Maries County Jail Overview
The Maries County Sheriff's Office operates the Maries County Jail / Maries County Sheriff's Office Detention Center as the county-level detention point in Vienna. The facility is a local jail, not a Missouri Department of Corrections prison. Sheriff Mark Morgan is named on the official sheriff site, and the same site frames the jail division as part of the sheriff's public safety work for a rural county with a small population spread across hundreds of square miles.
The official Jail Division page says the division detains people who are awaiting trial or serving court-ordered sentences. That scope matters. A person booked after a Maries County arrest may be at the county jail while bond, first appearance, charges, or a court date are pending. A person who has already been sentenced to state prison is searched through MODOC instead. Federal and immigration custody also use separate tools, so a Maries County Jail inmate lookup should not be treated as a statewide or national custody search.
The sheriff's Jail Division page is a useful source because it lists the work the jail performs: booking and intake, inmate supervision, facility security, inmate services, and release or reentry coordination. It also mentions identification, documentation, initial housing, trained correctional staff, surveillance, controlled access, regular inspections, meals, medical care, visitation, legal counsel, rehabilitative programs, lawful release, and reentry support when those services apply.
The sheriff's Jail Division source shows how the county describes the facility's intake and inmate-service role.
The image reinforces that the Maries County Jail page should be read as a local detention and services source, not as a state prison profile or a commercial roster.
Maries County Jail Contact
For current custody questions, the main local contact is the sheriff and jail information number. The sheriff site lists the Maries County Sheriff's Office / Jail at 211 4th Street, Vienna, MO 65582, with mailing address P.O. Box 23, Vienna, MO 65582. The same office uses 573-422-3381 as the phone and 573-422-3100 as the fax. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., while the non-emergency and jail information number is shown as a 24-hour contact.

Use the phone line for time-sensitive custody checks, bond status questions, visitation confirmation, or transfer questions. The sheriff's contact form is not a substitute for an urgent jail call because the official contact page says email is not monitored around the clock.
Maries County Jail Inmate Lookup
The official roster starting point is the Maries County Sheriff Inmate Roster. During research, that roster page stated that the module was offline for maintenance. The sheriff homepage also displayed inmate booking and inmate release modules, but those modules were offline as well. That means a current Maries County Jail custody search should not stop with the website if the name does not appear online.
The practical lookup chain begins with the sheriff's 24-hour phone number, then moves through the office contact and records channels. If the jail cannot confirm local custody, the next question is whether the person is in court processing, state supervision, federal custody, immigration custody, or notification-only status. The broader Maries County inmate records workflow follows those same divisions because each system covers a different custody stage.
- Try the official roster page first, but expect an offline notice if the maintenance status has not changed.
- Call 573-422-3381 and ask whether the person is currently housed at the Maries County Jail.
- Contact or visit the sheriff's office at 211 4th Street if a records request or in-person question is needed.
- Use the sheriff's Report Request Form for report, incident, arrest, or photo requests tied to a booking.
- Search Missouri Case.net once charges, hearings, warrants, or bond entries become court records.
- Use MODOC Offender Web Search for sentenced state offenders, probationers, and parolees under active state supervision.
- Use BOP Inmate Locator, ICE ODLS, and MOVANS / VINELink when the custody path leaves the county jail.
The official roster page screenshot captured during research shows why a fallback chain is needed for Maries County Jail searches.
When the roster is offline, the sheriff phone line and official records process are more reliable than unofficial jail roster or mugshot pages.
Maries County Jail Population
The current Maries County sheriff site does not publish a live jail population, current average daily population, current annual booking count, current demographic dashboard, or current bed count. That gap should be read plainly. The best sourced facility statistics in the research are historical figures from the Vera Institute county dataset and local official context from the sheriff and Census sources. They are useful for scale, but they are not live custody counts.
| Year or Measure | Figure | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| Historical rated capacity | 14 | Vera county dataset historical Maries County rows; not republished as current on sheriff site |
| 2018 jail population | 11 | Vera county dataset |
| 2017 jail population | 10.67 | Vera county dataset |
| 2016 jail population | 10.33 | Vera county dataset |
| 2015 jail population | 10 | Vera county dataset |
| 2014 jail population | 12 | Vera county dataset |
| 2012 jail population | 16 | Vera county dataset; above the historical capacity reference |
Those numbers show a small jail population in a rural county, but they do not answer who is in custody today. The sheriff homepage gives local context of 8,432 citizens, 527 square miles, and 10 deputies, while Census QuickFacts lists a July 1, 2025 county estimate of 8,397 residents. Current custody still requires direct confirmation from the jail or another official locator.
