Lookup Linn County Jail Inmates

Linn County Jail Overview

Linn County Jail / Linn County Justice Center is operated by the Linn County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff is James Akes. The jail and Sheriff's Office address is 308 Main St., Suite 103, Mound City, KS 66056, and the main phone number is 913-795-2665. Official county materials place the jail, sheriff services, and public visitation scheduling at the Justice Center. The Kansas Judicial Branch separately lists Linn County District Court in the same Justice Center at Suite 105, so visitors should confirm which suite and service they need before arriving.

The county source below identifies the Sheriff's Office location, public office hours, emergency-service statement, and the video visitation notice for Linn County Jail / Linn County Justice Center.

The Sheriff's Office page is important because Linn County does not publish a separate, detailed jail handbook in the research materials. The page confirms the operator, location, and video-visit scheduling path.

Linn County Jail Population

Published county pages reviewed did not provide a current county-published rated capacity for Linn County Jail / Linn County Justice Center. The best sourced capacity figures come from Vera Institute datasets. Vera's 2019 county data reported a rated capacity of 17 and a total jail population of 43. Vera's jail construction data then reported a 2022 Linn County new-jail project with a $16,000,000 amount and capacity after the project of 96. Those figures should be treated as research dataset values, not as a county facility page statement.

The live roster provides the strongest current local custody snapshot. On June 13, 2026, the direct roster showed 19 current Linn County inmates, total inmate population 59, and an update time of 2026-06-13 17:00:32. The roster does not define the difference between current Linn County inmates and total inmate population, so the labels should be quoted as written instead of converted into an occupancy rate.

Search Linn County Jail Roster

The official county roster has two public paths: the Linn County Current Inmate Roster wrapper and the direct Linn County inmate roster table. The direct roster is a table, not a search form. It shows count lines, an update timestamp, mugshots, inmate number, name, booking date and time, bond amount, race, gender, age, and hold reasons. No last-name field, booking-number field, dropdown, filter, tab, sort button, profile click-through, or login was visible in the direct roster HTML.

The direct roster screenshot below shows the current table format used for Linn County Jail / Linn County Justice Center inmate lookup.

Because there is no official search box, browser find is the practical way to scan a name inside the table. That is a browser feature, not a roster control.

1. Open the county wrapper page or the direct roster table.
2. Read the current-count, total-population, and updated-time lines first.
3. Use browser find to search a last name when the roster is long.
4. Review the inmate number, booking date, bond amount, and hold reasons.
5. Check court records if a case number, warrant number, or charge status must be confirmed.

Linn County Jail Record Fields

A Linn County Jail / Linn County Justice Center roster row is built around custody status, not full case history. It can show a public booking photo and basic booking fields, but it does not show court date, housing unit, arresting agency, release date, date of birth, home address, medical status, attorney information, or a bond type breakdown. The Hold Reasons field is the largest and most important field because it can include charges, warrant charges, case numbers, statute numbers, and plain charge descriptions.

For booking records not visible on the roster, the county records fallback is the Linn County Clerk's Office, which serves as County Freedom of Information Officer and links the official KORA request form.

Kansas law gives agencies until the end of the third business day after receipt to act on a records request, but review, redaction, and fee payment can affect production time.

Linn County Jail Visitation

Visitation is the jail-service topic with a clear official Linn County statement. The Sheriff's Office page says all jail visitations are now done by video and must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Scheduling can be completed online through InmateSales or from a kiosk in the main lobby of the Justice Center. The county page does not publish visit length, remote-visit fees, dress code, visitor ID rules, approval rules, child visitor rules, attorney visit details, holiday changes, or lockdown rules.

Mail, commissary, inmate money deposits, phone calls, tablets, and detailed attorney visit rules were not located in official Linn County jail pages. Do not assume a vendor for those services. Call the jail at 913-795-2665 before mailing items, sending money, or relying on an outside account service.

Linn County Jail Bond

The roster includes a Bond Amount field, and the research observed amounts ranging from zero dollars to larger totals. The field does not explain bond type. It also does not say whether a zero-dollar amount means no bond, sentenced status, a hold, or another reason. The official local bond source is Linn County's Approved Bonding Companies page, which lists bonding company names, agents, phones, addresses, and total bond limits.

The approved bonding-company page is a practical source when the roster lists an amount and the person may be eligible for surety bond.

Bond should be confirmed with the jail or court before payment because warrants, other-agency holds, probation violations, parole violations, and court orders can all affect release.

Linn County Jail Booking

County pages do not publish a detailed Linn County intake guide, so the public record must be read from the roster and Kansas jail statutes. A local arrest may lead to transport to Linn County Jail / Linn County Justice Center, identification, inmate-number assignment, booking photo, demographic entry, booking date and time, charge or warrant review, bond entry if available, and a roster update if the person is included in the public list. Classification and housing assignment are not visible on the public roster.

Kansas law gives useful custody anchors. K.S.A. 19-811 places charge and custody of the county jail and prisoners with the sheriff, personally or through deputies or jailers. K.S.A. 19-1904 requires the sheriff to keep a true and exact calendar of prisoners committed to the county jail. K.S.A. 19-1930 addresses county jail receipt of certain prisoners and medical examination before receipt when a person appears seriously ill, injured, unconscious, or impaired.

Linn County Custody Lookup Distinctions

Linn County Jail / Linn County Justice Center is the correct first search for current county jail custody. It is not the right tool for every custody status. A person sentenced to Kansas prison moves into Kansas Department of Corrections custody and should be searched in KASPER. Kansas VINE and VINELink help with county jail custody notification. Federal sentenced prisoners should be searched through the BOP Inmate Locator. Immigration detainees should be searched through ICE ODLS, but no official ICE detention facility physically in Linn County was located.

The KDOC adult facilities list is useful because it shows no state prison in Linn County.

The Linn County roster may list a hold for another agency, but that does not turn the county jail roster into a state, federal, or immigration locator.

Linn County Jail Record Limits

The county roster is free and public, but it is not a full criminal-history report, court docket, or background check. It does not show every released inmate, every past booking photo, or every court outcome. It also does not document an official Linn County sheriff mobile app. Search results for sheriff apps in other states should not be used for Linn County, Kansas.
