Morgan County 48-Hour Released Inmates

Morgan County is one of the few counties in Missouri that publishes a specific list of recently released inmates. The 48-hour released inmates page shows people who were let go from the jail within the last two days. This makes it easy to check on recent releases without having to call the jail or file a records request.

This page is especially useful for anyone tracking a specific person's release status in Morgan County.

The 48-hour list shows the person's name, the charges they were held on, and when they were released. After 48 hours, the record drops off this page. But the booking data stays in the jail's system. If you need older release records, contact the Sheriff's Office at 573-378-5481 and ask about the person by name.
