Stone County Detention Center Overview
Stone County Detention Center, also called Stone County Jail in local jail rules, is operated by the Stone County Sheriff's Office. The facility is a county jail and local detention center at 110 South Maple Street in Galena, Missouri. The same South Maple location is part of the county justice campus, with the Sheriff's Office, jail, and Stone County Judicial Center functions clustered in Galena.
The facility holds more than one type of detainee. Current roster examples include people awaiting prosecution, people booked on serious felony allegations, possession cases, warrants, parole or white-warrant detainers, other-agency holds, and court-sentenced or ADC-style language. That mix means a Stone County Detention Center inmate may be pretrial, locally sentenced, waiting on a warrant case, or blocked from release because of a hold from another authority.
No official rated capacity, bed count, pod list, expansion history, or accreditation detail was located in the reviewed Stone County sources. The facility should not be described as over capacity or under capacity without a published bed count. The public roster is a live lookup source, not a certified population report.
Stone County Detention Center Capacity and Population
Stone County-specific jail population reporting is limited. The official capacity was not located in the sheriff jail division pages, roster pages, county site, or public jail data sources reviewed for the research file. A date-stamped public roster count is useful for current context, but it changes as people are booked, released, transferred, or held for court.
| Measure | Figure | Source and Date |
|---|---|---|
| Current public roster count | Around 80 observed current inmates | Stone County Sheriff current roster, June 20, 2026 snapshot |
| Released roster window | 48 hours | Stone County Detention Center roster gateway, 2026 |
| Historic local prisoners | 41 at Stone County Law Enforcement Center | Prison Policy Initiative table drawing BJS Census of Jail Facilities 2013, survey date 12/31/2013 |

How to Look Up an Inmate at Stone County Detention Center
The official local search source is the Stone County Detention Center roster gateway at stonecountymosheriff.com/roster-choose. It separates Current Inmates from the 48 Hour Release list. The current roster is best for people believed to be in custody now. The release list is best for someone released from the Detention Center within the last 48 hours.
- Open the roster gateway and choose Current Inmates for current custody or 48 Hour Release for very recent release.
- Use the visible name search or sort controls when the list is long.
- Review the list entry for mugshot thumbnail, booking number, booking date, charges, bond, and profile link.
- Open the profile for the larger public booking details and the jail's warning that charges and bail may change after court appearances.
- Call jail staff at 417-357-6116 before posting bond or relying on the bond amount, charges, or case number.
The roster does not replace court records. Use Missouri Case.net for filed charges, docket events, court dates, and dispositions after an arrest. Use the Missouri Department of Corrections offender search after a person is sentenced or transferred into state custody. Use VINELink for custody-status monitoring and notification when available.
Stone County Detention Center Address and Contact

Visiting Someone at Stone County Detention Center
Stone County's visitation PDF says personal visitation is scheduled by the Sheriff and Jail Captain, with allotted times posted in each block. Published research did not locate a universal public day-by-day schedule, so visitors should confirm the inmate's block schedule before traveling. Visits are 30 minutes per inmate. Each inmate may have two visitors, or one adult with two minor children.
| Visit Rule | Stone County Detail |
|---|---|

Mail, Phone, and Money at Stone County Detention Center
Stone County publishes detailed mail rules. Outgoing mail is collected nightly during bedtime medication pass only. Outgoing mail should not be sealed by the inmate, except protected communications such as attorney, doctor, or clergy mail. Incoming mail is logged, opened, and inspected, with attorney, judge, and congressional mail opened in the inmate's presence. Mail for released inmates is returned to sender.

Booking and Intake at Stone County Detention Center
Stone County does not publish a full booking-process manual, but the roster fields show the core intake data. A person booked into the jail receives a booking number and a public profile may show name, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date, charges, bond, mugshot, and a View Profile link. The inspected sample did not show height, weight, date of birth, housing unit, court date, case number, warrant number, statute number, or projected release date.
Booking charge text can change after court appearances. The jail profile warning says charges and bail amounts may change and may not be current. For correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers, bond companies and people posting bail should contact Detention Center staff at 417-357-6116. That is especially important when a person has a parole detainer, white warrant, other-agency hold, or return-to-facility language.
When the Stone County Jail Roster Is Not the Right Search
Stone County Detention Center is the local jail, not a Missouri state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility. No Missouri Department of Corrections state prison, federal Bureau of Prisons facility, ICE detention facility, or dedicated U.S. Marshals contract detention center was located inside Stone County. After a conviction and transfer to state custody, the county roster may no longer be the correct lookup source.
| Custody Situation | Use This Source | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Current Stone County jail custody | Stone County Detention Center current roster | Covers local current inmates. |
| Released from Stone County jail very recently | 48 Hour Release roster | Covers persons released from the Detention Center within the last 48 hours. |
| Filed criminal case after arrest | Missouri Case.net | Covers charges, docket entries, court dates, and dispositions. |
| State prison, probation, or parole | Missouri Department of Corrections offender search | Covers active MODOC-supervised offenders, subject to exclusions. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | Covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Covers persons currently in ICE custody or CBP custody more than 48 hours. |
About Stone County Detention Center
The facility's public record footprint is strongest for roster lookup, jail mail, visitation rules, commissary, and phone-time routing. The Sheriff's Corrections Division page links Access Corrections for commissary funds and HomeWAV for phone-time funds. It also lists jail staff labels and jail-related contacts. Research did not locate a local annual jail report, aggregate demographic dashboard, program schedule, grievance procedure, medical policy, or official capacity page.
For local court proximity, Stone County Circuit Court is also at the South Maple judicial-center location, with the court on the 2nd floor of the Stone County Judicial Center. Court records, filed charges, and dispositions are handled through the Circuit Clerk and Case.net, while the jail handles custody, bond verification, visitation, mail, and booking records.
Note: Confirm custody, bond, visitation, and mail rules with Stone County Detention Center before traveling or sending funds.
