Hodgeman County Jail Roster Status
No official Hodgeman County online jail roster, inmate search portal, recent-booking list, or current-inmate page was located in the county, sheriff, court, or statewide source review. That is the central fact for Hodgeman County inmate records. The sheriff remains the jail operator and the first practical contact, but readers should not expect a searchable county profile page with a name field, booking number field, mugshot, bond line, and housing unit.
The Kansas Sheriffs' Association Hodgeman County directory lists Sheriff Jared Walker, the sheriff's office and jail administration phone as (620) 357-8391, the office address at 500 Main Street, 3rd Floor, Jetmore, KS 67854, and the mailing address as PO Box 701. The official Hodgeman County directory also identifies local office contacts, and the Hodgeman County courthouse page gives the court address and hours for cases that follow jail booking. Those details support a small local jail search process, not a large public roster site.
Important: A missing online roster does not mean there is no jail record. It means the Hodgeman County inmate record must be checked by phone, in person, or by KORA request.
How to Check Hodgeman County Inmates
The strongest Hodgeman County jail roster workflow is a fallback chain. Start local, then move outward only when the local jail no longer holds the person or when the needed record is not a custody record. A jail booking record answers custody, booking, arresting agency, release, transfer, and bond-status questions. A court record answers filed charges and court dates. A state prison locator answers sentenced KDOC custody.
- Call the Hodgeman County Sheriff's Office at (620) 357-8391 and ask for jail administration or custody status.
- Provide the person's full legal name, date of birth or age, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- Ask whether the person is in Hodgeman County Jail, released, transferred, or held for another agency.
- If a document is needed, submit a Kansas Open Records Act request for the jail-book entry, booking sheet, bond line, and release status.
- Search Kansas CaseSearch for filed charges once the prosecutor opens a court case.
- Use KASPER, BOP, or ICE only when the custody type points outside the county jail.
Hodgeman County Roster Search Fields
The research did not find an official county roster form, so there are no Hodgeman County online search fields to reproduce. The request fields below are the practical substitutes for a small jail with no public portal. They are based on the sheriff access-channel sweep and the record fields the research identifies for jail-book or booking-sheet requests.
| Field or Detail | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full legal name | Phone or request detail | Strongly recommended | Use exact spelling and aliases if known. |
| Date of birth or age | Phone or request detail | Recommended | Helps separate common names. |
| Arrest or booking date | Phone or request detail | Optional | Useful for past bookings or release records. |
| Arresting agency | Phone or request detail | Optional | May be sheriff, Jetmore-related local law enforcement, or another agency. |
| Record requested | KORA request term | Yes for documents | Ask for jail book, booking sheet, bond line, release status, or booking photo if needed. |
What Hodgeman County Inmate Records May Show
No public Hodgeman County roster profile was located, so the page should not claim that an online profile displays a photo, charges, bond, housing, or release date. A specific jail-book or booking-sheet request can still target common custody fields. Court charges may differ later because the county attorney decides what to file after booking.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person booked or held, often with identifiers used to avoid name confusion. |
| Booking date and time | When the administrative jail intake record was created. |
| Arresting agency | The law-enforcement agency that brought the person to jail or requested the hold. |
| Booked charges | Arrest or booking labels, not necessarily the final charges filed in court. |
| Bond amount or type | Cash, surety, PR, no-bond, or hold status if recorded and public. |
| Release or transfer status | Whether the person remains in jail, was released, moved to another agency, or transferred. |
| Booking photo | Request only if maintained and releasable under Kansas law. |
Request Hodgeman County Booking Records
For a document, use a Kansas Open Records Act request to the Hodgeman County Sheriff's Office. The official county directory lists the sheriff email as hodgemancountysheriff@gmail.com, and the sheriff directory lists the mailing address as PO Box 701, Jetmore, KS 67854. KORA allows agencies to charge actual costs for records work. The Hodgeman research did not locate a county sheriff KORA form, local fee schedule, or guaranteed response time beyond the state law framework.
A narrow request works best. Ask for the jail-book entry, booking sheet, bond line, release date, booking photo if needed, and any public arrest report for a named person and date. Avoid broad photo requests or commercial mugshot requests. For filed charges, use the court clerk or CaseSearch rather than asking the sheriff to interpret court records.

