Jackson County Jail Roster
The Jackson County Detention Center is the official local custody source for county jail records. The detention center publishes an inmate-list page that embeds the Public Safety Cloud/JailTracker roster. That roster is the correct starting point for local jail custody, including many pretrial detainees, sentenced county inmates, and people held on local charges or warrants. It is not a complete statewide prison list, sex-offender registry, or federal custody system.
The local jail is at 1893 McCammon Ridge Road, McKee, KY 40447, phone 606-287-4551, fax 606-287-2152. The detention center site identifies Brian Gabbard as jailer. The county jail contact page is also important when a roster record is unclear, when bond or release timing needs confirmation, or when a visitor needs to verify appointment rules before travel.

Use the contact details with the roster because custody status can change faster than a public page or search result refreshes.
Use the Jackson County Inmate Roster
The jail roster path starts from the detention center's official inmate-list page at Jackson County Detention Center current inmate list. That page embeds the official vendor-hosted roster at Jackson County JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud. If the embedded tool fails to load, use the direct roster URL or call the jail.
- Open the detention center inmate-list page or the embedded JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud roster.
- Search by last name or first name when a name search field is available.
- Review the result for arrest date, arresting agency, charge description, bond, court date, and release status fields.
- Use the case number, control number, warrant number, or court date to match the custody record to court information when needed.
- Call the detention center if the roster appears stale, the person was just arrested, or bond and release details need confirmation.

The jail page confirms the local route into the roster, which matters because the roster itself is hosted through a vendor platform.
Jackson County Roster Search Fields
The research found only partial visible field information from the official roster application assets, so fields should be described with care. The system supports a name-search path, and the result or detail fields can include arrest, agency, charge, bond, court, case, warrant, count, status, and release data. Mugshot, booking number, physical descriptors, and housing location were not verified in text tools and should not be promised.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | text/search | optional or unspecified | Name-search field found in official roster app assets. |

Jackson County Inmate Profile Fields
A Jackson County inmate profile should be read as a custody snapshot. It may contain charge and court clues, but those fields are not a substitute for the Circuit Court Clerk's case record. A charge description in the jail roster is an accusation or hold field. A conviction, dismissal, amended charge, or sentence must be confirmed through court records.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name search | The name route used to locate a roster entry. |
| Arrest date | The date associated with the custody event in the roster. |
| Arresting agency or agency name | The agency connected to the arrest, hold, or charge record. |
| Charge description | The listed accusation, offense, hold, or charge language. |
| Bond type and amount | Public bond information when entered after review. |
| Court date | The next listed hearing or custody-related court event. |
| Case number | The court case identifier when the roster links the inmate to a case. |
| Control number | An internal or system identifier visible in roster assets. |
| Warrant number | A warrant-related identifier when the custody record includes it. |
| Counts and charge status | The number of counts and a status clue for the charge entry. |
| Final release date/time | The release field when a public release entry is available. |
Jackson County Detention Center
Only one Jackson County jail facility was identified in the official sources reviewed. No official capacity, pod classification detail, accreditation status, or program list was found. The detention center page is still the central contact point for custody questions, bond-process questions, in-person money delivery, attorney-visit procedures, and visitation appointment confirmation.

