Mitchell County Jail Overview

Mitchell County Jail is operated by the Mitchell County Sheriff's Office. The official jail homepage identifies Sheriff Tony Perez, Undersheriff Steve Martin, Jail Administrator Lance Bergmann, and the jail address at 1716 N Hersey Ave., PO Box 338, Beloit, KS 67420. The Kansas Sheriffs' Association directory lists Anthony Perez as sheriff and gives the same sheriff's office phone number, 785-738-3523.

The facility is a county jail, not a state prison. It holds in-county detainees, local short-sentence inmates, probation-violation inmates, and people housed only for another county. That last group is important because Mitchell County may provide a bed while a different county controls bond, charges, court dates, and release decisions. The official bonding page tells callers to direct those questions to the county where the person was arrested or is serving time.

The jail homepage is a useful source for the public contact snapshot.

The contact information on that official page is the basis for direct custody confirmation because no public roster is posted.

Mitchell County Jail Capacity

The official jail homepage describes Mitchell County Jail as a 42-bed inmate-capacity facility. No official current count, average daily population, annual booking total, or demographic table was located for the jail. The 42-bed number should therefore be read as rated capacity only, not as the number of people in custody today.

Operational categories are better documented than demographics. Jail pages refer to in-county inmates, out-of-county housing-only inmates, short-term probation-violation inmates, indigent inmates, and inmates with phone or visitation privileges. No official source reviewed gave a male/female, race, age, felony, misdemeanor, or pretrial/sentenced breakdown for Mitchell County Jail.

Look Up Mitchell County Jail Custody

The official FAQ answers the custody-status question by saying that Mitchell County Jail does not publish a list of current inmates and that the public must contact the jail directly. A person looking for a recent arrest should call 785-738-3523 before using statewide or federal systems. If the jail confirms that the person is housing-only for another county, the original county controls case questions.

1. Call Mitchell County Jail at 785-738-3523.
2. Give the full legal name, date of birth or approximate age, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
3. Ask whether the person is in Mitchell County Jail, whether the custody is local or housing-only, and whether bond has been set.
4. If the jail cannot release details by phone, ask whether to submit a KORA request for the booking record, jail log, or booking photo.
5. Search Kansas CaseSearch after charges are filed, and use KDOC KASPER if the person may have moved into state custody.

For county custody records beyond a phone check, the Mitchell County inmate records page explains the records-request path and the state, federal, and ICE fallback locators.

Mitchell County Jail Contact

The jail and sheriff's office share the Law Enforcement Center address used in the official county directory and jail materials. General lobby hours were not published in the research sources, so call before traveling for a records question, visit registration issue, or money drop-off.

Visit Mitchell County Jail

Mitchell County Jail visitation is video-based through InmateSales. Visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, and on-site registration is available only on visitation days. On-site video visits are no cost. Visitors need a state or government photo ID, and visits are recorded and monitored.

Visitors age 17 and under must have a legal guardian, and only two adults or one adult and one minor may share a 25-minute on-site video visit. Short 2-to-5-day probation-violation inmates are not afforded visitation. Prohibited items include phones in the video area, tobacco, food or drinks, cameras, radios, drugs, firearms, weapons, knives, and sharp objects.

Mail and Money at Mitchell County Jail

Mail for an inmate is addressed to the inmate's name, Mitchell County Sheriff Office, PO Box 338, Beloit, KS 67420. Incoming mail must come through USPS. The envelope should include only the inmate name and address plus the sender return address. Nonlegal mail is opened and inspected, while legal mail is inspected in the inmate's presence.

Inmates may make collect calls, buy prepaid calling cards in $5, $10, or $20 increments, or use Chirping devices when privileges and funds allow. The jail requires a minimum $5 positive Tiger balance for incidentals before commissary funds are used. Short-term probation-violation inmates are not eligible to order commissary.

Bond at Mitchell County Jail

The official bonding page gives local bond rules that are more specific than generic Kansas bond summaries. For in-county inmates, the jail says every effort will be made to let an inmate arrange bond if bond has been set. For cash/surety bond, the person posting must pay ten percent of the bond amount in cash only unless other arrangements are made directly with the bonding agent.

The bonding page also explains why a new felony arrest may not have a bond amount right away.

Booking at Mitchell County Jail

Official Mitchell County sources do not publish a full booking workflow, but the jail FAQ and Kansas jail law support a careful intake summary. A person arrested by the sheriff's office, Beloit Police Department, or another agency is usually taken to the Law Enforcement Center unless medical attention is required first. K.S.A. 19-1930 says the sheriff or jail keeper is not required to receive certain prisoners until medical examination occurs when the person appears unconscious, seriously ill, seriously injured, or seriously impaired by alcohol or drugs.

Booking can include identity checks, search, property inventory, medical or mental-health screening, photo and fingerprints when required, account setup, and classification for housing. Prescription medication may be brought to the Law Enforcement Center if it is in the original pharmacy container and can be visually verified. Property release requires an inmate-signed Release of Property form and proper identification from the recipient.

Mitchell County Jail Records

For booking records, incident reports, mugshots, or older jail information not available by phone, the practical route is to ask the jail which office holds the record and then use the Mitchell County KORA process if directed. The local Freedom of Information Officer is Heather Weston, Mitchell County Clerk, at 785-738-3652. Requests must identify the record with enough detail for the county to determine whether the record exists and is in its possession.

Mitchell County's KORA form lists copy, email, fax, administration, and research-time fees. It also requires a K.S.A. 45-230 certification about prohibited use of names and addresses from public records. Kansas law allows exceptions for criminal-investigation records and privacy-sensitive material, so not every requested item will be released in full.
