↑ Back to the question list2. How do I use the in-custody list?
Open the DGSO in-custody list and search by name. It covers people currently booked at the East 25th Street facility, whichever agency arrested them: Lawrence police, KU police, Eudora, Baldwin City or the sheriff's deputies. People leave the list when they bond out or are moved, and new arrivals take time to post, so call 785-830-1000 to confirm.
↑ Back to the question list3. Can I get a Douglas County mugshot?
Booking photos are not published with the in-custody list. Ask the sheriff's office at 785-841-0007 how to request a photo or an arrest report; the Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215) governs the request, and material tied to an open case can be withheld. Lawrence or KU police reports come from those departments. ICE detention files are requested through ICE FOIA.
↑ Back to the question list4. What does VINELink add?
VINELink tracks custody status across Kansas, so it also catches a transfer from Lawrence to another county or to state prison. Register for a call, text or email notice, or phone 866-574-8463 toll-free.
↑ Back to the question list5. Warrants in Lawrence and the surrounding county
Here, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office in Lawrence serves warrants, and deputies take calls at 785-841-0007. Kansas offers no statewide warrant search to the public, so check the Lawrence district court case on Kansas CaseSearch, which shows any bench warrant.

State law says an arrest must be followed promptly by a hearing (K.S.A. 22-2901). Lawrence Municipal Court in-custody sessions run Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 8:45 a.m. and Tuesday and Friday at 1 p.m.
↑ Back to the question list7. How is bond posted in Lawrence?

↑ Back to the question list9. How does a defendant get an appointed lawyer?
The 3 p.m. hearing is where a Lawrence defendant without money for a lawyer says so; that person then completes a financial affidavit, and counsel is appointed through the State Board of Indigents' Defense Services, 785-296-6631.
↑ Back to the question list10. Can I visit in person?
No; every visit at East 25th Street is by video. Register online with the jail's video provider or at a kiosk in the lobby at least 24 hours before the visit, then pick a date, time and location.
