Detention Center Inmate Custody

Jessamine County Detention Center is operated by the Jessamine County Jailer and the county detention center, not by the sheriff's office. The official county Jailer page names Jailer Jon Sallee and Chief Deputy Dru Parsons, and it describes the jail as the county place for offenders who have been arrested and are awaiting judicial procedures, along with convicted people who may use jail programs. The facility is at 229 East Maple Street in Nicholasville and is the central detention address used by the official detention-center site and county government page.

The secure jail population includes pre-trial county inmates, sentenced county inmates, Class D inmates, controlled-intake state inmates, parole violators, and both male and female secure custody. A separate Jessamine County Restricted Custody Center row appears in the Kentucky Department of Corrections weekly jail data, so the secure jail should not be merged with the RCC when reading population figures. For RCC custody details, use the sibling Jessamine County Restricted Custody Center page.

The official detention-center home page shows the local menu and current inmate list route.

That official menu matters because the current inmate list is the local starting point before using state or federal fallback locators.

Detention Center Jail Population

The KDOC Weekly Jail report dated June 4, 2026 lists Jessamine County Detention Center as a secure jail with 96 rated beds and a reported population of 110. That placed the secure jail 14 people over capacity, or 115 percent of its rated capacity, on that report date. The same row reported 84 secure males, 26 secure females, 4 Class D inmates, 6 controlled-intake inmates, 1 parole violator, and 0 federal inmates. KDOC uses the security code S for the secure jail row.

Look Up Detention Center Inmates

Jessamine County Detention Center inmate lookup starts with the official Current Inmate List, which opens the Public Safety Cloud and JailTracker roster at Jessamine County JailTracker. The app title is Roster. It can require captcha, and its model supports last name, first name, search type, offender value, and a current-inmates-only control. If the person has moved out of county jail custody after a state sentence, use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup. VINE is better for custody alerts than one-time roster search.

1. Open the current inmate roster from the official detention-center site or direct JailTracker URL.
2. Complete captcha if the roster shows it, then search by last name first.
3. Add a first name when the result list is broad or several people share the same surname.
4. Open the offender profile and confirm the facility, booking time, status, charges, holds, and bond fields.
5. Call 859-885-4558 extension 3 when a person is not listed but may still be in booking.

The Jessamine County Jailer page is the county government source for the operator, hours, programs, and detention-center open-records email.

Detention Center Visitation

Visits for Jessamine County Detention Center are scheduled by calling 1-866-281-2316. The official visitation page gives different general-population blocks for males and females. It does not publish a full dress code in the research reviewed, so visitors should confirm current entry rules, ID needs, and housing restrictions before travel. The schedule below reflects the published time blocks.

The screenshot reinforces why the schedule should be checked by custody group before a visit is requested.

Mail, Phone, and Money

Personal mail for Jessamine County Detention Center is digitally delivered through tablets. The official mail page says friends and family send personal mail to the Phoenix, Maryland processing address with the inmate name and booking number. Legal mail and checks or money orders go directly to the Nicholasville jail address. Phone service uses GettingOut by Telmate, identity verification is required, inmates initiate calls, and calls are subject to recording and monitoring. CorrectPay and Tiger Commissary are official vendor channels from the jail menu.

The official phone-system page explains GettingOut and Telmate account setup.

That vendor page is relevant before adding funds because the person in custody must initiate calls from the jail system.

Detention Center Booking

Booking at Jessamine County Detention Center begins after an arrest by a local, state, or other agency and transport to the jail. Intake can produce the JailTracker fields used for public lookup, including name, booking or jacket identifiers if enabled, original booking date and time, facility, charges, holds, bond, cases, arresting agency, status, and VINE linkage. A booking entry is not the same as a conviction. Charges may change after court review, and a person may be released, held on bond, transferred to state custody, or placed in another custody level.

Detention Center Programs

Jessamine County Detention Center has local program material that goes beyond a basic booking jail. Official pages describe drug rehabilitation, worship services, a five-acre garden, work details, roadside litter, community works, and Moral Reconation Therapy. The garden program was started to reduce food costs and provide healthier produce. The program plants and manages about five acres, feeds incarcerated people, and has an estimated annual produce-sale value of $4,000 to $5,000.

Community work details are tied to county and city agencies, including the recycling center, road department, animal shelter, Maple Grove Cemetery, Parks and Recreation, County Construction and Maintenance, and Camp Nelson Heritage Park. The roadside litter program uses state grant support and part-time deputies so crews can work on county roads seven days a week. Treatment programming includes SMART Recovery, peer support, case management, referrals to IOP, MAT, recovery and sober-living resources, basic-needs help, identification help, overdose education, and naloxone distribution. MRT is taught by Captain Matt Fraddosio, the Class D Coordinator, and uses 12 steps over 24 to 36 sessions.
