Coffey County Jail Roster Search
The official local starting point is the Coffey County Sheriff current inmate roster. The roster is maintained by the Coffey County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Thomas Johnson, and is tied to the jail phone line at 620-364-3199. The roster is useful for current jail custody, recent booking details, and the public view of charges and bond listed with a booking. It is not a full criminal history, not a court judgment, and not a state prison search.
The Sheriff roster disclaimer says the information is collected from public sources and provided for convenience. It also says the Sheriff and Detention Center cannot certify accuracy or authenticity. That caveat matters in Coffey County inmate records because charges and bail can change after court appearances. Bond companies, family members, and anyone posting bail should call jail staff for the current bail amount, charges, and case numbers before acting on a roster entry.
The Coffey County Sheriff offender-registration page is a separate resource from the jail roster.
That distinction helps separate current jail custody from registration duties handled by law enforcement after a qualifying conviction or registration event.
Use the Coffey County Inmate Roster
The Coffey County inmate roster gives several controls for narrowing or sorting jail records. A name search works best when the spelling is known, while the current and released filters help distinguish a person still in custody from someone shown through the recent-release path. The 48-hour release entry point comes from the Sheriff roster disclaimer page, so it should be read as a recent release tool, not as a full booking archive.
- Open the current inmate roster from the Coffey County Sheriff's Office and review the disclaimer before searching.
- Use Search By Name when a first or last name is known, or use Show All to scan the current list.
- Sort by Name or Date, then choose newest-to-oldest or oldest-to-newest when booking time matters.
- Open the View Profile link for the booking number, charges, bond, arresting agency, and profile-level fields.
- Call the Coffey County Jail at 620-364-3199 before relying on bond, charge, or case-number details.
Note: Roster entries may help identify a related court case, but the court file is maintained by the Clerk of the District Court.
Coffey County Roster Search Fields
The roster interface is compact. Its controls are aimed at finding a booking, then opening a profile. Official public materials did not show advanced filters for race, gender, charge level, agency, housing unit, or court date. Because the roster is a jail tool, the most reliable workflow is to search the roster first and then confirm any custody-sensitive detail by phone.
| Field / Control | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Sort or tab | No | Sorts or lists inmate names. |
| Date | Sort or tab | No | Sorts booking entries by date. |
| Current | Filter or tab | No | Shows current inmates. |
| Released | Filter or tab | No | Includes the recent release path from the disclaimer page. |
| Sort Newest to Oldest | Link/control | No | Sorts by booking time descending. |
| Sort Oldest to Newest | Link/control | No | Sorts by booking time ascending. |
| Search By Name | Text | No | Search and Show All buttons support name lookup or list browsing. |
| Pagination | Links | No | Page numbers, Next, and Last appear when the list spans pages. |
The Sheriff fee schedule is separate from the inmate roster, but it shows jail-related costs and report-copy fees that may matter when a person needs a law enforcement record rather than a custody screen.
For jail records, the fee page should be paired with the roster and records-request process instead of treated as a search portal.
Coffey County Inmate Profile Data
A Coffey County inmate profile expands the roster result. Visible profile fields include full name, booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date and time, charges, and bond. The profile also carries a presumption-of-innocence notice and a warning that charges and bail may change after court appearances. It did not show a reliable public inventory for housing pod, medical flags, magistrate name, court date, or release date.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Full name | The person booked into the Coffey County jail. |
| Booking number | The jail booking identifier tied to that custody entry. |
| Age, gender, race | Basic profile identifiers visible on the inspected inmate profile. |
| Arresting agency | The agency linked to the arrest or hold. |
| Booking date/time | When the jail booking was recorded. |
| Charges | Booking-level charge text, which may differ from later court filings. |
| Bond | Bond shown on the profile, subject to change and jail confirmation. |

The KBI registered offender entry page is not a jail custody tool.
Use the KBI route for registered offender information, not for current Coffey County jail population or bond information.
