Warren County inmate population records are managed by the Warren County Sheriff's Office in Warrenton, Missouri. This page covers how to find current inmates, read the weekly arrest report, use VineLink, and request records under Missouri's Sunshine Law.

Warren County Sheriff's Office and Jail

The Warren County Sheriff's Office is located at 104 West Main St., Suite A, Warrenton, MO 63383. The main phone number is 636-456-4332. Sheriff Kevin Harrison leads the department. The jail's corrections division is overseen by Lieutenant Eric Schlueter and Sergeant Ashley Andrews, supported by approximately 30 correctional officers.

The Warren County Jail was built in 1997 and has a capacity of 156 beds. This is a medium-to-large capacity facility for a county of this size. Warren County had a 2020 population of 35,532, making it one of the faster-growing counties in eastern Missouri due to its proximity to St. Louis. The jail processes a regular volume of new bookings that reflects both the county's growth and its location along I-70.

The sheriff's office posts weekly arrest reports on its website. These reports include mugshots and basic booking information for everyone arrested that week. This is one of the more transparent public disclosure practices among Missouri county sheriffs. The reports are available to anyone without a formal records request. For current custody status, call 636-456-4332 or check the sheriff's website for the latest weekly report.

The Missouri DOC Offender Search at web.mo.gov/doc/offSearchWeb/ covers Warren County residents who have been transferred to state prison after sentencing in circuit court.

How to Search Warren County Inmate Population

Check the Warren County Sheriff's website for the weekly arrest report. These reports are posted regularly and include mugshots and booking details. They give a good picture of recent arrests without requiring a formal records request. If you need current custody status, call 636-456-4332. Staff can confirm by name whether someone is in custody and provide basic booking information.

VineLink at vinelink.com provides inmate search and custody notification services for Warren County. Search by name to check status. Register for free alerts to receive notifications by phone, email, or text when an inmate is released or transferred. This works across county and state facilities, so you do not need to contact different agencies as an inmate moves through the system.

For state prison inmates, use the Missouri DOC offender search at web.mo.gov/doc/offSearchWeb/. Warren County inmates sentenced to more than one year are transferred to a DOC facility after court. Once that transfer happens, the county jail no longer holds them and the DOC database is where you will find their location.

Weekly Arrest Reports and Booking Records

The Warren County Sheriff's Office publishes weekly arrest reports with mugshots on its website. This is a voluntary transparency practice that provides public access to recent booking data without requiring formal records requests. The reports typically appear within days of the week they cover. If you are looking for a recent arrest, the weekly report may be the fastest way to find it.

Full booking records at Warren County Jail include the inmate's name, date of birth, booking date, arresting agency, charges, and bond information. These records are maintained by the sheriff's office and are public under Missouri's Sunshine Law. For records not available in the weekly report, submit a written request to the Warren County Sheriff's Office at 104 West Main St., Suite A, Warrenton, MO 63383.

The jail's 30-officer corrections staff handles booking and records management. Lieutenant Schlueter and Sergeant Andrews oversee the corrections division. For records questions, call 636-456-4332 and ask to speak with the records custodian. Include your name and contact information in any written request, along with a description of the records needed.

Visitation and Communication

To visit an inmate at Warren County Jail, call 636-456-4332 to confirm current visitation hours and rules. You must be on the inmate's approved visitor list. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Walk-ins without prior approval may be turned away. The jail may occasionally suspend visitation for security or operational reasons, so always call ahead.

Mail policies should be confirmed before sending anything to an inmate. Call the jail to find out if they accept standard letters or postcards only. Many Missouri county jails have moved to postcard-only mail policies. Address mail to the inmate using their full name and the jail address: 104 West Main St., Warrenton, MO 63383 (or the physical jail address if different from the sheriff's office). Do not mail cash or valuable items.

Inmate phone calls are handled through a contracted service. Set up an account with the provider and fund it before the inmate attempts to call. Rates and connection options depend on the county's current phone contract. Ask jail staff which provider is in use. Commissary deposits may be made through a lobby kiosk or online service, depending on the county's vendor arrangement.

Missouri Sunshine Law and Records Access

Warren County inmate population records are public under Chapter 610 RSMo. The Missouri Sunshine Law at § 610.011 presumes all government records are open. The sheriff's office must respond within three business days under § 610.023. Under § 610.026, copy fees are capped at 10 cents per page.

The Missouri Sunshine Law mandates that records like booking logs, arrest reports, and inmate rosters be made available to the public on request. Warren County's weekly arrest report practice reflects this commitment to open records. Submit formal written requests to the Warren County Sheriff's Office at 104 West Main St., Suite A, Warrenton, MO 63383. For court case records, contact the Warren County Circuit Court separately. The court and sheriff's office are separate custodians of different record types.

Missouri's Sunshine Law at revisor.mo.gov sets out the legal requirements for accessing Warren County jail records, including response timelines and allowable fees.
