Clark County Current Inmate List
The official starting point for Clark County inmate records is the Clark County Detention Center website. The detention center site is hosted by JailTracker and its official navigation identifies a Current Inmate List. The roster is tied to the Clark County Detention Center at 30 Wall Street in Winchester, which is operated through the Clark County Jailer rather than the sheriff's office. Jailer Frank Doyle is identified on the official detention-center Jailer page, while Sheriff Berl Perdue Jr. is a separate county law-enforcement official whose office may be the arresting agency in some cases.
The live roster fields could not be inspected from the research environment. Direct requests to the detention-center pages returned empty or unstable content, so Clark County inmate records should be read with a practical fallback plan. Use the Current Inmate List when it loads. If it does not load, call the jail at 859-745-0270. If the arresting agency is known, the Clark County Sheriff's Office, Winchester Police Department, or Kentucky State Police Post 7 may hold the police report or arrest paperwork, while the jail remains the custody source.
Use Clark County Jail Roster
A Clark County jail roster search works best when the search is narrow but not too narrow. Names may be entered differently at booking, and a new arrest may not show online at once. The safe method is to start with the detention-center Current Inmate List, then verify any unclear match with the jail before posting bond, sending funds, or traveling for a visit.
- Open the official detention-center site and choose the Current Inmate List when the JailTracker navigation loads.
- Search by the person's last name first. Add a first name only if the list is too broad.
- Review the profile carefully, but do not assume every Clark field is present because the live profile inventory was not confirmed.
- Call Clark County Detention Center at 859-745-0270 when the roster is down, the person was just arrested, or release status is urgent.
- For bond, court date, or filed charge questions, contact the Clark County District or Circuit Court Clerk rather than relying only on the booking entry.
Clark County Roster Search Fields
The research confirmed that Clark County uses a JailTracker-hosted Current Inmate List, but it did not capture the actual form fields on the Clark public roster. That matters because many JailTracker sites expose name filters or profile links, but those details were not verified on the official Clark page. The table below keeps the Clark County inmate records guidance inside the confirmed record.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmate List | Link / JailTracker roster | Unspecified | The official detention-center site identifies the roster link, but direct field inspection was not captured. |
| Name search | Unknown | Unspecified | Name filtering is common on JailTracker rosters, but Clark's official field labels were not verified. |
| View more / profile link | Unknown | Unspecified | Profile details may be available after selecting a row, but no official Clark sample profile was inspected. |
| Records request | County web form | As marked on form | Use when a jail record is not visible online or a copy is needed from the custodian. |
Clark County Inmate Profile Fields
Clark County inmate records should not be described as if every field is guaranteed online. The official roster profile could not be opened during research, so the strongest statement is that the county has a JailTracker-hosted Current Inmate List and that missing details must be confirmed through the jail, the clerk, or an open-records request. Third-party pages may claim detailed Clark fields, but the project rules require the official record source.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Not verified from the official Clark roster profile. Confirm identity by jail phone when names are similar. |
| Booking number | Not verified online. Ask the jail or records custodian if a booking identifier is needed for a request. |
| Booking date/time | Not verified online. New bookings may lag before they are visible in a public system. |
| Mugshot / booking photo | Not verified from an official Clark profile. Kentucky law addresses booking-photo records and commercial misuse. |
| Charges | Not verified online. Booking charges can differ from charges later filed in court. |
| Bond type/amount | Not verified online. Clark's official bond page directs bond posting through the Circuit Clerk's office. |
| Court date / court type | Not verified online. Use Kentucky Court of Justice dockets and the Clark clerk as the court-source fallback. |
| Release status/date | Not verified online. Call the jail or use VINE for release and transfer notification needs. |
Request Clark County Jail Records
When the jail roster does not answer the question, the county open-records process is the documented fallback. The Clark County open-records form asks for requester contact information and a specific description of records to inspect or copy. The form states that the county does not create documents, so a broad request for every detail about a person is weaker than a request tied to a booking date, name, arresting agency, report number, or record type.
The Clark County open-records form was captured as a successful project image from the county source.
Use electronic copies when possible because the research notes electronic versions are free, while hard copies are listed at 10 cents per page.
A good jail-record request can ask for a booking record, booking photograph, jail custody log excerpt, or other specific public record. For police-created reports, route the request to the agency that made the arrest. Clark County Sheriff's Office records may start with the sheriff at 200 Maryland Avenue, Winchester, phone 859-744-4390. Winchester Police records may use the city open-records process, and the city page notes evidence.com delivery and 10-cent hard copies.
