DAVIESS/DEKALB COUNTY REGIONAL JAIL

What DAVIESS/DEKALB COUNTY REGIONAL JAIL does

Daviess/DeKalb County Regional Jail is a government-operated regional jail district located in Pattonsburg, Missouri, jointly governed by the Presiding Commissioners and Sheriffs of Daviess and DeKalb Counties. The facility was established in 2006 as the first regional jail of its kind in Missouri, formed after a 2000 state statute and a 2005 voter-approved ½ cent sales tax enabled the counties to jointly acquire and operate a $3.5 million detention facility (purchased from Midwest Security Housing). The 160-bed facility provides a full span of correctional services including secure detention, court security, inmate transportation, medical services (delivered via Advanced Correctional Healthcare), food services ($6.80/meal/day), commissary operations, and video-based visitation through NCIC.

The organization operates an integrated seven-division service model: Corrections Division (31 custody staff plus administrative personnel managing care, custody, and control of sentenced and non-sentenced detainees), Court Security, Medical Services, Food Services, Transportation, Video Visitation, and Commissary. Technology infrastructure is conventional third-party SaaS: NCIC for video visitation scheduling, JailATM for inmate account payments, Public Safety Cloud for detainee lookup, and V.I.N.E. for victim notification. Kiosks in living units enable inmate service requests and commissary purchases.

The revenue model is dual-stream: a voter-approved ½ cent sales tax (collection began April 2006) that funds operations and retired bond debt by 2014 — two years ahead of schedule, saving over $100,000 in interest — supplemented by bed-space rental fees from approximately 4 counties and 4 municipalities that house detainees at the facility. The customer base consists of two partner counties for primary detention and a small set of intergovernmental agencies for surplus bed rentals. Operations are overseen by a Director (Dawn Ely, appointed July 2025) and Captain (Dustin White, appointed July 2025).

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• CoreCivic (Corrections Corporation of America): One of the largest private prison and detention operators in the U.S. Both firms operate correctional/detention facilities under government contracts; CoreCivic is a scaled, for-profit incumbent relative to the Daviess/DeKalb regional, government-run jail.
• Management & Training Corporation (MTC): Private corrections and detention services provider operating government facilities, including county jails, detention centers, and community corrections programs. Direct business-model parallel to a regional jail that contracts or partners with private service providers (e.g., Advanced Correctional Healthcare).
• The GEO Group: Major private operator of prisons, detention centers, and community corrections. Comparable to Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail in delivering detention services to government clients, but at national scale versus a single rural regional facility.

Others

• Advanced Correctional Healthcare: Private correctional healthcare provider based in Peoria, Illinois. Already a named partner of Daviess/DeKalb, providing on-site nursing, physician, and pharmacy services; comparable category participant in correctional medical services.
• NaphCare: Correctional healthcare company providing medical, mental health, and pharmacy services to jails and prisons nationwide. Tangentially comparable as part of the correctional-medical-services ecosystem that supports facilities like Daviess/DeKalb.
• Wellpath (Correct Care Solutions): Leading correctional healthcare provider delivering medical, mental health, and pharmacy services inside jails and prisons. Daviess/DeKalb's partner Advanced Correctional Healthcare competes in the same correctional-health segment.
• Bob Barker Company: Supplier of inmate commissary products and services to correctional facilities; comparable segment to Daviess/DeKalb's in-house commissary operations and partner JailATM's financial transaction platform.

Direct peers

• LaSalle Corrections: Private provider that operates county jails and detention centers for sheriff's departments and regional authorities. Most directly comparable to a small, regional jail district in scale and rural-county focus.
• Emerald Correctional Management: Private operator of county and regional detention facilities, particularly in the South and Midwest. Comparable to Daviess/DeKalb in the niche of running jail facilities on behalf of small/rural county governments.

Regional players

• Midwest Regional Jail Authority (analog regional jails in MO): As the first regional jail of its kind in Missouri, Daviess/DeKalb is the template for any subsequent multi-county regional jail districts formed under the same 2000 Missouri statute. Identified here as a class rather than a specific entity since the direct analogs (e.g., potential future regional districts) have yet to broadly emerge.
