The detention center houses county, state and federal inmates and serves law-enforcement agencies throughout Pulaski County.

Somerset, KY 42503
Use this number when current custody or a facility procedure cannot be confirmed online.
The facility may house people under different agencies, so the correct court or custody authority can vary.
How to Search Pulaski County Detention Center Inmates
The detention center publishes a current inmate roster. Use that local roster first when you believe someone is presently housed at the Somerset facility.
Open the official inmate roster
Use the Current Inmates option on the Pulaski County Detention Center website.
Find the correct name
Compare the full name and any available identifiers before treating a record as a match.
Save the inmate identifier
The identifier is particularly useful for personal mail, deposits, communication services and staff questions.
Record the custody details
Save useful booking, charge or bond information before leaving the roster.
Use the correct next resource
Move to the court record, Kentucky KOOL or GettingOut services depending on what you need next.
What to Save After Finding the Inmate
Finding the person is only the first task. Record the details that will make later jail and court steps easier.
Use the spelling shown by the detention system.
This is important for digital mail and other inmate services.
These details help you determine which court and release process matter next.
Jail information shows custody and current allegations. The court record is where later hearings, changes and disposition are documented.
Can’t Find Someone on the Pulaski County Roster?
The arrest may be recent, the person may already have been released, or another agency may control the custody.
If the arrest just happened
Call 606-678-0130 with the person’s full name, date of birth and approximate arrest time if known.
Ask whether booking is complete and whether the person is currently housed at PCDC.
If the person was previously listed
Check the related court case and Kentucky Online Offender Lookup. Release or transfer may explain the missing local record.
You Found the Inmate. What Should You Do Next?
Most families now need release information, court details or a way to communicate. Choose the task that solves the immediate problem.
Confirm the court’s current release conditions before paying anything.
Use the Pulaski County Court of Justice for case and hearing information.
GettingOut handles current onsite and remote video visits.
Account verification is required before accepting normal inmate calls.
Inmate, Friends & Family and trust-account funds serve different purposes.
Personal mail no longer goes to the physical jail address.
Bond and Pretrial Release in Pulaski County
Kentucky’s release system is different from states that use commercial bail-bond companies. Commercial bail bonding has been outlawed in Kentucky since 1976.
Pretrial Services operates statewide, including Pulaski County. Specialists conduct a criminal-history and risk assessment for people arrested on bailable offenses.
Kentucky says the required assessment is conducted within 24 hours of arrest. If immediate pre-arraignment release does not apply, a judge makes the release decision.
Release based on the person’s promise to appear and follow court conditions.
No money is collected upfront, although a financial obligation can attach if conditions are violated.
The judge may require money, property or a partially secured amount depending on the case.
Call the jail or Pulaski County court if the amount, bond type or payment destination is unclear.
Find the Pulaski County Criminal Court Case
The jail roster tells you about custody. Kentucky Court of Justice records are the better source for the criminal case itself.
