Kansas Inmate Search

There are about 41,000 inmates in Kansas, distributed across the state prisons and the county jails. So, how do you find an inmate across the nine state prisons or in the 105 county jails? 

There are three main ways to locate an inmate; 

1. Through the Kansas State Offender Locator 
2. Through the Kansas Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation office for inmates in state prisons.  
3. Through the local police departments and the sheriff’s office, if an inmate is in the local jails.  

Kansas State Offender Locator 

The Kansas State inmate search database contains all the inmates incarcerated in holding facilities across the state.  

You will need the inmate’s name or KDOC Number to do the search. However, if you have more details about the inmate, you can click the advanced search option. The details include the following; 

• Race 
• Age and gender 
• Conviction county or parole supervision county 
• Social security number or identification number 
• Holding facility 

Double-check the inmate’s information before clicking the submit button. You also have the option of viewing the inmate’s mugshots. It makes the search easier. 

What does the online inmate search contain? 

Apart from the inmate’s details (name, race, gender, etc.), the search also contains the following: 

• The inmate’s charge 
• The release date or the court date 
• The name of the holding facility.  

Visit the Correctional Offices 

Alternatively, you can locate an inmate by visiting the state correctional department. They have their headquarters in Topeka, KS 66603, 714 SW Jackson, Suite 300. The department is in charge of the state prisons. Call the office at (785) 296-0144 with the inmate’s details for assistance. 

If the person is in one of the county jails, visit the sheriff’s office or website to access the jail roster.
