Lookup Woodford County Detention Center Inmates

Woodford County Detention Overview

Woodford County's official detention page identifies the Woodford County Detention Center in Versailles and lists the jailer, contact details, hours, and quick links. For Anderson County users, Woodford is not the primary jail, but it is a current overflow or contract-housing facility in the research. The March 3, 2026 Anderson Fiscal Court agenda snippet reported 2 Anderson inmates at Woodford County Detention Center while 55 were at Franklin County Regional Jail.

The facility is operated by the Woodford County Jailer. The official county page names Jailer Michele Rankin and describes the office as fulfilling the Fiscal Court requirement to provide incarceration of prisoners who are arrested, sentenced, or held by order of District and Circuit Courts in the county. That statement is a Woodford County purpose statement, but it helps explain the facility type: a local county detention center, not a Kentucky state prison and not a federal or ICE detention center.

Woodford County Jail Capacity

Woodford is the only assigned facility with a sourced capacity figure in the research. The Facility Map says 95 beds were found in an official Woodford County Detention Center Facebook snippet, while the official county HTML page did not repeat the bed count. That distinction matters. The bed number can be used with a careful source note, but it should not be treated as a current live population count or as a figure published on the county detention page itself.

The Woodford figure is part of a broader Anderson County contract-custody picture. Anderson County's local jail lookup starts with Franklin County Regional Jail because most current agenda snippets place Anderson detainees there. Woodford should be checked when Franklin does not show the person, when a recent Anderson custody count mentions Woodford, or when a court, jailer, attorney, or family contact says the person was transferred to Versailles.

Search Woodford County Jail Roster

The official county page links a Detention Center Inmate List to the public-safety-cloud vendor at omsweb.public-safety-cloud.com. The research pass did not fully render the vendor interface, so field-level promises should stay limited. Use the linked inmate list first, and then call the jail when the person's name is common, the arrest is recent, or the result does not clearly show current Woodford custody.

1. Open the Woodford County detention page and follow its inmate-list link to the public-safety-cloud roster.
2. Search by name and check whether the person appears in current Woodford custody.
3. Compare the record with Anderson County details, such as arrest date, court date, or known charge information.
4. If the list does not load or the result is unclear, call Woodford County Detention Center at 859-873-3196.
5. Use KOOL for sentenced state custody and VINE for custody-status notifications.

Woodford's jail list is for county detention. Kentucky Online Offender Lookup is a separate state tool for sentenced or state-supervised offenders, and it may show state inmate records, parole status, offender photos when present, and VINE links. It should not replace the Woodford roster for a very recent county booking. VINE can be useful after a person is found because it provides custody-status and case notifications, including release or transfer alerts.

Woodford County Jail Contact

The Woodford County official detention page gives the address, phone, fax, and public office hours. Those hours are not the same thing as a guaranteed visit window, court transport schedule, or bond-posting rule. For any Anderson County detainee held at Woodford, the housing jail controls lobby instructions, approved items, visit scheduling, mail handling, phone access, and commissary procedures while the person is in that facility.

The Woodford County page captured in the image manifest is the official source for the detention center contact listing. The screenshot below comes from that Woodford County official detention center contact page.

The county page is useful for address, phone, fax, hours, and roster routing, but visit appointments and allowed items still need current confirmation from the detention center.

Woodford County Jail Visitation

Woodford's visitation detail is more specific than Franklin or Shelby in the research. The official visitation snippet says all visits must be by appointment only and visitors must call Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. to schedule. The county detention page also tells users to contact the detention center for visitation and allowed items. That means a visitor should not appear without an appointment, even if the person is listed as in custody.

Visitors should ask whether the visit is in person or video, whether the inmate must place the visitor on an approved list, and which photo ID is required. Dress rules, arrival times, child visitor rules, and cancellation rules can change. Anderson County court involvement does not change the fact that Woodford sets the rules for people housed inside Woodford County Detention Center.

Note: Call during the appointment window before travel because Woodford visitation is not walk-in access.

Woodford County Jail Mail Money

Woodford County Detention Center has official navigation for commissary, inmate mail, inmate email, inmate phone system, bond information, family resources, visitation, programs, volunteers, the garden project, roadside program, and PREA. The research confirms these service categories but did not capture exact fee schedules, deposit vendors, email vendor rules, or mail-format text. Use the current Woodford jail pages or call the facility before sending money, books, photographs, packages, or legal mail.

Woodford County Jail Records

A Woodford roster record for an Anderson County detainee should be read as a custody record from the housing jail, not as the whole Anderson court case. The jail record may show current custody status, intake timing, or related booking information, depending on what the list displays. Court records after an Anderson arrest still come through the Kentucky Court of Justice and Anderson County courts. The prosecutor may amend or dismiss charges, and a court bond order may differ from a roster summary.

For records requests, first identify which agency created the record. A Woodford jail custody record should be requested from Woodford County Detention Center or the correct Woodford custodian. An Anderson court case should be requested from the Anderson Circuit Court Clerk. A state prison record should be checked in KOOL or through Kentucky DOC channels. A federal sentence should be searched in the BOP locator, while immigration custody should be checked through ICE.

Woodford County Jail Programs

The Woodford detention site navigation shows more program and policy categories than were captured for some other facilities in this project. It includes inmate programs, the garden project, roadside program, volunteers, family resources, and PREA. PREA is the Prison Rape Elimination Act, a federal law and standards framework addressing sexual abuse and harassment in confinement settings. The research does not provide specific program eligibility rules, so inmates and families should confirm current access with Woodford County Detention Center.
