports and local warrant questions begin with Carroll County Sheriff's Office, while Caldwell County Detention Center controls the jail profile, custody confirmation, bond counter, commissary process, and visit logistics for people housed there.
Caldwell County Detention Center Visitation and Communication
Current Caldwell County website pages for communication, visitation, electronic visitation, and in-person visitation were documented as "Coming Soon..." in the research. An older county page said appointments could be made Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Because the current pages are placeholders, the practical rule for Carroll County families is to call before travel and avoid assuming that video visits, in-person visits, mail rules, or dress-code details are unchanged.
| Topic | Official Detail Located | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visiting | Current page says "Coming Soon..."; older page referenced appointment calls Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. | Call 816-586-5245 before travel. |
| Electronic visitation | Current page says "Coming Soon..." | Do not assume video availability without calling. |
| Phone or communication | Current communication page says "Coming Soon..." | Ask detention staff for current phone rules. |
| Older page referenced acceptable mail, but current detailed rules were not captured. | Confirm the mailing format before sending items. |
Note: Confirm custody and visit rules with Caldwell County Detention Center before driving from Carroll County or sending mail.
Caldwell County Detention Center Commissary and Money
Caldwell County Detention Center identifies Stellar Services, LLC as the commissary provider and uses JailATM for online deposits. Commissary ordering is described as weekly. Money can be deposited online after account registration, at the onsite lobby kiosk, or by mailed money order. The money-order rule is strict: the detainee or inmate name must be written in the "Pay To" line or the money order will not be accepted.
| Service | Provider or Method | Process Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Commissary | Stellar Services, LLC | Weekly commissary ordering is documented by Caldwell County Detention Center. |
| Online deposits | JailATM | Register an account and use a debit or credit card. |
| Lobby kiosk | CCDC lobby kiosk | Open 24 hours and accepts cash, credit, and debit cards. |
| Money order | Mail to Administration / Finance Office | Address to Caldwell County Detention Center, Attn: Administration / Finance Office, PO Box 38, Kingston, MO 64650. |
The Caldwell County commissary page is the source for the Stellar Services and JailATM instructions shown in the manifest screenshot.
Because Carroll County did not publish local jail commissary instructions, the housing jail's current deposit rules control for a Carroll County detainee held at Caldwell.
Caldwell County Custody Distinctions
Caldwell County Detention Center is a county-level regional jail, not a Missouri state prison. If a Carroll County defendant is sentenced to Missouri Department of Corrections custody, the county or regional jail roster no longer answers the location question. The official MODOC Offender Search covers active offenders, including probationers and parolees, and searches first and last names including aliases. It does not provide discharged-offender records, and some information may be withheld for safety, security, or confidentiality reasons.
Federal custody must also be separated. Caldwell County Detention Center says it houses U.S. Marshals Service detainees, so a federal pretrial defendant can be physically housed at Caldwell while the court case remains federal. Sentenced federal inmates are searched through the Bureau of Prisons locator. ICE custody is searched through ICE ODLS by A-number or by name, country of birth, and birth date. ICE ODLS is a custody locator, not a mugshot gallery.
For a full Carroll County custody overview across local, state, and federal systems, start from the Carroll County inmate population page and then use the specific locator that matches the person's legal status.
Caldwell County Detention Center Facility History
The facility history adds helpful context for why Caldwell County Detention Center is a regional lookup point today. The research notes that Caldwell County's first jail was completed in November 1869 and remained in use until September 2004, when the current detention center at 280 W. Main Street was finalized. The current building was designed for pretrial holding and short-term local sentences rather than long-term state prison custody.
For Carroll County readers, the practical takeaway is not historical trivia. It is that the current regional facility has a structured public roster, profile pages, mugshot images, bond information, and deposit procedures, while Carroll County's official site did not publish a comparable local roster. A precise search should therefore begin with the Carroll County sheriff for the arrest source and move to Caldwell County Detention Center only when housing at that facility is confirmed or strongly indicated by the records.
