The St. Genevieve County MO Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 5 Basler Dr St Genevieve, MO which is operated locally by the Ste. Genevieve 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. Ste. Genevieve County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the St Genevieve Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The Ste. Genevieve County Sheriff's Office Detention Center is a modern facility capable of housing approximately 300 detainees daily. The Detention Center serves all law enforcement for our community including local, state and federal agencies. There are currently 35 full time deputies/correctional officers that staff the Detention Center. In addition to the normal daily responsibilities of housing detainees, these employees are responsible for transporting detainees to and from the court, handling in-state and out-of-state extraditions and maintaining facility security. Detainees held in this facility range from civil detainees to dangerous felons.

Inmates may buy calling cards in increments of $30 each.
