Butler County Jail Overview
The Butler County Detention Division identifies the Butler County Adult Detention Facility as the sheriff-operated jail at 701 S. Stone Rd. in El Dorado. It is run by the Butler County Sheriff's Office Detention Division, not by the state prison system. The county page lists Larry Reynolds as detention division administrator and describes the building as the county's modern adult detention facility.
The jail opened in January 2003 and sits one mile east of El Dorado, south of U.S. Highway 54 on Stone Road. Butler County states that the jail has a staffed medical unit, service and assistance programs, security and operations staff, prisoner transport duties, and about 60 full-time detention deputies. It holds Butler County detainees, but it is not limited to local arrests. The county also reports housing people for the U.S. Marshals Service, immigration authorities, cities, and other law enforcement agencies.
The useful point for a Butler County inmate search is that the sheriff's roster is a jail population report. It is not KASPER, and it is not a court case portal. A person listed on the roster may have a new Butler County arrest, a warrant, a probation matter, an outside-county hold, or a federal or immigration-related hold. Formal court charges should be checked through court records after a jail arrest, while sentenced Kansas prison custody moves to KDOC systems.
The official detention page screenshot from Butler County's Detention Division shows the local address, jail phone, capacity, and division leadership in one county source.
That source is the best match for fixed facility facts, while the sheriff's separate detention page is the source for dated roster PDFs and jail-service links.
Butler County Jail Capacity
Butler County publishes a rated capacity for the Adult Detention Facility, but the official sources reviewed did not publish a current aggregate jail population total. The sheriff's June 12, 2026 Jail Population Report was an eight-page roster PDF timestamped 9:05:59 AM, yet the captured text did not state a total count. Use the roster to check whether a named person appears, not to infer full jail demographics.
The jail population mix can include pretrial detainees, people serving local jail sentences, U.S. Marshals prisoners, immigration-related detainees, and other outside-agency prisoners. The public roster shows sex by person and charge or hold descriptions where visible, but it does not publish age, race, housing unit, booking date, booking number, or a demographic summary.
Butler County Inmate Lookup
The official lookup channel for Butler County jail custody is the sheriff's Detention Division roster page. During research, that page listed dated PDF links, including a June 12, 2026 roster. The user opens the newest roster PDF and searches within the PDF. There is no public name-search form, no profile page, no booking-number search, and no live roster dashboard.
- Open the sheriff's detention page and find the "INMATE ROSTER" section.
- Select the newest roster date and let the Jail Population Report PDF load.
- Use the browser or PDF find tool for the person's last name.
- Check the report timestamp and read all rows for the same person before relying on a bond amount.
- Call 316-322-4160 when the arrest is recent, the name is missing, or an outside hold may affect release.
The PDF roster fields captured in research included housed flag, last name, first name, sex, charge or hold description, and bond set amount. It did not show mugshots, dates of birth, case numbers, court dates, housing units, release dates, or separate inmate profile pages. For a broader custody search, use Kansas VINE for county-jail notifications, KASPER after a person is sentenced to KDOC, the BOP inmate locator for sentenced federal custody, and ICE ODLS for immigration custody.
The sheriff's roster source at bucosheriff.org/detention-division shows the dated PDF roster links rather than an interactive Butler County inmate search box.
That format makes date and timestamp checks important, especially when the custody question involves a same-day arrest or a possible transfer.
Butler County Jail Contact
Use the jail phone line for current custody, release, visitation, and immediate facility questions. Use the sheriff records process for records that are not posted in the roster PDF, including booking records, arrest records, incident reports, or booking photographs. The sheriff's office is a separate public contact from the jail building, so route urgent custody questions to the detention facility first.

Butler County Jail Visits
Butler County phone and video visitation use Securus Technologies. The county says on-site video visits occur in the Detention Facility lobby. Visits may be scheduled at the lobby kiosk during regular lobby hours or from home through Securus. Remote visits require an internet-connected PC and webcam. The official page did not publish a local day-by-day public schedule in text, so check Securus and the jail before planning a visit.
| Visit type | Scheduling | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| On-site video | Lobby kiosk or Securus scheduler | Occurs in the Detention Facility lobby. |
| Remote video | Securus online scheduling | Requires an internet-connected computer and webcam. |
| Professional visits | Contact the facility | Verify current attorney or professional-visitor rules with the jail. |
The county's visitation source at bucoks.gov/660 identifies Securus as the phone and video provider.
Securus controls scheduling and account tools, while the jail controls eligibility, local rules, and whether a visit can proceed.
Butler County Jail Money
Commissary, banking, and some email services for Butler County jail inmates are described on the county's Inmate Commissary and Banking page. The county identifies CBM Managed Services, JailATM, Lockdown, and Tech Friends Inc. Mail rules were not fully available in the researched web text, so do not assume a package, postcard, or envelope rule without calling the facility.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Use 701 S. Stone Rd., El Dorado, KS 67042, and confirm current format with the jail before sending. |
| Phone / video | Securus Technologies provides inmate phone and video visitation services. |
| Money deposits | JailATM.com or the detention lobby deposit ATM. Deposit fees may apply. |
| Commissary | CBM Managed Services through JailATM and Lockdown, with a $25.00 per inmate order-period limit. |
| JailATM account tools, mutual acceptance, and email fees. The facility can block unwanted arrangements. |
The commissary source at bucoks.gov/686 gives the Butler County banking and order-processing details.
Use that page for vendor routing, but call the detention facility when a deposit, order, or account block is time-sensitive.
Butler County Jail Intake
Official Butler County sources do not publish a full booking workflow, but the roster and Kansas jail statutes show the practical path. After an arrest, intake normally confirms identity, inventories property, checks warrants and holds, records the listed charge or hold, screens medical risk, and assigns housing. Butler County specifically states that the jail has an on-site staffed medical unit.
Kansas law also matters at intake. K.S.A. 19-1930 addresses when county jail staff must receive prisoners from U.S. or city authority and when medical examination can be required for a person who appears unconscious, seriously ill, seriously injured, or seriously impaired. That explains why some arrests may have a medical-clearance step before jail admission.
Note: A name missing from the newest PDF does not prove release; call 316-322-4160 for recent booking questions.
About Butler County Jail
The Butler County Adult Detention Facility is part of the sheriff's local custody system. K.S.A. 19-811 gives the sheriff charge and custody of the county jail and prisoners in it. Public access then runs through several channels: the roster PDF for current housed names, the jail phone line for current custody, Kansas VINE for county-jail custody notifications, KORA for record requests, and court systems for filed criminal cases.
Booking photos require separate care. The Butler County roster researched did not show mugshots. Kansas Attorney General guidance says mug shots and standard arrest reports are not required to be open in every case, and agencies may apply K.S.A. 45-221 exemptions. A booking-photo request should identify the person, the arrest or booking date if known, and the requested format.
Note: Confirm custody, visiting eligibility, and deposit rules with the jail before traveling or sending money.
