The Marion County KS Jail is a detention center located at 203 S 4th St Marion, KS which is operated locally by the Marion County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Marion County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Marion Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Kansas here.

Mail: Persons in the Marion County Jail can receive mail during the time they are incarcerated. All mail except attorney mail will be inspected prior to delivery. No delivery is made on weekends or holidays. All mail (with the exception of “legal mail”) is opened and inspected for contraband and security breaches according to federal guidelines. Mail pertaining to legal matters is opened in the presence of the inmate to whom it is addressed.

Any threats or illegal contraband received via the mail will be forwarded to the appropriate authorities for investigation and legal action.

All mail must have a complete return address and be addressed with the inmate’s full name and the address of the Marion County Jail:

INMATE’S NAME
C/O MARION COUNTY JAIL

MARION, KS 66861

Mail received at the Jail which does not display the correct information may be placed in the inmate’s property or be returned to the sender.

Mail received for inmates who are no longer at the Marion County Jail is returned to the sender.

As a general rule, inmates are allowed to receive letters, cards, postcards and 35mm type of photographs.

The Marion County Jail reserves the right to return to the sender any letter, picture, article, or package (with the exception of “legal mail”) which the Jail guidelines deem inappropriate for introduction into the facility. Items mailed to the inmates which are declared unacceptable will be placed in the inmate’s property or returned to the sender as they are received.

Commissary Information:

Persons in the Marion County Jail can purchase food, personal hygiene and other items weekly, including holidays, from the jail’s commissary. Money is deposited to an inmate’s account and, in turn, inmates may purchase commissary items by drawing on the funds in their account. Inmates on restriction status may purchase only personal hygiene items. The purchase of commissary items by incarcerated persons is a privilege and not a right. Access to the commissary may be withheld for just cause.

Persons may make deposits to an inmate’s commissary account in two different ways:

  1. In person with cash only: Cash deposits are at the Sheriff’s Office inside the front entrance of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office at 202 South 4th Street, Marion, Kansas. Deposits can be made from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding County holidays.
  2. Via the U.S. Mail with money orders: Deposits are to be made to commissary accounts via the U.S. Mail but only Postal Prepaid Money Orders, other accredited prepaid money orders and U.S. government checks are accepted. Cash, personal or payroll checks and credit card numbers are not accepted. All money orders received for deposit on inmate accounts must be made payable to Marion County Inmate Account. The inmate’s name must be on the money order and be the one that the inmate used when they were processed into the jail. Money orders without the necessary information will be returned to the sender. Please use this address format when sending money orders to the jail:

Inmates will be given a visitation date upon their incarceration. Please call the jail prior to visiting for schedule.

Inmates will be brought to the visitation from the jail only one time on visitation day for a total of twenty-five minutes. Only two visitors will be allowed at one time. Any additional persons must wait in the waiting area if room permits. All others must remain outside the office. All visitors must be on the inmates approved visitor list. All persons under the age of eighteen must be accompanied by their legal guardian. All visitors must be properly dressed. No revealing clothing. Any Sheriff’s Office personnel can, at their discretion, refuse visitation if someone is not dressed appropriately.

IMPORTANT: The Sheriff, the Corrections Officer or their designated representative, may cancel any visit or delete from an inmate’s visitors list, any visitor who violates a jail rule or any person who, in their opinion, poses a threat to the Jail security or to another inmate, visitor or staff member.
