Logan County Inmate Population
Logan County, Kansas is unusual because the current official sheriff association listing does not show jail staff for the county. The Kansas Sheriffs' Association Logan County listing, inspected in the research file, names Sheriff Dustin Little and reports 3 sworn staff, 1 support staff, and 0 jail staff. That does not mean Logan County arrests vanish from public jail records. It means the Logan County inmate population must be read through the agency that is holding the person.
The practical online custody path is the Thomas County Jail roster. That official roster is not branded as Logan County, yet it shows entries with arresting agencies such as Logan County Sheriff's Office and Oakley PD. The clearest way to treat the data is to say that Thomas County Jail is the current public roster source located for Logan County local detainees when they are housed there. A signed housing contract was not found in the research, so the page should not call it one.
The Logan County inmate population can also split after court action. A person booked after an Oakley or Logan County arrest may be released, held on bond, transferred to another county, sentenced to the Kansas Department of Corrections, or moved into federal or immigration custody. Each track has a different search tool.
Logan County Inmate Population Statistics
Current official daily population for Logan County detainees was not published in the local sources reviewed. The best sourced numbers are the sheriff staffing count for Logan County and historical Thomas County jail figures from the Vera Institute county jail dataset. Those Vera figures are historical and should be read as jail-capacity context, not as a live count for today.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Logan County jail staff | 0 | Kansas Sheriffs' Association, inspected June 13, 2026 |
| Logan County sworn staff | 3 | Kansas Sheriffs' Association, inspected June 13, 2026 |
| Logan County support staff | 1 | Kansas Sheriffs' Association, inspected June 13, 2026 |
| Logan County population | 2,762 | U.S. Census QuickFacts, 2020 Census |
| Thomas County Jail rated capacity | 16 | Vera county jail dataset, 2015 |
| Thomas County Jail total jail population | 17 | Vera county jail dataset, 2015 |
| Thomas County annual jail admits | 179.25 | Vera county jail dataset, 2015 |
Logan County Inmate Population Trends
The historical data supports the same practical point as the current sheriff listing. Logan County had small historical jail rows in Vera data through 2012, then the research notes blanks after that period, while the Thomas County jail data continues to show a small local jail with a rated capacity and total population. That fits the current public-record pattern: Logan County has law-enforcement arrests, but the current online custody record may appear in Thomas County.
| Year | Logan County jail pop / capacity | Thomas County jail pop / capacity | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | blank / blank | 17 / 16 | Thomas County above rated capacity by 1 in Vera data. |
| 2014 | blank / blank | 19 / 15.5 | Thomas County population higher than capacity. |
| 2013 | blank / blank | 18 / 15 | Thomas County population higher than capacity. |
| 2012 | 1 / 12 | 13 / 14.25 | Logan County still had a historical row. |
| 2011 | 1 / 26 | 13 / 13.5 | Thomas County near capacity. |
The Thomas County 2015 Vera row also includes demographic and source-of-custody fields. The research flags some subfields as imputed or inconsistent when compared with the total, so the safest use is broad context. It is reasonable to say Vera showed a small jail population and some pretrial custody, local holds, and ICE-related fields in that historical dataset. It is not safe to turn those old fields into a current Logan County demographic profile.
Logan County Jail Capacity
No current official Logan County jail capacity was located because the sheriff association listing reports no jail staff. For the facility that serves current roster users, the last cited Vera figure in the research gives Thomas County Jail a 2015 rated capacity of 16 and a total jail population of 17. Vera also shows Thomas County population above rated capacity in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
No official Logan County jail construction notice, consent decree, federal investigation, or recent jail litigation was found in the local sources reviewed. That matters for the Logan County inmate population because the absence of a current local jail operation shifts the user task away from a Logan County facility page and toward the Thomas County roster, Logan County arresting-agency records, and Logan County District Court records.
Logan County Inmate Records Law
Kansas public-record law controls many access questions for jail rosters, booking records, arrest reports, and court files. Public access does not mean every field must be online. It means the person seeking a record may need to use the correct custodian, ask in writing, and accept that fees, redactions, or exemptions can apply.
Key Kansas statutes:
K.S.A. 45-215 names the Kansas Open Records Act provisions.
K.S.A. 45-218 covers inspection of public records, response timing, denial statements, and fees.
K.S.A. 45-221 lists exceptions, including records tied to criminal investigations and protected personal data.
K.S.A. 19-811 describes sheriff custody of the county jail and prisoners where a county jail exists.
K.S.A. 19-1935 requires KBI investigation of most city or county custody deaths, with listed exceptions.

Past Logan County Inmate Records
The current roster is not a full archive. The research did not find a released-inmate tab or a published retention rule for Thomas County's roster. If a Logan County arrest no longer appears online, start with the agency that made the arrest, then move to the agency that held the person, then to the court file if charges were filed.
For arrest reports or booking context, contact Logan County Sheriff's Office or Oakley Police Department based on the arresting agency. For custody records created by the holding jail, contact Thomas County Jail. For formal case records, use Logan County District Court in the 15th Judicial District. A KORA request should identify the person, date, arresting agency, booking number if known, and whether inspection or copies are requested.
Note: Kansas agencies must act on a KORA request by the end of the third business day, but that is not always the date records are produced.
Logan County Jail vs Prison
County jail, state prison, federal custody, and immigration custody are separate systems. A brand-new Logan County arrest belongs in the local jail and court path. A felony sentence to state prison belongs in the KDOC system. A federal sentence belongs in the BOP locator. Immigration custody or transfer questions use ICE ODLS.
| Custody track | Best search source | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Local jail | Thomas County Jail roster | Current detainees, including Logan County and Oakley arrests when housed there. |
| State prison or supervision | KDOC KASPER | Kansas offenders sentenced to KDOC custody, supervision, or discharge records since 1980. |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | People believed to be in ICE custody, not county booking photos. |
| Notification | Kansas VINELink | Custody notification when available. |

Logan County Booking Outcomes
After booking, the jail roster and the court case begin to diverge. The roster may show an intake charge and a bond value. Logan County District Court and the Logan County Attorney control the formal case path once charges are filed. The 15th Judicial District records page says case information can include case number, case type, parties, attorneys, assigned judge, and hearing dates, while filed documents are requested through the clerk.
The 15th Judicial District records page documents the records request process and fee schedule for court files.
Use the court source for filed charges and hearing data, not for current jail housing. For booking photos, the official roster image slot is the first source for current detainees, while older booking-photo requests are handled as public-record requests under Kansas law.
