Henry County Jail Facility Details

The Henry County Jail is located in Clinton, which sits in the central part of western Missouri. The facility holds pre-trial detainees who are awaiting hearings as well as sentenced individuals serving shorter terms. The jail books individuals arrested by the Henry County Sheriff's Office and by other law enforcement agencies operating in the county.

The jail is staffed around the clock. When someone is booked, they go through property inventory, a medical screening, and standard intake procedures before being assigned to a housing area. Classification is based on charge type, history, and other factors to maintain order and safety inside the facility.

Ten detention officers work at the facility, supervised by Sergeant Fenner and Captain Boyd, along with Corporals Miller, Gillespie, Adams, and Humphreys. This team manages the day-to-day inmate population and handles all intake and release functions.
