Type the name and open the record. Charges sit on separate lines, each with its own bond, so add them for the total. A $0.00 line can mean no bond was allowed, a sentence is being served, or several charges share one case number. If a name drops off, the person was likely released, transferred or sent to prison; Kansas CaseSearch will show what happened in the case.

Yes. Register the name on VINELink, the state's free notification service, and pick how you want to hear about a release or move. VINE also confirms which agency holds someone if the county search comes up empty.

It depends on the bond the judge set: cash, own recognizance or professional surety. Impaired drivers may wait up to four hours for a sober ride, and domestic arrests wait out a cooling-off period. Property bagged at booking is returned at release. Our bail guide walks through each step.

Here in Wichita, warrants are served by deputies from the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office, often with help from Wichita police. The sheriff posts an online warrant search that's a good first stop, and if you'd rather talk to a person, the warrants office picks up at 316-660-3960. Kansas itself has no statewide warrant search, but Wichita's district court cases are open to anyone on Kansas CaseSearch, where a bench warrant shows as part of the case. The calmest way to clear a Sedgwick warrant is to let a defense lawyer set up a surrender at the Sedgwick County Detention Facility, 141 W. Elm St., downtown, rather than waiting to be stopped. If it all started with a skipped hearing, the district court clerk at 525 N. Main in Wichita can explain how to get back on the calendar; call 316-660-5801.

Inmates call out only; calls are prepaid or collect and recorded. U.S. calls cost 1.5 cents a minute, and each person gets two free calls and two free messages a week; emails and photos cost 5 cents each. For a true family emergency, call 316-660-5245 and a supervisor passes the word. See our phone page and email and text page.

All visits are by video and must be booked 24 hours ahead. Each inmate gets one free on-site hour a week, Monday through Friday 1 to 5:30 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Remote visits run daily 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 11 cents a minute, except shift change (2:30 to 3:30 p.m.) and meals; new remote users are approved on weekdays only.

Personal letters and photos are scanned and shown on a screen. Address them with the full name and inmate number to: Sedgwick County Adult Detention KS, P.O. Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. Use a return address, one inmate per envelope, and no cards, glue or packages. Never mail cash or money orders. See our mail page.

Legal mail and paperback books shipped straight from a publisher (two a week) go to the inmate at 141 W. Elm, Wichita, KS 67203, not to the scanning address.

Deposits for snacks, hygiene items and calls go through the jail's online deposit service. Our deposit guide gives the steps and the commissary page shows what can be bought.
