Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail Overview
Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail is located at 102 N Meadows Lane, Pattonsburg, MO 64670, with phone 660-367-2200 and fax 660-367-2579. The operator is the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail District. The research identifies it as a regional county detention facility serving sentenced and non-sentenced detainees for Daviess, DeKalb, and contract counties or municipalities. Ray County detainees were among the people housed outside Ray County when Ray County Jail closed in January 2025.
The official jail site describes services across corrections, court security, food services, transportation, and medical services. It names Director Dawn Ely, Captain Dustin White, and Administrative Assistant Haley Dilley. The corrections staffing structure in the research includes a director, captain, two lieutenants, four sergeants, and 23 officers, with 31 custody staff total. That staffing detail is important because Daviess-DeKalb was not just a temporary holding location; it operates as a full regional jail with transportation, medical, and court-security support.
Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail Capacity and Population
The official Daviess-DeKalb home and corrections pages list a design capacity of 160 detainees. Research Section 15 uses that official source for the capacity figure. The page should not claim a current population number unless the jail publishes one, because the captured research supplies capacity but not a verified live count. For Ray County readers, the key population fact is the January 2025 transfer event: KSHB reported that 47 Ray County detainees were transported to Harrison County, Lafayette County, and Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail when the Ray jail closed.
Because Daviess-DeKalb is a contract and regional facility, a person listed there may have a case in another county. The jail's own FAQ says court dates are not given by the jail and that users should contact the county of interest. For a Ray County case, that means using Ray County Circuit Court and Missouri Case.net for charges, bond orders, hearings, and dispositions, even if the person was physically housed in Pattonsburg.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail
Daviess-DeKalb's official resources include a detainee search link, although the direct form was not fully exposed in the research crawl. Use the official jail website first, then call 660-367-2200 if the search is unavailable, incomplete, or does not confirm the person. For Ray County cases, call Ray County Jail or Sheriff's Office first when the arrest is local to Ray County. Ray County can tell the caller whether the person is currently in Henrietta, in a 24-hour hold, released, or housed at Daviess-DeKalb as a contract detainee.
- Start with the official Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail website and look for the detainee search or resources area.
- Search by name when the detainee search is available, then confirm the housing facility and any booking status shown.
- Call 660-367-2200 if the website does not answer whether the person is there.
- For a Ray County arrest, search Missouri Case.net for the formal Ray County court case and next hearing.
- If the person has been sentenced to state prison, use the Missouri DOC Offender Search instead of a regional jail search.

Visiting Someone at Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail
Daviess-DeKalb uses video visitation for regular visits. The research states that visits are by appointment through NCIC or the linked InmateCanteen path, and that there are no regular in-house visits except legal representation. The jail treats visitation as a privilege that can be revoked, and security needs can prevent a scheduled visit from going forward. If the facility cannot facilitate a visit for security or operational reasons, rescheduling may be required.
| Visit Type | Scheduling | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Regular visitation | Video appointment through NCIC / InmateCanteen path | No regular in-house visits listed |
| Legal representation | Handled separately from regular video visits | Confirm procedure with the jail |
| Ray County detainee housed there | Use Daviess-DeKalb visit rules | Ray court dates still come from the court, not the jail |
The official Daviess-DeKalb visitation page captured in the manifest is available at Daviess-DeKalb visitation rules.
This screenshot is relevant because regular visits at this regional jail are video-based, so confirming the appointment path matters before a family member plans around an in-person visit.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail
Daviess-DeKalb's official FAQ gives more detail than Ray County's official pages. Phones are outgoing collect calls unless the prisoner buys a calling card, and family can purchase phone time. Money may be brought or mailed as a money order, paid by credit card at the jail, or handled through a JailATM or InmateCanteen-linked option. The research warns that two-party checks are not accepted and that money should not be wired to the jail.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use the facility address and confirm inmate-name format before sending |
| Phone | Outgoing collect calls or prisoner calling card; family may buy phone time |
| Money Deposit | Money order, credit card at jail, or JailATM/InmateCanteen link; no two-party checks |
| Books / Bible | Limited soft-backed books or Bible direct from distributor |
| Medical items | Prescription glasses and qualifying unopened current prescriptions may be allowed under facility rules |

Booking, Transfer, and Court Movement
Daviess-DeKalb can receive sentenced and non-sentenced detainees from its member counties and from contract agencies. During the Ray County Jail closure, it served as one of the outside facilities for Ray detainees. That can create two separate tracks for a family member to follow. Physical custody questions, visits, mail, deposits, phone time, and medical concerns go to Daviess-DeKalb if the person is housed there. Ray County court charges, bond orders, and future hearings remain with the court of the county where the case is filed.
The facility reports medical support including LPN nursing seven days a week, a doctor weekly, an on-call doctor around the clock, pharmacy support, and emergency extractions. Prescription medications must meet facility rules, and narcotics require facility physician approval. For medical emergencies, do not rely on a website search. Call the facility and, when appropriate, coordinate through the detainee's attorney.
About Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail
Daviess-DeKalb is historically notable because the research describes it as the first regional jail of its kind in Missouri. Daviess and DeKalb formed the jail district in May 2005, voters approved a half-cent sales tax in November 2005, and the facility opened February 15, 2006 after purchasing Midwest Security Housing. It rents bed space to other agencies, which explains why a Ray County detainee may appear there even though Pattonsburg is outside Ray County.
Note: Confirm the detainee's location, video visit setup, mail rules, and deposit method with Daviess-DeKalb before acting.
