This is a private reference site, not a Franklin County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release anyone, post bond, change a court date, or pull an official booking record. Use the official contacts below for those tasks.
Where to Check First
For Franklin County jail custody and sheriff records, start with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office and Adult Detention Facility. Sheriff Steven M. Pelton's office is at 1 Bruns Lane, Union, MO 63084. The detention and booking line is (636) 582-8600, the sheriff's main number is (636) 583-2560, and the fax number is (636) 584-6877. Sheriff's records requests may be sent to fcsorecords@franklinmo.gov, faxed, made in person during business hours, requested by phone, or mailed to Attn: Records, #1 Bruns Lane, Union, MO 63084. Administrative office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
For county Sunshine requests outside the sheriff's records process, contact County Clerk Tim Baker at 400 E. Locust, Room 201, Union, MO 63084, phone (636) 583-6355, fax (636) 583-7320, or clerk@franklinmo.gov. The County Clerk's office lists Monday through Friday hours from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. For court case status after charges are filed, the detention page lists (636) 583-7365, and Circuit Clerk Connie Ward's office is at 401 East Main St., Room 100A, Union, MO 63084, phone (636) 583-7391.
Use the page that matches the question before calling or submitting a records request:
- For a person believed to be in the Franklin County Adult Detention Facility, use the jail inmate records guide and then call detention or sheriff records if no official roster is available.
- For booking-photo questions, review jail roster mugshots and request records through the sheriff when needed.
- For criminal charges and court events after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Franklin County Circuit Clerk or Missouri Case.net.
- For facility-specific details, use the Franklin County Adult Detention Facility and Missouri Eastern Correctional Center pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Missouri state prisoner, use the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search rather than the county jail line.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator instead of Franklin County detention contacts.
