Phillips County Jail Overview
Phillips County Jail is the county jail tied to the sheriff and courthouse complex in Phillipsburg. The Phillips County Sheriff's Office operates the facility and is the public contact for current jail custody, jail visits, inmate accounts, bonding questions, and jail-record questions. Official county and sheriff sources list the sheriff's office at 301 State Street, Suite G, Phillipsburg, KS 67661, while jail money-deposit instructions refer to the Phillips County Jail at 301 State Street, 1st Floor Courthouse.
The jail holds local arrests made in Phillips County, people kept on local court orders, probation or parole holds, and other agency holds accepted into sheriff custody. A Phillipsburg city arrest can still route through the same county jail process because the City of Phillipsburg official law-enforcement page says the city contracts with Phillips County for law-enforcement service. The public sources reviewed did not identify a separate city jail, state prison, Bureau of Prisons facility, or ICE detention center in Phillips County.

Phillips County Jail Roster Lookup
The local lookup route is the Phillips County Sheriff's Office inmate roster page, which embeds the current roster from the Phillips County roster portal. The portal is a public DataTables roster. It shows current rows in a sortable table instead of a full profile page for each person. No login was documented in the research, and the roster can be reached through the sheriff's official site or by direct portal URL.
Use the county jail roster for active Phillips County Jail custody. If the person is not listed, the next steps depend on the case. Call the sheriff at (785) 543-6885 for local jail status, use Kansas VINELink for county-jail custody notifications, check KASPER after a transfer into Kansas Department of Corrections custody, and use federal or immigration locators only when the facts point to those systems.
- Open the sheriff's roster page or the embedded roster portal.
- Use the DataTables search box to filter by last name, first name, charge text, date, or another visible value.
- Sort columns such as Last, Arrest Date, Book Date, Charges, Bond, or Bond Type when that helps narrow the row.
- Use the charge tooltip or link to read full charge text when the visible table shortens it.
- Use the mugshot icon or popover when the browser displays the public booking photo.
- Call the sheriff if the roster is unclear, if release is time-sensitive, or if a hold may block release.
The live roster table screenshot captured for this project shows the public fields used by the jail portal.
The screenshot matches the research finding that Phillips County Jail publishes a current-custody table, not a released-inmate archive or a full booking-history search.
Phillips County Jail Record Fields
A Phillips County Jail roster row is compact but useful. The public table separates the person's name into first, middle initial or middle name, and last name fields. It also gives age, sex, race, arrest date, book date, charge text, bond amount, bond type, and a mugshot icon. The research did not locate a public housing unit, booking number column, court date, projected release date, arresting agency, or released-inmate tab in the visible roster.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Age, Sex, Race | Basic identifying fields visible in the roster row. |
| First / MI / Last | Name fields split into sortable columns. |
| Arrest Date | Date and time of arrest in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM format. |
| Book Date | Date and time of jail booking in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM format. |
| Charges | Charge text, often with Kansas statute references, available through the table tooltip or link. |
| Bond / Bond Type | Bond amount and status text such as NO BOND, when shown. |
| Mugshot | Booking photo available through an icon or popover, not as an inline face image. |
Roster charges are booking or arrest labels, not the final court record. A prosecutor can amend, reduce, dismiss, or replace a charge after review. For filed charges, case status, and court events after a jail arrest, use Kansas CaseSearch or the Phillips County District Court public-access route rather than relying on the jail table alone.
Phillips County Jail Population Data
Official sources reviewed for Phillips County Jail did not publish a rated bed capacity, average daily population, annual bookings, housing-unit count, or average length of stay. The live roster inspected on June 13, 2026 showed 5 current rows. That figure is a point-in-time roster snapshot only. It should not be treated as capacity, average daily population, a trend line, or proof that the jail is full or underused.
| Measure | Documented Result | Use With Care |
|---|---|---|
| Current roster snapshot | 5 rows on June 13, 2026 | Current-custody count only, not ADP. |
| Rated capacity | Not located in official sources | No bed count should be inferred. |
| Average daily population | Not located in official county sources | No multi-year trend was supported. |
| Annual bookings | Not located in official sources | Do not estimate from the roster snapshot. |
Phillips County is small, so a few bookings or releases can visibly change the current roster. Census QuickFacts reported a July 1, 2025 county population estimate of 4,733, but that county population figure is not a jail-population measure. The most accurate local custody answer remains the current roster plus direct confirmation from the sheriff when timing, release, or a transfer matters.
Phillips County Jail Visitation
Phillips County Jail publishes a narrow in-person visitation window. The official jail visits information lists Tuesday visitation from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., with 15 to 20 minutes per inmate. Visitors must check in before the visit and check out afterward. If a visitor fails to do both, the sheriff's rules say the visitor can be barred the following week.
Visitors must behave respectfully toward jail staff. Yelling, screaming, arguing, or other rule violations can lead to denied future visits. Visitors under 18 must be with a parent or guardian and must have prior sheriff approval. No physical contact is allowed, and the official rules state that a no-contact violation causes permanent loss of visitation privileges. Visits are canceled on holidays.
| Visit Type | Day | Time | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-person jail visit | Tuesday | 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | 15-20 minutes per inmate |
| Holiday visits | Holiday | Canceled | Not available |
| Video visitation | Not published | Not published | Call the sheriff |
| Attorney visits | Not published | Not published | Call the sheriff |
Note: Confirm visit approval and the day's jail status with Phillips County Jail before traveling to the courthouse.
