Where New Century Releases Go
New Century holds adults after intake and classification within the Johnson County Sheriff detention system. It is not a separate correctional jurisdiction from the Olathe booking site. Some detainees leave after bond, recognizance, sentence completion, or another court action. Others can move to the Kansas Department of Corrections, another county, federal authorities, or immigration custody.
The official Booking and Release Report is the best first public record because its Released section provides a release date and time, type, and location. Read all three fields together. A recorded exit confirms the end of that booking’s physical stay at the Sheriff facility. It does not always mean the person entered the community. A transfer ends county physical custody while custody continues elsewhere.
Bond and recognizance usually point toward community release under court-set terms, but the booking row remains the event evidence. A bond figure or court order alone is not a door-out time. Sentence completion may be followed by supervision or another case. If the location or type suggests transfer, identify the receiving system before drawing a conclusion.
Confirm a New Century Release
The public report has an approximate four-hour delay, so a new event may not appear at once. Use a layered check and keep the booking identity tied to each result.
- Open the Booking and Release Report and inspect the Released portion of the Last 24 Hours view.
- Match more than the name when the record supplies a booking number, date, or other useful identifier.
- Read the release time, type, and location as one event.
- For an older event, choose the relevant dated report or use the Sheriff Inmate Search with “Show Previous Booking History.”
- Call New Century when the event is fresh, delayed, or unclear.
- Pair the Sheriff event with the court order when the legal basis matters.
The broader Johnson County released-inmate search and records guide explains how to switch to KASPER for KDOC, the BOP locator for federal prison custody, or ICE’s current-detention locator after a documented handoff. No result in one outside system proves community release.
New Century Records Contact
Call the facility for a time-sensitive physical-status question. Request an archived Sheriff-created record from Central Records. The two functions are related but not interchangeable.
27745 W. 159th Street
New Century, KS 66031
913-715-5900
Central Records accepts requests in person, by email, or by mail. Its phone is 913-715-5460 and its email is SHR-Recordrequests@jocogov.org. The office is in the Sheriff’s Operations Building at 27747 W. 159th Street, New Century, and lists weekday hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays. Ask the records office, rather than the front-line facility, for a copy of an existing booking and release record.
New Century Facility Role
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office operates New Century as its principal adult detention center. The facility opened in 2000. A 2009 addition brought the combined Sheriff detention system’s reported capacity to 1,081 beds. That system figure covers more than this building and should not be presented as New Century’s stand-alone capacity.
Adults may arrive after centralized intake in Olathe and remain as pretrial detainees or sentenced county prisoners. A name can leave the New Century population through community release, a court-authorized exit, sentence completion, or transfer. Central Booking and New Century are parts of one detention bureau, so the same county report records their booking and release events.
New Century Release Fields
Johnson County’s released entry is more useful than a bare roster deletion. It can show identity and demographic fields, CFN, booking number and officer, booking time, arrest agency and time, charges, disposition, bond, warrant data, and a mugshot control when populated. For release verification, three fields carry the most weight.
| Field | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Release date and time | When the Sheriff recorded the exit for that booking. |
| Release type | What administrative event ended the facility stay. |
| Release location | Where the exit was recorded and whether another site may be involved. |
| Disposition and bond | Context for the legal basis, not independent proof of physical exit. |
A displayed row is historical. It does not rule out a later arrest. Likewise, a current roster miss can reflect a transfer, spelling mismatch, delayed data, or no Johnson County booking. Use the event fields instead of treating absence as proof.
Request New Century Records
For a record outside the visible daily window, ask narrowly for the existing booking and release or custody-event record. Give the full name, approximate booking date, and booking number or CFN when known. Request the release date and time, type or authority, location, and receiving agency if the exit may have been a transfer. A focused request helps the custodian locate the right event without being asked to create a new narrative.
The Sheriff lists no printed-report charge for the first five pages and $0.35 per page after that. Staff search, review, and redaction time is charged at the employee’s hourly rate. Payment is due in advance. These published terms do not promise that every record is available or that every request will be completed in three days. Kansas law calls for a response by the end of the third business day when immediate access is unavailable, with a reason for delay and an expected date.
New Century Transfers After Release
A New Century exit deserves a destination check. A person can complete county detention yet remain confined after a handoff to KDOC, another county, the United States Marshals Service, or ICE. The Sheriff report’s release location and type are the public starting points. If those fields identify a receiving authority, switch to that authority’s system.
KASPER covers KDOC-operated or funded programs and can show Inmate, Parole, or Discharged status. The BOP locator covers federal prison records, while federal pretrial custody may instead require the District of Kansas docket and USMS contact. ICE’s locator addresses current ICE detention, not historical releases. A negative result in any one portal does not prove the person entered the community.

The official facility overview confirms the key distinction: leaving New Century ends that facility stay, but a transfer can continue custody in another system.
