How to Check If Someone Is Still in Morgan County Jail (Current Roster & 48‑Hour Release)

On the Morgan County Detention Center’s inmate roster area, the “Current Inmates” option is the place to check when you need to see who is presently housed at the detention center. If the person you’re looking for appears there, it’s a strong sign they’re currently in custody - just remember that the roster is provided for convenience, not as a certified record.

If someone may have been released recently, use the “48 Hour Release” option. That page is meant to show all persons released from the Morgan County Detention Center within the last 48 hours, which can help when someone is no longer showing up on the current inmate list but you’re not sure what happened next.

Before you rely on anything you see online, read the disclaimer on the roster page. Morgan County Detention Center states the information is collected and provided for the convenience of the site visitor/reader, and that the detention center cannot certify the accuracy and/or authenticity of any information. That means you shouldn’t treat the roster as proof for legal deadlines, bond decisions, pickup plans, or other urgent situations - use it as a starting point, then confirm details directly with the jail when it matters.

Step By Step Check Roster

• ✓ Check the “Current Inmates” list first to see if they’re currently at the Morgan County Detention Center.
• ✓ If they aren’t on the current list, check the “48 Hour Release” list for very recent releases.
• ✓ Double-check the name spelling you’re searching for - small differences can throw you off.
• ✓ If the roster entry shows identifying details (like a booking number or date/time), write them down for reference.
• ✓ Keep the disclaimer in mind: the detention center cannot certify the roster’s accuracy or authenticity, so don’t rely on it as a final answer for urgent or legal decisions.

1. Save what you’re seeing - Take a screenshot or print the roster entry so you have an exact record of what appeared on the page at that moment.
2. Capture the key identifiers - Note the spelling of the name and any identifying numbers or date/time details shown on the entry.
3. Call to confirm when it matters - For anything time-sensitive or legal, call the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office / Adult Detention Center at 573-378-5481 (available 24 hours) and confirm custody/release status directly.

The 48-hour release page is most useful when you suspect someone was released recently and you want a quick way to confirm they may have left the detention center within the last two days. Even then, it’s still covered by the same disclaimer about accuracy and authenticity. If you’re trying to coordinate pickup, confirm release timing, or you need dependable information for a legal issue, call and verify rather than relying on the online list alone.