Visitation by appointment on the posted schedule.
The detention center site identifies the jailer on a separate official page.
The jailer page supports the local facility identity, while custody and visit rules still come from the inmate-list and inmate-services pages.
Jackson County Booking Process
Official Jackson County sources did not publish a detailed booking workflow. The supported summary is narrow: after arrest, the person is transported to the detention center or another holding location, intake and booking information is collected, charges and arresting agency are recorded, and bond or court information may be entered after judicial review. If the record is public, the person's roster entry may appear in the jail system.
Felony probable-cause proceedings and many misdemeanor, violation, and traffic matters route through District Court at the early stage. Felony cases later move to Circuit Court if indicted or transferred. That is why an inmate search often leads to a charge search. Jail custody fields can show arrest and bond data, while the court record explains whether a charge remains pending, was amended, was dismissed, or reached a conviction.
Note: A new arrest may not appear online at the same moment booking, bond review, or release occurs.
State and Federal Inmate Searches
If a person is not on the Jackson County jail roster, the next source depends on the custody type. Kentucky Offender Online Lookup is the state DOC public lookup for state offenders and sentenced state-prison custody. KOOL search fields include name fields, aliases, photos-only filtering, offender type, location, and sort order. Result columns can include offender name, current location, PID or DOC number, and offense counts.
Kentucky VINELink is for custody-status notifications rather than ordinary roster browsing. Kentucky DOC says VINE alerts may cover release, transfer, escape, or upcoming parole hearing, and users can register by phone or email. Kentucky VINE phone is 1-800-511-1670. The Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry is separate from jail custody. Federal prisoners are searched through the federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, not the local jail roster.
No official Jackson County Sheriff standalone mobile app was found. Kentucky State Police has an official app for anonymous tips, and Kentucky DOC/VINE materials reference VINELink mobile app access where available, but no app-only local inmate lookup was located for Jackson County.
Jackson County Visitation Schedule
The Jackson County Detention Center inmate-services page gives the most detailed county-specific rules in the research. All visits must be scheduled in advance, appointments are required at least one day before visitation, visitors must be on time, and inmates may have two visitors at a time. Inmates may have two visits each week, and the two weekly visits cannot be the same visitor.
| Visitor / Inmate Group | Day | Time | Visit Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women inmates | Friday | 4:30 to 7:50 | 30 minutes | Appointment required. |
| Men inmates | Saturday | 9:00 to 3:20 | 30 minutes | Appointment required. |
| Men inmates | Sunday | 9:00 to 3:20 | 30 minutes | Appointment required. |
| Out-of-state driver's license visitor | Not separately stated | Same visit rules | May allow 60 minutes | Jail page says an out-of-state driver's license may allow a 60-minute visit. |
Improper behavior can lead to loss of visitation privileges, and visitors must be properly dressed. The official page did not publish a detailed dress-code list, minor-child rule, visitor application, background-check rule, holiday schedule, lockdown policy, or local video-visitation vendor. Call 606-287-4551 before travel when any of those details matter.
The official inmate-services source controls the local visit, mail, money, commissary, property, and phone details.
These service rules are local to Jackson County and should be checked before mailing, visiting, or sending money.
Jackson County Mail and Money
The jail has a specific mail split that is easy to miss. Starting January 16, 2023, non-legal mail must be sent to: Inmate Name - Inmate ID, Jackson County Detention Center, P.O. Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Legal mail must be sent to: Inmate Name - Inmate ID, Jackson County Detention Center, 1893 McCammon Ridge Road, McKee, KY 40447. Payments, commissary money orders, and MRT book payments also go to the McKee detention center address.
- Mail must include the inmate name and inmate ID.
- Mail must include a return address.
- Mail must meet scanner-compatible size limits and is subject to inspection.
- Prohibited items include stamps, blank envelopes, stationery, currency, threats, escape or criminal plans, gang signs, obscene material, stickers, homemade cards, non-white paper or envelopes, colored drawings, glitter, raised decoration, paint, white-out, glue, and similar liquids.
- Money may be mailed as a U.S. Postal Money Order or brought in person to the detention center in the inmate's name.
- The jail advises getting a receipt from the receiving deputy.
Commissary days are Monday and Thursday. The official page did not publish online deposit fees, kiosk fees, retail deposit partners, or commissary price lists. The jail provides necessary clothing, and no property may be dropped off without prior approval from the jailer.
Jackson County Inmate Phones
The inmate phone provider listed by the detention center is Combined Public Communications, also called CPC. The official research did not locate call rates, tablet rules, voicemail costs, or video visit prices. Because phone accounts can affect family contact and attorney planning, those price and account questions should be confirmed with CPC or the jail before money is added.
The assigned source image below comes from Combined Public Communications, the phone provider named by the jail.
CPC is relevant only to inmate phone service. It does not replace the jail roster, the detention center, or the court record for custody and charge details.
Attorney and Court Follow-Up
The Jackson County inmate-services page did not publish a separate attorney-visitation schedule. Attorneys should call the jail at 606-287-4551 for attorney-visit procedures and call the Circuit or District clerk for court scheduling. The Circuit Court Clerk's office at the Jackson County Judicial Center handles court case records, and its phone numbers are 606-287-7783 for Circuit Court and 606-287-8651 for District Court.
For people checking custody because of a charge or warrant, the jail record and court record should be reconciled. The roster may show charge description, warrant number, bond, and court date. The court record shows the case number, docket entries, hearings, charges, scheduled events, and final disposition when public. If a warrant may be active, the Jackson County warrant search page explains the official fallback chain.
