Lewis County Jail Roster
The official Lewis County Sheriff's Office site identifies Sheriff David Parrish and gives the jail and Sheriff's Office contact path for local custody questions. The jail page says the current Lewis County Jail has operated continuously since 1997, has capacity for 18 inmates, and often has a daily population of 9 to 13 inmates depending on the year. Most inmates are held on pretrial state charges filed by the Lewis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, with detention services also provided for neighboring counties and municipalities when needed.
The public roster has current inmate and released inmate paths, including a 48-hour release list. It is useful for current bookings, release checks, bond checks, and basic charge review. It is not a substitute for a certified court disposition, a complete arrest report, or a Missouri Department of Corrections record. A person with a Lewis County Circuit Court case may appear in Case.net even if they are not in county custody. A sentenced state offender may appear through Missouri DOC even after leaving the county jail.
Use the Lewis County Inmate Roster
The researched roster provides tabs and links for current inmates, released inmates, date sorting, name sorting, a name search, and profile links. Because custody status can change quickly, roster use should be paired with a direct call to the jail before making a trip, arranging bond, or relying on a release assumption.
- Open the official Lewis County Sheriff's Office roster path for current inmates or the release list.
- Use the search-by-name box when a full name is known, or sort by booking date to review recent entries.
- Check the booking number, age, booking date, charges, and bond fields on matching roster results.
- Open the profile link when available for the public booking profile tied to that roster result.
- Call 573-767-5287 for current custody, bond, visit, or commissary questions before acting on a roster result.
Lewis County Inmate Search Fields
The roster field inventory is unusually specific because the research captured the visible controls. Some controls are links or tabs instead of text boxes. The search-by-name field routes entered terms to the roster search path, while the current and released tabs determine which population is shown. Use the fewest terms that clearly identify the person, then verify the result against booking date and charge text.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Link/tab | Optional | Sorts the roster by name. |
| Date | Link/tab | Optional | Sorts the roster by booking or release date. |
| Current | Link/tab | Optional | Shows current Lewis County inmates. |
| Released | Link/tab | Optional | Shows released inmates, including the 48-hour release path. |
| Sort Newest to Oldest | Link | Optional | Sorts by booking time descending. |
| Sort Oldest to Newest | Link | Optional | Sorts by booking time ascending. |
| Search By Name | Text | Optional | Routes entered terms to the roster search path. |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs the entered name search. |
| Show All | Button/link | n/a | Clears the name filter. |
Lewis County Inmate Profile Fields
The roster result fields observed in the research included full name, booking number, age, booking date, charge text, bond, and a profile link. Examples observed on the June 2026 roster included charges such as peace disturbance, out-of-state warrant, stealing, and DWI. Because inmate status changes, the public fields should be treated as current booking data, not as a permanent case outcome.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | The full public name shown in the roster result or profile card. |
| Booking number | The jail booking identifier for the custody event. |
| Age | The age shown with the roster entry. |
| Booking date | The date and time format shown by the roster for that booking. |
| Charges | Charge text associated with the booking, such as DWI or warrant-related entries. |
| Bond amount | The bond amount when posted publicly on the roster. |
| Profile link | A link to the public profile page for more roster detail when available. |
| Fields not observed | Height, weight, race, sex, housing pod, medical flags, and projected release were not observed in the public roster output. |
Lewis County Jail Facility
Lewis County has one researched local jail facility. The Sheriff's administration page says the office is directly behind the courthouse and that the public entrance is on the east side. Chief Deputy Jerrod Eisenberg is identified as Jail Administrator in the research, and the same Sheriff's Office contact line is used for jail information.

Monticello, MO 63457

Lewis County Booking Records
A Lewis County booking record starts on the jail side, while the prosecution and court file develop through the Lewis County Prosecuting Attorney and Circuit Court. The jail page states that most people in the facility are held on pretrial state charges filed by the Prosecuting Attorney's Office. That means a booking charge may be connected to a pending court case, a warrant, or a hold, but the roster entry alone does not prove a conviction.
For charge outcomes, compare the roster with the court file. Case.net and the Circuit Court Clerk can show filed charges, plea, disposition, sentence, bond orders, failures to appear, and later amendments. The Lewis County arrest records and court charges page is the better place to compare an arrest-side booking entry with the court charge that follows.
Record limit: The detention center states roster information is provided for convenience and cannot be certified for accuracy or authenticity.
Lewis County Custody Search Channels
The local roster covers county jail custody. It does not replace other official searches. Missouri DOC handles sentenced offenders under Department of Corrections supervision. The Missouri State Highway Patrol sex-offender registry covers registered sex offenders, not all inmates. Sheriff contact and records requests may help with jail or law-enforcement records, but investigative material can be closed under RSMo 610.100.
| Search Need | Official Channel | Use Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Current Lewis County custody | Sheriff jail roster and 573-767-5287 | Roster changes with booking and release activity. |
| Recent release | 48-hour release list | Short lookback, not a full custody history. |
| Sentenced state offender | Missouri DOC offender search | State supervision, not county jail roster. |
| Registered sex offender | MSHP sex-offender registry | Registry status only, not all charges or inmates. |
| Court case status | Case.net or Circuit Court Clerk | Case file, not jail housing detail. |
| Mobile Sheriff access | Lewis County MO Sheriff app | Mobile access to Sheriff tools, alerts, inmates, most wanted, and tips. |
Lewis County Jail Visitation
A detailed official Lewis County visitation schedule, mail policy, video-visitation vendor, phone vendor, deposit kiosk instruction, and attorney-visitation schedule were not located in the official Sheriff pages reviewed. The jail page provides facility information, capacity, custody purpose, Tiger Commissary access, and roster links. Because no official visit days or hours were found, the responsible action is to call the jail before traveling.
| Day | Published Public Visitation Hours | Research Status |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call 573-767-5287 before visiting. |
| Tuesday | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call 573-767-5287 before visiting. |
| Wednesday | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call 573-767-5287 before visiting. |
| Thursday | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call 573-767-5287 before visiting. |
| Friday | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call 573-767-5287 before visiting. |
| Saturday | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call 573-767-5287 before visiting. |
| Sunday | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call 573-767-5287 before visiting. |
Ask whether visits are in person or video, what photo ID is required, whether children may visit, what dress rules apply, and whether attorney visits use a separate process. Do not rely on general jail advice from other counties for Lewis County visits.
Lewis County Inmate Commissary
The jail page states that commissary services are provided through Tiger Commissary and links to the Tiger Commissary order site. The research did not locate official local deposit limits, kiosk directions, phone-account vendor rules, or mail rules. Use the official jail page link rather than sponsored search ads, and confirm with jail staff if an order deadline or inmate eligibility question matters.
Because the facility is small, calls can often resolve basic questions faster than guessing from a roster entry. The Sheriff site also offers mobile app access to inmates, alerts, FAQs, special alerts, contact-us messages, and crime tips. The app should be treated as another Sheriff access point, not as a certified record source.
Lewis County Roster Accuracy
The roster disclaimer says information is collected, maintained, and provided for convenience. It also says the detention center cannot certify accuracy or authenticity. That matters when a person is checking bond, employment-sensitive facts, a court date, or a warrant-related booking. For official copies, certified dispositions, or proof of outcome, use the Circuit Court Clerk and Case.net rather than the jail roster alone.
A roster charge can change after prosecutor review, amendment, dismissal, plea, or sentencing. A release from jail does not end the court case. A bond amount on a booking record may not show every later condition. When the question is whether a charge became a conviction, use the court file, not the custody page.
