Jessamine County Jail Roster
The official Jessamine County Detention Center current-inmate-list link is documented at the detention center roster menu. The research confirmed the official route, but the crawler could not complete live roster field inspection because the detention-center site returned connection and access errors. That means the page should not claim exact live search fields, update cadence, mugshot rules, or every profile label as verified. The safest route is to use the roster when available and confirm key details by phone.
The detention center is at 229 East Maple Street, Nicholasville, KY 40356, and the official phone number is 859-885-4558. The Jessamine County Jailer page says the detention center provides a safe and secure environment for offenders who have been arrested and are awaiting judicial procedures or who have been convicted. It also identifies rehabilitation programs, drug programs, worship services, work details, roadside litter pickup through a state grant, a five-acre garden, and MRT.
The roster is only one layer of inmate research. A person may be booked before the court record has a complete charge history, or a case may update in court before the roster text changes. For that reason, custody status should be checked with the detention center and court status should be checked through KYeCourts, the docket portal, or the Circuit Court Clerk. A roster entry is not proof of conviction.
Use the Jessamine County Inmate Roster
Use the official roster first for current county custody. If the roster is down, incomplete, or does not show the person, call the detention center. If the person has moved from county custody to state custody or supervision, use the Kentucky Online Offender Lookup. If the goal is notification when custody status changes, use VINELink Kentucky. Each channel answers a different question, and none of them replaces the court file for charges, court dates, pleas, or dispositions.
Jessamine County also has several phone channels that can prevent a false negative search. The jail is the custody source. The Sheriff's Office handles general law-enforcement questions at 859-885-4139. The E911 page lists the non-emergency line at 859-887-5447, Nicholasville Police at 859-885-9468, and Wilmore Police at 859-858-8955. Use those agency lines for arresting-agency context, not for final court outcomes.
- Open the official current-inmate-list menu on the Jessamine County Detention Center site.
- Search the roster if the live page is available and record the name, booking date, charge, bond, or case detail shown.
- Call 859-885-4558 if the page fails, a name is missing, or release status is urgent.
- Use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup for state Department of Corrections offender records.
- Use VINELink Kentucky for custody notifications rather than full jail or court records.
Jessamine County Inmate Search Fields
The live official roster field inspection was incomplete, so exact search-box labels are not confirmed. The field table below is a cautious inventory based on what the official route was intended to provide and what county jail roster profiles commonly display in Kentucky. It should be treated as partial until a live Jessamine roster record is manually opened.
| Field or Item | Inspection Status | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current inmate list menu | Official link confirmed | Yes | The crawler confirmed the official roster route, not a full profile. |
| Name search | Not fully inspected | Unknown | Use the roster if available, then phone the jail when exact matches matter. |
| Booking or profile link | Not fully inspected | Unknown | Field-level profile details were not captured from the live page. |
| Phone fallback | Confirmed | No | Detention Center phone: 859-885-4558. |
What Jessamine County Inmate Records May Show
Roster records are custody records, not final court outcomes. A booking charge may later be amended, reduced, dismissed, or resolved in court. For charge status, use KYeCourts, the docket portal, or the Circuit Court Clerk. For custody status, use the detention center, VINELink, or Kentucky Online Offender Lookup when state custody is involved.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | The person listed in current county custody if the live roster displays the record. |
| Booking date or time | When the person was booked into the detention center, if available. |
| Charges | Initial or current listed custody charges, which must be checked against the court case. |
| Bond | Bond amount or hold condition if public and displayed. |
| Court date | Possible hearing date or case link, if shown by the roster or court systems. |
| Arresting agency | Sheriff, Nicholasville Police, Wilmore Police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency if displayed. |
| Release status | Whether the person remains in custody, has been released, or has moved, when the roster shows it. |
Note: The research did not verify live Jessamine inmate-profile fields, so confirm any profile detail with the jail.
Jessamine County Jail Facility
The research identified one official county detention center for the inmate roster and custody questions. The sheriff's phone may help with law-enforcement questions, but the jail phone is the direct channel for current custody, visitation scheduling, mail rules, and roster problems. The E911 page also lists non-emergency and city police numbers for law-enforcement routing.

Jessamine County Booking to Court
An arrest by the Sheriff's Office, Nicholasville Police, Wilmore Police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency may lead to intake at the detention center. The booking side can show custody status and listed charges. The court side moves through District Court for misdemeanors, traffic, violations, arraignments, and felony preliminary matters, then Circuit Court for felony prosecution after indictment or transfer. A person may appear on the jail roster before the court record fully reflects charge changes.
