The Lawrence County MO Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 240 N Main St Suite 10 Mt. Vernon, MO which is operated locally by the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Lawrence County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Mt. Vernon Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Missouri here.

Lawrence County MO Jail - Inmate Handbook

The Jail Facility is a fifty-two-bed facility. It has been expanded over the years to its current capacity from a thirty-two bed facility. The breakdown of these beds is thirty-two general population, twelve female population, four protective custody, and four segregation.

All persons arrested in Lawrence County (with the exception of Aurora and Monett municipal charges) and taken into custody are transported to the Lawrence County Jail for book-in and incarceration. The Lawrence County Jail houses both adult male and female inmates for pre-trial and convicted inmates who are serving sentences or awaiting transport to the Missouri Department of Corrections.

The inmates have access to local television stations and are also able to correspond through the inmate phone system and sending and receiving postcards through the USPS. The Lawrence County Jail is contracted with an on-call doctor who also comes in to examine the inmates. During the normal business week, we also have a nurse who oversees all medical requests and works with the doctor to deal with the medical requests. Meals for inmates are prepared by the on-duty jailer. The basic jail menu for all inmates consists of oatmeal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and beans and cornbread for supper.
