Madison County Jail Roster Overview
The Madison County Detention Center is the county jail for Madison County. Its official page lists the address as 107 W Irvine Street, Richmond, Kentucky 40475, telephone (859) 624-4710, and business hours Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The facility operates around the clock for custody operations. The jailer is Larry Brock. The official page states that the jail's average daily population is over 500 county, federal, and state inmates.
The detention center houses people awaiting trial and people sentenced to the Madison County Detention Center. The official jail page also describes alternatives such as home incarceration and Work Release. Duties listed by the jail include supervision, medical care, visitation, transportation, feeding, facility security, maintenance, repairs, and other inmate-related operations. The inmate roster is therefore a custody and booking tool, while court outcomes must be checked through the court record.

Search Madison County Inmate Records
The Madison County Detention Center inmate-search page links to a vendor-hosted current-inmate inquiry portal. The portal is the main public online tool for a recent Madison County booking. Use it before calling when the question is basic custody status, but call the jail if the arrest was very recent, the roster is unavailable, or the result needs confirmation.
- Open the Madison County inmate inquiry portal.
- Search by name, subject number, booking number, custody status, booking date range, or housing facility when known.
- Review result rows for name, booking number, custody status, booking date, and housing facility.
- Open the inmate profile or result detail to review charge, bond, court date, and arresting-agency fields if shown.
- Call the detention center when the person may have just been booked, transferred, released, or misidentified.
The roster should not be used as a full criminal record. Charges on a jail profile may be intake labels, preliminary charges, or fields configured by the portal. Filed counts, amendments, dismissals, pleas, and sentencing belong in the court case file. A related Madison County warrant or charge question may need a KCOJ docket search and Circuit Court Clerk verification.
Madison County Inmate Search Fields
The inmate inquiry portal exposes several search fields, which makes it more useful than a simple name list. A name search is helpful when spelling is known. A booking number or subject number is better when available. Booking date fields can narrow a recent arrest period, while the housing facility field helps when the portal environment includes more than one facility option.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | No | Use first or last name spellings known from the arrest, court notice, or family contact. |
| Subject Number | Text | No | Use when an exact subject or jail identifier is known. |
| Booking Number | Text | No | Best for a known booking entry. |
| In Custody | Dropdown or filter | No | Limits results by custody status. |
| Booking From Date | Date | No | Start date for a booking range. |
| Booking To Date | Date | No | End date for a booking range. |
| Housing Facility | Dropdown | No | Observed options include Madison County Detention Center plus other portal-environment facilities. |
The assigned Madison County inmate inquiry portal source shows the local search route for current jail records.
The portal is the county online starting point, but it should be paired with jail phone contact or court records when timing or legal status matters.
Madison County Inmate Profile Fields
A public inmate profile can show more than a name and booking date. The research captured result and vendor-format fields, with the caution that Madison-specific display may vary by configuration. Do not promise a mugshot or every field on every profile unless the current Madison record shows it. Treat profile data as custody status and booking context, not as proof that the person was convicted.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person listed in the jail result or profile. |
| Subject or jail identifier | A local identifier attached to the person in the portal. |
| Booking number | The number tied to the booking event. |
| Custody status | Whether the person appears in custody or in another configured status. |
| Booking date | The date of the jail booking entry. |
| Housing facility | The facility associated with the booking record. |
| Charge | The booking or court-related charge label shown by the portal, if configured. |
| Current disposition | A status field that may describe the charge or custody condition. |
| Total bail | Bond or bail field when available. |
| Attorney | Attorney field when the portal record includes one. |
| Next court date | Scheduled hearing information if exposed by the roster. |
| Arresting agency | The law-enforcement agency tied to the booking. |
| Release date | Release information if the configured profile displays it. |
Booking and Court Date Context
Madison County inmate records often sit between law enforcement and the court system. A person may be arrested by the sheriff, Richmond Police, Berea Police, another Kentucky agency, or a federal or state authority. The jail books the person, records custody details, and may list charges or bond fields. The court then handles arraignment, preliminary hearings, indictment, plea, trial, disposition, or sentencing depending on the case type.