Clark County Custody Systems
Clark County inmate records split into several systems. The county jail roster is for local custody, including recent arrests, pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, and some state or federal categories when the person is physically held at the Clark County Detention Center. State prison records are different. After conviction and sentencing, a Clark County prisoner may move into the Kentucky Department of Corrections system and should be searched through Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, known as KOOL.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Use This When |
|---|---|---|
| County pretrial or short sentence | Clark County Detention Center Current Inmate List or 859-745-0270 | The person was recently arrested or is still in local jail custody. |
| Restricted custody / JRC | Clark County jail phone and local records channels | The person may be in a non-secure Clark JRC placement rather than the main secure jail. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Kentucky Online Offender Lookup | The person has moved into DOC tracking or state-prison custody. |
| Federal prisoner | Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator | The person has entered BOP custody after federal sentencing. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | The case involves immigration detention or transfer outside Clark County. |
Clark County Jail Facilities
Clark County has two state-reported local detention entries. The first is the secure Clark County Detention Center. The second is the Clark County Jail Restricted Custody Program, reported by Kentucky DOC as Clark JRC. The JRC is not documented as a separate public-facing jail with a separate address, so the best record path is the same detention-center phone unless Clark County later publishes a distinct public office.
Clark County Detention Center
30 Wall Street
Winchester, KY 40391
859-745-0270
156 secure jail beds reported by Kentucky DOC on March 26, 2026.
Clark County Jail Restricted Custody Program
30 Wall Street
Winchester, KY 40391
859-745-0270
37 JRC beds reported by Kentucky DOC, with restricted-custody status.
Clark County Booking Records
After an arrest by Winchester Police, Clark County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky State Police Post 7, or another agency with jurisdiction, the person may be transported to Clark County Detention Center for intake. Booking normally includes receiving the person from the arresting officer, checking identity and warrants, inventorying property, taking fingerprints and a booking photo, screening for medical or mental-health concerns, and classifying the person for secure housing, non-secure eligibility, holds, or other custody needs.
Clark County booking records should be separated from court records. A jail booking can show what the arresting agency brought to the jail, but the Kentucky Court of Justice and the Clark County Circuit Court Clerk maintain the formal court case. Bond is part of that court-linked process. The official detention-center bond page directs bonds to the Circuit Clerk's office in the Governor James Clark Judicial Center at 17 Cleveland Ave.; filed charge details belong with court records after a jail arrest.
Clark County Jail Visits
Clark County visitation details were only partly available in accessible official snippets. The detention-center site has a Visitation page, but the full page body could not be inspected. Confirm public visit schedules by calling 859-745-0270 before traveling. The source-backed items are that attorney or counsel visits should be scheduled by calling the jail for in-person or Zoom appearances, and belongings brought into the facility are subject to search.
| Visitor / Visit Type | Schedule or Method | Source-Backed Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Public visitation | Not located in accessible official source | Call 859-745-0270 before traveling. |
| Attorney / counsel visits | Call 859-745-0270 | Official visitation result says counsel should schedule in-person or Zoom appearances. |
| Belongings / security | Applies at facility entry | Official visitation result says belongings brought into the facility are subject to search. |
| ID, dress code, children | Not located in accessible official source | Do not rely on assumptions. Confirm with the jail. |
Clark County Mail and Phone
The detention-center navigation includes Inmate Mail, Commissary, Inmate Phone System, Inmate Programs, and Medical Services. Full local page text was not accessible, so avoid claims about exact mail format, package rules, public video visits, deposit limits, or vendor fees. The confirmed phone detail is that talk time can be purchased by calling 1-855-836-3364, including call time to one phone number, call time for an inmate PIN, and calling cards.
Commissary is also documented only in part. The official commissary search result says the detention center offers commissary to all inmates and that orders are placed Tuesdays and Thursdays. Confirm custody status before sending money, because a person may have been released, transferred to KOOL-tracked DOC custody, moved to federal channels, or placed in another facility.
Note: Confirm custody with Clark County Detention Center before sending funds, scheduling a visit, or relying on an online roster entry.
Clark County Release Notifications
VINELink is useful when a person drops from the roster or when release, transfer, escape, or parole-hearing notice matters. Kentucky DOC's KOOL information page says VINE can notify by phone or email and gives 1-800-511-1670. VINE is not a full jail-record research tool, and it does not replace the jail phone for current custody confirmation. It is best treated as an alert system that supports, rather than replaces, Clark County inmate records checks.