Coffey County Booking and Holds
The detention page draws a clear line between pretrial confinement and sentenced jail time. Pretrial custody is used to assure appearance in court, while sentenced inmates are held as punishment after conviction or sentence. In Coffey County inmate records, that means a booking can reflect a new arrest, a warrant arrest, a parole or probation hold, a municipal court sentence, another agency hold, or a person waiting for transfer to a state bed. The reason for custody is not the same as a final case outcome.
Booking charges may also be different from formal court charges. Law enforcement can book a person based on arrest facts or a warrant, while the County Attorney or court record may later show amended, filed, dismissed, or reduced charges. For the court side of that process, Coffey County court charge records are separate from the jail roster.
Current and released roster views should be read with the same care. The current view points to people who appear to be in Coffey County jail custody. The released view and 48-hour release path can help confirm a recent jail release, but it does not replace a court disposition or a full arrest report. If a person is absent from the current roster, they may have been released, transferred, held by another agency, moved to KDOC custody, or never booked into the Coffey County jail at all.
For bond questions, the safest sequence is roster first, phone second, court third. The roster can reveal that a bond field exists. Jail staff can confirm whether the amount is still current. The District Court can address the next hearing, case number, payment obligation, or warrant status. Treat those as linked but separate sources.

Coffey County Inmate Funds
The Sheriff's money page says Coffey County Jail offers several ways to add money to a commissary account. Online deposits use JailATM. The listed flow is to register or sign in, choose Send Money Now, select the state and facility, enter at least three characters of the resident's last name or the resident ID, enter payment details and deposit amount, check the terms-and-conditions box, review the details, and send money.
On-site deposits are made in the Sheriff's Office lobby. The money page lists 605 Neosho St., Burlington, KS 66839 for the lobby machine, while the Sheriff footer lists 625 Neosho Street, 1st Floor. Because both are official-source references, confirm the lobby location with jail staff before visiting. Online or in-person card payments may include processing fees; Sheriff material lists 2.5% for in-person card payments and 2.99% for online card payment requests.
Coffey County Inmate Record Requests
Some jail-related records are not available from the roster screen. A person may need a report copy, a booking-related law enforcement record, or another sheriff record that is handled through the Sheriff's records request process. The Sheriff provides a records-request page and a forms index, plus a K.S.A. 45-230 notice warning that names and addresses from public records may not be used for certain commercial solicitation. Fees, if any, are authorized by email before a fee-bearing request is completed.
A useful request is narrow. Include the person's name, date range, record type, incident number or booking number if known, and the requester's contact information. The request path should not be used to ask for legal advice, to get an urgent custody update, or to resolve a warrant. For those issues, call the jail at 620-364-3199, the Sheriff's non-emergency line at 620-364-2123, or the court that controls the case.
Report copies and jail custody screens also serve different purposes. A roster profile can show public booking fields. A law enforcement report may describe an incident or investigation. A court file can show filed charges, hearings, pleas, disposition, sentence, and later case activity. Keeping those files separate prevents a booking note from being mistaken for a final case outcome.
Coffey County Inmates and State Searches
Local inmate records do not cover every custody setting. The KDOC KASPER offender search applies to people in KDOC-funded or KDOC-operated custody or supervision and is updated each working day, excluding weekends. It is not a complete criminal history and should not replace a court record search or jail phone confirmation.
KASPER is most useful when the person is no longer in the Coffey County Jail and may have moved into state custody or supervision.
Kansas VINELink provides custody status and notification services for county jail offenders and is free and confidential. The Kansas Attorney General material notes that VINE does not include KDOC prison residents, so VINE and KASPER answer different questions.
VINELink can help with custody notifications, while the Coffey County roster remains the local booking and jail-status source.
The KBI registered offender system is another separate source. It concerns registered sex, violent, and drug offenders, and it is not a complete background check or current jail roster. A person can appear in a court record, jail record, KDOC record, VINE notification system, or registered offender registry for different reasons and at different times. Match the source to the custody or record question being asked.
