The Vernon County MO Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 2040 E Hunter St Nevada, MO which is operated locally by the Vernon 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. Vernon County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Nevada Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

This Jail is a state of the art facility with professional staff to provide a safe and secure jail. Vernon County provides out of jurisdiction housing for approved facilities and offers medical care and screening, full food service, and commissary. Inmates from across the state are housed at this facility including state sex offenders.

Due to a recent change in inmate property laws, we have changed the policy on mailing books to inmates in the Vernon County Jail. As of September 1st we will no longer allow any books mailed to inmates from personal or book stores. We will be adding a book library to the jail as well as digital books are available on the inmate tablets. Any books received after that date will be returned to sender. Thank you for complying with the policy change.

Money orders will be accepted in a plain white envelope and all other items will be placed in inmate property. Materials of a sexual or violent nature are not permitted. Correspondence between inmates in other institutions requires pre-approval.
