The Andrew County Jail is located 400 East Main Street in Savannah, Missouri.

The Andrew County Jail is a 80-bed facility. We have a total of 7 cell block areas, 3 maximum security holding cell areas, 1 medium security, 2 lower risk holding areas (Trustee and Work Release Inmates) and 1 cell block to hold subject being detained for investigation of a crime. The Andrew County Jail is also equipped with 1 isolation cell and 1 medical cell, which is for high-risk detainees who need additional supervision.

In addition to Andrew County inmates, we also hold detainees for the City of Savannah, Country Club Village, Clinton County, Holt County, City of Independence Mo, Jackson County Mo, Lees Summit Mo, and Wyandotte County KS. On occasion we will have a prisoner from another county awaiting extradition, transfer, change of venue on court case, or an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer.

The jail is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Our jail staff is always on the move in making certain all our duties and obligations are carried out.

Many people comment that a county detention officer is much the same job as working for the Department of Corrections (DOC). This is only true in the sense of keeping other people in custody. A DOC employee may be assigned a specific duty such as working kitchen duty, monitoring a housing unit, or staffing the control center. Our staff covers everything from intake, medical questions, assess risk and custody levels, monitor food preparation and service, monitor all inmate activities, dispense medications, follow Court orders on specific issues for detainees from no contact lists to mandatory urine testing, serve warrants, monitor suicidal persons, administer first aide, and handle visitation from attorneys, preachers, counselors, and family/friends. It is fair to say the duties of staff in the Andrew County Jail are extremely demanding.

Inmates are not permitted to file a grievance on behalf of another Inmate. Inmates must file grievance within (48) forty-eight hours of the alleged abuse being reported (unless reporting sexual abuse/harassment) and include specific details supporting the grievance.
