Anderson County does not put booking photos on the web, and VINE has no pictures. If you want one, including for a news story, ask the sheriff's office at 785-448-5678; release is the sheriff's decision.

Federal agencies rarely make booking photos public. The U.S. Marshals Service may share one, for instance when looking for a fugitive. Photos held by ICE are requested through its FOIA portal.

In Anderson County it's the sheriff's deputies in Garnett who serve warrants, so start by phoning 785-448-5678 with the person's full name and birth date. There isn't a public warrant search that covers all of Kansas, though Kansas CaseSearch lets you pull up district court cases and spot a bench warrant on the docket. Turning yourself in at the Anderson County Jail, ideally with a lawyer beside you, is the usual way to put a warrant behind you. If it came from a missed court date, call the district court clerk on East 4th Avenue, at 100 E. 4th Ave., Garnett (785-448-6886), and ask about getting back on the calendar.

A judge or magistrate of the 4th Judicial District decides release, and Kansas requires the first appearance to happen promptly (K.S.A. 22-2901). The order may allow release on a signature, a cash bond, a bondsman's surety or a property bond. The jail at 785-448-5678 has the figure. For posting steps, conditions and refunds see our Anderson County bail guide.

The jail knows the booking charges. Filing decisions belong to the county attorney, and the court clerk keeps the calendar: Anderson County District Court, Anderson County Courthouse, 100 E. 4th Ave., Garnett, KS 66032 (PO Box 305); 785-448-6886, fax 785-448-3230. Case Search shows the same hearings online. Garnett hearings, step by step, are on our Anderson court page.

Short of funds for counsel? Say so to the 4th District judge on day one; an income form comes next. Kansas pays for appointed defense through the Board of Indigents' Defense Services, 785-296-6631. Keep case talk off jail phones, which may be recorded.

Call 785-448-5678 to tell staff about prescriptions, conditions and the pharmacy used. Treatment is up to the jail's medical provider, and emergencies go to a hospital. Report any suicide concern immediately.

Visiting days are set by the jail, so check at 785-448-5678 and bring photo ID; our visitation page has general tips. Address mail to the inmate's full name, Anderson County Jail, 135 E. 5th Ave., Garnett, KS 66032. Ask the jail how phone accounts and deposits are set up, then see our phone page, money page and commissary page.

Once bond is accepted, staff complete paperwork and run a warrant check. A hold from another county, a state agency or probation can mean transport instead of release. Stored belongings are handed back at release.

The adult jail does not hold juveniles. If locked detention is required, a juvenile center outside the jail takes the youth, and juvenile court records are confidential. Call the sheriff's office at 785-448-5678 to learn where the youth was placed.

After a prison sentence the inmate stays in Garnett until the Kansas Department of Corrections picks them up. KDOC evaluates new admissions at its reception and diagnostic center and then assigns a facility. Find them on KASPER or read our Kansas state prisons page.