Phillips County Jail Commissary
Phillips County Jail inmate money is handled through an electronic account maintained by the sheriff. The official commissary information says money found on a person at arrest is deposited into the inmate account because inmates cannot possess cash in custody. Funds may be used for commissary, phone calls, phone-time credits, bond, and medication or medical-clinic co-pays when those charges apply.
Deposits can be made in person through the lobby Stellar Teller at Phillips County Jail, 301 State Street, 1st Floor Courthouse, using cash or credit card. Online commissary deposits use JailATM; the user creates an account, chooses Commissary, and selects "Phillips County Jail, KS." The sheriff page says personal checks are not accepted. It also states that a private company charges a small fee and that the credit-card address must match the user account.
| Service | Method | Limit or Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby deposit | Stellar Teller at the jail/courthouse | Cash or credit card; no personal checks. |
| Online deposit | JailATM | Select "Phillips County Jail, KS." |
| Weekly account add | Inmate account | Maximum of $300 per week. |
| Weekly spending | Inmate purchases | Limited to $50 per week. |
| Release refund | Debit MasterCard | Remaining balance is transferred at release. |
No official mail policy, scanned-mail rule, tablet program, phone vendor, phone rate, or commissary ordering schedule was located in the reviewed Phillips County sources. Call the sheriff before sending mail or funds if the current rule matters.
Phillips County Jail Bond
The sheriff publishes an authorized bonding-agency list for Phillips County instead of a full local bond policy. The list includes licensed or approved bonding companies and agents allowed to write bail bonds in the jurisdiction. The roster itself has Bond and Bond Type fields, but those fields do not guarantee immediate release. Holds, probation or parole violations, warrants, court orders, no-contact conditions, or another agency detainer can block release even when a money amount appears.
| Bond Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | Money posted toward release under court-set conditions. |
| Surety bond | A licensed bonding agent posts the bond for the defendant. |
| PR or OR bond | Release on promise and conditions without full cash deposit. |
| No bond | Release is not available until the court changes the order or the hold resolves. |
| Detainer or hold | Another court or agency may require notice, transfer, or continued custody. |
Kansas bond law focuses on appearance and public safety. K.S.A. 22-2801 addresses needless detention before appearance, and K.S.A. 22-2802 covers release before trial and appearance-bond conditions. In Phillips County, call the sheriff before trying to post bond through an inmate account, a lobby deposit, or a bonding agent.
Phillips County Jail Records Access
Kansas public-record law is the fallback when the current roster does not answer a jail-record question. K.S.A. 45-216 states the Kansas policy that public records are open unless the law provides otherwise. K.S.A. 45-218 covers inspection, requests, responses, and fees. K.S.A. 45-221 lists exemptions that can matter for law-enforcement and security-sensitive records.
Kansas also has jail-specific statutes. K.S.A. 19-1904 requires a sheriff to keep a jail calendar with prisoner names, commitment cause, committing authority, and discharge information. K.S.A. 19-811 is part of the sheriff-duty framework. These laws do not mean every detail is posted online. Investigatory records, sealed court matters, security information, and some personal information may be withheld or redacted.
No dedicated Phillips County Kansas Open Records Act jail-record form or sheriff fee schedule was located in the research. Use the roster first, then contact the sheriff at (785) 543-6885 and ask how the office wants jail or booking-record requests submitted. For court charges after booking, use Kansas CaseSearch or the Phillips County District Court public-access computer instead of treating the jail roster as the final case file.
Phillips County Jail Custody Limits
Phillips County Jail is not the same system as Kansas state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention. A person sentenced or transferred to KDOC custody should be searched in KASPER, the Kansas Adult Supervised Population Electronic Repository. KASPER is updated each working day, but KDOC warns that it is not a complete criminal-history record and that status can change after the update.
Kansas VINE is also distinct. The Kansas Attorney General describes Kansas VINE as a free, confidential custody-notification service for county jail offenders, not KDOC prison inmates. For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE detainee locator, which USA.gov explains can search by A-number or by biographical data. No Phillips County BOP, ICE, or KDOC facility was located in the research.
Note: Start with the Phillips County Jail roster for local custody, then move to VINE, KASPER, BOP, or ICE only when the facts fit those systems.
Phillips County Jail Location
The jail and sheriff contact point are tied to the Phillips County courthouse address in Phillipsburg. Use 301 State Street, Phillipsburg, KS 67661 for navigation. Official sources did not publish visitor parking, ADA entrance, locker, or public-transit details. The sheriff and courthouse FAQ says firearms are not allowed in the Phillips County Courthouse, cell phones are allowed, respectful court attire is expected, and questions about children or service animals can be directed to the sheriff.
Phillipsburg is a northwest Kansas county seat. Major approaches are U.S. 36 and U.S. 183/State Street. Visitors coming from U.S. 36 should follow city streets toward the courthouse square and State Street area. Visitors using U.S. 183 should follow the State Street approach and watch for courthouse or sheriff signage. Confirm entry and visit rules before arriving because the official sources do not give full arrival logistics.
Note: Phillips County sources did not support parking, transit, ADA-door, mail, phone-vendor, or program claims for this jail.