Maries County Jail Visitation
The Maries County Jail Division page confirms that visitation and legal counsel are inmate services, but it does not publish a visitor schedule, remote video provider, mail format, phone vendor, commissary vendor, deposit link, dress code, visit length, child visitor rule, or attorney visit schedule. Because those details were not published on the official sheriff site, the safest instruction is to call the jail before traveling, sending funds, or mailing personal items.
| Topic | Published Maries County finding |
|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Confirmed as an inmate service, but no public schedule located |
| Video visitation | Not published on the official sheriff site |
| Visitor ID / dress code | Not published on the official sheriff site |
| Attorney visits | Legal counsel is mentioned, but no schedule page was found |
| Mail rules | Not published on the official sheriff site |
| Commissary / deposits | No local vendor or fee schedule published |
| Best action | Call 573-422-3381 before visiting, mailing, or sending money |
State prison rules should not be copied onto Maries County Jail. MODOC has its own visitor applications, criminal-history checks, ID rules, visitor limits, JPay money transfer, MoneyGram receive code, and prison mail procedures. Those rules apply to state prison and state supervision, not to the county jail unless the sheriff separately adopts or publishes a local process.
Note: Confirm custody, visit status, and money rules with the jail before leaving home or sending funds.
Maries County Jail Records
The sheriff's Report Request Form is the local path for report and photo requests when the public roster does not provide what is needed. The form asks for requester contact fields, incident date, incident location, type of report, involved parties, reason for request, delivery choice, email confirmation, and signature. Delivery options shown in the research are emailed, mailed, or pickup in office.
| Requested item | Published fee or timing |
|---|---|
| Report request | $10 per report |
| Extra report pages | $0.10 per page after 2 pages |
| Photo with report | $5 per photo |
| Payment timing | Fees must be paid in advance |
| Office action | Within 3 business days after request date |
Missouri records law creates access to many arrest and incident records, but it does not make every jail record public in every situation. The sheriff form itself lists active investigation, closed case or nolle dismissal under RSMo 610.105, closed record under RSMo 610.120, and arrest expunged under RSMo 610.122 as reasons a report may not be released. Arrest and incident records are governed by RSMo 610.100. County jail custody is also tied to sheriff duties under RSMo 221.020 and the duty to receive prisoners under RSMo 221.040.
Maries County Jail Booking
Booking is the jail intake event after arrest. For Maries County, the sheriff's Jail Division page defines booking and intake as processing individuals upon arrest, including identification, documentation, and initial housing. A person may arrive after arrest by a sheriff's deputy, Belle officer, state trooper, or another authorized officer. Intake can include identity checks, fingerprint or Live Scan steps, property handling, basic screening, classification, housing, and later release, court transport, transfer, or continued detention.
Missouri law gives the process its legal frame. RSMo 221.040 requires sheriffs and jailers to receive people lawfully apprehended or committed to jail. RSMo 221.120 addresses necessary medical, dental, or medicine care for sick county-jail prisoners when the jailer judges it necessary. RSMo 221.510 requires a local, state, or federal warrant check before a prisoner is released or transferred. That means a listed bond or expected release time can change if another warrant, hold, detainer, or court order appears.
- Booking
- The jail intake event after arrest.
- Detainer
- A hold from another agency or jurisdiction that may block release.
- PR bond
- Release on a promise to appear, if the court allows it.
- No-bond hold
- A custody status where payment alone will not release the person.
Maries County Custody Channels
Maries County Jail is the local jail channel. Case.net is the court channel once a public case exists. MODOC is the state prison, probation, and parole channel. BOP is the federal prison locator for federal inmates from 1982 to the present. ICE ODLS is the immigration detention lookup for people currently in ICE custody or in CBP custody for more than 48 hours. MOVANS / VINELink is a notification channel for custody or court changes, not a full jail roster.
| Where to search | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Maries County Jail | Local pretrial custody and court-ordered county jail sentences |
| Missouri Case.net | Filed charges, hearings, warrants, bond entries, docket entries, and dispositions |
| MODOC Offender Web Search | Active state offenders, including probationers and parolees |
| BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates and federal custody after transfer or sentence |
| ICE ODLS | Immigration detention searches by A-Number or biographical details |
| MOVANS / VINELink | Custody and court-event notifications for registered users |
No state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center was found physically in Maries County in the official facility lists reviewed. The Maries County inmate population is therefore best understood as one local jail plus outside systems for sentenced, federal, immigration, and notification records.
Maries County Jail History
Maries County has a historic jail reference that should not be confused with the current detention facility. The Old Jail Museum, also known as the Maries County Jail and Sheriff's Residence, is a historic Vienna building. Research notes identify it as built in the 1856 to 1858 period, constructed with rough-cut native limestone blocks, moved in 1959, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
That historic building is local jail history, not the present custody site. Current inmate lookup, booking questions, visitation confirmation, and report requests should be directed to the sheriff's office and jail at 211 4th Street or through the official sheriff channels.
