Check DDRJ Release Records

DDRJ Release and Transfer Routes

Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail, commonly shortened to DDRJ, is Livingston County’s secondary contract custody site. The sheriff describes its Livingston role as placement for overflow, conflicts, and change-of-venue needs. DDRJ holds both sentenced and nonsentenced people. A Livingston detainee may leave after bond, a court order, time served, or completion of a jail sentence. The person may also transfer to Caldwell, MDOC, another county, or another authority.

The word “release” must be tied to one custody system. DDRJ can record that the person left its control while a receiving agency continues detention. A court disposition may explain the legal event, yet only the custody record supplies the physical exit and destination. For that reason, ask DDRJ and LCSO whether the person went to the community or to another jail or agency.

Confirm a DDRJ Release

Start with the Livingston County Released Inmates filter because it is the county-facing index. Search by first or last name, select newest-first date order, and note the booking number. The Released view has no published time window or update cadence. Its empty state on July 26, 2026 did not establish that no Livingston release occurred.

If the person appears as Current, examine any listed placement text. If DDRJ is named, call the regional jail. If the name is absent, do not infer release. Search spelling, removal, delay, transfer, confidentiality, or expungement may explain the absence.

1. Search LCSO Released and note the exact booking identifiers and visible date.
2. Use Current only to identify continuing custody and the jail where the person is held.
3. Call DDRJ at 660-367-2200 and ask about the specific Livingston booking.
4. Ask whether the person left the building for the community or transferred to another agency.
5. Confirm the release disposition with LCSO and compare any relevant Case.net order or MOVANS event.

The Livingston County released inmate lookup gives the broader verification ladder. A roster result, notification, or court entry is supporting evidence. The matched DDRJ release record remains the best source for the physical exit from this jail.

DDRJ Release Records Contact

DDRJ has a verified street address and main phone. Call before travel because the official sources reviewed do not publish Livingston-specific release hours, an exit door, a waiting area, or a property-return sequence. The jail may limit what can be disclosed by phone. A focused records request can seek the open portions of the physical custody and release file.

LCSO should also receive the request when its roster or Livingston booking data is needed. Its office is at 901 Webster Street in Chillicothe, and its office number is 660-646-0515. The published office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. That office is not the physical DDRJ release site.

Request a DDRJ Release Record

Name the Livingston booking and DDRJ in the first sentence of the request. Include the full name, date of birth if known, booking or case number, and a narrow date range. Ask for admission and release date and time, release disposition, destination or receiving agency, and any record showing whether the person left for the community or continued in custody.

Separate requests may be needed because the agencies hold different parts. DDRJ can address the physical detention event it maintains. LCSO can address its county roster and booking index. A court record can show a bond order, dismissal, judgment, or sentence, but does not always state the moment someone left DDRJ.

Disposition

The recorded type or reason for the custody exit.

Destination

The community or receiving agency shown in the jail record.

Transfer

Movement to another custodian, not community release.

Detainer

A legal basis or request for another authority to take or continue custody.

Missouri section 610.023 requires the custodian to act by the end of the third business day. Reasonable production delay is allowed if the response explains the reason and earliest availability. Ask for segregable open portions and a statutory basis for any closed part. Current section 610.026 governs permitted copy, clerical, research, and media costs, and prepayment may be requested.

Ask for electronic copies where available and a cost estimate before charges are incurred. Standard paper may cost up to ten cents per page plus allowed clerical time, while actual research, photograph, and nonpaper costs are treated under the current fee statute. A narrow request helps avoid matching the wrong person in a regional system. It also lets DDRJ respond to the physical custody event without being asked to build a new county-wide release report it may not maintain.

DDRJ Regional Jail Role

The official DDRJ site identifies a regional jail at its Pattonsburg address with capacity for 160 prisoners. That capacity is a facility measure, not a Livingston detainee count or release total. The jail serves more than one jurisdiction and houses both people awaiting case outcomes and people serving sentences.

The source confirms DDRJ’s identity and contact point, while the Livingston connection must still be established through the booking and LCSO record.

DDRJ is not the primary Livingston contract site. Caldwell holds that role. A person’s presence at DDRJ may stem from overflow, a conflict, or change of venue, so the request should preserve the Livingston case number and ask why the person was placed there only if that fact is part of an open record.

Livingston Contract Jail History

The former Livingston County Jail closed on December 31, 2012. Since then, a current county release search has required coordination beyond the county line. A 2025 sheriff statement reported that Livingston’s 2024 average daily detainee population exceeded 50 and its contract detention expense exceeded $1 million. The figures explain the scale of contract use but cannot be relabeled as DDRJ occupancy or Livingston release counts.

The sheriff says most Livingston detainees are held at Caldwell and some are held at DDRJ. Thus, a name alone is not enough to choose which jail to call. The LCSO roster’s placement information, the booking number, and the case record help identify the correct physical custodian.

Can a DDRJ exit and a Caldwell entry both be correct? Yes. The person may have transferred between contract jails. Record the end time at DDRJ, the receiving facility, and the status of the Livingston booking before calling the event a community release.

MOVANS can provide another agency-fed status point. Since May 2026, Missouri uses text and email for current notification delivery rather than telephone or the VINELink app. Read the reporting agency before connecting an alert to DDRJ. A local release event may lag the roster or may describe only one agency’s custody. When the sources conflict, save the date and time each was checked and ask DDRJ and LCSO to reconcile the result.

DDRJ Release Travel Planning

No public Livingston-specific release schedule, weekend process, pickup door, family waiting place, property sequence, transport benefit, or gate-money rule was located in the official sources reviewed as of July 26, 2026. Call DDRJ for instructions tied to the individual booking. Do not assume a court order or posted bond gives an exact exit time.

Official Livingston-area transportation material lists highways, an airport, and freight rail, but it does not document a fixed-route passenger bus from Pattonsburg. A release plan should not depend on an unverified bus stop, taxi policy, or rideshare pickup area. Confirm the release site and approved waiting point with the jail.

When DDRJ, LCSO, MOVANS, and Case.net show different times or outcomes, keep each fact within its scope. MOVANS is agency-fed status evidence. Case.net documents court activity. LCSO supplies the Livingston-facing roster record. DDRJ is the preferred source for when the person physically left its custody and where the record says the person went.
