Locate Clark County Jail Restricted Custody Inmates

Clark County Restricted Custody

Kentucky DOC weekly jail reports list a separate Clark JRC line in addition to the secure Clark jail. That state-reported line is the basis for the public-facing name Clark County Jail Restricted Custody Program. JRC means Jail Restricted Custody, a non-secure or restricted-custody jail component. No separate public address was found, so the safest contact assumption is that the program is operated by the Clark County Jailer and reached through the Clark County Detention Center at 30 Wall Street in Winchester.

The program is not a state prison and not a federal facility. It is a local jail component used for eligible people whose custody status allows a less restrictive setting. The state reports describe it as facility security "N," while the main jail is facility security "S." The JRC is part of the Clark jail system, but the custody level and population categories differ from the secure jail.

Clark County JRC Capacity

Kentucky DOC weekly jail reports dated December 5, 2024 and March 26, 2026 list the Clark JRC with 37 beds. The March 26, 2026 report shows 19 JRC inmates, all non-secure male, with 12 Class D inmates and 7 community-custody eligible inmates. That put the JRC at 51% of capacity for the snapshot, unlike the secure jail, which was over its rated bed count on the same date.

The December 5, 2024 report showed a different mix: 8 JRC inmates, all non-secure female, with 5 Class D and 3 community-custody eligible inmates. That change suggests the restricted-custody program can shift by eligible population and reporting period. Do not infer a fixed gender assignment or a permanent public housing unit from a single weekly report.

Clark County JRC Inmates

The JRC population is narrower than the secure jail population. The March 2026 state report points to Class D and community-custody eligible inmates, with non-secure male custody for that date. Class D is a Kentucky felony category that may be housed locally under state and county jail arrangements. Community custody refers to eligible people who can be managed in a less restrictive setting under correctional rules. Restricted custody is not the same as release, and a person in the JRC remains under jail authority.

JRC

Jail Restricted Custody, the state reporting label used for Clark's non-secure component.

Class D inmate

A lower-level Kentucky felony category often visible in county jail and DOC reporting.

Community-custody eligible

A custody classification that can permit less restrictive jail placement when approved.

Non-secure custody

A state reporting status listed separately from the secure jail beds.

Lookup Clark County JRC Custody

No separate Clark JRC public roster was located. Search the Clark County Detention Center current inmate list first, then call the jail if the person does not appear or if the roster does not identify a restricted-custody status. For state-linked inmates, use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, because KOOL may show DOC-tracked people held in a county jail or moving through Kentucky corrections custody. VINELink is useful for notification, not a full record file.

1. Check the Clark County Detention Center Current Inmate List on the official jail site.
2. Call 859-745-0270 and ask whether the person is in secure jail, JRC, or another custody status.
3. Use KOOL if the person is a Class D, DOC-tracked, sentenced, or transferred inmate.
4. Use VINELink for release, transfer, escape, or parole-hearing notification where available.
5. Use the Clark County Circuit or District Clerk for court dates, bond orders, and filed charges.

Clark County JRC Contact

The research did not locate a distinct public address, public lobby, phone number, or webpage for the restricted-custody program. Because the state reports tie Clark JRC to the local jail system, use the Clark County Detention Center contact information unless the county later publishes a separate JRC address. Staff should confirm whether visits, mail, money, and phone services follow main jail rules or different restricted-custody instructions.

Clark County JRC Visits

No separate JRC visitation schedule was located. The main detention-center visitation page exists, and an official search result says counsel should call 859-745-0270 to schedule in-person or Zoom appearances. It also states that belongings brought into the facility are subject to search. Because restricted-custody placement can involve different movement rules, work assignments, or program eligibility, a visit should be confirmed by phone before anyone travels to 30 Wall Street.

Clark County JRC Mail

No separate restricted-custody mail, phone, commissary, or money-deposit policy was found. Use the main detention-center channels unless staff provide different instructions. The official jail navigation includes Inmate Mail, Commissary, and Inmate Phone System pages. Verified snippets state that commissary orders are placed Tuesdays and Thursdays and that talk time can be purchased by phone at 1-855-836-3364. The research did not verify a deposit vendor, deposit fee, public video-visit vendor, or JRC-specific mail format.

Clark County Restricted Classification

Restricted custody is a classification result, not just a building name. During jail intake and later review, staff consider identity, warrants, holds, medical or mental-health concerns, court status, sentence status, security risk, gender housing, and whether a person is eligible for community or non-secure custody. The state report's separate JRC line shows that Clark County reports this population outside the secure jail bed count.

Classification can change. A person may start in secure custody after arrest, move into restricted custody if eligible, return to secure custody after a rule issue, or transfer into Kentucky DOC custody after sentencing. That is why a phone confirmation is useful even when a name appears online. The roster, KOOL, court clerk, and VINE each answer a different part of the custody question.

Clark County JRC Records

Public-records requests for JRC-related records should be specific. State the name, date of birth if known, booking or custody date range, and whether the request is for a booking record, restricted-custody placement, jail photograph, or other jail record. Clark County's open-records form includes fields to inspect records, request copies, and choose electronic or hard-copy delivery. The form says electronic versions are free and hard copies cost 10 cents per page.

Use the correct custodian. The jail is the custody source. The Circuit or District Clerk is the source for court records and bond orders. The arresting police agency may hold incident or arrest reports. For a broader county roster workflow, the Clark County jail inmate records page explains how those channels fit together.

Clark County JRC and DOC

The JRC figures show why KOOL can matter even for a county facility. The March 2026 report counted 12 Class D inmates in the JRC, and the secure jail also reported Class D and controlled-intake inmates. A Clark County resident who no longer appears in the local jail roster may have moved into DOC tracking, transferred to another county jail, or entered a state prison after sentencing. KOOL is the statewide offender lookup for that stage.

About Clark County JRC

The restricted-custody program is one of the most useful local details in Clark County's jail data. Many county jail summaries treat Clark as a single jail line, but Kentucky's weekly reports show both a secure jail and a JRC. That split explains why a Clark inmate search can require more than a simple name lookup. A person may be in secure custody, non-secure custody, a DOC-tracked county status, or no longer in local custody at all.