Bond and payment questions should be handled carefully. The Kentucky Court of Justice Jessamine page lists cash, certified check, money order, and credit or debit cards with a fee for some payments, but it also says cards are not accepted for bonds. That means a fine, cost, or ePay option is not the same as bond payment. Call the court clerk or jail before sending anyone to pay.
First appearance, bond review, and later hearing details are court matters. The docket portal can help find a date when County is set to Jessamine and Division is set to District or Circuit, but the portal warns that it is not the official docket. If the case involves a felony, District Court may handle the preliminary stage while Circuit Court later handles the felony case. That shift can make one quick search look incomplete.
| Need | Primary Channel | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Current custody | Detention Center roster or 859-885-4558 | The jail controls current county custody information. |
| Charge status | KYeCourts or Circuit Court Clerk | The court file shows amended, dismissed, pending, or disposed counts. |
| Hearing date | KCOJ docket portal or Circuit Court Clerk | The docket is for schedules, but should be verified with the clerk. |
| State custody | KOOL | The state offender lookup covers Department of Corrections records. |
Jessamine County Visitation Schedule
The official visitation schedule page existed in research, but the crawler could not fetch the full page. The official search snippet captured a scheduling phone line and some Sunday and Monday blocks. Do not rely on third-party schedules that conflict with official jail information. Call 1-866-281-2316 or the detention center at 859-885-4558 before traveling.
| Day | Officially Captured Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | 9:30-11:30 a.m.; 12:30-3:00 p.m.; 3:00-5:30 p.m.; 6:30-8:00 p.m. | Captured from official search snippet; confirm before arrival. |
| Monday | 9:30-11:30 a.m. visible in snippet | Full day was not captured. |
| Tuesday-Saturday | Not captured in official crawler | Call 1-866-281-2316 or 859-885-4558. |
Contact Jessamine County Inmates
The detention center site lists official pages for inmate phone, video messaging, inmate mail, commissary, visitation, contact, and the current inmate list. Some of those pages returned errors to the crawler, so the research does not confirm provider names, pricing, postcard rules, scanned-mail policy, photo rules, book rules, or legal-mail procedures. Families should use the detention center phone before sending money, mail, or paid messages.
The official phone and video messaging snippet says users can send and receive secure messages, share photos, and video visit from home. Because the provider name was not captured from an official page, do not assume Securus, GTL, HomeWAV, JailATM, or any other vendor. Mail should be addressed to the Jessamine County Detention Center with the inmate's name and any booking number if known, after calling to confirm current rules.
Recent research also found a June 2026 detention-center phone-scam warning reported in local news. That item was not used as jail policy, but it supports a practical rule for families: verify payment, video, mail, and release claims with the official jail number before sending funds or sharing personal details. The official research did not confirm commissary provider or fee schedules.
Jessamine County Jail Programs
The Jessamine County Jailer page provides unusually specific local program detail. It says the detention center offers rehabilitative programs intended to help incarcerated offenders return to society. Confirmed examples include drug rehabilitation programs, worship services, a five-acre garden for produce, work details, roadside litter pickup through a state grant, and MRT. These are jail programs, not proof that a person is eligible for release or diversion.
- Drug rehabilitation is identified by the county Jailer page as a detention-center program area.
- Worship services are listed as part of local jail programming.
- Garden and work details include a five-acre garden and work details.
- Roadside litter pickup is described as funded through a state grant program.
- MRT is listed by the Jailer page as part of the detention-center programming.
State Prison and Notification Searches
A Jessamine County inmate record is not always a county jail record. After sentencing, transfer, or supervision placement, the relevant channel may be Kentucky Online Offender Lookup. For notice of custody status changes, VINELink Kentucky is a notification service. For sex-offender registration, the Kentucky State Police registry is a separate state public-safety system. None of these tools is a full court case file, and none should be read as the final court disposition without checking court records.
The Kentucky Online Offender Lookup is most useful after a person leaves the local jail for state prison, parole, probation, or another Department of Corrections status. VINELink is most useful when a victim, family member, or other user wants notification of custody changes. The detention center remains the best source for current Jessamine County custody, and the court clerk remains the best source for the case record behind that custody.
Important: Use official jail and court phone numbers before paying fees or responding to custody calls from unknown numbers.
