Chase County Jail Roster Overview
The official local starting point for Chase County inmate records is the Chase County Detention Center website. Research could not confirm a searchable public field table because automated access to the detention site returned a 406 response. That does not mean the site is unusable in a normal browser. It means the public page should be treated as the first place to check, with the detention phone and records process ready if a current roster does not load or does not show the person.
The Chase County Sheriff's Office operates the jail. Sheriff Jacob Welsh and Undersheriff Aaron Hoffman are listed at the sheriff office, and the county says the office is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The detention phone listed in the research is 620-273-7054, and the sheriff main line is 620-273-6313. The roster and jail phone cover local jail custody. They do not replace KDOC KASPER for sentenced Kansas prisoners, the BOP Inmate Locator for federal sentenced prisoners, or ICE ODLS for immigration custody.
Use the Chase County Inmate Roster
A Chase County jail roster search should follow the available access channels in order. The county detention site may show current custody information in a browser, but the research did not capture a stable public sample record. If a name does not appear, use the detention center before assuming release. ICE, state prison, federal prison, and court records can all explain why a local jail search comes up empty.
- Open the official Chase County Detention Center website and check for a current inmate roster or list.
- Search or scan by name if the site displays current jail custody records.
- Call 620-273-7054 if the person may be in local jail or immigration detention at the Chase County Jail.
- Call the sheriff main line at 620-273-6313 or ask for the records custodian when a jail-book entry or older booking record is needed.
- Search KASPER, BOP, ICE ODLS, or Kansas VINELink when the person is not found in the local jail channel.
For custody notifications, Kansas VINELink and 1-866-574-8463 are the statewide notification channels documented in the research. VINELink is not a full court file and does not replace the sheriff or court clerk for record copies.
Chase County Roster Search Fields
The Chase County public roster fields were not confirmed, so this page should not invent a last-name box, booking-number field, housing field, or release-date field for the county site. The search-field table below distinguishes what was confirmed from official or captured systems. It is useful because Chase County inmate records often require moving between a county jail record, a state corrections record, and a federal or immigration locator.
| System | Confirmed Search Fields | Best Use | Research Caveat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chase County Detention Center | Not confirmed in captured text | Current county jail custody | Open in a normal browser; automated fetch returned 406 |
| KDOC KASPER | Photos, name, alias, KDOC number, KBI number, race, gender, birth date, age, county, facility, supervision type | Sentenced Kansas prisoners and KDOC supervision | Not a complete criminal history; working-day updates |
| BOP Inmate Locator | BOP register number, DCDC, FBI, INS, name, race, age, sex | Federal sentenced inmates from 1982 forward | Release dates may change after sentence recalculation |
| ICE ODLS | Federal immigration locator fields | Immigration detainees | JavaScript required; use facility phone for local confirmation |
| Kansas Case Search | Case number, party name, business name, citation, role-based criteria | Charges filed after jail arrest | Public terminal and court clerk remain fallback options |
What Chase County Inmate Records May Show
No stable Chase County sample inmate profile was captured, so the record field inventory is framed as requestable or likely jail-book data rather than a confirmed online screen. Under Kansas open-records law, a requester can ask the sheriff for a booking record, jail log, or booking photo, but the office may apply exceptions for active investigations, privacy, or other protected material. Court charges should be checked with the court, not treated as final just because a booking label appeared at intake.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and custody status | Whether the jail can confirm the person is held, released, transferred, or subject to another agency hold. |
| Booking date or time | The intake point if maintained in the jail log and released under KORA. |
| Arresting agency | The deputy, city officer, or other agency that initiated the custody event. |
| Charges or warrants | Initial labels or holds that may later differ from prosecutor-filed court charges. |
| Bond or bail status | Whether a bond has been set and whether another hold prevents release. |
| Court date or jurisdiction | Case routing once a charge is filed in Chase County District Court or another court. |
| Booking photo | A mugshot if available and not withheld; online publication was not confirmed in research. |
| Release or transfer status | Whether the person left local custody for release, KDOC, BOP, ICE, or another agency. |
Chase County Jail vs KDOC
The county jail and KDOC locator answer different questions. The Chase County Detention Center is for local jail custody, including pretrial defendants, short jail sentences, city prisoners, holds, and ICE-listed detention use. KASPER is the statewide locator for persons and cases tied to KDOC-funded or KDOC-operated programs. It covers state prison and supervision records, but its own disclaimer says it is not a full criminal-history search.