District Court often handles misdemeanors, traffic misdemeanors, arraignments, preliminary felony proceedings, and first court settings. Circuit Court handles felony indictments, felony pleas, trials, sentencing, probation revocation, and post-judgment motions. A next court date on a jail profile can help with timing, but the KCOJ docket search and Circuit Court Clerk should be used to verify the official setting. A bond amount on a roster is also context, not a full court order.
Important: Jail custody status can change quickly, so confirm releases, transfers, bond changes, and court dates with official channels.
KOOL, VINE, and Jail Records
Madison County jail records, KOOL, and VINE answer different questions. The county inmate inquiry portal is the local tool for current Madison County Detention Center custody. KOOL, the Kentucky Department of Corrections offender search, is for sentenced or supervised state offenders. It should not be treated as the only source for a new county arrestee. Kentucky VINE is a custody-notification service that can help users search custody status and receive notifications.
| Tool | Best Use | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Madison inmate inquiry | Current Madison County Detention Center booking and custody search. | Not a complete criminal conviction or court-record system. |
| KOOL | Kentucky Department of Corrections offenders, including sentenced or supervised state offenders. | May not show a newly booked Madison County arrestee. |
| Kentucky VINE | Custody search and custody notifications. | Notification and custody focus, not the full court case file. |
| KCOJ dockets | Court-date lookup for Madison Circuit and District proceedings. | Not an official docket and not a jail roster. |
Madison County Jail Visitation
The official Madison County Detention Center visitation page is brief. It links users to provider-supported services for visiting an inmate and funding an inmate wallet. The accessible official text did not publish a detailed visitation schedule, dress code, child-visitor rule, video-visit fee, mail scanning rule, tablet provider, or phone-call rate. Those details should be confirmed with the jail or the linked provider before a visit is planned.
| Service | Official Detail Located | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Visit an inmate | Detention Center visitation page links to a visit service. | Madison County jail visitation page. |
| Fund inmate wallet | Visitation page links to a wallet-funding service. | Madison County jail visitation page. |
| Public schedule | No detailed public schedule was exposed in accessible official text. | Call the jail before travel. |
| Jail questions | Call (859) 624-4710. | Detention Center official page. |
Note: Attorney visits and public visits may follow different rules, but Madison-specific attorney-visit rules were not located in official text.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
The detention center commissary page names Jail Canteen and directs online commissary orders to CareACell / Joint Accounts. The official Madison County jail commissary source states that commissaries ordered through the online portal are delivered to inmates on Tuesdays and Fridays. It also states that in-house commissary is delivered daily and that all orders must be placed by 8:00 a.m.
The assigned CareACell source supports the provider note for commissary and inmate funds.
Provider pages may control account setup and payment steps, while the jail page supplies the Madison County delivery timing.
| Commissary Item | Official Detail |
|---|---|
| Online provider | Jail Canteen / CareACell through the Joint Accounts URL. |
| Online order delivery | Tuesdays and Fridays. |
| In-house commissary | Delivered daily. |
| Order deadline | Orders must be placed by 8:00 a.m. |
| Jail phone | (859) 624-4710 for jail questions. |
Madison County Inmate Record Requests
When an inmate record is not shown online, the access channel depends on the record type. Current custody and jail-status questions go to the Detention Center. Court dates, filed charges, bond orders, warrants, and dispositions go through KCOJ dockets, CourtNet where available, or the Circuit Court Clerk. County-government records outside the court file may use the Madison County Fiscal Court open-records process, which routes requests to the custodian of the division holding the record.
The official Madison County open-records page states that noncommercial standard-format photocopies may cost $0.10 per page. Electronic media and mechanical processing costs may be charged, postage may be charged, and staff time is not charged for noncommercial reproduction. Commercial requests may require a contract and may include staff time. Fees must be paid before copies are made. Requests may be reviewed by a department director or designee and may require clearance by the County Judge Executive or County Attorney.
