This private reference site is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the government office that holds the record for those services.
Custody and Records Contacts
The primary county contact is the Washington County Sheriff/Jail, 116 West High Street, Potosi, Missouri 63664, phone 573-438-5478. The county publishes office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It does not list a separate jail-records email or promise that staff will disclose custody by phone, so ask for the records custodian when a written request is needed.
- For a county booking record or photograph, use the official-source request path and address the Sheriff/Jail records custodian.
- For a new custody event, consult Arrested Today, then call the Sheriff/Jail when no public result appears.
- For a release or transfer alert, use the state's VINE Arrest Check instructions.
- For a filed criminal case or disposition, contact the Washington County Circuit Clerk at 104 North Missouri Street, Potosi, 573-438-4171.
- For an arrest made by Potosi Police, start with that department at 1 Police Plaza, 573-438-5468, then ask the Sheriff/Jail about county booking.
- For active state custody or supervision, use the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search; Potosi Correctional Center is a state prison, not the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody only, use the federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator.
