The question determines the next office. Use these routes instead of sending sensitive personal information to this site.
- For a released person or jail exit record, use the Dent County release search and records path, then contact the sheriff.
- For parole, probation, conditional release, or the assigned field office, use the post-release supervision page and Missouri DOC office directory.
- For same-day jail exits, follow the 24-hour release request method; Dent County has no verified public rolling feed.
- For an expected date or notification, compare the projected-date and MOVANS routes listed in the release-record navigation.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, search Missouri DOC and direct a specific question to the institutional caseworker or field officer.
- For a court order or disposition, use Case.net or the Dent County Circuit Clerk at 112 E. Fifth Street, 573-729-3931 or 573-729-9414, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- For federal or immigration custody, use BOP, ICE, the federal court, or the relevant U.S. Marshals district rather than the county jail.
