The Woodford County Inmate Population

Woodford County has one county detention facility in official source checks: Woodford County Detention Center in Versailles. The county page says the jailer carries out the Fiscal Court duty to provide incarceration for people arrested, sentenced, or held by order of Woodford County District and Circuit Courts. That makes the local jail the first place to check for a person arrested in Woodford County, even though the sheriff's office, Circuit Clerk, Kentucky courts, state corrections, and federal agencies may each hold different records after the booking.

Kentucky Department of Corrections reporting adds one local detail that is easy to miss. KDOC weekly jail reports list Woodford as a secure jail row and a separate Woodford JRC row. JRC means Jail Restricted Custody, a community or minimum-custody jail section. The combined count matters for the full Woodford County inmate population, but the secure and JRC rows should not be blurred because secure inmates cannot always be moved into minimum-custody space.

Woodford County Inmate Population Statistics

The latest official population source inspected was the KDOC weekly jail reports index and the June 4, 2026 weekly jail report. That report lists a secure Woodford row with 63 beds and 75 reported inmates, then a separate Woodford JRC row with 32 beds and 24 reported inmates. The combined total is 95 beds and 99 people, but the secure row alone was above capacity.

The KDOC report is not a live inmate roster. It is a population report. It counts groups such as Class D inmates, controlled-intake inmates, parole violators, federal inmates, and CC eligible inmates. A reader who needs a name search should use the county roster. A reader who needs jail pressure, capacity, and population makeup should use the weekly report.

The KDOC weekly jail reports page is the source for the jail population screenshot shown below.

Those statewide reports are useful because Woodford's local jail population is split into secure and JRC rows rather than one simple facility number.

Woodford County Population Trends

Woodford County inmate population trends show why the secure and JRC split matters. The older facility-capacity figure and the current combined bed count both point to a 95-bed framework, but weekly reporting shows pressure inside the secure part of the jail. In the May 23, 2024 KDOC report, Woodford had 56 people in the secure row and 33 in JRC. By June 4, 2026, secure custody had risen to 75 while JRC had fallen to 24.

The change does not prove a long-term trend by itself. It does show that a single total can hide where crowding occurs. On June 4, 2026, the secure row was 12 people over capacity while JRC was 8 below capacity. People with secure custody needs, holds, classification limits, or federal status may not be eligible for JRC placement.

Woodford County Jail Custody Mix

The June 4, 2026 KDOC report listed 69 secure male inmates and 6 secure female inmates in Woodford County. The Woodford JRC row listed 24 non-secure male inmates and no non-secure female JRC population. The secure row also showed 1 Class D inmate, 8 controlled-intake inmates, 3 parole violators, and 31 federal inmates. The JRC row listed 15 Class D inmates and 9 CC eligible inmates.

Those labels are population-report categories, not a plain public roster. Class D inmates are state-sentenced people in a Kentucky category tracked by KDOC. Controlled intake refers to people awaiting classification or placement in the state process. A parole violator may be held because a supervision case is pending. A federal inmate in a county jail may be under federal authority even though the facility is locally operated.

JRC

Jail Restricted Custody, a community or minimum-custody jail section.

Controlled intake

A KDOC category for prisoners awaiting classification or placement.

Detainer

A request from another agency to hold or notify before release.

Class D inmate

A state-sentenced category tracked in Kentucky jail reports.

Laws for Woodford County Jail Data

Several Kentucky laws explain why jail population and custody information exists in public systems. KRS 441.025 places the duty to provide incarceration for people arrested, sentenced, or held by court order on the county fiscal court. KRS 441.055 requires jail standards for health, safety, operations, recordkeeping, custody, medical care, and construction. KRS 61.872 gives Kentucky residents a right to inspect public records unless an exception applies.

Kentucky also has a mugshot-specific rule. KRS 61.8746 addresses commercial use of booking photos or official inmate photos when removal requires payment. The rule does not turn every booking image into a public web gallery. It is aimed at pay-to-remove misuse.

Search Woodford County Inmates

The official name-search path is the Woodford County Detention Center page, which links to the JailTracker public roster. JailTracker is the starting point for current Woodford County jail custody. It is not the same as a court case search, state prison locator, or federal inmate search.

The roster is a JavaScript app. The research fetch found the app shell and client model rather than a full text profile, so display details can vary by browser and current roster configuration. If the roster does not load, the practical fallback is the jail information line, the public lobby during posted hours, or a public-records request to the agency that holds the record.

1. Open the official county detention page before using a third-party inmate site.
2. Choose the detention-center inmate list, which routes to the Woodford JailTracker roster.
3. Search by last name and first name when the name fields appear.
4. Complete the captcha if JailTracker requests one.
5. Open the offender profile, then check charges, bond fields, court data, holds, and release data.
6. If the person was sentenced to state custody, search KOOL instead of relying on the county roster.

Woodford County Roster Fields

The JailTracker model exposed fields for name search, search type, captcha validation, current-offender filtering, and released-since values. Exact labels can change on the live app, but the captured model shows the core controls a Woodford County inmate search may use.

Woodford County Inmate Records

A Woodford County inmate record may show booking and charge data from the JailTracker model. The research did not open a full live inmate profile in text, so fields should be treated as a supported inventory rather than a promise that every record displays every value to each public user. For current custody, the profile may include booking date, release date, facility, charge description, case number, bond type, bond amount, warrant number, arresting agency, court date, hold reason, sentence, and last-updated data.

Booking charges are not always final court charges. Court records after a Woodford County arrest are handled through Kentucky Court of Justice systems and the Circuit Clerk. Bond may appear on the jail profile, but Woodford bond posting is routed to the Circuit Clerk's office in the Courthouse Annex. For court charges, use the court docket or clerk, not only the jail roster.

State and Federal Inmate Search

The Kentucky Online Offender Lookup is the state locator for sentenced prisoners and state-supervised offenders. It is separate from the Woodford County jail roster. KOOL search snippets show name fields, alias searching, photo-only filtering, offender type, location, page size, and sort order. A person can move from the Woodford County roster to KOOL after sentencing or state classification.

Federal and immigration custody use different systems. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is for federal sentenced prisoners and people in BOP custody. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is for immigration detention. Kentucky VINE is a custody-status and criminal-case notification tool. None of those systems is a Woodford County mugshot gallery.

Woodford County Detention Facilities

The official facility map resolves one detention facility for Woodford County. No separate state prison, federal prison, ICE detention facility, or city jail physically located in Woodford County was found in the official source checks. State and federal locators still matter because Woodford defendants can move into those systems after a local arrest or court order.

• Woodford County Detention Center holds people arrested, sentenced, or held by Woodford County District and Circuit Court order, with secure jail beds and JRC beds reported separately by KDOC.

The official county detention-center page lists Jailer Michele Rankin, the jail phone, fax, office hours, and links to the inmate list and detention-center website. The county page also tells the public to contact the Detention Center directly for visitation, allowed items, and other jail-specific rules.

Woodford County Records Contacts

Woodford County custody and court records are split across nearby public counters in Versailles. Jail custody and visitation questions go to the detention center on Beasley Drive. Court case records and bond posting go to the Circuit Clerk at the Courthouse Annex. Sheriff-created reports, such as some incident or arrest records, go through the sheriff's written open-records process.
