ICE Transfers After Jail Release
A person can be released from Bent County Jail without being released to the community if immigration custody follows. In that situation, the county release date means release from local custody, and the next check is ICE's Online Detainee Locator System. No Kiowa County ICE detention contract facility was found in the research; this page covers the detainer or transfer scenario.
How to Search ICE ODLS
Use ICE ODLS. USAGov describes searches by A-number or by name, country of birth, and birth date. If the person left jail on a possible ICE hold, first confirm the local release with Bent County Jail or dispatch, then check ICE. For the criminal case status, use Kiowa County Combined Court.
ICE Records and Contact
ICE Online Detainee Locator System
Locator: locator.ice.gov
Search by: A-number or name/country of birth/birth date
Use for: current ICE custody and certain recent CBP custody
ICE ODLS does not provide a certified Kiowa County jail release record. It answers whether the person is in the immigration custody system covered by the locator.
About the Immigration Edge Path
Use careful language with ICE-related releases. "Released from county custody" may mean transfer to ICE, not return to the community. If no ICE or federal facts exist, the ordinary Kiowa release path remains Bent County Jail, Bent/Kiowa Dispatch, court records, and CDOC only if a prison sentence exists.

ICE ODLS Search Inputs
ICE ODLS should be searched with an A-number when available because it is the most precise input. USAGov also describes name-based searching with country of birth and birth date. Because names can be common and immigration records can be sensitive to spelling, confirm the match with every displayed identifier before treating the result as the right person. ICE ODLS answers an immigration-custody question; it is not a county jail booking search, a court docket, or a state prison release record.
Detainer and Transfer Distinction
Angle K from the research is the controlling distinction: no Kiowa County ICE detention contract was found, but an ICE detainer or transfer remains possible. A person can be released from Bent County Jail and immediately enter ICE custody. In that situation, the county release date is accurate as a local-custody release, but it is not the same as release to the community. The next verification source is ICE ODLS, plus appropriate legal or agency contacts for immigration custody.
What ICE ODLS Does Not Prove
ICE ODLS does not prove the outcome of the Kiowa criminal case, the amount of bond, the court disposition, probation status, CDOC parole status, or BOP federal prison release. It may not provide a full historical archive after custody changes. If ODLS does not return a result, continue checking the local jail, court, CDOC, or BOP source that matches the known facts. A missing ODLS result should not be converted into a claim that no immigration issue exists.
Where to Verify After ICE
If the person is found in ICE custody, the county release question and the immigration custody question should stay separate. Use Bent County Jail or dispatch for the local release time and transfer note where public. Use Kiowa County Combined Court for the criminal case status. Use CDOC if a state-prison sentence exists, and BOP if a federal prison sentence exists. Use ICE ODLS and immigration-specific contacts for custody after the transfer. This separation avoids treating one system's release as a final answer for another system.
Immigration Record Boundaries
ICE ODLS answers a different question than the jail feed or court docket. It can help locate a person in immigration custody, but it does not prove the state criminal disposition, the local jail release reason, probation status, parole status, or BOP release status. If a person left Bent County Jail on an immigration transfer, the county release and the immigration custody event are two different records.
The research did not identify a Kiowa County ICE detention contract facility, so this page should stay tied to detainers and transfers. Use ODLS when facts point there. If ODLS does not return a match, continue with the source that matches the known custody track rather than assuming the local release record is wrong.
Kiowa Release Decision Tree
Use a decision tree instead of assuming one database answers every release question. If the person was recently arrested on a Kiowa County matter, begin with the Bent County inmate-info feed and use the arresting-agency filter for KIOWA COUNTY SO or KCSO when available. Read the booking number, date booked, arrest location, status, release date, charges, and current-custody setting. If the feed is unavailable, inconsistent, or urgent, call Bent County Jail or Bent/Kiowa Dispatch at the jail contact number and document the answer given.
If the question is why the release happened, move to Kiowa County Combined Court. The court can explain bond, recognizance release, dismissal, sentence, probation, jail credit, mittimus to DOC, warrant action, and sealing. If the court record shows probation, use Kiowa County Probation and the court order. If the court or jail record shows DOC, DOC Parole, prison sentence, or transfer to state custody, use CDOC offender search and parole-board resources. If the facts point to federal custody, use BOP only for the federal prison track and remember that U.S. Marshals custody can come before BOP. If the facts point to immigration custody, use ICE ODLS and keep county release separate from community release.
When online sources do not match, request records from the agency that controls the disputed field. Ask Bent County Jail for jail booking and release fields, Kiowa Sheriff for local incident or arrest records, the court for orders and dispositions, CDOC for prison or parole fields, BOP for federal prison records, and ICE for immigration custody routing. Keep every request narrow, factual, and tied to custody verification or correction so the custodian can identify the public record being requested.
Source-Specific Check
Before relying on this page's route, compare it with the source that created the event. For parole hearings, that means CDOC status and the parole-board listing; for court supervision, the court order; for registry duties, the local and state registry authority; and for immigration custody, ODLS plus the jail or court record that indicated transfer.
