Finding Someone in Custody in Pratt County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Pratt County is held at the county jail, run by the Pratt County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Pratt County Sheriff's Office at prattso.org/jail-roster (page title: Jail Roster | Pratt County Sheriff), phone 620-672-4150, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
