The Cape Girardeau Municipal Jail serves as a low/medium-security city detention center located at 2530 Maria Louise Ln in Cape Girardeau, MO. Operated locally by the police and sheriff's departments, it houses inmates and detainees awaiting trial or sentencing. Most sentenced inmates have terms of less than two years. The facility also accepts inmates from surrounding towns and occasionally from the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others may be supervised by probation agencies or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who remain in custody await their court appearances at the facility, receiving accommodations such as bedding and meals.

The jail is staffed by a jailer 24/7 and is supervised by the Commander of the Operations Support Division.

Designated prisoners are allowed to perform community service work in order to satisfy financial obligations to the city of Cape Girardeau while serving their jail sentence.
