Sherman County Current List
The official Sherman County inmate information page is a current list, not a database portal with a name search box. It is free, public, and visible without a login. Sheriff Chad Mann's office runs the page for the Sherman County Bastille / Sherman County Jail, and the roster can include arrests made by the sheriff, Goodland Police Department, Kansas Highway Patrol, and other authorities when the person is housed locally. That local scope matters. A Goodland arrest or highway arrest can still show on the Sherman County jail roster because the Bastille is the county detention site.
The list gives a public snapshot rather than a full booking packet. It does not publish a refresh schedule, release retention rule, jail bed count, or full profile page for each person. If a name is absent, that absence does not prove the person was never booked. The person may have been released, transferred to Kansas Department of Corrections custody, held under a federal or immigration path, listed with a spelling variation, or not yet visible on the public page. For custody that is urgent or unclear, the sheriff/jail phone line is the direct local channel.
The county inmate information page shows the current inmate table with names, dates, charges, arresting agencies, bonds, and mugshot thumbnails.
The screenshot matches the key point for Sherman County inmate records: the official page is a list to scan, not a search portal with filters or pagination.
Use the Sherman County Roster
The fastest way to find a current local detainee is to open the official roster and scan the visible rows. Since there is no last-name search field in the public page text, the process is more like reading a daily custody board than running a query. Names are split across first, middle, and last-name columns, and long entries may wrap. Read the whole row before making a call about custody, because the charge, bond, and arresting agency cells can explain why someone is held.
- Open the official Sherman County inmate information page.
- Scan by last name and first name. Check middle-name wrapping before ruling out a match.
- Use the date arrested to separate a new booking from an older court hold or serving-time entry.
- Read the arresting agency, since Goodland Police and Kansas Highway Patrol entries may still be housed at the county jail.
- Review the charges as booking or arrest text, not final court charges.
- Check the full bond cell, including no-bond or mixed no-bond plus cash/surety language.
- If the name is not listed, call the jail, check Kansas VINE, then use KASPER, BOP, or ICE if that custody path fits.
Bond wording needs careful reading. A row may say no bond, a cash or surety amount, or a mixed entry where one hold blocks release even though another count has a dollar figure. Before money is paid or a bonding company is contacted, confirm the full status with the Sherman County Sheriff's Office. Court action can change bond after the roster row is posted.
Sherman County Roster Fields
Sherman County's current list has display fields rather than search inputs. That distinction should shape every lookup. A person cannot narrow results by booking number, housing unit, date range, or facility on the public page. The visible table is still useful because it places the basic custody facts in one row. It also shows whether a record is tied to the sheriff, Goodland Police, or Kansas Highway Patrol.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Display column | n/a | Roster row field, not a search input. |
| Middle Name | Display column | n/a | May be blank or wrapped across lines. |
| Last Name | Display column | n/a | Main field to scan on the current list. |
| Date Arrested | Display column | n/a | Observed in MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| Charges | Display column | n/a | Plain-language charge text, sometimes with several charges in one cell. |
| Arresting Agency | Display column | n/a | Observed agencies include the sheriff, Goodland Police, and Kansas Highway Patrol. |
| Bond | Display column | n/a | May show no bond, cash/surety, or mixed bond language. |
| Mugshot image | Thumbnail/link | n/a | Many current entries show a booking photo thumbnail. |
Buttons, reset controls, sorting, pagination, export tools, and advanced filters were not visible in the captured page text. The county also did not publish a roster maintenance window or a rule for how long released inmates remain shown.
Sherman County Record Details
A Sherman County jail record on the public list is compact. It confirms core custody facts, but it does not show every field that may exist in a booking file. The public row also should not be read as a final court record. Charges on the roster are booking or arrest descriptions. Prosecutor-filed charges, amendments, dismissals, pleas, and dispositions belong in Sherman County District Court records and Kansas Case Search.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot thumbnail | Booking photo for many listed people, not guaranteed for every entry. |
| Name | First, middle, and last name in separate columns, with possible line wrapping. |
| Date arrested | The public arrest or booking date, with no exact time shown. |
| Charges | Booking charge language, not a final conviction or final prosecutor filing. |
| Arresting agency | The agency tied to the arrest, such as the sheriff, Goodland Police, or KHP. |
| Bond | No-bond, cash/surety amount, or mixed bond status. |
| Fields not shown | Booking number, age, date of birth, housing unit, court date, and release history are not visible. |
Several roster status phrases need plain reading. "Serving time" points to a local jail sentence. "Hold for court" or "failure to appear" can signal a court order or missed hearing. A detainer means another agency has asked the jail to hold or notify before release. A probation violation is an alleged breach of probation terms. These labels are custody clues, not a full case history.
