Access Joplin Jail Roster

The Joplin jail roster tracks inmates held at the Joplin City Jail and in Jasper County facilities. Joplin is one of the few Missouri cities that runs its own jail. The Joplin City Jail at 303 E. 3rd Street has 64 beds and holds both pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates. The Joplin Police Department handles arrests in the city, and Jail Administrator Mark St Peter oversees daily operations. You can search the Joplin jail roster through the city website or check the Jasper County Sheriff's Office inmate roster for people transferred to the county jail. Both rosters are public under Missouri's Sunshine Law.
