Phillips County Jail Roster
The official public route for current Phillips County jail inmate records is the sheriff's inmate roster page, which embeds the live Plutosites roster used for active custody lookup. The Phillips County Sheriff's Office inmate roster and the embedded Phillips County roster table show current inmates without a login. The research did not find a released-inmate archive, a public booking-number search page, or a posted refresh interval, so a missing name should not be treated as proof that the person was never booked.
The roster is built as a table, not a separate profile page for each inmate. A user can scan rows, sort visible columns, or use the table search box to filter by name, date, charge text, or other values shown in the grid. Public rows show arrest and book date fields, which can help separate the time of law-enforcement contact from the time of jail intake. Some rows may list bond as zero or show a no-bond status, but the roster does not explain the full court order or every hold behind that status.
The roster is for Phillips County Jail custody. It is not the Kansas Department of Corrections offender repository, it is not a federal prison locator, and it is not the ICE detainee system. If a Phillips County arrest later leads to a state prison sentence, the lookup route changes from the county roster to KASPER. If the matter is federal or immigration related, the county roster may stop being the controlling record after transfer.
Use the Phillips County Roster
The best first search is a simple last-name filter. The table can also be sorted by the Last column, and the research notes that the visible roster initializes with last names in ascending order. Because the table exposes charge text and dates, a broad search can sometimes locate a person when a spelling, middle initial, or first name is uncertain. Use the charge tooltip and mugshot icon only as roster aids; court filings and release decisions must be confirmed through the court or sheriff.
- Open the sheriff's Inmate Roster page or the embedded Plutosites roster.
- Search by last name first, then try a first name, charge word, or visible date if needed.
- Sort the Last, Arrest Date, or Book Date columns when several rows appear.
- Use the Charges view or tooltip to read the longer charge text tied to the row.
- Check the bond and Bond Type fields, but call the sheriff before trying to post money.
- If the person is missing, use the fallback chain: sheriff phone, Kansas VINE, KASPER, BOP, and ICE.
Current local custody can also be checked by calling the Phillips County Sheriff's Office at (785) 543-6885. The sheriff site lists the office at 301 State Street, Suite G, Phillipsburg, KS 67661, and the county government sheriff page gives weekday office hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Emergency matters use 911, not the roster or a web form.
Phillips County Search Fields
The Phillips County roster does not ask the public to choose a facility or enter a booking number before searching. It uses a DataTables-style keyword search over the values that are visible in the roster grid. That makes the tool simple, but it also means the user is searching the current table, not a full records database. The sheriff wrapper page is still the official source, while the embedded Plutosites page is the table source used by that wrapper.
| Field or Control | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword search | Text | No | Filters visible table values such as name, charge text, dates, bond, and demographic fields. |
| Column sort | Table header | No | Rows can be sorted by visible columns, including last name and date fields. |
| Charges View | Tooltip or link | No | Shows longer charge text with statute references and plain-language charge labels. |
| Mugshot icon | Icon or popover | No | Displays a booking photo when the browser loads the public image popover. |
| Released archive | Not found | n/a | No public released-inmate tab or historical jail roster was located in the official source set. |
The live roster screenshot in the research comes from the official embedded roster table and shows the public grid layout, including age, sex, race, dates, charge, bond, bond type, and mugshot icon columns.
The screenshot is useful because Phillips County inmate records are displayed in one current-custody table rather than in a multi-page inmate profile system.
Phillips County Inmate Record Fields
A Phillips County inmate record on the public roster is a current jail row. It does not show every jail file item, and it does not replace the court case record. The visible fields are enough to identify many current inmates and understand the booking status, but they omit housing unit, projected release date, arresting agency, full warrant source, and a public booking number column. The roster also does not state how long released people remain visible.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Age | Age displayed for the person on the current roster row. |
| Sex and Race | One-letter demographic values shown in the public table. |
| First / MI / Last | Name split into sortable columns, with middle initial or middle name when present. |
| Arrest Date | Date and time tied to the arrest event, shown in month/day/year and time format. |
| Book Date | Date and time tied to jail intake after arrest. |
| Charges | Charge text with Kansas statute references and charge descriptions visible through the roster control. |
| Bond | Numeric amount field. A number alone does not prove the person can be released. |
| Bond Type | Status or type, including examples such as NO BOND or blank compound entries. |
| Mugshot | Booking photo exposed by the roster icon or popover, not as a large inline image by default. |
Booking charges should be read as jail and law-enforcement information. The county attorney decides what charges to file in court, and those filed charges may be amended, reduced, dismissed, or replaced after review. For booking photos tied to current rows, the Phillips County jail mugshots page covers what the roster photo field does and does not prove.
