Found right in town in Kirksville, the brick and glass Law Enforcement Center is the home for both the Sheriff’s Office and the 60-bed Adair County Jail. Long stretches are free from windows, including the sally port and the side of the building, allowing privacy for booking, arrivals and medical areas, while other spaces have natural light to create a more positive environment.

All offenders arrested in Adair County on either misdemeanor or felony charges, or both, are booked and held at the Adair County Jail, both while they wait for their trial or if they are sentenced to the facility.

Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks. 

In addition to all physical and mental health needs, there is also encouraged contact with family and friends who are not incarcerated through the use of mail, phone calls, and visits. Family members and friends who want to support the inmates will be able to do so not only by contact but also financially through adding money to their commissary account online, by phone, at the kiosk in the lobby of the jail, or by mailing a money order.

Phones are also available for outgoing calls only; they are not able to accept incoming calls. Phone calls may be prepaid or funded through an online account or through the commissary programs.
