St. Charles County Department of Corrections

The St. Charles County DOC is located at 301 N. Second Street in downtown St. Charles. Director Daniel Keen oversees the facility. The jail has a capacity of 592 inmates and handles bookings for all cities in the county, including St. Charles, O'Fallon, and St. Peters.

When someone gets released from the St. Charles County jail, the release record stays in the county system. The St. Charles County jail roster is the fastest way to check who is currently in custody. The roster lists names, charges, booking dates, and bond amounts. It gets updated on a regular basis. For released inmates who are no longer in the roster, you may need to call the DOC or check court records for case outcomes.

In-person visits at the county jail run for 60 minutes and are allowed every other week. The facility also offers remote video visitation, which makes it easier for families to stay in touch. These details matter if you are trying to track an inmate who is still in custody before release.

Note: The county jail roster shows current inmates, but recently released inmates may still appear for a short time after release.
