Woodson County Jail Roster
The Woodson County Sheriff's Office publishes jail custody information for the Woodson Detention Center. The official roster path starts with a choice screen for Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release. Current Inmates shows people currently held at the detention center. The 48 Hour Release view shows people released from the detention center within the last 48 hours. Those two choices matter because a person may leave custody before a court case or bond question is fully resolved.
The roster does not replace the District Court case file. A booking charge is a custody label from the jail side, while the filed charge, plea, hearing status, and disposition are court records. The roster research also found a warning that charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances. For the court side of charges after booking, the related Woodson County arrest records and charges page explains how a roster label can become a filed court charge.
The Woodson Detention Center roster choice page is the starting point for the official custody views.
The choice page keeps current custody and recent release status separate, which helps avoid confusing an old booking with active jail custody.
Use Woodson County Inmate Roster
A Woodson County inmate lookup should start with the roster choice page, then move to the current roster or 48-hour release list based on the question. The current roster inspected in the research displayed an Inmate Roster count, booking profile links, mugshots, booking numbers, booking dates, charges, bonds, and sort controls. It also included options to sort by name or date and to choose current or released status.
- Open the Woodson Detention Center roster choice page and choose Current Inmates for active custody.
- Use 48 Hour Release if the person may have been released recently or if a current roster match is missing.
- Sort by Name or Date when the list is long, then compare booking date, charge text, and bond.
- Open View Profile for the inmate detail page and read the booking number, agency, charges, bond, and warning text.
- Call 620-625-8640 before posting bond, relying on a charge label, mailing items, or planning a visit.
The Woodson current inmate roster is the live list identified in the research.
The roster image reflects why profile links and sort controls are part of the lookup process, not just the name list.
Woodson County Roster Controls
The Woodson County jail roster does not function like a broad name-search form. It uses public links, filters, and sort controls. That is useful in a small detention roster because the reader can compare booking dates and profile pages, but it also means a missing name should not be treated as a final legal answer. VINE and phone confirmation are still needed when custody status is time sensitive.

Woodson County Inmate Profile Fields
The inspected sample inmate profile showed the type of information a Woodson County inmate record may display. The profile included a mugshot, booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date, charges, bond, and a warning about changes after court appearances. It did not show some fields that larger jails sometimes publish, such as height, weight, eye color, address, pod, next court date, or medical flags. Those omissions should not be filled from unofficial sources.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The name displayed on the inmate profile. |
| Mugshot | A front booking image if available on the profile. |
| Booking # | The jail booking identifier, such as 26-494 in the inspected sample. |
| Age, gender, race | Basic profile descriptors shown by the roster. |
| Arresting agency | The agency tied to the booking, such as Woodson County Sheriff's Office. |
| Booking date | The date and time of intake into Woodson Detention Center. |
| Charges | Booking or warrant labels, which are accusations or holds, not convictions. |
| Bond | The listed bond amount, subject to confirmation with detention staff. |
| Warning | A notice that charges and bail may change after court appearances. |
Woodson County Jail Contact
The official facility label in the research is Woodson Detention Center, connected to the Woodson County Sheriff's Office. The same sheriff contact block gives a 24-hour phone number and administrative office hours. No official capacity number was located in the research. Because no separate Woodson visitation, money, phone, or commissary page was found, the jail contact block is the controlling source for questions that the roster does not answer.

Woodson County Booking Records
A Woodson County booking record starts with custody at the detention center. The roster may show a charge label such as burglary, theft by deception, forgery, criminal trespass, probation violation, drug court warrant, bond revocation, aggravated escape from custody, aggravated criminal threat, or other booking text. These are useful search clues, but they are not findings of guilt. A later District Court record controls the filed charges, amendments, plea, dismissal, diversion, verdict, sentence, or revocation status.
Bond is also time sensitive. The profile warning states that charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and that bond companies or people wishing to post bail should contact detention center staff for the correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers. In Woodson County, that means calling 620-625-8640 before relying on a roster dollar amount or sending payment through any nonlocal process.
Note: A jail booking can connect to a criminal case, a warrant, a municipal matter, or a hold, so the label should be verified before drawing conclusions.
Woodson County Inmate Fallbacks
The roster is the local starting point, but it is not the only custody tool. Kansas VINE is a statewide custody notification service for custody status and alerts. It can help victims and families track changes, especially when a person has left local custody or when a user needs notification support. The 31st Judicial District resources also link Kansas Department of Corrections resources, which matter after a person moves from county jail to state prison.
- Woodson roster: use for current jail custody, recent release, booking profile, charge label, and bond lead.
- Jail phone: use for current bail, case numbers, charges, visitation, and mail questions.
- Kansas VINE: use for custody status and notification registration.
- KDOC offender search: use for sentenced state prison custody, not local jail custody.
- District Court: use for filed charges, hearings, dispositions, and case records.
Woodson County Visitation Details
No official Woodson Sheriff's page was located for visitation schedule, visitor ID rules, dress code, child visitor rules, video visitation, mail format, money deposits, commissary, phone vendor, or attorney visit procedures. That gap should be handled plainly. Family members should call the 24-hour sheriff or jail number before mailing property, scheduling a visit, posting bond, depositing funds, or relying on a roster charge or bond amount.
| Topic | Official Woodson Detail Found | How to Proceed |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not posted in official sources located | Call 620-625-8640. |
| Visitor ID requirements | Not located | Confirm before travel. |
| Dress code | Not located | Do not rely on rules from other counties. |
| Video visitation | No provider located | Call jail before creating any account. |
| Mail address format | No inmate-mail format located | Use the sheriff address only after confirmation. |
| Money deposits | No vendor located | Do not send funds through an unverified vendor. |
| Commissary and phones | No provider located | Ask detention staff for current rules. |
Woodson County Jail vs Prison
Woodson Detention Center custody is local jail custody. It can include new arrests, warrant arrests, pretrial detainees, bond holds, short local sentences, transfers, or people awaiting court action. Kansas Department of Corrections custody is different. KDOC records are for sentenced state offenders and other state correctional supervision. A person may appear first on the Woodson roster and later in state systems if sentenced to prison.
Federal custody is also separate. Woodson County jail records do not replace federal Bureau of Prisons or U.S. Marshals custody records. For most local users, the useful split is simple: start with the Woodson roster for current county custody, use District Court records for the case, use VINE for custody alerts, and use KDOC only when the person has moved into state correctional custody.
The local court connection is also important for timing. A roster profile can show a bond or charge before the next first appearance, review hearing, or status conference. After that hearing, the court may change bond, add conditions, amend a charge, or set another date. That is why the Woodson roster, the jail phone number, and District Court records should be read together when a family member is trying to understand custody status.
