This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, pull official booking records, verify charges, or update a jail record. Use the official office listed below for those requests.
Official Seward Contacts
Start with the office that controls the record type. The Seward County Jail and Sheriff's Office handle local custody questions. The County Clerk is the open-records contact for formal KORA requests. Court and prosecutor contacts are separate from jail custody.

The County Attorney handles prosecution questions and publishes Kansas VINE victim-notification information.
For custody notifications, Kansas VINE can be reached by phone at 1-866-574-8463 or through VINELink. For sentenced state prisoners, use the KDOC KASPER locator instead of calling the county jail.
- For someone possibly held in the county jail, use the jail inmate records page and then call the jail at 620-309-2000.
- For booking photos, review the jail roster mugshots page and use KORA if a photo is not posted online.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and contact District Court when needed.
- For the local facility page, use the footer link to Seward County Jail / Seward County Law Enforcement Center.
- For a sentenced Kansas prisoner, search KDOC KASPER through the Kansas Department of Corrections.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator, ICE ODLS, VINELink, or the responsible federal agency.