| Custody | Where to Look | Record Type |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Chase County arrest | Chase County Detention Center or sheriff | Booking, custody status, local hold, jail communication rules |
| Sentenced Kansas prisoner | KDOC KASPER | KDOC number, facility, supervision type, photo toggle, conviction county filters |
| Federal sentenced prisoner | BOP Inmate Locator | Register number, age, race, sex, release date, location |
| Immigration detainee | ICE ODLS or Chase County Jail phone | Immigration custody location and detainee information |
Chase County Jail Facility
The Facility Map identifies one local jail: the Chase County Detention Center. It is the main detention address for local jail records and the same facility listed by ICE as Chase County Jail. No separate state prison, federal prison, or ICE-owned facility was found inside Chase County.

Booking Process in Chase County
Chase-specific booking-process text was not located on accessible official pages, so the safest description combines Kansas jail practice with the statutes cited in the research. After an arrest by Chase County deputies or local officers using the sheriff and dispatch system, the person is taken to the Chase County Detention Center. Intake commonly includes identity confirmation, warrant checks, property inventory, medical screening, fingerprints, a booking photo, charge or agency documentation, and a housing or classification decision.
K.S.A. 19-1930 is important for timing because it says a jail keeper is not required to receive certain impaired, unconscious, seriously ill, or seriously injured prisoners until medical examination occurs. The same statute recognizes county jail custody for U.S., city, and certain DOC prisoners. After booking, the Chase County Attorney reviews reports and decides whether formal charges are filed in court. That filed case is separate from the jail record.
Chase County Jail Visitation Rules
The sheriff page confirms that Chase County Jail uses CIDNET/Visitel for phone, video, email, text, account creation, and deposits or funds. A public video terminal is located on the bottom floor of the Chase County Courthouse for visitors without home internet access, and courthouse-terminal appointments must be made 24 hours in advance. Visitors should confirm custody before scheduling because court days, holidays, release, transfer, or ICE status can change access.
| Contact Type | Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| On-site video visit | Monday-Friday 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m., excluding holidays and court days | Courthouse terminal; appointment 24 hours in advance |
| Telephone calls | 7 days a week, 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. | Jail telephone and data services support inmate communication |
| Online video visitation | Mondays 1:00 p.m.-9:30 p.m.; Tuesday-Sunday 8:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m., except court days | Court days limited to after business hours when court is not in session |
| Online platform | Visitel/CIDNET | Used for phone, remote video, email, text, account creation, and funds |
Visitors must be 18 or older to register for an account. Children 17 and under may join online visits with an adult. Visits are subject to recording and monitoring, and recording or photographing an inmate during a visit can revoke privileges. Proper attire is required.
Request Chase County Booking Records
No separate Chase County Sheriff's Office KORA form was found in accessible pages. The practical route is to call 620-273-6313 or visit or write the sheriff at 301 S. Walnut, Cottonwood Falls, KS 66845, and ask for the records custodian or procedure. A request should identify the person, approximate booking date, arresting agency if known, and requested record type. Under K.S.A. 45-218 and K.S.A. 45-220, agencies must provide request procedures and act on requests as soon as possible, not later than the end of the third business day.
Note: Confirm current custody before sending money, planning travel, or relying on a jail record for court status.
Chase County Records Sources
The official detention site is the local starting point for Chase County inmate records. The captured source is the Chase County Detention Center homepage.
When that site does not answer a custody question, the sheriff phone line and the state and federal locators become the next search channels.
For state custody, the captured KDOC KASPER search page shows the broader Kansas corrections search form.
KASPER should be used after a person leaves the Chase County jail for state prison or state supervision.
