The Ste. Genevieve County Sheriff’s Office is the law enforcement agency responsible for operated and managing the St. Genevieve County Jail.

This unit will help treat these inmates who have special needs and not put them out in the general public housing. These units come equipped with some helpful Mental Health workers alongside a few Sheriff’s who went through specialized Crisis Intervention Training. The detention center also has a special housing unit for inmates who may have special needs.

All violent and out of control inmates will be separated from the general population inmates to keep the peace inside the facility at all times.

The St. Genevieve County Jail is a medium-security facility. The facility operates on a 24 hours a day basis. The St. Genevieve County Jail accepts inmates from other law enforcement agencies on a local, state, and even federal level.  The St. Genevieve County Jail frequently takes in inmates from the St Genevieve Police Department as they do not have their own lockup.

Majority of the inmates that are already sentenced have sentences less than two years. The St. Genevieve County Jail accepts inmates from surrounding municipalities and towns when there are no rooms in city jails.

The Sheriff’s Office main mission is to try and reduce the inmate population by providing them with proactive, yet innovative release programs to help them not re-offend again.  Some of these release programs include a court-sponsored pretrial release alongside community-based work programs that are operated through the Ste. Genevieve County Sheriff’s Office. In 2017, the St. Genevieve County Jail has a daily inmate population around 1085.
