Booking Process and Inmate Classification

When someone is arrested in Nodaway County, they are transported to the jail at 404 N. Vine Street for booking. The process includes recording identifying information, photographing, fingerprinting, and a medical screening. Any property carried by the individual is inventoried and stored until release. Bond is set based on the charges filed, either by a judge or through the standard bond schedule.

After booking, the new inmate is placed in a housing unit. Classification is based on charge type, criminal history, and other risk factors. Pre-trial detainees who cannot post bond stay in custody until their case is resolved in court. Sentenced inmates serving terms of up to one year may also be held at the county facility. Those sentenced to longer terms are transferred to the Missouri Department of Corrections.
