Coffey County, Kansas Jail Roster

To find an inmate currently held in Coffey County, the Coffey County Sheriff’s Office inmate roster is the direct online lookup maintained by the Sheriff at 625 Neosho Street, Burlington. The roster sorts by booking time and is searchable by name. Coffey County is part of Kansas’s 4th Judicial District, which also covers Anderson, Franklin, and Osage counties.

Searching the Coffey County jail roster

The Coffey County Sheriff’s Office inmate roster is publicly accessible online. Booking date, inmate name, and charges are displayed as public record under Kansas law. A booking photo may appear on an official record, but the Sheriff’s Office retains discretion over whether to publish it. The roster can be sorted by booking time in ascending or descending order.

1. Go to the Coffey County Sheriff’s Office inmate roster.
2. Use the search field to enter a last name, or browse the full list sorted by booking time.
3. Each entry shows the inmate’s name, booking date and time, and the charges listed at booking.
4. If you need additional detail or a formal records request, use the Sheriff’s records request page.

Note that the facility is located at 625 Neosho Street, Burlington — there are no-parking areas near the entrance, which matters if you plan to visit in person. The Sheriff’s Office administrative hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., though the detention facility itself operates around the clock.

What the roster does (and doesn’t) show

A new booking can take time to appear on the Coffey County roster after the person arrives at the facility. Processing — fingerprinting, paperwork, and data entry — must be completed before a record goes live. Checking back after some time has passed is the practical approach when a booking is very recent.

Beyond timing, the roster reflects only people currently held in Coffey County custody. Juvenile detainees are not listed. Sealed records and federal detainees held elsewhere do not appear. The roster also does not show people who have already been released, transferred to state custody, or bonded out — their entries are removed or archived once they leave county custody. For district court case information tied to a Coffey County arrest, the Kansas Judicial Branch’s CaseSearch covers district court cases statewide at no charge, though it does not include municipal court cases and only shows documents from the date each court joined the state’s eCourt system.

When a booking is fresh and the roster hasn’t caught up yet, a direct call to the Sheriff’s Office is the fastest way to confirm custody.

If someone was just booked tonight

Call the Coffey County Sheriff’s Office at (620) 364-2123 — that is the fastest way to confirm custody right now. That’s a hard situation to be in at this hour. The detention line is staffed around the clock, so you do not need to wait until morning to ask whether someone is in custody.

Bond is set at a first appearance before a judge — not at booking. Calling tonight can tell you whether your person is in custody; it cannot tell you the bond amount, because that decision hasn’t happened yet. That part is the hard part of waiting. The Coffey County Sheriff’s bonding agencies list is worth bookmarking for when that information becomes available.

Visitation is not available the night of a booking. The Coffey County Detention Center does offer visitation, but it does not begin immediately after someone is processed in. Call the Sheriff’s Office to confirm current visitation eligibility and hours before you make any plans to visit — the schedule can change, and the facility will have the current information. It’s worth one call to avoid a wasted trip.

Tomorrow morning, your next steps are: call the 4th Judicial District Clerk of Court to ask about the case number and first appearance date; attend the first appearance if you can, since bond is decided there; and consult an attorney if you need guidance on the charges or the process. The Kansas Board of Indigents’ Defense Services can help identify a public defender if one is needed.

If someone isn’t on the Coffey County roster

• The booking may not yet be reflected online — processing takes time after a person arrives at the facility.
• The person may have been transferred to Kansas Department of Corrections state custody; search the KASPER offender search inmate locator — note that KASPER is a historical record of people who have passed through KDOC custody, not a live list of current prisoners.
• The person may have already been released or bonded out before you searched.
• The arrest may have been made by a neighboring county’s agency; Anderson, Franklin, and Osage counties share the 4th Judicial District with Coffey County.
• The person may be held in federal custody, which does not appear on county rosters.
• Set up a custody notification, the statewide Kansas VINE service, to receive an alert when custody status changes.

Timing is the most common explanation when a name doesn’t appear right away. Call (620) 364-2123 to ask the Sheriff’s Office directly — a live inquiry resolves most cases faster than repeated roster checks. If the person may be held in another state or in federal custody, a multi-state search tool may help fill gaps that local portals often leave; see the section below.

If you can’t find them in Coffey County

A nationwide records search may help when the Coffey County roster comes up empty and you suspect the person could be held in another county, another state, or federal custody — jurisdictions that local rosters never display. The tool below is designed to search across multiple data sources and may surface records that a single county portal cannot reach. Confirm numbers and hours before visiting or calling any facility you identify through a third-party search.
