Grant County Jail Inmate Search
Grant County Jail Inmate Search and Mugshots, Ulysses, KS
Searching for an inmate in Grant County, Kansas, means calling the jail in the Law Enforcement Center at 210 E. Central Ave. in Ulysses, 620-356-3500, since the sheriff posts no roster, inmate list or mugshots online. The same number reaches the sheriff and the Ulysses Police Department, which share the building. VINELink gives a self-service custody check and release alerts.
1. Is my relative locked up in Ulysses?
Phone 620-356-3500 and give the full name; the fax is 620-356-1038. Deputies and Ulysses officers both book into this jail, which the sheriff's office, in place since 1888, operates. An arrest made elsewhere can mean a first stop in that county's jail.

No booking photos are published. A request for one, or for an arrest report, goes to the sheriff at 620-356-3500 under the Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215), and certain records may be closed. For ICE detainee files use ICE FOIA.
↑ Back to the question list5. Warrants and the sheriff in Ulysses
Ulysses is where the Grant County Sheriff's Office is based, and its deputies serve warrants; call 620-356-3500 to check. Kansas doesn't provide a statewide warrant search to the public, but Ulysses court cases are available on Kansas CaseSearch, with any bench warrant recorded in the file. To take care of it, ask a lawyer to set up your surrender at the Grant County Jail. For a missed Ulysses court date, the district court clerk at 108 S. Glenn picks up at 620-356-1526.
↑ Back to the question list6. How is bond set and posted?
The Ulysses magistrate normally fixes bond at an initial hearing that K.S.A. 22-2901 requires without unnecessary delay. Staff at 620-356-3500 explain how to post it at the Law Enforcement Center. Our Grant County bail page lists bond types and refunds.
↑ Back to the question list7. Which court will hear the case?
- Grant County District Court, Grant County Courthouse, 108 S. Glenn, Ulysses, KS 67880; 620-356-1526, fax 620-353-2131. It is one of six counties in the 26th Judicial District, with a magistrate seated in Ulysses; tickets are paid on the second floor. Search filings on Case Search. - City of Ulysses Municipal Court, City Hall, 115 W. Grant Ave., Ulysses, KS 67880, 620-356-4600. Our Ulysses court page covers each stage.
↑ Back to the question list8. Can a defendant without money get counsel?
The judge can appoint counsel after a sworn financial affidavit; the State Board of Indigents' Defense Services, 785-296-6631, pays for it.
↑ Back to the question list9. How do visits work?
Visits are digital only, from a home device or the kiosk in the Law Enforcement Center lobby. Visitors under 18 need a parent or guardian present. Call 620-356-3500 to set one up; see our visitation page.
↑ Back to the question list10. Mail, calls and money
- Mail: inmate's full name, Grant County Jail, 210 E. Central Ave., Ulysses, KS 67880; confirm current rules at 620-356-3500. See our mail page.
- Calls: outgoing only; see our phone page and messaging page.
- Money: ask the jail for deposit options; see our money page and commissary page.
11. Why do the sheriff and Ulysses police share one number?
Both agencies work out of the same Law Enforcement Center on East Central, and the jail is inside it. Deputies take calls outside city limits and Ulysses officers take calls inside town, but the front desk at 620-356-3500 answers for both and for the jail. That makes the arresting agency less important for a family: custody, bond and visit questions all go to one desk. A copy of a police report, though, has to come from whichever agency wrote it, so ask the desk which one made the arrest.
↑ Back to the question list12. What if a teenager is arrested?
A juvenile a judge orders detained goes to a regional youth detention center rather than the Ulysses jail; the sheriff's office at 620-356-3500 can name it.
↑ Back to the question list13. How do I trace a state prison inmate?
Search KASPER from the Kansas Department of Corrections, and use our Kansas prisons directory for contacts.
↑ Back to the question list14. Where does a federal case from Ulysses go?
Grant County belongs to the Wichita division of the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, clerk at 401 N. Market, Room 204, Wichita, KS 67202, 316-315-4200. The U.S. Marshals Service in Wichita, 316-765-6339, finds jail space for federal defendants before trial. After sentencing, check the BOP inmate locator.
↑ Back to the question list15. How do ICE detainers work in Ulysses?
- ICE can lodge a Form I-247A detainer once a person is booked.
- A posted state bond does not clear it.
- Ulysses jailers can hold someone "up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released" (8 CFR 287.7(d)); without ICE pickup, the person leaves.
- ICE's Chicago Field Office oversees Kansas, 872-351-3990.
- Find detainees on the ICE detainee locator or at 888-351-4024.
16. What happens after a missed hearing at the Ulysses courthouse?
The district court at 108 S. Glenn (620-356-1526) forfeits the bond and issues an arrest warrant under K.S.A. 22-2807; deputies at the law enforcement center, 620-356-3500, serve it. Violating some other release condition can instead end the bond, after which the judge decides a fresh one. Remaining away more than 30 days after the forfeiture is itself an offense under K.S.A. 21-5915.
↑ Back to the question list17. Are days in the Ulysses jail subtracted from the sentence?
Yes. When the district judge at 620-356-1526 orders confinement, K.S.A. 21-6615 requires a sentence start date reflecting every day held in custody before the case ended. The jail at 620-356-3500 records the booking and release times. Credit already granted on another case running consecutively is not applied twice, and jail in another state with no local hold does not count.
↑ Back to the question list18. Does an appointed lawyer cost a Ulysses defendant anything?
It does: $100, owed to the South Glenn clerk (620-356-1526) under K.S.A. 22-4529. Grant County judges can excuse it, and Ulysses defendants get it back if prosecutors drop the case or a jury acquits. Staff at the law enforcement center, 620-356-3500, can tell the court a prisoner is asking for counsel.
↑ Back to the question list19. Who polices Grant County, and what are the numbers?
- Grant County Sheriff's Office, 210 E. Central Ave., Ulysses, KS 67880: 620-356-3500, for calls outside city limits.
- Ulysses Police Department, same building: the KBI lists no separate phone, so Ulysses police are reached at the shared Law Enforcement Center number, 620-356-3500.
- Hickok and rural Grant rely on sheriff's deputies, with no town police.
- Kansas Highway Patrol: 785-296-6800. Emergencies: 911.