County, KDOC, Federal, and ICE Records
Hodgeman County inmate records are not one database. Pretrial custody and short local holds start with the sheriff. Sentenced KDOC residents are searched through KASPER. Federal sentenced inmates are searched through the BOP inmate locator. Immigration detainees are searched through ICE ODLS. A person can also appear in Kansas CaseSearch without being in jail, because a court case can continue after release.
| Custody or Record Type | Where to Look | What It Does Not Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Hodgeman County Sheriff's Office | Sentenced KDOC prison history |
| Custody notifications | Kansas VINELink | A complete public county roster |
| Filed court charges | Kansas CaseSearch or district court clerk | Jail housing or booking photo |
| State prison and supervision | KASPER | Every local jail booking |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP locator or ICE ODLS | County jail mugshots or local bond |
KASPER Search After Hodgeman County Sentencing
KDOC says KASPER contains offenders sentenced to the custody of the Secretary of Corrections since 1980, including currently incarcerated, post-incarceration supervision, and discharged persons. It is updated daily, excluding weekends. KASPER can show name, KDOC registration number, date of birth, height, weight, hair and eye color, body markings, photo, conviction description, county, case number, anticipated release date, housing location, and movement history.
The KASPER search screen includes fields for photos, last name, first name, middle name, aliases, KDOC number, and an advanced panel with SSN response, KBI number, race, gender, birth date, age range, conviction county, and parole supervision county. It requires reCAPTCHA. KDOC also warns that KASPER is not a complete criminal-history record and should not be used as the sole basis to arrest someone.
The KDOC locating resident FAQ explains how KASPER shows location and status. That source is useful when a Hodgeman County jail booking has become a KDOC prison or supervision record.
The KDOC page supports the state-prison distinction: KASPER is for KDOC residents, not for every new Hodgeman County jail booking.
Booking Process in Hodgeman County
No Hodgeman-specific booking handbook was located. The researched Kansas framework supports a standard local path: arrest, transport to the sheriff or an approved holding facility, identity confirmation, search, property inventory, arrest paperwork, fingerprints, photographs if required, medical or mental-health screening, and a jail-book entry. Medical clearance can happen before acceptance when a person appears seriously ill, injured, unconscious, or impaired.
K.S.A. 19-1930 is important for Hodgeman County jail intake because it says a sheriff or jail keeper is not required to receive certain seriously impaired, ill, injured, or unconscious prisoners until examination by a medical facility or health-care provider. That law helps explain why an arrestee may not appear in a local jail record at the exact time family expects.
Hodgeman County Jail Visitation
No official Hodgeman County jail visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, public lobby hours, attorney-visit procedure, mail policy, commissary vendor, phone provider, or deposit fee table was located in the official sources.

| Visit Type | Schedule | How to Arrange |
|---|---|---|
| Public or family visits | Not located in official sources | Call Hodgeman County Jail at (620) 357-8391 before arrival. |

| Video visits | Not located | No official video vendor was located. |
Hodgeman County Inmate Mail and Money
Mail, phone, commissary, and money rules were not published in the official Hodgeman sources reviewed. That does not mean the jail has no rules. It means the rules must be confirmed with the jail before sending anything. Small jails may reject mail or deposits that do not follow the exact name, booking number, envelope, money order, or delivery format they require at the time.
| Topic | Published Hodgeman Detail | Practical Instruction |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate mailing address | Not located | Call before mailing and ask for the required name and booking format. |
| Commissary | Not located | Do not send funds until the jail confirms accepted methods. |
| Deposits | Not located | Ask whether cash, money order, kiosk, online, or phone deposits are accepted. |
| Phone calls | Not located | Ask the jail for the current provider and rules. |
| Published fee | $35 daily board / out-of-county board | Board is not a public bond amount or deposit fee. |
