Important Jail Policies and Procedures
All new visitors must pre-register to visit an inmate. This registration must be completed 24 hours prior to the visit. If you have previously visited a person in the Douglas County Correctional Facility, you will not need to register.
Registration can be done in person or over the phone. Those registering over the phone must provide their full name, date of birth and a unique identification number such as driver’s license number or social security number. The lobby officers will confirm this information through a photo I.D. when the visitor arrives. Failing to give the proper information will result in the visit being denied.
Approved visitors may be any age. Children up to 17 years of age must have a parent or guardian present during visitation and are limited to one per parent or guardian. The only exception is if a second child is an infant confined to a car seat/carrier. Inmates are responsible for signing up on the visitation schedule and notifying visitors of date and time of visit. Officers will confirm these names with the inmate’s file to see if there are any No Contact orders. If the name of a juvenile visitor matches the initials on a Juvenile No Contact order, no visit shall take place. Those with No Contact orders will be denied a visit.
Visitation dates and times are subject to change or cancellation without notice if situations arise that compromise the safety and/or security of the facility, staff, inmates and/or visitors.
Visitors will report to the Lobby Officer to confirm the visit and be processed.
All visitors must produce a current and valid government issued identification (ie: state issued ID, driver’s license, passport, military ID, etc).
All visitors will sign the visitor book.
All visitors will successfully pass through a security checkpoint before the visit. If need arises, visitors may be scanned with a handheld detector. If you are unable to clear the security checkpoint, a more thorough search of your person may be requested. The Shift Supervisor may authorize a same-sex frisk if the handheld detector fails to detect the alerting object. This search will be conducted in private. If the visitor still fails to clear security, the Shift Supervisor may deny the visit. At any time, a visitor may choose to refuse the frisk search; refusal will result in being denied visitation by the Shift Supervisor.
Inmate visitation will last no longer than 30 minutes. Tardiness is subtracted from the visitation time.
Hand-carried items will be left in the visitor lockers, except for approved infant or health care items. Cameras, pagers, cellular telephones and other electronics are prohibited and may be confiscated. Visitors are encouraged to leave personal property in their vehicles.
All visitors must behave in a responsible manner.

Sex Offender Search and Lookup
All registered sex offenders are registered on either a national or state sex offender database. The people on these databases have been convicted of a sex or kidnapping crime. The definition of a sex offender is a person convicted of a crime involving sex, including rape, molestation, and production or distribution of child pornography.
You can access this information online for Douglas County by going to this link, but bear in mind that searches sometimes reveal primary last known addresses or, rather the block that they live on. You are also required to accept a disclosure to use the database.
Bail and Bail Bondsman
A bond is a monetary guarantee that a defendant will show up in court when ordered by a judge. The defendant signs his bond which is a written promise that if he does not show up as required he will forfeit the bail amount to the court along with any fees. For all practical purposes there is no difference between a bond and bail. A cosigner or bondsman may also sign and post bond on the defendant’s behalf, giving the court additional assurances that the defendant will make his court appearances.
Kansas accepts the following types on bond.
Cash Bond. The defendant gives the money to the court to get his release. The money is returned at the end of the trial if the defendant completes their court responsibilities.
Personal Recognizance. This is also referred to as own recognizance or a signature bond. This allows the defendant to get out of jail without posting cash or assets as securities
Surety Bond. This involves participation of a professional surety, a bondsman. The bondsman promises the court the defendant will appear or the bondsman will pay the court the amount of the bond.
Cash Deposit. Ten percent of the bond amount is given to the court up front. Most of the money is returned at the end of the case if the defendant takes care of all his court responsibilities.
Property Bond. The deed to a home or real estate is signed over to the court to guarantee the defendant’s participation in their court orders. This is fairly uncommon.
