Bollinger County Jail Overview
Bollinger County Jail is operated by the Bollinger County Sheriff's Office. Official state and county directory sources place the jail and sheriff's office at the same High Street location in Marble Hill, the county seat. The facility is a county jail, not a Missouri Department of Corrections prison and not a federal or immigration detention center. Its local role is to receive adult arrestees, hold people before first appearance or bond review, keep people on Bollinger County warrants, house short county sentences, and hold people briefly while another agency or court process takes over.
Missouri law supports that local role. RSMo 221.020 provides that sheriffs are jailers except where the law says otherwise, and RSMo 221.040 requires jailers to receive people committed by lawful authority. In practical terms, a person arrested by a county deputy, a local officer, a warrant officer, or another Missouri law-enforcement agency may pass through Bollinger County Jail if the arrest is handled locally. Sentenced state prisoners, federal prisoners, and immigration detainees use different systems after transfer.
Bollinger County Jail Population
No current official capacity, daily population dashboard, or crowding report for Bollinger County Jail was located in official Bollinger County sources. Outside jail directories report a small jail of roughly 17 beds, but that number is not treated as an official capacity. The one higher-authority facility count located was in Prisoners of the Census Missouri correctional population data, which lists Bollinger County Jail with a local jail population count of 22 on December 31, 2013.
That older count helps confirm the scale of the jail, but it should not be used as a current roster count. Small rural jails can change quickly as people bond out, go to court, move to another county, enter a hospital, or transfer to MODOC after sentencing. No reliable source in the research gave a current average daily population, annual booking count, demographic split, sex breakdown, or felony versus misdemeanor mix for Bollinger County Jail. Current custody must be confirmed with the sheriff's office.
Search Bollinger County Jail Custody
No official Bollinger County Jail online roster was located on a confirmed sheriff, county, state, or vendor domain. Private sites with similar names should not be treated as the official jail roster. For current county jail custody, start with the Bollinger County Sheriff's Office, then use Missouri court, state prison, victim-notification, federal, and immigration tools only when the local path does not match the custody status.
A recent arrest may not be visible in any public system right away. The person may still be in transport, waiting on paperwork, in court, at a hospital, held by another county, or not yet fully booked. For more detail about the broader lookup path, Bollinger County jail inmate records cover current and released custody records.
- Call Bollinger County Jail at 573-238-2633 and ask for current booking or jail custody information.
- Give the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, and arresting agency.
- Ask whether the person is booked, whether bond is set, what court or warrant controls the case, and whether another hold blocks release.
- If phone release is limited, visit the sheriff counter or send a written Sunshine Law request for booking records.
- If the person has been sentenced or transferred, search the Missouri DOC offender search, BOP inmate locator, ICE detainee locator, and VINELink as the facts require.
Bollinger County Jail Contact
The Missouri Department of Public Safety Bollinger County directory lists the sheriff's office address, mailing address, phone, and fax. That state directory is the cleanest source for the jail contact block because no separate official jail desk number was located.
The directory screenshot supports using the sheriff's office number for jail information unless a later official source publishes a separate booking desk line.

Bollinger County Jail Visiting
No official local visitation schedule, video-visitation provider, approved visitor procedure, dress code, or visit-length rule was located for Bollinger County Jail. Do not travel to Marble Hill for a visit without calling first. Staff can confirm whether public visits are in person or by video, whether visitors must be approved ahead of time, what government photo ID is required, and whether jail movement, court transport, lockdown, or staffing affects the visit window.
Because the jail is small and local, the safest planning step is to confirm custody before asking about a visit. A person may bond out, transfer to another county, move to MODOC after sentencing, or be picked up by another agency before a scheduled visit. Visitors from Glen Allen, Sedgewickville, Zalma, or rural parts of Bollinger County should also ask about the public entrance, parking, prohibited items, child visitor rules, accessibility needs, and whether attorney or clergy visits follow a separate process.

Bollinger County Jail Mail
No official mail policy, inmate ID format, postcard rule, book vendor rule, commissary vendor, deposit kiosk, online money vendor, phone provider, video account provider, or fee table was located for Bollinger County Jail. The county jail should not be assigned a vendor by guess. JPay, for example, is documented for Missouri DOC prison deposits, not for this county jail. Call the jail before mailing anything, creating a phone account, or sending money.
For mail, ask whether the envelope needs the facility name, the inmate's full legal name, a booking number, and the street or mailing address. Also ask whether photos, books, magazines, greeting cards, stamps, and money orders are accepted or rejected. For funds, ask whether deposits can be made at the jail, by mail, by kiosk, online, or through a vendor, and whether fees or weekly commissary cutoffs apply.

Bollinger County Jail Booking
Official Bollinger County Jail intake instructions were not located, so booking should be described only in general local-jail terms. A typical path begins with arrest by a deputy, city officer, state trooper, or warrant officer, followed by transport to the sheriff's jail. Intake may include an identity check, property inventory, records entry, fingerprinting, a booking photo if agency policy requires it, safety and medical screening, classification, bond or hold review, phone access, and placement in a cell or temporary holding area.
The jail booking charge is not always the final court charge. After intake, bond and first appearance depend on the warrant, alleged offense, judge availability, prosecutor review, and whether another agency has a hold. RSMo 544.455 allows release on recognizance or conditions for bailable offenses when appearance can be reasonably assured, but a no-bond warrant, probation or parole hold, extradition case, federal hold, ICE detainer, or medical clearance issue can still block release.
- Booking
- Jail intake after arrest, including identity, records, property, and custody status steps.
- Detainer
- A hold from another agency that may keep a person in custody after local bond is addressed.
- Classification
- A jail safety and management review used to decide housing or supervision level.
- Personal recognizance
- Release based on a signed promise and court conditions instead of paying a full cash amount.
About Bollinger County Jail
Bollinger County Jail sits in Marble Hill, where county government offices cluster around High Street. Research did not locate a separate county annex, work-release center, city jail, Missouri DOC prison, BOP facility, or ICE detention center inside Bollinger County. The local custody map is therefore narrow: recent local arrests and short county jail custody run through the sheriff, while state prison, federal, and immigration custody must be checked through their own systems.
Recent local law-enforcement context also points readers back to the sheriff's office. Local news reported that Marble Hill police staffing disruption in 2024 made sheriff coverage especially important for the city, and later reporting said Stanley "Stash" Petton Jr. won the July 8, 2025 special election for sheriff after Casey Graham's resignation. Official directory pages still list the office rather than confirming every leadership detail, so the operational contact remains the Bollinger County Sheriff's Office at the jail address.
No official local jail program list, accreditation record, medical provider policy, grievance policy, tablet program, or work-release program was located. If a family member has urgent medication, withdrawal, suicide-risk, disability, or mental-health information, call the jail immediately and ask how to get that information to staff. For wider county custody context and older population figures, the Bollinger County inmate population overview separates current jail custody from DOC, federal, and immigration custody.
