District 25 DOC Overview
District 25 - Poplar Bluff Community Supervision Center is listed by the Missouri Department of Corrections, Division of Probation and Parole. It is a state community supervision center, not a sheriff-run jail and not a standard state prison intake facility. That distinction matters. A person arrested by a local officer in Butler County is checked first through the Butler County Detention Center. A person already under DOC supervision may be checked through DOC systems or by contacting the supervision center.
The DOC all-facilities map and CSC/CRC address listing both place the Poplar Bluff center in the DOC community supervision network. The research did not locate a published capacity figure for this center. It also did not locate a prison-style visiting schedule specific to this center. Standard DOC prison rules can provide useful background, but appointments, reporting, programs, and visitor access should be confirmed directly with the center or DOC.
The Missouri DOC community supervision center address listing is the matched source for the Poplar Bluff CSC contact entry.
The listing supports the address and phone contact, but it does not turn the center into a county jail roster source.
District 25 Supervision Status
District 25 - Poplar Bluff Community Supervision Center is connected to DOC supervision. That means its records and contacts are different from booking records at Butler County Detention Center. County jail custody covers people held before trial, people booked on warrants, local sentenced inmates, and other local holds. DOC supervision covers active offenders under state authority, including some probationers and parolees unless a record is excluded for safety, security, or confidentiality reasons.
| Question | Use Butler County Jail | Use Missouri DOC |
|---|---|---|
| New arrest in Butler County | Yes, start with the detention center. | No, unless the person is already under DOC supervision. |
| Probation or parole status | Only if the person is booked locally. | Yes, use DOC Offender Search and field supervision contacts. |
| Community supervision appointment | No. | Contact District 25 directly. |
| Formal court charges | Jail may know booking charges. | Use Case.net for court filings, not the supervision center. |
Because the capacity was not published in the DOC address listing or facility map material used for the research, no stat block is shown for this center. Treat any unsourced bed count or resident count from unofficial sites as unverified.
Lookup District 25 DOC Records
The correct public locator for DOC supervision records is the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search. DOC describes the search as covering active offenders supervised by the department, including probationers and parolees unless excluded. It does not provide discharged-offender information, and some records may be withheld from public search results for safety, security, or confidentiality reasons.
The DOC search is not a Butler County jail roster. A local arrest may not appear there at all. If the person is in the county jail awaiting court, call the detention center instead. If the person is under state supervision, the DOC search and direct District 25 contact are the better route.
- Open Missouri DOC Offender Search and complete the required image-letter entry before running a search.
- Search by first and last name, including possible aliases, or use a DOC number if known.
- Review whether the record shows active supervision, prison custody, parole, probation, or another DOC status.
- Contact District 25 for appointment, program, or supervision-center questions that the public locator does not answer.
- If the person was just arrested locally, call Butler County Detention Center before relying on the DOC result.
District 25 Contact Details
Use the Poplar Bluff center contact for supervision-center appointments, reporting questions, and DOC program routing. The phone number is not a county jail booking line. It should not be used as the main route for bond, new arrests, jail visitation, or county inmate money.

If the question is whether someone is in jail after a recent Butler County arrest, use Butler County Detention Center instead. If the question is a court date or filed charge, search Case.net or contact the court. District 25 is part of the supervision side of state corrections, not the county booking process.
District 25 Visits and Appointments
Standard prison visiting schedules do not automatically apply to District 25 - Poplar Bluff Community Supervision Center because it is a community supervision center. DOC visiting rules are still relevant background when the department authorizes visitors or controls entry into adult correctional facilities, but the center should confirm whether a person may visit, report, attend a program, or meet staff at this location.
| Topic | DOC Background | District 25 Action |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor approval | DOC visitor applications can be online or paper for prison visits. | Ask whether the CSC uses appointment or visitor approval rules. |
| Security screening | DOC visiting information discusses body scanners and entry screening. | Follow center instructions for entry and identification. |
| Contraband | DOC bars narcotics, tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and other prohibited items. | Do not bring restricted items to any DOC-controlled visit or appointment. |
| Sanctions | DOC visitor sanctions are issued in writing and can be appealed to DOC. | Ask the center how sanctions apply to CSC visits or programs. |
Because no District 25-specific visiting schedule was found in the research, the safest practice is to call the center before travel. Do not assume a prison visiting-hours page applies to a community supervision appointment.
District 25 Mail and Phone
Missouri DOC's family and friends materials describe phone, mail, and money rules for state custody. Those rules are useful when a person is in a DOC prison or assigned to a DOC-controlled setting, but District 25 may have different appointment and program procedures because it is a supervision center. Confirm the correct address format and any approved communication method with staff before sending mail or funds.
| Service | DOC Detail Found | CSC Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Phone calls | DOC offenders cannot receive calls but may make outgoing collect, debit, or prepaid calls if not restricted. | Ask whether the person is in a setting where DOC phone rules apply. |
| Tablets | DOC phone information says offender tablets include phone applications. | Availability may depend on placement and restrictions. |
| DOC publishes state mail information for offenders. | Confirm whether mail should go to the center or another DOC address. | |
| Money transfer | DOC has a statewide money-transfer page. | Do not send funds until DOC or the center confirms the person's account route. |
The DOC phone services page explains outgoing call options for offenders in DOC custody.
Use that statewide information carefully, because a supervision-center appointment is not the same thing as a prison housing unit.
District 25 Intake Context
District 25 intake is not the booking process used after a street arrest. A county jail booking usually starts with arrest paperwork, identity checks, searches, fingerprints, a booking photo if taken, and placement in a jail housing area. District 25 is tied to DOC supervision. Its intake or appointment process may involve reporting instructions, program placement, community supervision conditions, and field officer direction.
For people sentenced from a Butler County case, the record path can move from jail booking to court filing, then to a DOC record if the sentence or supervision order places the person under state authority. A probationer or parolee may appear in the DOC public search while a county pretrial detainee may not. When there is doubt, use both channels in the right order: jail for current county custody, Case.net for filed charges, and DOC for active state supervision.
About District 25 Poplar Bluff
The Poplar Bluff Community Supervision Center gives Butler County a DOC supervision presence without creating a state prison facility in the county. The research found no adult DOC correctional institution, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or separate municipal jail in Butler County official facility lists. That makes the facility map simple but easy to misunderstand: one sheriff-run jail handles local custody, while District 25 handles DOC supervision functions.
For a public records user, the key is matching the question to the agency. New custody, bond, release, and jail services route to the Butler County Detention Center. Active state supervision and DOC status route to Missouri DOC Offender Search or District 25 contact. Formal charges, hearings, warrants after failure to appear, and dispositions route to Missouri Case.net or the court clerk.
Note: Confirm appointments, reporting rules, and any visit access with District 25 before traveling to the center.
