About the Clinton County Jail

Built in the matching red brick that most of the street consists of, the 32-bed Clinton County Jail is partnered with the Sheriff’s Office and courthouse to provide all incarceration needs for the community. Up to 40 inmates of Clinton County are held here at one time, on either misdemeanor or felony charges, and they will remain both before their trial and after their sentence has been provided.

A roster is maintained and updated every 24 hours to provide status updates on all inmates and detainees and staff are able to provide information on bail and other procedures along with some information about inmates by calling 816-539-2156.

The Clinton County Jail provides for all of the physical needs of inmates from nutrition to medical care, and the mental health needs through classes, programs, and contact with their loved ones.

Inmates can make commissary purchases once each week with money that is added to their inmate account by those who are not incarcerated. Adding money to the account of an inmate can be done either at the kiosk that is located within the lobby of the jail or through online access.

As studies have shown that contact with family members and friends during incarceration can improve mental health of inmates and thus improve the safety of the facility, there are several ways to communicate with an inmate including mail, phone calls, and visits.

Phone calls are prepaid, and inmates may only make outgoing calls with no incoming calls accepted. To add money to the prepaid phone account there is a kiosk in the lobby and there is also online access, in addition to the ability to leave a voicemail for inmates who have earned that privilege.

In addition, messages, video visits, and sending photos is also available with no limit on how any messages or photos that can be sent. This system requires an account that can be made online and there is a small fee for each of the messages, video or other, that are sent.

Traditional mail services are also provided by the post office with mail delivery and pick up occurring each weekday to:

Inmate's Full Name & Inmate ID#
Clinton County Jail
207 N. Main St - Ste 6
Plattsburg, MO 64477

... and each piece of mail that enters or leaves the building will be checked for contraband first to prevent items from entering the jail that may be dangerous to those within.

Fifteen (15) minute visits are provided for all inmates unless they lose the privilege for a period of time, and there is both offsite access and kiosks onsite for those who do not have other access. Visits may occur Monday through Friday 5pm-10pm or Saturday and Sunday 8am-10pm and scheduled through an online account

The jail has been operational since 1972, and is way overcrowded. Recently Platte County, which is proposing a new 471 bed jail, has contacted this county to see if they want to commit to a certain number of the beds in advance of construction to help defray the cost of building it.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Clinton County Jail?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Call the Clinton County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