Sherman County Lookup Fallbacks
The Sherman County jail roster covers local jail custody. It is the right place for pretrial detainees, new bookings, people serving local jail time, court holds, probation holds, and another-agency holds when the person is in the Bastille. It is not the master list for sentenced Kansas state prisoners. Once a person is transferred into state correctional custody, the public search path moves to KASPER, the Kansas Department of Corrections locator.
| Custody Path | Where to Look | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail | Sherman County current inmate list | Current list only, with no public search filters. |
| Sentenced Kansas prison | KDOC KASPER | Updated each working day, but not a complete criminal history. |
| Custody notifications | Kansas VINELink | Useful for custody status and notifications, not full jail records. |
| Federal sentence | Federal BOP inmate locator | Covers BOP inmates from 1982 to present, not all pretrial federal holds. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Search by A-number or biographic data for adults in ICE custody. |
No official Sherman County Sheriff or Goodland Police mobile app with an app-only roster was located in the research. Kansas VINE has statewide notification tools, but that is not a Sherman County jail app. If a roster entry says "hold for another agency," federal, state, or immigration channels may be needed, depending on the facts of the hold.
Sherman County Jail Contact
The facility serving local jail custody is the Sherman County Bastille / Sherman County Jail in Goodland. The county uses both names in official material: "Bastille" appears in visitation text, while "Sherman County Jail" appears in the inmate-mail format. The jail page does not publish a rated capacity, housing-unit map, or classification details, so those facts should be confirmed directly if needed.
Sherman County Bastille / Sherman County Jail
813 1/2 Broadway
Goodland, KS 67735
785-890-4835
Free on-site video visitation is posted for Mondays and Thursdays, with a published time conflict that should be confirmed by phone.
For urgent non-emergency dispatch, the county lists Sherman County Dispatch at 785-890-4560. Emergency calls should use 911. Records requests and report-copy requests are routed to the sheriff's office, not the district court, unless the requested item is a filed court case record.
Sherman County Booking Records
Sherman County does not publish a full jail intake narrative. The practical path is arrest by the sheriff, Goodland Police, Kansas Highway Patrol, or another authority, then transport to the Bastille when local custody is required. Intake may lead to a public roster entry if the person remains in custody and the entry has been posted. The row may then show charge text, arresting agency, bond, and the date arrested.
A fuller booking record can contain more than the public list shows. Possible records may include identifying details, exact booking date or time, property notes, arresting agency data, charge descriptions, bond action, release status, or photographs. The sheriff FAQ says most Sheriff's Office records are public under the Kansas Open Records Act, but open criminal investigations, certain personnel records, sealed or expunged court records, and juvenile records may be withheld. Requests can be made in person or by mail to the sheriff's office, Attn: Reports.
The Sherman County Sheriff's Office FAQs and Forms page describes the report-copy fee, KORA exceptions, mail request address, visitation rules, and inmate mail format.
That source is the main local fallback when the roster does not show enough detail for a Sherman County inmate records request.
Sherman County Visitation Rules
Sherman County visitation is video-based. The county inmate information page says free video visitation at the Sheriff's Office is Mondays and Thursdays from 3:00-5:00 p.m. MST, with sign-in before 4:00 p.m. The FAQ page gives a narrower Monday and Thursday window of 3:30-4:30 p.m. MST and also requires sign-in before 4:00 p.m. Because both are official county statements, visitors should call the jail the day of the visit to confirm that visitation will take place.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Cost or Account | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site video | Mon/Thu 3:00-5:00 p.m. MST on inmate page; Mon/Thu 3:30-4:30 p.m. MST on FAQ | Free | Picture ID, valid email, age 18+, sign in before 4:00 p.m., call first. |
| Attorney visit | Regular business hours | n/a | Separate from public video visitation. |
| Remote video | Every day 8:00 a.m.-11:59 p.m. MST | Requires inmatecanteen.com or JailATM account and equipment | Account, email, and proper remote video setup required. |
| Holiday closure | No public visit when the office is closed for a holiday | n/a | Confirm before traveling. |
State law also supplies a general baseline. K.S.A. 19-1919 says prisoners shall be treated with humanity and that parent and friend visits are permitted at reasonable times, but local schedules and security rules still control day-to-day access.
Contact Sherman County Inmates
Mail should use the inmate's name, followed by Sherman County Jail or Sherman County Bastille, 813 1/2 Broadway, Goodland, KS 67735. The county does not transfer outside calls to inmates and does not take messages for inmates by policy. Inmates use a separate phone system to place collect calls or use phone cards bought through commissary. Outside phone cards cannot be brought in and will not work in the jail system.
Email and remote video are handled through the inmatecanteen.com or JailATM link text referenced by the county. Friends and family need an account, a valid email address, and proper equipment for remote visits. Outside clothing, stamps, toiletries, and similar items are generally not accepted because commissary items are available. Prescription medication may be brought only when doctor-prescribed, properly pharmacy-labeled, and sealed or untampered.
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before sending money, planning a visit, or mailing time-sensitive items.
Sherman County KORA Requests
Kansas Open Records Act requests are the fallback when the public inmate list does not provide enough information. K.S.A. 45-216 states the Kansas policy that public records are open unless the law provides otherwise. K.S.A. 45-218 governs inspection requests, responses, refusals, and fees. K.S.A. 45-221 lists exceptions, including criminal investigation and privacy categories that can affect jail records, booking photos, and related reports.
The sheriff FAQ says a report copy costs $2, with pictures costing extra. Requests may be made in person or by mail to Sherman County Sheriff's Office, Attn: Reports, 813 1/2 Broadway, Goodland, KS 67735. The county also publishes an open-records request form, but the research noted that the PDF was image-based and its fields were not machine-readable in command-line inspection. A clear request should identify the person, date, record type, and whether a booking photo or report copy is sought.