Phillips County Booking Records
Phillips County does not publish a detailed booking manual. The public facts support a narrower description. A local arrest usually moves from law-enforcement contact to transport, intake at Phillips County Jail, identity checks, property handling, a booking photo, charge entry, bond or hold review, and placement in custody until release, transfer, or court order. The roster's separate Arrest Date and Book Date fields show that the county records both events when they are available.
The commissary page adds one local detail about intake: when a person is arrested, funds in the person's possession are deposited into an electronic account maintained by the Sheriff's Office. Inmates cannot keep cash in custody. Funds can be used for phone calls, commissary, bond, and medical or medication co-pays, and the remaining balance is moved to a Debit MasterCard at release. That account fact is not a search field, but it explains why family members may see jail funds, bond, and commissary issues close to booking.
Booking terms: Booking is jail intake after arrest. A hold or detainer means another legal authority may block release even when a bond field appears.
Phillips County Visits and Funds
Phillips County Jail publishes service rules for in-person visits and commissary deposits. The jail visits page lists Tuesday visitation, required check-in and check-out, approval rules for visitors under 18, holiday cancellations, and a no-contact rule. The commissary page lists lobby deposits through the Stellar Teller and online commissary deposits through JailATM. Mail rules, phone vendor pricing, tablet rules, and video visitation details were not located in the official research.
| Service | Published Phillips County Detail | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visit | Tuesday, 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. | 15 to 20 minutes per inmate, with check-in and check-out required. |
| Holiday visit | Visits are canceled on holidays. | Confirm with the sheriff before travel. |
| Juvenile visitor | Must be with a parent or guardian. | Prior sheriff approval is required. |
| Lobby deposit | Stellar Teller at the jail/courthouse lobby. | Cash or credit card accepted; personal checks are not accepted. |
| Online deposit | JailATM, selecting Phillips County Jail, KS. | Private company fee applies; credit-card address must match the account. |
| Weekly limits | Up to $300 added weekly; $50 weekly spending limit. | Inmates cannot buy for or leave funds to other inmates. |
Phillips County Lookup Fallbacks
When a Phillips County inmate search fails, the next step depends on custody type. Kansas VINE and VINELink are useful for county jail custody notifications. The Kansas Attorney General describes Kansas VINE as free, confidential, voluntary, and specific to county jail offenders, not KDOC prison inmates. KASPER, the Kansas Adult Supervised Population Electronic Repository, is for KDOC custody or supervision after sentencing or transfer. It is not a complete criminal-history search and is updated each working day, so status can change between updates.
| Custody Question | Where to Look | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Current Phillips County jail custody | Sheriff roster, sheriff phone, or in-person sheriff contact | Local pretrial, short-sentence, warrant, probation, parole, or accepted holds. |
| County jail notification | Kansas VINELink | Custody notifications for Kansas county jails, not KDOC prisons. |
| Sentenced Kansas prison or supervision | KASPER offender search | KDOC custody, parole, and supervision records after transfer or sentencing. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal Bureau of Prisons custody and some former federal custody records. |
| Immigration detention | ICE detainee locator | ICE search by A-number or biographical data after immigration transfer. |
No official Phillips County sheriff mobile app was located. The sheriff site links its web tools and Facebook, while Kansas VINE has mobile access through VINELink as a statewide notification service. For records beyond the roster, Kansas Open Records Act requests route through the sheriff unless the requested record belongs to a court, KDOC, BOP, ICE, or another agency.
Phillips County Jail Contact
Phillips County Jail is the only local detention facility identified in the research. It is operated by the Phillips County Sheriff's Office and tied to the courthouse/sheriff complex in Phillipsburg. The county page names Sheriff Kyle Pinkerton, and the official county and sheriff pages list the same main phone number for jail and sheriff contact. The research did not locate an official jail capacity, annual booking count, average daily population, or separate public jail records office.
Phillips County Jail
301 State Street, Suite G / 1st Floor Courthouse
Phillipsburg, KS 67661
(785) 543-6885
Office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Visitation: Tuesday, 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
For records access, K.S.A. 45-216 starts from a policy of open public records, K.S.A. 45-218 governs inspection, response, and fees, and K.S.A. 45-221 lists exemptions that can affect law-enforcement records. K.S.A. 19-1904 also requires a sheriff jail calendar with prisoner names, commitment cause, committing authority, and discharge information. Those laws support access, but they do not mean every jail file, security detail, or investigative record must be released without redaction.
