Ask the agency that made the arrest. Kansas's Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215 to 45-223) lets the public request agency records, though some investigative files can be withheld. For El Dorado arrests call 316-321-9120, Andover 316-733-5177, Augusta 316-775-4500, and for deputies the sheriff's administrative office at 316-322-4254.

Pay bond only at the detention facility on Stone Road or through the district clerk, and confirm the amount first with reception at 316-322-4160. A caller who demands a gift card, wire or app payment to free an inmate is not the jail. Commercial bondsmen must be approved by the 13th District's chief judge (K.S.A. 22-2809b), so ask the clerk at 316-322-4370 whether a company is on the approved list.

Call reception at 316-322-4160 to confirm the person is still held there and has not been moved to a federal or out-of-county facility. Check the visiting schedule on the Detention Division page, bring a photo ID, and remember that letters are not accepted at the El Dorado address unless they are legal mail. For bond, ask which payment forms reception takes that day.
