Jackson County Jail Overview

Jackson County Jail is operated by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and serves as the county jail for adult men and women. It holds people booked after local arrests, people remanded by court order, sentenced misdemeanor inmates, and people held for other agencies when the roster or jail staff confirms that status. Kansas law places the county jail and its prisoners in the sheriff's charge, and the sheriff's site routes jail users to the roster, jail information page, PREA page, warrants, Most Wanted, and VINELink.

The official facility address is 210 U.S. 75 Highway, Holton, KS 66436. The main sheriff's office phone is 785-364-2251, and the correctional staff and bond decision line listed on the jail information page is 785-364-4121. The Kansas Sheriffs' Association profile lists weekday office hours as 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. For time-sensitive custody, release, bond, or visit questions, call before relying on a web listing.

Jackson County Jail Capacity

The 2024 PREA Final Audit Report gives the most detailed facility profile for Jackson County Jail. It lists a designed capacity of 122, a current population of 82, an average daily population of 87 for the prior 12 months, and seven housing units. The same audit describes low, medium, and high custody levels, male and female adult prisoners, no youthful inmates, and no over-capacity point during the prior 12 months.

A second official jail-size source uses a different bed count. The Kansas Sheriffs' Association Jackson County profile lists jail size as 108, with 86 male beds and 22 female beds. Those two figures should be read with their dates and sources rather than forced into one number. The PREA audit is a facility audit figure, while the association profile is a sheriff profile bed split.

Jackson County Jail Roster Lookup

Current Jackson County Jail inmates are searched through the official sheriff jail roster. The roster is hosted on the sheriff's site and begins with a disclaimer that must be accepted before the inmate list appears. At inspection, entries showed name, booking number, image area, charges, bond, arresting agency, booking date and time, age, sex, and race. The public list did not show a housing unit, full date of birth, court date, medical information, visitation list, or release history.

The roster is the first channel, not the only channel. Call 785-364-2251 or 785-364-4121 when a person is missing, a release is recent, or a bond decision is urgent. Use a Kansas Open Records Act request to the sheriff for booking records or photos not shown online. After a prison sentence or transfer, search KASPER for Kansas Department of Corrections custody, BOP Inmate Locator for federal sentenced custody, ICE ODLS for immigration custody, and VINELink for custody notifications where the agency reports data.

1. Open the sheriff's jail roster and accept the roster disclaimer to view current entries.
2. Search by name or booking number. Booking numbers on sample records used a compact letter and number format.
3. Compare the entry to the known booking date, charge text, arresting agency, age, sex, and race before treating it as a match.
4. Call jail staff if the roster result is missing, stale, or tied to a bond or release question.
5. Move to KASPER, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINELink when the person has left county jail custody.

The Jackson County Sheriff's roster page shows the current roster search fields and public booking list after the user accepts the disclaimer.

The roster is useful for county jail custody, but it should be checked with jail staff when bond, transfer, or release timing matters.

Jackson County Jail Visits

Jackson County Jail uses City Tele-Coin for video visitation. The sheriff's jail information page lists three daily visit windows and says web-based visits may last up to 30 minutes. Jail staff may monitor visits, and visits may be recorded. Staff may also stop a visit and revoke future privileges for disruptive, inappropriate, or dress-code-related conduct by the visitor or inmate.

Most family and friend visits can be handled through the video system rather than a trip to the jail lobby. Visitors who need an on-site terminal, a lobby kiosk, or official jail business should call the facility first. The official pages inspected did not publish visitor parking rates, a public entry map, or detailed ADA entrance notes.

The sheriff's jail information page publishes the video visitation windows, City Tele-Coin registration note, bond instructions, and inmate phone details.

That page is the local source to check before scheduling a visit or using the lobby kiosk for an inmate account.

Jackson County Jail Money

City Tele-Coin is the common service named in the Jackson County Jail research for inmate money, video, and phone access. Money can be added online at CityTeleCoin.com at any time or through the lobby kiosk at the jail. Inmates may place calls from 7 am to 10 pm daily, either through an inmate-funded direct account or collect calling. Family and friends may also use City Tele-Coin customer service at 800-682-0707.

Bond is handled separately from ordinary commissary money. The sheriff's jail information page says to ask correctional staff about the inmate's charges and bond amount, then decide whether to pay cash bond or use an approved bonding agent. Staff should be notified at 785-364-4121. If money is placed for bond, select the BOND account. The sheriff page warns that cash bonds are posted in the defendant's name only and are refunded to the defendant after allowed court deductions.

Jackson County Jail Intake

A typical Jackson County Jail custody path starts with arrest or court remand, then transport to the jail, identity checks, property handling, search, medical or mental-health observation, booking record creation, booking photo, charge and bond entry, phone access, classification, and housing assignment. The roster may show booking charges and bond entries before court filings catch up, so booking text should not be read as a conviction.

The PREA material adds important intake detail. New inmates receive education about their right to be free from sexual abuse and sexual harassment. Staff conduct an objective risk assessment for victimization or predation, and the result informs housing and program assignment. Kansas law also supports medical screening before jail acceptance in serious illness, injury, unconsciousness, or impairment situations involving alcohol or drugs.

Remand

A court order placing a person in jail custody.

Detainer

A hold from another agency that may affect release.

Classification

The jail's custody and housing assessment.

PR bond

Release on a promise to appear when the court allows it.

Jackson County Jail Safety

The Jackson County Sheriff's PREA page states a zero-tolerance policy for sexual assault and sexual misconduct. It covers inmate-to-inmate conduct and staff-to-inmate conduct. The public PREA reporting number is 785-486-2694, and the page links victim-assistance resources through YWCA Northeast Kansas. The 2024 PREA audit found 45 standards met, 0 exceeded, and 0 not met.

The audit also reported no youthful inmates, no volunteers, no contractors, and 13 staff with inmate contact. Its facility information describes male and female adults, an age range from 18 to 71, and low, medium, and high custody levels. No official GED, vocational, substance-abuse, religious-services, tablet, or reentry program details were located in the Jackson County jail pages inspected, so those topics should be confirmed directly with the jail rather than assumed.

The sheriff's PREA page is the public source for the zero-tolerance statement, reporting number, annual population summaries, and audit links.

The PREA source is also where the jail publishes adult population summaries for recent reporting years.

Jackson County Jail Directions

Jackson County Jail is on U.S. 75 in Holton at the sheriff's office and jail address. Drivers should route to 210 U.S. 75 Highway, Holton, KS 66436. The official research did not identify public transit routes, visitor parking fees, or a public visitor-entry diagram. Because visitation is video based through City Tele-Coin, many visitors will not need to reach the building unless they are using a lobby kiosk, appearing for official jail business, or attending an on-site visit station if one is available.

For court business after a jail arrest, Jackson County District Court is separate from the jail and is listed by the Kansas Judicial Branch at the courthouse in Holton. Filed charges and court dates are searched through Kansas Case Search or requested through the court records process, while current custody stays with the sheriff's roster and jail staff. For broader county inmate population context, the Jackson County inmate population page separates county jail custody from state, federal, and immigration systems.

Note: Confirm entry, kiosk, and visit details with Jackson County Jail before traveling to the building.
