About the Wyandotte County Detention Center

The Wyandotte County Detention Center in Kansas has a rated capacity of 430 inmates, even though when it was built in 1990 it was rated for 308 inmates. However, with bouble bunking, the capacity can increase to over 500 inmates if needed. the only other option to deal with this ongoing overcrowding issue is to contract with neighboring counties as Andrew County Missouri to bunk their overflow, but that can be expensive, takes a lot of extra manpower they don't have to move inmates back and forth, and puts them in a predicament when the neighboring jails are at capacity.

The facility, made up of two imposing, five story towers, along with the sheriff's office and an enclosed parking garage, takes up an entire city block in downtown Kansas City between N. 7th and 8th, and Barnett and Ann Avenues on the East and West sides.

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Wyandotte County Detention Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Wyandotte County Detention Center, call the jail’s booking line at 913-573-2865.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Wyandotte County Detention Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Wyandotte County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Wyandotte County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Wyandotte County Detention Center?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Wyandotte County and other Kansas and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Wyandotte County Detention Center will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Wyandotte County Detention Center Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

The Wyandotte County Sheriff recommends that you might want to use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Wyandotte County.

However if you don't want to use a bail bond agent:

  • You can always pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Wyandotte County, or in some cases the state of Kansas, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Wyandotte County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
  • The typical fee for a bond in Kansas is between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15% or less.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1,500.00.
  • Pay by cash, cashier's check, money order or credit card at the Wyandotte County Detention Center, or the courthouse in Wyandotte County where the offense took place.

Call 913-573-2865 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Wyandotte County inmate locator.
