Adair County Detention Records
The official Adair County Sheriff page lists the sheriff's office and detention-related navigation for inmate mail and telephone, jail commissary, jail visitation, public records requests, criminal history checks, and the sex offender registry. In the Putnam County research, Adair appears because a Putnam roster note said a defendant moved to Adair County on a change of venue. That is a court and custody routing fact, not proof that every Putnam inmate is searched through Adair.
The Putnam County roster remains important because it may show the booking number, charge text, bond note, and case-number reference tied to the Putnam arrest or case. Adair County becomes important when the person is actually connected to Adair for venue, detention, mail, phone, or local records. The most accurate path is to read the Putnam profile, check Case.net when a case number appears, then use Adair County's published sheriff and detention channels for Adair-specific logistics.
The manifest includes a successful Adair County subject image. The source is the official Adair County Sheriff page with detention-related navigation and contact details.

Adair County Jail Population
The research file did not locate an official current capacity number, average daily population, or housing-unit plan for Adair County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center. No bed count or census estimate is stated. The strongest Putnam-specific fact is that the Putnam roster tied at least one defendant to Adair County because of a change of venue.
That change-of-venue note should be treated as a record-routing clue. It means the reader may need to distinguish the original Putnam County arrest or booking record from the court location or detention logistics connected to Adair. If a formal court case has moved, Case.net is the right place to review the public docket, hearing dates, and charge status. If a person is physically housed in Adair County, Adair's detention rules control visits, mail, and telephone access.
| Measure | Status in research | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Adair current capacity | Not located | Do not publish a capacity claim. |
| Putnam connection | Change-of-venue roster note | Explain case and housing routing. |
| Detention services | Official navigation located | Mail, telephone, commissary, visitation, and public records pages exist. |
Lookup Adair County Custody
A Putnam County reader should begin with the Putnam current roster if the arrest began as a Putnam matter. Search the name, open the profile, and read the full charge text. The research file noted that Putnam roster charge text can include case numbers and change-of-venue notes. The Adair note is important because it may point the reader to a different court location, detention facility, or records office.
- Search the Putnam roster and open the full profile for the booking number.
- Copy any case number, bond text, and change-of-venue wording.
- Call Putnam at (660) 947-2515 for the current Putnam bond and case-number confirmation.
- Use Missouri Case.net to search by case number or litigant name.
- Call Adair County at (660) 665-4644 for detention logistics if the person is housed or proceeding there.
- Use Missouri DOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink if the person has moved outside county custody.
The lookup path is not the same as a simple county swap. Putnam County may still hold useful arrest and roster details, while Adair County may hold venue, facility, or mail and phone rules. A charge is not a conviction, and a change of venue does not erase the need to verify bond and case numbers through the office that created the latest record.
Adair Detention Center Contact
The official Adair County sheriff page lists Sheriff Jason Lene, phone, fax, mailing address, and front desk hours. The facility address in the research file is 215 N. Franklin St., Kirksville, MO 63501. Front desk hours are listed as 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. Those hours are office hours, not a guarantee that visitation, release processing, or records pickup follows the same schedule.

Kirksville, MO 63501
(660) 665-4644
Fax: (660) 785-3224
Front desk hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
For a Putnam-related matter, call Putnam first for Putnam bond and booking confirmation. Call Adair for Adair facility rules, mail screening, outgoing phone setup, and any Adair public-records request process. If the issue is a court docket after a change of venue, Case.net and the responsible circuit clerk are better sources than a jail phone call.
Adair County Visiting
The Adair County sheriff navigation includes a jail visitation page, but the detailed schedule was not captured in the research file. That means specific visit days, times, approval steps, and video rules should be confirmed through Adair before travel. If the person is tied to a Putnam case, also confirm through Putnam or Case.net that the venue or custody status has not changed again.
| Visitation issue | Published status | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation page | Exists in official navigation | Use Adair sheriff site or phone for details. |
| Schedule | Not captured | Do not assume a visit window. |
| Putnam case status | May remain in Putnam roster or Case.net | Confirm before travel. |
| Emergency message | Screened case-by-case | Call Adair rather than sending casual email. |
Adair Mail and Phone
Adair County has the clearest mail and phone rules among the outside Putnam facilities in the research file. The official mail page says detainees can receive and send mail on post-office business days. Mail should be addressed to the detainee at 215 N. Franklin St., Kirksville, MO 63501. The sender's full legal name and full return address must be included. Mail is screened for contraband, and denied mail may be returned and appealed to jail administration.
| Service | Adair County detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Detainee name, 215 N. Franklin St., Kirksville, MO 63501 |
| Sender rule | Full legal name and full return address required |
| Screening | Mail screened for contraband; denied mail may be appealed |
| Phone calls | No incoming calls to detainees |
| Phone vendor | NCIC Inmate Communications, www.ncic.com, (800) 943-2189 |
Examples of prohibited or problem mail in the research include stickers, stains, lipstick, cologne or perfume smell, adult-child or nude photos, and offensive drawings or depictions. Phone calls are outgoing through NCIC Inmate Communications. Emergency messages are screened case-by-case. Commissary navigation exists on the official Adair site, but detailed commissary fees were not captured.
Adair Records Requests
The Adair sheriff navigation includes public records request and criminal history check pages. For Putnam-related cases, the key is to ask the right office for the right record. A Putnam sheriff roster entry can support a request for Putnam booking or arrest information. Adair may hold detention, mail, phone, visit, or local records created while the person is housed or processed there. Formal charge history and court events should be reviewed through Missouri Case.net.
Missouri Sunshine Law also applies to open public records. RSMo 610.023 covers records custodians and response timing, while RSMo 610.026 covers copying charges and staff time. Arrest and incident reports are addressed by RSMo 610.100, subject to exceptions for active investigations, safety, confidentiality, juvenile matters, and closed records.
- Change of venue
- A case is moved to another county or court for proceedings.
- Public records request
- A formal request to the government office that keeps the record.
- Criminal history check
- A separate state or local record product, not the same as a jail roster.
