Coffey County Jail Inmate Search and Mugshots, Burlington, KS

Start an inmate search for Coffey County, Kansas, on the sheriff's inmate roster, which lists current prisoners at the 21-bed Burlington jail plus people released in the last 48 hours; whether a booking photo or mugshot appears is up to the sheriff. The jail line is 620-364-3199, and the statewide VINELink lookup is a second check. Charges filed in district court appear on Kansas Courts Case Search.

1. How do I use the Burlington jail roster?

1. Open the roster and accept the disclaimer. 2. Look for the name among current inmates, then among the releases from the past two days. 3. A person in neither list may be in a neighboring jail, or the booking may still be in progress; call 620-364-3199. The jail holds county arrests, people serving city sentences and prisoners on holds for other agencies.
