Wichita, KS Wichita Work Release Facility View

How to Find an Inmate at Wichita Work Release Facility
To find an inmate, use the official inmate search link provided on this page for the facility’s roster. County inmate rosters typically list a person’s name, booking date, charges, bond or hold information when available, and current custody status. Work-release participants may also appear in county custody records if they are being housed or supervised through the local system. Records do not always appear immediately after arrest or transfer. Booking, identification, medical screening, and data entry can take several hours, so a new record may not be searchable right away. If no result appears, check the spelling, try again later, or contact the facility or Sedgwick County corrections staff for guidance.
