Meade County Jail Overview
Meade County Jail is tied to the Meade County Sheriff's Office. It is listed on the Kiowa facility map because the official Kiowa County roster showed Meade-Meade as a Location value for multiple Kiowa roster entries during the research snapshot. In those situations, Kiowa's public roster is the starting record, while Meade is the facility to contact for questions that depend on physical custody.
Meade differs from Pratt and Kingman in one important documented way: Meade County's inmate-search page routes users to Kansas VINE for custody status and notifications. Kansas VINE can be used by phone, internet, or mobile app for custody-status searches and notification delivery. It is not a replacement for the Kiowa roster's booking-number, charge, bond, and arresting-agency fields, but it can help when a family member needs status alerts.
Meade County Jail Capacity and Population
The official sources reviewed for this Kiowa build did not locate a Meade County Jail rated capacity, current population dashboard, annual booking total, housing-unit list, or average daily population report. The available Kiowa-specific fact is narrower: the Kiowa roster snapshot inspected on June 13, 2026 showed three visible Kiowa roster entries with Location listed as Meade-Meade. That is a Kiowa booking snapshot, not a full Meade jail census.
Because Kiowa's roster can use out-of-county housing, the current population question must be phrased carefully. A person listed at Meade-Meade may still have a Kiowa booking record and Kiowa court path. Meade or Kansas VINE can help confirm custody status and notifications, but the researched material does not support publishing a current Meade jail population number here.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Meade County Jail
For a Kiowa County booking, first check the official Kiowa County jail roster at kiowacokssheriff.com/jail/jail-roster/. The roster shows the booking number, Location, charge text, bond, arresting agency, date, and limited demographics. If the Location field says Meade-Meade, then use Meade County's inmate-search route at meadeco.org/190/Inmate-Search or Kansas VINE for custody status and notifications.
- Search Kiowa's roster by name or booking number and review the current Location value.
- If the Location value is Meade-Meade, save the Kiowa booking number and listed booking date.
- Use Kansas VINE or contact Meade for physical custody status, notifications, and local facility questions.
- Use Kiowa and Kiowa District Court for Kiowa booking, bond, and court-record context unless a separate Meade case exists.
Kansas VINE is useful for custody alerts, but it should not be treated as a complete criminal-record source. Court filings after a Kiowa arrest are checked through Kansas CaseSearch or the Kiowa District Court. State prison custody after sentencing is searched through KDOC's KASPER, not through the county jail roster.
Meade County Jail Address and Contact
The Meade County directory lists both dispatch and office numbers. Use dispatch for custody-status routing when appropriate and the office number for administrative questions. For a Kiowa booking housed in Meade, call Kiowa first when the issue is bond, Kiowa charges, Kiowa booking records, or whether the person remains under Kiowa authority.
Meade County Jail
223 N Meade Center Street
Meade, KS 67864
Dispatch: 620-873-8765
Office: 620-873-8766
Kansas VINE: 866-574-8463
The researched Meade directory also identified a toll-free number and fax, but the primary custody-routing numbers for this page are dispatch, office, and Kansas VINE. For emergencies, use 911 rather than a roster, VINE search, or email path.
Visiting Someone at Meade County Jail
The Kiowa research did not locate Meade-specific visitation hours, visitor approval steps, video-visit vendor rules, dress code, or attorney-visit instructions. Kiowa's own visitation page has a 48-hour waiting period and a Greensburg lobby-video schedule, but those rules should not be copied onto Meade unless Meade confirms they apply to a Kiowa detainee housed there.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Not located in researched sources | Call Meade |
| Wednesday | Not located in researched sources | Call Meade |
| Friday | Not located in researched sources | Call Meade |
| Saturday | Not located in researched sources | Call Meade |
| Sunday | Not located in researched sources | Call Meade |
Before traveling, ask Meade whether the person is physically present, whether visits are in person or video, what identification is required, and whether any court transport, release order, medical restriction, or hold affects visitation. Ask Kiowa whether the person's booking and bond information has changed since the roster was last viewed.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Meade County Jail
The official Meade sources in the Kiowa research did not provide a mail-format page, commissary vendor, inmate phone provider, remote-video provider, fee schedule, or deposit limits. For a person listed at Meade-Meade on the Kiowa roster, do not send money or mail until the correct facility account route is confirmed. Kiowa's JailATM and JailFunds information belongs to the Kiowa detention center and should not be assumed for Meade without confirmation.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Confirm with Meade before mailing to 223 N Meade Center Street, Meade, KS 67864 |
| Phone / Video | Provider not located in researched Meade sources |
| Money Deposit | Confirm whether Meade, Kiowa, or both offices control the account path |
Ask whether the envelope or account deposit needs the Kiowa booking number, a Meade identifier, or the person's full roster name exactly as posted. If Kansas VINE shows a custody change, confirm the new location before sending anything because mail and commissary deposits may not transfer cleanly across facilities.
Booking and Intake at Meade County Jail
When Meade appears in a Kiowa search, the public evidence points to a housing relationship rather than a new Kiowa replacement record. The Kiowa roster carries the booking detail, and Meade or Kansas VINE helps with custody status. The public Kiowa fields can include booking number, Location, charges, bond, arresting agency, date and time, age, sex, race, and mugshot availability.
If a person is booked by Kiowa County, arrested by Kansas Highway Patrol on a Kiowa matter, or routed to Kiowa District Court, a Meade housing location does not by itself move the criminal case to Meade County. Use court records to determine where charges were filed, and use jail records to determine where the person is currently held.
About Meade County Jail
Meade County Jail is included in the Kiowa detention-facility list because the current Kiowa roster showed Meade-Meade for Kiowa detainees during the research snapshot. The official information gathered for this project identified Meade's address, dispatch number, office number, and VINE routing, but it did not establish local program details, a capacity count, visit hours, mail rules, or commissary fees.
The practical result is a cautious workflow. Use Kiowa's roster to identify the Kiowa booking and Location field. Use Meade and Kansas VINE to confirm custody status and notification options. Use Kiowa District Court or Kansas CaseSearch for court records after charges are filed. Use KDOC KASPER only when the person has moved into Kansas state prison or supervision records.
Note: Confirm Meade custody and Kiowa booking status before traveling, sending mail, funding an account, or relying on a release notification.
