Coffey Detention Release Paths
The Coffey County Sheriff's Office operates the Kansas Detention Center in Burlington. Its population includes people awaiting trial, warrant arrests, county sentences, parole or probation holds, municipal-court sentences from within the county, people awaiting state-prison or community-corrections beds, and other-agency holds. That mix means a departure has more than one possible destination.
A person may leave for the community after bond, an own-recognizance order, time served, dismissal, probation, or another lawful order. A different person may be delivered to the Kansas Department of Corrections, another county, a federal authority, or another custodian. The public release timestamp establishes that the Coffey County jail recorded an exit. It does not expose the reason or destination.
| Possible path | Record to check next |
|---|---|
| Community release | Sheriff release sheet plus the relevant bond, dismissal, probation, or sentencing order. |
| KDOC transfer | KASPER after state intake, matched with the sheriff destination field if available. |
| Another county or agency | The receiving custodian's roster or records office. |
| Federal or immigration custody | The appropriate federal system, only when a hold, filing, or release record supports that path. |
Confirm Coffey Detention Releases
The official roster gateway labels the county product “48 Hour Release.” No separate 24-hour or 72-hour sheriff feed was verified. The list is a rolling convenience view rather than an archive, so record the access time and each displayed release timestamp.
- Open the sheriff's released roster sorted by release time.
- Match the full name with booking number, age, booking time, charges, and profile details.
- Copy the exact release date and time. Do not infer the reason from charges or elapsed time.
- Call 620-364-3199 when a current custody or transfer question is time-sensitive.
- Request the release sheet when authority, destination, or documentary proof matters.
A person absent from both current and recent views has not been proved released. The card may have expired, data may lag, spelling may differ, or the booking may have ended in a transfer. The full Coffey County released-inmate search explains how court, state, and federal paths fit around the local record.
Note: Preserve the booking number because it is the best local key for a call, court comparison, or records request.
Coffey Detention Release Fields
The live card displays name, booking number, age, release date and time, booking date and time, charges, and a profile link. The inspected profile added gender, race, arresting agency, and charge detail. No booking photograph, release reason, destination, or bond release field appeared in the observed profile.
| Field | Meaning and limit |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Identifies one local custody event, not the whole court case. |
| Booking timestamp | Shows when the jail recorded the custody episode beginning. |
| Release timestamp | Shows when this custodian recorded the exit. |
| Charges | Give booking context but do not establish the final disposition. |
| Arresting agency | Appears on the expanded profile and may help identify the correct event. |
| Reason and destination | Not shown on the observed card; seek the release sheet or court order. |
The sheriff disclaims certification of the website's accuracy or authenticity. A custodian-produced release sheet, written response, or certified court copy is stronger evidence when exact timing or legal authority controls.
Coffey Detention Release Records
The official records page links an electronic request form. Identify the person by full name, date of birth if known, booking number if known, and a narrow date range. Ask for existing documents, not an explanation. Useful items include the booking sheet, release sheet, custody-status or movement log, bond or release authority, destination or receiving agency if maintained and public, and booking photograph.
Electronic copies and a cost estimate may be requested. The sheriff states that it will email for authorization before completing work that carries a fee. Posted report-copy prices are $2.50 digitally, $2 by mail, and $15 on DVD, but those lines are not a guaranteed total for every request. The custodian quotes the particular work.
Kansas Open Records Act access remains subject to lawful exemptions and redaction. A response delay is not proof of a release outcome. No fixed Coffey-specific retention period was verified for the underlying release sheet or photograph, and the 48-hour web window is not a destruction schedule.
Note: Ask for the segregable public portion and the cited legal basis if part of a Coffey County record is withheld.
Coffey Detention Center Contact
Use the jail line for a time-sensitive named check, current bail or charge clarification, and the release-versus-transfer question. The administrative line routes routine office matters. Although jail and dispatch functions operate around the clock, posted administrative hours govern nonurgent records contact.

Do not send private identifiers through social media. Use the official form for a document and the jail line for a live status question. Those channels create a clearer record of what was asked and which office answered.
Coffey Detention Court Records
Coffey County District Court belongs to Kansas's Fourth Judicial District. Its docket and filed orders can explain bond, dismissal, probation, sentence, revocation, warrant, or satisfaction events. The sheriff remains the source for the actual county-jail exit time. An order may authorize release before jail staff complete physical processing, so the two timestamps need not match.
Search the Kansas court portal by party or case number and select the correct court. Then seek the filed bond or release order, journal entry, sentencing order, probation order, dismissal, revocation, or discharge entry from the clerk when exact language matters. K.S.A. 22-3426 requires the judgment record to carry key charge, plea or verdict, judgment, sentence, supervision, concurrency, and incarceration-credit facts in covered matters.
A Burlington ordinance case follows the municipal-court path, not the Fourth Judicial District prosecution path. The county detention page says its jail houses people serving municipal-court sentences from within Coffey County. Thus, the municipal court explains the disposition while the sheriff verifies custody and release.
Coffey Release Offices Stay Separate
Coffey County's newer Law Enforcement Center is immediately west of the courthouse. County materials place sheriff, emergency dispatch, county attorney, and jail functions in the Burlington law-enforcement complex. That physical concentration can make follow-up convenient, but it does not merge the records or the legal roles.
The sheriff records booking, custody movement, and physical departure. The court records the order and case result. The county attorney has a separate prosecutorial role. When two entries differ, preserve both records and ask the office responsible for the disputed field. Proximity is never a reason to treat a roster card as a court judgment.
This local distinction also explains why a public release card without a reason is not defective merely because a court order exists nearby. Each custodian publishes and retains its own record under its own duties.
Coffey Detention Release Limits
No official source found in the research states a standard Coffey County release hour, the physical door used, where family may wait, how property is returned, or whether weekend and holiday releases are shifted. No local county-jail earned-time percentage was verified. These facts should be obtained from the jail for the specific booking rather than borrowed from another county.
The same caution applies when a name vanishes from the current-inmate view. Check the official released list for a matching booking and timestamp, but remember that its public window lasts only 48 hours. An older absence calls for the sheriff's electronic records form, not a guess about when or why custody ended. Ask for the release sheet, movement history, and destination or receiving agency if those fields are maintained and public. A court order can then explain the legal basis, while KASPER or another custodian can show whether the person remained confined after leaving Coffey County.
- Bonded out
- County detention ends under bond terms, while the case continues.
- Time served
- A custodial term or credited time is satisfied, though another case or supervision may remain.
- Transferred
- The person leaves this jail but stays in another custodian's control.
- Probation hold
- A custody episode tied to alleged supervision action that requires court and supervising-agency records.
For a planned pickup, confirm the release and meeting details directly with the jail. The public feed is not a release appointment system.
