This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, accept bond, or obtain an official booking record for you. Contact the office that holds the record.
County Jail and Sheriff
Use the Sheriff's Office for a booking at the Cape Girardeau County detention center in Jackson, including a recent release entry, exact release time, disposition, or transfer destination. The published main telephone is answered 24 hours, but that label does not establish administrative records-counter hours. Call before visiting for a records request.

Municipal Jail and Police Records
Use the Police Department Jail Unit for a person held at the separate city facility. No public municipal release list was found. For an exact city-jail release record, submit a request to Police Records through its preferred GovQuest portal. Do not send police, criminal, accident, or jail records to the general city clerk form.

Missouri Corrections Contacts
Use MODOC when a person entered state prison, remains on active parole or probation, or needs a historical state release or final-discharge record. The public Offender Search covers active offenders and expressly excludes discharged offenders. Historical record requests therefore go through the department's Sunshine route.
