Boyle County Detention Center Inmate Lookup

Boyle County Detention Center Overview

The Boyle County Detention Center is the secure county jail serving Danville, Perryville, Junction City, and the rest of Boyle County. It is operated through the Boyle County Jailer and detention-center staff, not as a sheriff-run state prison. The official county detention page identifies Brian Wofford as jailer and points the public to the detention-center site for inmate information, including current charges, bond information, bond amounts, and photographs.

The local jail population is broader than one category. A person listed at the detention center may be a pretrial detainee after a recent arrest, a county prisoner, a Class D state inmate housed locally, a controlled-intake inmate waiting on state movement, or a parole violator. The separate Boyle County JRC reporting line is covered on its own facility page, but people trying to find someone in local custody should still begin with the Boyle County JailTracker roster unless the person has clearly moved to Kentucky Department of Corrections custody.

The county's detention-center page is the official public-facing county source for the building, address, hours, staff contacts, and inmate-information route.

That page matters because it ties the county CivicPlus site to the older detention-center site and the JailTracker roster, so users can distinguish official local custody information from third-party search results.

Boyle County Detention Center Capacity and Population

The Kentucky Department of Corrections Weekly Jail report for June 4, 2026 lists the Boyle secure jail line with 140 total beds and a reported population of 76. That placed the secure jail at 54% capacity and 64 people under capacity in that weekly snapshot. The same report counted 12 Class D inmates, 6 controlled-intake inmates, 2 parole violators, and 0 federal inmates on the secure jail line.

The sub-lines in that report show 53 secure male residents, 17 secure female residents, 5 non-secure male residents, and 1 non-secure female resident. Those figures are weekly jail reporting data, not a live roster count. A live custody question should still be checked against JailTracker or confirmed with the detention center because releases, transfers, and new bookings can change faster than a weekly report.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Boyle County Detention Center

For current local custody, use the official Boyle County JailTracker roster. The county directs users to this detention-center route for current inmate information, bond amounts, current charges, and photographs. Do not use Kentucky KOOL as the first search for a person who was just arrested in Boyle County. KOOL is the state DOC lookup and is more appropriate after sentencing or transfer into state custody.

1. Open the official Boyle County JailTracker roster from the detention-center site or the Public Safety Cloud URL.
2. Search the roster using the person's name. The static capture did not confirm every live search field, so avoid assuming exact filters before the roster loads.
3. Open the matching custody record and check whether the person is listed under Boyle County Detention Center or another local reporting category.
4. Review the available current charges, bond information, bond amount, and photograph, then verify urgent release or bond questions with the jail or court clerk.

If the roster does not load, call the detention center at 859-238-1100 ext. 300, use the older county phone listing 859-238-1127 if routed there, or visit the public lobby during posted public hours. Older booking records, records not visible online, and copies of jail records should be requested through Boyle County open records rather than guessed from a live roster page.

Boyle County Detention Center Address and Contact

The jail is on the South Danville Bypass, away from the courthouse block in downtown Danville. The courthouse is still important for weekday monetary bonds, but the detention center is the custody point for booking, lobby kiosks, jail records routing, and weekend or closure-day bond handling.

The detention-site footer also lists 859-238-1100 x1011, while the county courthouse phone page lists an older direct detention number, 859-238-1127. Medical questions documented in the detention-center materials route to 859-238-1100 ext. 183. Have the person's full name, date of birth if known, and the reason for the call before contacting staff.

Visiting Someone at Boyle County Detention Center

Boyle County publishes video visitation for the detention center. The official visitation page says visits are available daily from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and that each resident receives two free 15-minute visits per seven-day period. The county page also references scheduling a video visit from home or outside the jail, so visitors should confirm the account setup, identity requirements, and availability before relying on a time slot.

The official Boyle County visitation page gives the daily video schedule and free-visit allowance.

Because visitation is video-based and runs much later than the public lobby, confirm whether help with accounts, kiosks, or denied visits is available before traveling to the facility.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Boyle County Detention Center

Standard friend and family mail does not go to the jail street address. Boyle County uses TextBehind for standard mail scanning. Legal mail and money orders use the jail address in Danville, and all incoming mail should include the resident's name, inmate ID, and a return address. The mail rules also limit paper size and thickness, restrict the types of enclosures, and state that noncompliant mail may be destroyed or not returned.

The jail's mail policy page shows the TextBehind address, legal-mail address, scan rules, and prohibited items.

The split between TextBehind mail and jail-address legal mail is one of the most important Boyle County details to verify before sending anything by post.

For commissary, Boyle County lists CorrectPay, the black kiosk in the detention-center lobby, money orders, and KW Corrections care packages. For phone funds, the detention-center materials point to InmateSales and a blue lobby kiosk. Do not send Western Union payments because the official commissary page says Western Unions are not accepted.

Booking and Intake at Boyle County Detention Center

A local arrest may begin with Danville Police, Perryville Police, Junction City Police, the Boyle County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky State Police, or another agency, but the jail record converges at the detention center when the person is booked locally. Intake creates the local custody record, handles property, photographs the person, and starts the jail classification and medical screening process.

The first roster entry can change after Pretrial Services interviews the person and the court sets release conditions. Local bond pages explain that Pretrial Services interviews each inmate within 24 hours of booking when applicable, and bond amounts and conditions generally return to the jail by 1:00 p.m. daily. A no-contact condition, drug testing condition, cash bond, unsecured bond, partially secured bond, surety arrangement, or bail-credit authorization may affect release even when a bond amount appears.

Bond information for current local inmates appears through the detention-center inmate-information route, but the payment location depends on timing and bond type. Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., monetary bonds go through the Boyle Circuit Court Clerk at the Boyle County Courthouse, 321 West Main Street, third floor, Danville. The detention center accepts bonds without monetary value at any time and accepts monetary bonds when the courthouse is closed for weekends, holidays, or other closures. Property bonds and bonds of $10,000 or greater are handled only through the Circuit Court Clerk's office. If a person is sentenced or transferred to state custody, switch from JailTracker to Kentucky KOOL and use the county roster only to understand the earlier jail stage.

Programs and Local Notes at Boyle County Detention Center

Boyle County's detention-center materials list several local programs, including SAP, MRT tracks, PORTAL New Direction, GED, Jail to Job, and a community inmate work program. The program page says community work can involve city and county government projects, nonprofit organizations, and the school system. Jailer Wofford's page also emphasizes treatment, reentry, continuity of care, deputy training, and security improvements.

The official inmate programs page lists substance-use, cognitive-behavioral, education, job-readiness, and community-work options.

Program eligibility is not the same as a public roster status. Families should ask the resident, counsel, or appropriate jail staff about whether a specific person qualifies for a class, work assignment, or reentry service.
