Search Powell County Inmate Records

Powell County Jail Roster Overview

The official current-custody channel is the PCDC Resident Directory, linked from the Powell County Detention Center homepage. The directory is the correct first stop for the Powell County Detention Center and, unless a separate source is later verified, for Powell RCC questions routed through the same detention center. It is an official local channel, but the research could not capture the live search fields or sample record fields because the portal is a dynamic Blazor app. That gap changes the wording: use the fields shown by the live app, but do not assume the public profile includes a booking photo, charges, bond, housing unit, release date, or booking number.

Powell County inmate records split by custody type. New arrests, pretrial detainees, local inmates, and some state or Class D inmates can be held at the county jail. Sentenced Kentucky offenders may move to the Kentucky Online Offender Lookup after DOC processing. Federal inmates are searched through the BOP inmate locator, and immigration detainees are searched through ICE ODLS. The Powell County jail roster is not a complete statewide criminal-history system, and it is not the official court case file.

Use the Powell County Inmate Roster

Start at the detention center site rather than an aggregator. The PCDC homepage links the resident directory, commissary, phone, video visitation, fee payment, and mobile web app routes. The app is also advertised as a way to check the resident directory, schedule visitation, add funds, and apply to work at the jail. No Apple App Store or Google Play listing was verified, so treat it as a PWA-style web app.

1. Open the official Powell County Detention Center website and choose the Resident Directory link.
2. Use the search controls displayed by the live Cadmus Scribe app.
3. If the directory fails, retry later and call PCDC at (606) 663-6400 for current custody, transfer, or release status.
4. For older booking records, use the PCDC contact page and ask for a specific record such as a booking sheet or release record.
5. If the person was sentenced or transferred, search KOOL and consider VINELink notification.

The captured resident-directory page confirms the official destination, even though static text did not expose the app's search controls.

Powell County Roster Search Fields

The resident directory's field inventory is intentionally limited here because the live app did not expose controls in the research capture. A Powell County inmate records page should not publish guessed fields. The more reliable approach is to explain the source limit and give the fallback chain that a caller or requester can use when the online roster does not answer the question.

For state custody, KOOL offers a fuller public field set: last name, first name, middle name, alias search, photo-only filter, location filter, and sort order. KDOC says KOOL data updates four times daily and photos are available for most offenders but not guaranteed.

Powell County Inmate Profile Details

When a Powell County profile is incomplete or unavailable online, ask for records by name. The PCDC contact page has a local open-records request area with name, email, and details fields. Although the local page labels the request area as FOIA, Kentucky local jail records are usually handled under Kentucky open-records practice rather than federal FOIA. The clearer request is short and specific: name the person, give the approximate booking date, and identify the record needed.

County, State, and Federal Inmates

The Powell County jail roster covers current local custody. KOOL covers sentenced or state offenders. BOP covers sentenced federal inmates, while USMS may be involved before a federal sentence. ICE ODLS is separate and should not be used as a county booking search. A hold or detainer can delay release even when a local bond looks payable, so a roster result should be checked against the court clerk, jail, or outside agency when the status is unclear.

Powell County Jail Facilities

Powell County's local detention map is compact but not one-dimensional. KDOC reports the secure jail and Powell RCC separately. The local detention center site also describes education, work readiness, substance-abuse treatment, medication-assisted treatment, mentorship, phone and video services, commissary, and fee-payment channels.

Booking Process in Powell County

Powell County booking follows the Kentucky full-service jail framework. After an arrest by a local or state officer, the person is transported to PCDC for intake identification, property handling, search, booking photo and fingerprints, medical or mental-health screening, charge and bond entry, classification, and housing. The local research did not verify a roster posting time, so do not rely on a fixed delay after arrest.

Booking charges are not the final court record. Powell District Court or Powell Circuit Court handles the formal case path after filing, and the Powell Circuit Court Clerk is the record custodian for official case records. For the court side after booking, use the Powell County court records after jail arrest page and the Kentucky Court of Justice docket search.

Powell County Jail Visitation

The current PCDC visitation page says the facility no longer offers in-person visitation. Video visitation is scheduled through InmateSales. Remote video visits can be made from home for a fee, while lobby kiosk scheduling is described as available 24 hours a day at no charge. Always confirm current access before travel because lobby use, scheduling, and account rules can change faster than static pages.

The official visitation page is especially important because it states the no in-person visitation rule and postcard-mail policy.

Contact and Mail for Powell County Inmates

Ordinary mail must be in postcard form rather than an enclosed envelope. Inmate-to-inmate correspondence is not permitted. Legal mail is opened in front of the resident and inspected for contraband. Commissary money orders may be mailed separately and marked for commissary. The published mailing address is Powell Co Detention Center, PO Box 1899, Stanton, KY 40380.

Phone service is linked through CPC/InmateSales. The provider material describes Direct Pay, PIN debit, prepaid calling cards in some settings, online funding, phone funding, and lobby kiosk funding. A phone account is not proof that someone is still housed locally, so confirm custody before sending funds or scheduling visits.

Commissary and Inmate Funds

PCDC links commissary and deposits to CorrectPay, fee payment to JPay, and phone or video services through CPC/InmateSales. CorrectPay lists online, toll-free phone, and lobby kiosk deposit channels and says deposits are generally available immediately unless stated otherwise. It also says Cash App cannot be used and that inmate balances cannot be released to third parties.
