Where to Look
For Clay County jail custody questions, start with the Clay County Sheriff's Office and jail at the Clay County Law Enforcement Center, 539 Lincoln Avenue, Clay Center, KS 67432. The main phone and jail information line is 785-632-5601, and the fax number is 785-632-3278. Sheriff Alan Benninga is listed as sheriff. The research found service hours for some sheriff counter services, but no separate public jail-records counter schedule was published, so call before visiting.
For court cases after an arrest, Clay County District Court is at 712 5th Street, Suite 204, Clay Center, KS 67432, phone 785-632-3443, with hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Clay County Attorney is Brenda Jordan, 712 Fifth St., Suite 202, Clay Center, phone 785-632-3226, with hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
- For a current Clay County jail custody check, use jail inmate records and then contact the sheriff's office if no online roster answers the question.
- For booking photos or mugshot access, review jail roster mugshots and ask the sheriff how Clay County handles KORA requests.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and Kansas Case Search or the district court clerk.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Clay County Jail / Clay County Law Enforcement Center page or the official jail phone line.
- For a sentenced Kansas prisoner, use KASPER through the Kansas Department of Corrections rather than the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System, since those are not Clay County jail rosters.
