VISITATION
The Wabaunsee County Jail has set on-site visitation; it will be limited to Saturdays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. One 15-minute visit per inmate.
The Wabaunsee County Detention Center visitation is ADA-compliant. These visits will be recorded and may be monitored during the visit.
Visitation privileges are subject to time allowances or other security factors and may be canceled at any time with or without notice if deemed necessary by Administration or the Detention Supervisor.
Visitation at the Wabaunsee County Detention Center is allowed for family members only ages 18 and above, or by exception of the Sheriff.
Visitors must be appropriately dressed. Persons inappropriately dressed will not be allowed to visit. If an inmate or visitor displays inappropriate behavior or becomes a threat to the safety of the facility, the visit will be terminated immediately, and they may lose their privilege to future visitation.
PHONE CALLS
Inmates are given one initial phone call that is free. This is to attempt to bond or notify someone that they are in custody. Phone calls after this are either a collect call to the party or on a phone card that the inmate can purchase through the jail.
BONDS
We accept bonds 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. We only accept cash and or surety bonds. We do not handle property bonds. A surety bond is done through a bondsman, and you should contact them first, prior to coming to the jail.
Cash bonds are the full amount of the bond as set by the court. Bonding Companies/Agent is by approval of the Court. Copy of bondsman that are approved through Wabaunsee County Courts can be obtained through the courts or a copy is kept on file in the jail.
All correspondence to inmates should be addressed in the inmate’s name to the address below. Please be advised that all correspondence will be opened and inspected prior to being given to the inmate. Legal mail will be handled within the common practices of the industry.
