If you believe that a person you know is in jail in Wichita or Kansas, you can use the following steps to know exactly where the individual has been held.

1. Search Online

If you are aware of the state where the subject of your inquiry may have been imprisoned, you can easily start by visiting the district’s website. Below is a link to Wichita’s inmate search page.

Wichita’s Inmate Search

You can browse the webpages of the local sheriff’s office, police force, or municipal court if you’re not looking for somebody in Wichita. Since some district jail websites include databases of people being held there, doing this may yield results. Typically, a search can be done using a person’s name.

Fortunately, more and more districts are starting to have an online tool that can be used to locate interns, and a county law enforcement page can be utilized to obtain the link to such a tool.

The next step would be to pick up your phone and call the jail directly for complete confirmation once you have located the person you are looking for through this technique.

 Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Search

2. You can look up the person on the Federal Bureau of Prisons website as well. Starting at the Federal Bureau of Prisons website will be the best place to search if you want to learn more about a person who you think may have been detained in federal prison rather than county jail.

All you need to do to get the information you need on this website is just the individual’s first and last name. You can do the search here.

3. Direct search

You can do this by calling the county prison or court clerk’s office in the district and chatting with them personally. Both the district jail’s website and your local phone book have the contact information.

Request a conversation with the arresting officer; he or she may be able to tell you where the subject has been sent.
