Greeley County Jail Overview
Greeley County Jail is operated by the Unified Greeley County Sheriff's Office in Tribune. The official county sheriff page lists Sheriff Jessica McDaniel-Brown and gives the sheriff's office address as 208 Harper, P.O. Box 690, Tribune, KS 67879. The same office number, (620) 376-4233, is the public contact point for sheriff questions and the 24-hour custody-status line identified in the sheriff FAQ.
This is a county-jail setting, not a state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention center. The research file identifies the population as arrestees, pretrial detainees, and people remanded to sheriff custody after arraignment. The Kansas Sheriffs' Association county jail directory lists Greeley County jail capacity as 3 beds, so public instructions should treat it as a small local holding facility rather than a large detention complex with many public-facing housing units.
The official sheriff page says the office serves Greeley County across 783 square miles, including Tribune and Horace, and lists a staff of the sheriff, four full-time deputies, two part-time deputies, and six dispatchers. Official county pages did not publish a jail construction year, housing-unit map, intake desk schedule, classification levels, public parking details, or an accessibility entrance description. Call before traveling if those details matter for a visit, bond payment, or records request.
The official Greeley County sheriff page shows the sheriff contact information used for local jail routing.
That sheriff contact page is important because Greeley County did not publish a separate online jail roster or booking portal during the research pass.
Greeley County Jail Capacity and Population
The strongest sourced local jail population fact is capacity: 3 beds, listed by the Kansas Sheriffs' Association for Greeley County and checked in June 2026. No official county jail dashboard, current population number, average daily population, annual booking count, average length of stay, or demographic breakdown was located in the official online sources reviewed. For a facility this small, one booking, release, remand, or transfer can change the local population picture quickly.
Use the 3-bed capacity as a facility-size marker, not as proof that exactly three people are in custody. The sheriff FAQ points the public to the 24-hour phone line for current custody status, and that remains the official local channel for a live answer. Broader jail data sources can provide state or national context, but they did not provide a page-ready Greeley County jail trend table in the research file.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Greeley County Jail
No official Greeley County online jail roster, inmate search form, booking report, current-inmate list, released-inmate list, or mugshot gallery was located. The county-specific lookup process starts with the sheriff's office by phone. If the person is no longer in local custody, use the next system that matches the custody path: KDOC KASPER for sentenced or supervised Kansas corrections custody, VINELink for custody notifications where available, the BOP Inmate Locator for sentenced federal prisoners, and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
- Call the Unified Greeley County Sheriff's Office at (620) 376-4233. The sheriff FAQ identifies this as a 24-hour number for finding out whether someone is in jail.
- Give the person's full name. If known, also provide date of birth, arrest date, arresting agency, or case number.
- Ask whether the person is currently in Greeley County sheriff custody, whether bond has been set, and whether arraignment has already occurred.
- If the person is not held locally, ask whether they were released, transferred, remanded to another jail, sentenced into KDOC custody, or connected to a federal or immigration hold.
- For a written booking record, custody history, incident report, or booking photograph, send a Kansas Open Records Act request to the sheriff by mail, fax, email, or in person.
When using KASPER, remember that it is not a Greeley County jail roster. KDOC describes KASPER as a statewide supervised-population repository for people and cases associated with programs funded through or operated by KDOC. It is updated each working day, but the disclaimer says it is not a complete criminal-history source and status can change after an update. For a person arrested today in Tribune, the sheriff phone line is the more direct first step.
Greeley County Jail Address and Contact
Use the sheriff's office contact channels for current custody questions, bond confirmation, approved visits, booking records, and local jail mail or money questions. The county did not publish a separate jail records-unit web form, commissary vendor page, or online public-records request portal in the official sources reviewed.

Visiting Someone at Greeley County Jail
The sheriff FAQ gives one local friend-and-family visitation rule: arrestees may have one visit each week from an approved friend or family member during established visiting hours. It also says attorneys, bail bondspersons, and clergy may visit anytime. Official county sources did not publish a day-by-day schedule, dress code, child-visitor rule, visitor ID list, video visitation vendor, tablet system, remote visit pricing, holiday policy, or lockdown schedule.
