Wallace County Jail Inmate Bail & Bonds
Wallace County Bail: Sharon Springs, Kansas
Bail and release after a Wallace County arrest are handled through the Wallace County Sheriff's Office, 313 N. Main St., Sharon Springs, KS 67758, staffed around the clock at 785-852-4288. Neither the county nor the state sheriffs' association describes a jail here, so ask the deputy on duty which facility has the person; the 15th Judicial District court in the same courthouse sets bond.
1. Which jail has them?
Official Wallace County pages list a sheriff's office open 24 hours but say nothing about a jail, so we do not name one. Phone 785-852-4288 and ask where the person was booked, then call that facility about the bond.

↑ Back to the question list2. How much is bond?
The booking facility or the sheriff can give the figure. VINELink lists the agency with custody. Our inmate page explains the search.
↑ Back to the question list3. Mountain Time
Sharon Springs keeps Mountain Time, an hour behind Topeka, so read every court date and release time in that zone.
↑ Back to the question list4. Who sets it?
Bond is a matter for the 15th Judicial District, which joins Cheyenne, Logan, Rawlins, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas and Wallace and keeps a magistrate in Wallace County. Kansas law calls for a swift first appearance (K.S.A. 22-2901).
↑ Back to the question list5. Bond forms
Kansas allows own-recognizance release or a secured bond (cash, a surety, or land), with conditions attached (K.S.A. 22-2802).
↑ Back to the question list6. Bondsmen
A compensated surety keeps a premium of no less than 10% of the bond and does not return it (K.S.A. 22-2809b). Ask the holding jail which companies it accepts.
↑ Back to the question list7. How to post
- Reach the deputy at 785-852-4288 and learn where the person sits.
- Ask that facility what it accepts and when.
- Pay, or hire an accepted surety, and hold on to the receipt showing the Sharon Springs hearing date.
8. Rules after release
Each hearing at the Sharon Springs courthouse must be attended; a charged person crime adds at least 72 hours of no contact with the victim.
↑ Back to the question list9. Asking for less
A bond-review motion goes to the district court; defendants who qualify receive counsel funded by the Board of Indigents' Defense Services (785-296-6631).
↑ Back to the question list10. Getting cash back
Cash posted with the court is returned by the Wallace County clerk at the close of the case, minus lawful costs, if no appearance was skipped (K.S.A. 22-2807).

313 N. Main St., Sharon Springs; 785-995-4289. More on our court page.
↑ Back to the question list12. Federal custody
Federal holds ignore anything posted in county court. Wallace County cases belong to the Salina division, which sits in Topeka.
- U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, 444 S.E. Quincy, Room 490, Topeka, KS 66683; 785-338-5400.

13. Immigration detainers
