Camden County Inmate Population
The Camden County inmate population is held locally at the Camden County Detention Center in Camdenton. The jail is run by the Camden County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division, which handles jail administration, court security, supervision, and transportation of incarcerated people from agencies in and outside Camden County. No separate county work-release annex, municipal jail roster, Missouri prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center was found in official Camden County facility sources.
That makes the local jail count easier to map, but it does not make every inmate lookup simple. Arrests from Camdenton, Osage Beach, Linn Creek, Village of the Four Seasons, Sunrise Beach, and other local agencies can still flow into the county jail. A person may be listed as a current inmate, move to the 48-hour release roster, appear later in Case.net as a criminal defendant, or transfer to the Missouri Department of Corrections after sentencing.
Camden County Inmate Population Statistics
The best sourced local capacity figure is the Missouri Sheriffs' Association 2024 jails material, which reports Camden County Detention Center capacity at 147 and average daily population at 110. The official live roster showed 80 current inmates when inspected on June 19, 2026. That live roster count is a point-in-time number, not an annual average, and it can change during the day as people are booked, released, or transferred.
The same roster inspection found 11 people in the 48-hour release view. That release view matters because the Camden County inmate population is not only a bed count. It also creates short-lived public custody records for people who have just left the jail. Older booking history may require a public-records request to the sheriff's Records or Administration route.

|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 147 | Missouri Sheriffs' Association 2024 jails publication snippet |
| Average daily population | 110 | Missouri Sheriffs' Association 2024 jails publication snippet |
| Current roster count | 80 | Official Camden County roster inspected June 19, 2026 |
| 48-hour release roster count | 11 | Official Camden County release roster inspected June 19, 2026 |

Camden County Jail Population Trends
Camden County has a narrow local trend set in the researched sources. The available figures show a local jail count of 109 at the end of 2013, a 2024 average daily population of 110, and a June 2026 live roster count of 80. The 2024 average equals about three quarters of the reported 147-bed capacity, while the 2026 live count equals a little more than half of that capacity. Those percentages should be read with care because daily rosters and yearly averages measure different things.
Statewide context helps explain why a local jail roster can be busy even when it is below capacity on one day. Vera's Missouri incarceration trends material reported that Missouri's jail population rose sharply from 1970 through 2015 and that the 2015 jail population was heavily pretrial. Camden County-specific pretrial, sex, race, or charge-level tables were not located, so the page uses local counts only where the research captured them.
| Date or Year | Population or Count | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|
| 12/31/2013 | 109 local | Prison Policy Initiative correctional facility data for Camden County Jail |
| 2024 publication | 110 ADP | Average daily population in Missouri Sheriffs' Association jail material |
| 06/19/2026 | 80 current | Official roster snapshot, not an annual average |
| 06/19/2026 | 11 released | People listed in the official 48-hour release view |
Who Is in Camden County Custody
The Camden County inmate population includes people arrested by the sheriff, municipal police, state agencies, and outside agencies that use the county detention center for local custody or transportation. Research examples from the public roster included DWI, burglary, failure to appear, probation violation, domestic assault, controlled-substance, harassment, traffic, and judge's-order entries. Those examples describe visible roster charge text. They are not a statistical breakdown of the jail.
Several terms help separate the roster from the court case. A booking charge is the allegation entered at intake. A formal charge is filed later by the prosecutor and appears in court records. A detainer is a hold or request from another agency. A PR bond means personal recognizance, which can allow release based on a promise to appear. A no-bond or zero-dollar entry should not be treated as a free release; Camden County profiles tell bond companies and people posting bail to call the jail for current charges, case numbers, and bond amounts.
Camden County Inmate Population Laws
Missouri law shapes both custody and access to Camden County inmate records. RSMo 221.020 places county jail prisoners in the sheriff's custody unless another law provides otherwise. RSMo 610.100 defines arrest and incident reports and makes them open records, subject to exceptions for investigations, safety, victims, and later closure rules. RSMo 544.170 addresses release timing for some warrantless arrests, while RSMo 544.455 covers recognizance and bond conditions.
