Questions about a Clay County release must go to the office that created or maintains the record. The Sheriff handles physical county-jail custody events. The District Court maintains case filings and orders. Court Services addresses its local supervision functions, while the Kansas Department of Corrections handles state custody, parole, postrelease supervision, and discharge records. Use the routes below to avoid sending a jail question to a court clerk or a state-prison question to the county.

This is not a government office. Clay County Released Inmates cannot confirm whether someone is held or released, pull an official record, change a custody status, accept a public-record request for an agency, or connect a caller with jail staff. Contact the responsible public office directly.

Clay County Sheriff and Jail

For the physical time and type of a county-jail departure, contact the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and Clay County Jail / Clay County Law Enforcement Center.

Clay County Sheriff’s Office
539 Lincoln Avenue
Clay Center, KS 67432
Phone: 785-632-5601
Fax: 785-632-3278

No public administrative hours or Sheriff records-fee schedule was found. Call before visiting. The county also offers an online Sheriff contact form, but it is not labeled as a Kansas Open Records Act portal. Ask for the records custodian and accepted request method.

Clay County District Court

Contact the District Court for a case docket, journal entry, bond order, dismissal, sentence, probation order, or other filed document. The court does not maintain the Sheriff’s physical jail-exit log.

Clay County District Court
712 5th Street, Suite 204
Clay Center, KS 67432
Phone: 785-632-3443
Fax: 785-632-2651
Hours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Use the court’s open-record request procedure for a specific court document. The listed card-payment options concern court payments and do not establish a copy fee.

Clay County Court Services

Court Services handles local probation, bond supervision, work release, house arrest, community service, and reports. These are court-supervision functions, not KDOC parole.

Michael “Mac” McGuire, Court Service Officer
Phone: 785-632-3645

The Sheriff confirms when county custody ended. Court Services can address supervision it administers, and the court file provides the controlling order.

Kansas Corrections Records

Use KASPER for the public person search involving KDOC custody or funded supervision. Submit a state corrections record request through KDOC’s online KORA route. The research identified no street address or public office hours for that online records route, so none is supplied here.

KDOC should not be asked to certify a Clay County jail-only release that it did not administer.

Kansas VINE Access

For an automated adult county-jail custody-status check or notification attempt, use Kansas VINELink, the VINELink mobile app, or call 1-866-574-8463. The service is available around the clock, subject to the reporting agency’s data. VINE is not a certified historical release packet. Verify an exact Clay County departure with the Sheriff.

Federal Custody Questions

The Bureau of Prisons locator covers BOP records, not county or state custody. Immigration detention is handled through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. A missing federal result does not prove community release from another system.
