Jessamine County Jail Roster Overview
The official roster path starts at the Jessamine County Detention Center website, then opens the Current Inmate List frame at the detention center roster page. The direct application is the Public Safety Cloud / JailTracker roster for Jessamine County. The older detention center site says hosting is provided by JailTracker, and the app title is Roster.
Jessamine County inmate records on the roster are custody records, not full court histories. The roster can describe the booking view: who is in jail, when the person was booked, what charges or holds are listed, and what bond fields appear. Court charges can change after the first appearance or later prosecutor review, so a roster charge should be checked against Jessamine County court records after a jail arrest when the goal is case status or disposition.
The jail is operated by the elected Jessamine County Jailer. It is not a sheriff-run jail, though sheriff arrests can create jail bookings. Detention-center records use the jail's open-records email, while sheriff-created law-enforcement records use the sheriff's open-records channel.
Search Jessamine County Jail Records
A name search is the practical starting point. The app model includes last-name and first-name fields, search type, offender value, captcha fields, and current-inmate filtering. Because the roster is a Blazor app, fields may render after the application loads rather than appearing in the static page source.
- Open the direct JailTracker roster or reach it through the detention center Current Inmate List.
- Complete the captcha if the roster asks for image or text validation.
- Search by last name first. Add first name if the result list is too broad.
- Use any search type or offender value option only if the roster displays it for the current session.
- Open the offender profile to review charges, bond, holds, facility, status, and booking identifiers.
- Call booking at 859-885-4558 extension 3 if the person was just arrested or does not appear.
The roster is the best online channel for current county custody, but it is not the only channel. In-person questions route to the Jessamine County Detention Center at 229 East Maple Street in Nicholasville during the office hours published on the county page. Open-records requests for jail custody records can be sent to detentioncenteropenrecords@jessamineky.gov.
Jessamine County Roster Search Fields
The roster search inventory from the research is useful because the app may show different controls depending on session, captcha, or agency settings. Treat the table as a field map, then verify the live screen before assuming every control is visible.
| Field label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Use surname to narrow Jessamine County roster results. |
| First Name | Text | Optional or unspecified | Add it when multiple inmates share a last name. |
| Search Type | Option/dropdown | Unspecified | The app model includes SearchType and ShowSearchTypeOptions. |
| Offender Value | Text/value | Unspecified | Likely paired with a search type or roster identifier. |
| Captcha | Image/text validation | Conditional | The model includes captcha image, refresh, and validation fields. |
| Current Inmates Only | Toggle/filter | Optional | The model includes ShowCurrentInmatesOnly and AllowCurrentOffendersOnly. |
Jessamine County Inmate Profile Fields
A public profile can carry the record fields a booking desk, court, bond desk, or family member needs to read carefully. The app model supports offender images, names, booking and jacket identifiers, facility display, original booking date, final release date, charges, holds, cases, bond, arresting agency, status, and VINE linkage. Exact fields still depend on Jessamine settings and the person's custody status.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Offender image | Booking photo support exists, but public display must be verified on the live profile. |
| Booking or jacket number | Identifiers used by the jail if the profile grid exposes them. |
| Original booking date | The intake date and time for the current booking record. |
| Charges | Charge descriptions, arrest codes, court dates, warrant numbers, case numbers, counts, and status if enabled. |
| Bond | Bond type, amount, fine amount, and related bond fields if shown. |
| Holds | Hold type, reason, contact agency, hold date, and possible expiration. |
| Arresting agency | The sheriff, city police, Kentucky State Police, or other agency tied to the booking. |
| VINE linkage | Fields that support custody notifications through VINELink. |
County, State, and Federal Inmates
The county roster covers people held in Jessamine local custody. It does not replace the Kentucky Department of Corrections locator, the federal prison locator, or the immigration detainee locator. A person who was arrested in Jessamine County may pass from county jail to court, then to a state prison or other custody setting after sentencing or transfer.
| Custody | Where to search | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local sentence | Jessamine JailTracker roster | Current county jail and restricted custody records. |
| Sentenced Kentucky offender | KDOC KOOL | State offender location, DOC number, and daily-updated state data. |
| Custody alerts | VINELink | Release, transfer, escape, and parole-hearing notifications where available. |
| Sentenced federal prisoner | BOP locator | Federal sentenced custody, not routine local bookings. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE ODLS | Detainee lookup by A-number or biographical search. |
KDOC notes that KOOL data newer than 120 days may not be finalized. That caveat is important for Jessamine County because the secure jail and RCC can house Class D or controlled-intake inmates even though no adult KDOC prison is physically located in the county.

Jessamine County Booking Process
Official local sources do not publish a full booking manual, but the roster model and contact page show the main process. After arrest by the sheriff, Nicholasville Police, Wilmore Police, Kentucky State Police Post 7, or another agency, the person may be transported to the Jessamine County Detention Center. Booking can create the roster fields for name, identifiers, original booking date, arresting agency, charges, bond, holds, cases, and possibly an offender image.
Classification follows intake. Kentucky jail rules require prisoner-classification procedures and separation of categories such as male and female prisoners and other required groups. A booking charge is not always the final court charge. Bond can change after first appearance, and a hold or detainer can prevent release even when a bond amount appears on the profile.
Jessamine County Inmate Visitation
Visits are scheduled by calling 1-866-281-2316. The official visitation schedule separates general-population male and female blocks. Confirm the person's housing, eligibility, and current visit status before relying on the schedule.
The published schedule is useful for planning, but the facility can still change visits for classification, discipline, medical, or security reasons.
| Population | Published time blocks |
|---|---|
| General population males | 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.; Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 3:00-5:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday 12:30-3:00 p.m. and 6:30-8:00 p.m. |
| General population females | Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12:30-3:00 p.m. and 6:30-8:00 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 3:00-5:30 p.m.; Saturday all four published blocks. |
