How to Schedule a Visit at Daviess/DeKalb County Jail (confirm before you travel)
Visiting someone at Daviess/DeKalb County Jail takes a little extra planning—the jail has published conflicting scheduling information. Follow the steps below to confirm the current process before you make the drive.
One jail document says visits are scheduled by phone. Call the main number, 1-660-367-2200, Monday through Friday between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm to book your visit. This document lists the facility as Daviess/DeKalb County Regional Jail at 102 N Meadows Lane, Pattonsburg, MO 64670.
A separate statement on the facility's visitation page describes a different route for video visits. According to that source, video conferencing is appointment-only and must be scheduled through Cidnet.net.
Heads up: One jail document says visiting hours are Wednesday through Sunday, but the phone-scheduling instructions give Monday through Friday hours for calling to set visits. That mismatch is exactly why you should confirm the current schedule directly before you travel.
This isn't just paperwork - getting it wrong can cost you a whole week. The jail limits each inmate to one visit per week, and each visit lasts just one hour. Show up on the wrong day or miss the booking window, and you may have to wait until the following week to try again.
Slots fill up fast. The jail runs visitation on a first come, first serve basis, and staff can remove visitors who violate policies. Visits may also be affected by jail operations or security concerns. Confirm your slot - and whether you're booking by phone or online - right before you travel.
- Call the main jail number - Use 1-660-367-2200 and ask what the current scheduling process is. One published instruction says visits are made by calling between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
- Confirm the scheduling window you should follow - Even if you’re calling during the published hours, ask staff to confirm those are still the active times for scheduling visits.
- Verify you’re dealing with the right facility - If you need to reference the location during the call, the jail lists its address as 102 N Meadows Lane, Pattonsburg, MO 64670.
- Ask about video visitation appointments - The jail’s visitation page says video conferencing is available by appointment only.
- Confirm where appointments are made - That same page says to schedule through Cidnet.net, so ask whether that system is currently used for the person you want to visit and what you need to do to get an appointment.
- Ask directly which days visits happen - One published document says visiting hours are Wednesday through Sunday, so bring that up and ask what days are currently active.
- Match the “visit days” to the “scheduling method” - Clarify whether you schedule by phone (the document that lists phone scheduling says to call Monday through Friday) or whether your visit must be booked as an appointment through Cidnet.net.
- Repeat back what you heard - Before you hang up, restate the day/time you’re planning to visit and how it’s supposed to be scheduled, so you and staff are on the same page.
- Write down the details - Note the confirmed visit time, the name of the staff member you spoke with, and the number you called (1-660-367-2200).
- Keep the facility location handy - If anything changes while you’re on the road, you’ll want the address in one place: 102 N Meadows Lane, Pattonsburg, MO 64670.
Even after you've scheduled, plans can change. The jail treats visitation as a privilege, and anyone who violates policies can be removed and banned from future visits. If your visit gets canceled or you're turned away, call 1-660-367-2200 as soon as possible to ask about the next available slot.
Since appointments are first come, first serve, rescheduling quickly matters. Keep the weekly limit in mind too: one visit per week per inmate, one hour max. A missed or canceled visit might mean waiting until the following week, depending on what slots open up.
