Howard County Jail, MO

Howard County Jail runs a tight visitation schedule. Each inmate gets one visit per visiting day—even if you don't use the full 30 minutes, that's it for the day. Standard visits max out at 30 minutes, though the jail may cut them short or cancel based on operational needs. Hours are split by gender: female inmates from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., male inmates from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Bring a valid photo ID for check-in. Anyone under 18 must come with an adult. Expect to handle any required pre-approval, schedule ahead, and arrive early for check-in and screening.

Howard County Jail uses Access Corrections for inmate deposits. The vendor advertises quick, secure transactions and also handles bail payments and parole or probation payments. The facility's public site shows JailATM branding in the footer—useful for confirming you're on the right payment platform. If you hit a snag with payments or your account, InmateSales lists a customer-service number: 702-829-3001. The deposit process is straightforward: pick your payment method, enter the incarcerated person's name or ID, and follow the prompts.

Howard County Jail's online inmate tracker is throwing an error right now, so the roster won't load. While it's down, try statewide tools instead: the Missouri DOC Offender Web Search covers people under Department of Corrections supervision (though it may not show discharged offenders), and VINELink offers basic custody status plus notification options. Have at least one solid detail ready—full name, date of birth, or address—and include any known aliases. No results? Try spelling variations and additional search fields. Some locators only return exact matches.

Howard County Jail is a small 24-bed facility housing both men and women. Built in 2004, it charges $35 per day plus medical costs. Like most Missouri county jails, it holds people awaiting court and those serving misdemeanor sentences—expect standard intake, classification, and custody procedures when someone is booked. Planning a visit or picking up property? Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Visiting procedures and approval requirements can change, so call ahead to confirm the current process.