Key Missouri rules: RSMo 610.105 can close some records after dismissal, nolle prosequi, not-guilty findings, or qualifying suspended-imposition outcomes. RSMo 217.075 makes many Missouri DOC offender records public with exceptions for confidential or security-sensitive data. Missouri DPS also collects custody-death reports for federal reporting under its Death in Custody Reporting Act process.
Search Camden County Current Inmates
The main Camden County inmate search channel is the sheriff's roster gateway. It offers two choices: Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release. The current roster lists people still in the Camden County Detention Center, while the release view lists people released from the detention center within the last 48 hours. The roster is free and does not require an account.
To search the Camden County inmate population online, start with a first or last name. The roster also lets users show all records, sort by name or date, switch between current and released status, and order results newest to oldest or oldest to newest. A profile should be checked before any bond action because the sheriff's profile warning says charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances.
- Open the official roster gateway and choose Current Inmates for active custody.
- Enter a first or last name in the single Search By Name field, or choose Show All.
- Use the Name, Date, Current, Released, and sort links to narrow the list.
- Open the profile to review booking number, arresting agency, charge, bond, and demographic fields.
- Call Camden County Detention Center at 573-317-0981 before posting bond or relying on a charge list.
Camden County Roster Search Fields
The Camden County jail roster has a simple search form instead of separate fields for first name, last name, booking number, or date of birth. The HTML label says the field searches by either first or last name. That simplicity helps quick searches, but it also means common names may require sorting, profile checks, and a call to the jail if bond or court timing matters.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options or Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search By Name | Text | No | One free-text field for either first or last name |
| Search | Button | n/a | Submits the name search |
| Show All | Button | n/a | Clears the search and returns all roster cards |
| Name or Date | Sort link | No | Changes the roster ordering |
| Current or Released | Status link | No | Switches between current custody and 48-hour release |
| Newest or Oldest | Sort link | No | Sorts by booking-date order |
Camden County Inmate Record Fields
A Camden County roster card or profile is a booking record, not a full criminal-history report. The sample profile inspected in the research showed a mugshot, name, booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date, charge, bond, and a warning to call the detention center for current bail and case details. It did not show height, weight, housing unit, court date, case number, projected release date, or full statute code on the public sample.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | Booking photo thumbnail or profile image when available |
| Booking number | Local jail identifier for the booking event |
| Booking date | Date and time booked into the detention center |
| Release date | Appears on the 48-hour release roster, not current roster cards |
| Age, gender, race | Limited demographic fields visible on the profile |
| Charges and bond | Booking charge text and bond field, subject to later court changes |
Past Camden County Inmate Records
The 48-hour release roster is the first stop for someone who was just released from the Camden County Detention Center. It shows recent release date, booking date, charges, bond fields, mugshots, and profile links. After that short public window, the sheriff's site does not document a public archive of older booking cards. Older arrest reports, incident reports, and booking photos should be routed through the sheriff's Records or Administration process under Missouri Sunshine Law.
Case.net is the next path when the question is not custody status but court status. A released person may still have a pending Camden County criminal case, a municipal case handled through the circuit clerk, or a later disposition. The jail roster and court case can differ because the roster records intake charges and Case.net records charges filed and tracked in court.
County Jail vs State Prison
Readers often search one system when the person has moved to another. Camden County's roster covers local jail custody, including pretrial detainees, local sentenced detainees, court holds, and short-term custody tied to local agencies. The Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search covers active DOC offenders, probationers, and parolees, not discharged offenders. Federal and immigration custody use different national systems.
The BOP Inmate Locator searches federal inmates from 1982 to the present. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System searches adult immigration custody by A-number and country of birth or by biographical details. VINELink can help with custody-status notification when participating data is available.
| Custody Type | Search Channel | Main Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Camden County jail | Official sheriff roster | Current custody and 48-hour release only |
| Missouri prison or supervision | Missouri DOC Offender Search | Active offenders only, with CAPTCHA and exclusions |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal custody, not county booking records |
| Immigration detention | ICE locator | Adult immigration custody, may lag transfers |
Camden County Detention Facilities
Official sources identify one local detention facility for Camden County inmate population searches. City arrests and municipal cases may begin with different police or court offices, but the public county custody search points back to the sheriff's detention center. No Missouri DOC correctional center, BOP facility, or ICE detention center was located in Camden County facility lists.
