Kansas Department of Corrections Prison Inmate and Offenders on Supervised Release Search
The prison that an inmate is assigned to depends on factors such as security classification, remaining time of their sentence, gang affiliation, and location of their residence.
The Kansas State Prison System began in 1860 with the establishment of the Lansing State Penitentiary.
Today the state of Kansas Prison System maintains eight adult correctional facilities, three satellite correctional facilities, one juvenile correctional facility, and twenty parole offices.
With a staff of 3,600 correctional workers and parole offices, as of the end of 2023 they oversee approximately 9,000 inmates, with another 7,000 on parole, supervised release or absconded.
The following will explain the instructions, tricks and hacks you can use to find any inmate in custody with the Kansas Department of Corrections.
The Kansas Department of Corrections provides a limited amount of information you may want to know about any inmate in their system, however they do list every inmate. Inmates in custody have their crimes listed, as well as previous convictions. They also list all inmates who have been discharged.
There are multiple ways to look up an inmate in Kansas.
Once an inmate is eligible for visiting privileges, the inmate is responsible for ensuring that his/her visitors receive the necessary paperwork to register as visitors.
The inmate mails it to those people that he/she wants on their visitation list.
You, the prospective visitor, then completes the form and mails it back to the facility for review and approval.
A criminal background check is completed on all visitors. The visiting rules are sent out with the request form.
Each resident may have a maximum of 20 visitors on his/her list.
No visitors will be allowed into a correctional facility until the application has been approved.
Visitation privileges are determined by the incentive level assigned to each inmate in the following manner. Those inmates assigned to the following incentive levels are provided the following privileges:
- Intake Level: limited to visits from attorneys, clergy and law enforcement.
- Level I: limited to visits from attorneys, clergy, law enforcement, a primary visitor and immediate family members.
- Levels II & III: allowed visits from any approved visitors.

State Inmate
Most states have Department of Corrections websites that allow you to type in a felon's first and last name and pull up inmates in that state.
If you need to find a sentenced inmate serving time in a state other than Kansas, go here. To find an inmate in Kansas, just scroll to the top of the page and click on the Inmate Search button.
Once you locate them click next to the inmate's name or on the link provided and it will show you which prison the inmate is housed in. If the inmate is no longer incarcerated, but is on parole/probation or discharged, it will tell you that as well. In addition, many state prison inmate pages show recent mug shots.
Federal Inmate
The federal prison system has its own inmate locator called the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.
Type in the inmate's name and it will tell you where he or she is incarcerated and their projected release date. It also lists released federal prison inmates and the date they were released.
Federal inmates who are moved from one prison to another will show as "No longer in federal custody" on the system until they reach their next federal prison destination. This movement can take a few days to several months to complete, so keep checking back to find out where the inmate was taken.
ICE Inmates
The ICE Detainee Lookup allows friends, family members and interested parties to locate illegal and/or undocumented immigrants that are in the United States without permission.
Has the Inmate been recently arrested?... Try a County Jail
In many cases, the person you are looking for has either not been convicted or sentenced or has been sentenced and is awaiting transport to a State or Federal Prison and is still incarcerated in a City or County Jail.
To locate that person, go here to first find the State, and then the County where they were originally arrested or have been transported to. From there you can begin your search in our databases that contain the names and information of millions of inmates.
Jailexchange.com has all information on every jail and prison in the United States.
