Lookup Leslie County Detention Center Inmates

Leslie County Detention Center Overview

Leslie County Detention Center, also branded by its official site as Leslie County KY Jail, is the primary and only local detention facility found in official Leslie County research. It is operated through the Leslie County Jailer office rather than a state prison system. The official jail pages identify Jailer Danny Clark and publish separate contacts for administration, medical, work release, Class D, and commissary matters.

The facility is a county jail with both secure and non-secure custody lines. It holds pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, Class D inmates, controlled intake, parole violators, and work-release or non-secure male and female populations. Kentucky DOC classifies the facility line as secure in weekly jail reporting, while the same reports also break out non-secure male and female counts.

Leslie County Detention Center Population

The June 4, 2026 Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail report listed Leslie County Detention Center with 141 total jail beds and a reported population of 155. That was 110 percent of listed capacity. The report also showed 108 Class D inmates, 8 controlled-intake inmates, 2 parole violators, 1 alternative sentence inmate, and 0 federal inmates on the county line.

Look Up Leslie County Detention Center Inmates

The official jail site links the Inmates menu item to the Leslie County inmate portal. Research found that the portal loads as a Blazor application and did not expose static roster fields or a sample profile in text inspection. Use cautious results: if the app does not load or the name is missing, verify custody with the jail before assuming the person is not held.

1. Open the official Leslie County KY Jail site and choose Inmates, or go directly to the linked portal.
2. Use the search fields visible in the live browser session. The exact field labels were not confirmed in static research.
3. If the person is not shown, call 606-672-3548 or 606-672-1167 and ask whether intake, release, transfer, or spelling may explain the missing result.
4. For state-sentenced custody, controlled intake, or a person moved out of the county jail, use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup.
5. For release notification, use Kentucky VINELink rather than relying on a single roster view.

Federal sentenced custody is searched through the BOP inmate locator. Immigration detention is searched through ICE ODLS. Those systems do not replace the Leslie County jail roster for ordinary county custody.

Leslie County Detention Center Contact

Jail records, custody confirmation, intake questions, and facility-specific requests should start with the detention center rather than the courthouse. The courthouse at 22010 Main Street houses county and court offices, while the jail is a separate facility on KY-118.

The official Leslie County jail About page publishes the jailer, business-hours, medical, work-release, Class D, and commissary contacts used for this facility record.

Those separate public contacts are important because Leslie County Detention Center handles both ordinary jail custody and state-related jail categories.

Visiting Leslie County Detention Center

Official Leslie County jail pages inspected during research did not publish a visitation schedule, visitor identification rule, dress code, child-visitor rule, remote video schedule, kiosk rule, or attorney-visit procedure. Do not rely on an assumed jail visiting schedule from another Kentucky county. Call the jail before traveling, especially when a person has just been booked or has a court date, transfer, medical restriction, or classification change.

Mail, Phone, and Money

The official mail policy gives more detail than the visitation material. Mail is distributed Monday through Friday. Inmates may correspond with people outside the facility unless the correspondence violates state or federal law or a court-ordered injunction. Mail must use a plain envelope with a clear return address and the correct recipient name and address.

Mail rules include no drawings or artwork outside the envelope, one plain holiday or birthday greeting card, no glitter, ribbons, or appliques, no packages including Amazon or Barnes & Noble packages, and a five-photo possession limit. Mail must be written in pencil, blue ink, or black ink. Crayons, magic markers, sharpies, stickers, perfume, lipstick, and whiteout are not accepted.

Booking at Leslie County Detention Center

Leslie County-specific intake steps were not published in detail on the jail site. A person arrested in Leslie County may be transported to the detention center for intake, or may pass through a court or agency process first depending on the warrant, summons, or arrest facts. Typical booking includes identity confirmation, charge and arresting agency entry, search, property inventory, booking photograph, fingerprints when required, medical or mental-health screening, and initial classification.

The jail's mission statement says the facility houses inmates placed there by the courts or held pending due process, and that its goals include public, staff, and inmate safety. Separate medical, work release, and Class D contacts show that after initial booking, some people are routed into distinct custody or program categories instead of ordinary secure housing.

Leslie County Jail Records Requests

If the roster does not show an older booking, a booking photo, or a custody record, use the Kentucky Open Records Act route. KRS 61.870 defines public records and booking or inmate photographs for Kentucky open-records law. KRS 61.872 gives Kentucky residents the right to inspect public records unless an exception applies. KRS 61.878 lists exempt records, so juvenile, medical, victim, active-investigation, sealed, and other protected material may be withheld or redacted.

A strong request identifies the full name, date of arrest or booking if known, arresting agency, record sought, and preferred copy format. Use the jail for detention-center records and the arresting law-enforcement agency for reports that office created. Court charges, case numbers, dispositions, and certified court records should be checked through KYeCourts or the Leslie Circuit Court Clerk.

About Leslie County Detention Center

The official mission statement describes the jail's purpose as protecting the community by securely housing people placed there by courts or held pending due process. It also names safety, training, positive behavior, reintegration, accountability, human rights, dignity, and fiscal responsibility as operating principles. Those local statements are useful because they describe the facility's stated custody role without relying on generic jail language.

Population records show why the facility matters beyond new bookings. Leslie County had 108 Class D inmates in the June 4, 2026 DOC weekly report, along with controlled-intake and parole-violator categories. That makes Leslie County Detention Center part of the statewide county-jail and DOC custody picture, not just a short-term holding site for fresh arrests.