Because the published rule depends on approval and established visiting hours, call (620) 376-4233 before coming to the jail. Ask whether the person is eligible for a visit that week, whether your name is approved, what identification is required, what time window applies, and whether any court, medical, transport, or security issue has changed access.
| Visitor type | Rule located | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Approved friend or family member | One visit per week during established visiting hours | Greeley County sheriff FAQ |
| Attorney | May visit anytime | Greeley County sheriff FAQ |
| Bail bondsperson | May visit anytime | Greeley County sheriff FAQ |
| Clergy | May visit anytime | Greeley County sheriff FAQ |
| Video or remote visit | Not published in official sources reviewed | Not located |
The official sheriff FAQ is the source for the local custody phone, bail, arraignment, and visitation answers.
The FAQ matters for visitors because it gives the only official visiting rule located for friends and family and separates those visits from attorney, bondsman, and clergy access.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Greeley County Jail
Official county sources did not publish a jail mail format, mail scanning vendor, commissary vendor, deposit website, phone provider, call-rate schedule, tablet vendor, or inmate account fee table. Do not assume that a larger county jail's mailing rules apply in Greeley County. Use the sheriff's office contact channels to confirm the correct name line, whether mail is accepted at P.O. Box 690, whether any items are refused, and whether money can be left for a person in custody.
Bail is different from commissary money. The sheriff FAQ says bail may be posted at the Greeley County Sheriff's Office 24 hours a day. Accepted local bail methods are cash, surety bond, and cashier's check payable to the Greeley County Sheriff's Office and drawn on a Kansas bank. Before traveling, call to confirm the exact amount, payee wording, whether any hold blocks release, and whether the person has been arraigned.
| Service | Published local detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Specific inmate mail format not published in official sources reviewed. Confirm with the sheriff before mailing. |
| Phone or video provider | Not published in official sources reviewed. |
| Commissary deposits | Not published in official sources reviewed. |
| Bail posting hours | 24 hours a day at the Greeley County Sheriff's Office. |
| Cash bond | Accepted. |
| Surety bond | Accepted. |
| Cashier's check bond | Accepted if payable to Greeley County Sheriff's Office and drawn on a Kansas bank. |
Booking and Intake at Greeley County Jail
Greeley County does not publish a detailed booking-process page. The official facts are narrower: arrestees can be in Greeley County sheriff custody, the arraignment location depends on where the person was arrested and the type of charge, and people who remain in custody after arraignment are remanded to the sheriff's custody. A practical small-county intake path can include transport to the sheriff's office or another appropriate holding location, identity checks, property control, fingerprints or photo if required, warrant and hold checks, bond review, court scheduling, arraignment, release, or continued custody.
Because the jail's listed capacity is only 3 beds, avoid assuming that the person will stay in a large local housing unit. If staff says the person is not in local custody, ask whether they were released, moved to another county, sent to court, remanded elsewhere, transferred into KDOC custody after sentencing, or connected to federal or immigration authorities. Written booking records should be requested through the sheriff under KORA, with the person's name, arrest date, case number if known, and a clear description of the record requested.
Court, KDOC, Federal, and ICE Transfer Paths
After a Greeley County jail arrest, the jail record and court record answer different questions. The sheriff can answer local custody and bond questions. The Greeley County District Court handles filed criminal cases in the 25th Judicial District. The district court is at 616 Second Street, P.O. Box 516, Tribune, KS 67879, phone (620) 272-3652, fax (620) 376-2351. The listed judge is Hon. Wade M. Dixon, District Magistrate Judge; the clerk is Tammi Hazel; the deputy clerk is Stacy Woods.
If a Greeley County case results in a state prison sentence or KDOC supervision, the county jail lookup path ends and KASPER becomes the correct statewide locator. KASPER can include supervised-population and inmate search fields such as name, KDOC number, KBI number, conviction county, supervision type, facility, and photo display options. KASPER is useful after sentencing or supervision, not for confirming whether someone is newly booked into the Greeley County Jail.
No BOP prison, ICE detention facility, or U.S. Marshals contract facility was located inside Greeley County. Federal and immigration custody can still affect a local arrest. A person may be arrested locally on a federal matter, transported under U.S. Marshals authority, sentenced to BOP custody, or subject to an immigration detainer or ICE transfer. Use the BOP locator for sentenced federal inmates and ICE ODLS for immigration detention status; neither should be treated as a county mugshot or booking roster.
Note: Confirm custody, bond, visit approval, and mail or money rules with the sheriff before traveling or sending funds.
