Daviess County Detention Center Inmate Search & Info
Daviess County Detention Center Inmate Search, Bond & Family Information
Looking for someone booked in Owensboro? The Daviess County Detention Center provides a JailTracker inmate lookup for people currently housed at the facility.
This guide explains what the lookup shows, what it does not show, and what to do next for bond, court, visits, money, medical concerns or a possible transfer.
Open Official Inmate Lookup Call DCDC: 270-685-8466Daviess County Detention Center Quick Information
DCDC is a county detention facility in Owensboro. Its official website is hosted with JailTracker and provides the public inmate-search route.
3337 Highway 144
Owensboro, KY 42303
Use the operator for current detention information or the correct department.
Do not fax records, medical information or legal material unless staff tells you to use fax.
How to Search Daviess County Detention Center Inmates
Start with the Inmate Lookup tab on the detention center’s official website. It is intended for people currently housed at DCDC.
Open the DCDC website
Select the Inmate Lookup option from the jail’s navigation.
Search for the correct person
Use the inmate’s legal name and compare available identifying information before assuming you found the right record.
Review arrest and charge information
Record the arrest date, listed charges and bond details that matter to your next task.
Save the inmate information
Keep the name and identifying number shown by JailTracker for later calls, deposits or mail.
Move to the court record when needed
JailTracker is for detention information. Court proceedings must be checked through Kentucky Court of Justice.
What Information Can Daviess County Release?
DCDC publishes an unusually clear public-information policy. Knowing the limits can save you from repeatedly asking staff for information they cannot release.
- Inmate name
- Age
- Arrest date
- Charges
- Bond information
- Release date for past inmates
- Home addresses
- Cell locations
- Date of birth
- Medical records
- Hospital admissions
- Transport details
- Current-inmate release dates
Can’t Find Someone in the Daviess County Jail Search?
A missing result can mean booking is still processing, the person has been released, another agency has custody or the person has moved into another Kentucky correctional placement.
Arrest happened recently?
Call 270-685-8466 with the person’s full legal name and approximate arrest date.
Ask whether the person has completed booking and is currently housed at DCDC.
Previously appeared online?
Check the court case and Kentucky KOOL. A former inmate’s release date may also appear in DCDC public information.
You Found the Inmate. What Should You Do Next?
Do not keep refreshing the roster. Save the record and move directly to the task that affects the inmate or family.
Record the bond information, then confirm how Kentucky pretrial release applies.
Use court resources for hearings and case status rather than asking the jail for court dates.
DCDC publishes separate visitor information and visitation schedules.
Confirm the inmate identifier before placing funds on an account.
Family can provide relevant health information without expecting protected records in return.
KOOL becomes useful when local custody ends or a state placement is suspected.
Daviess County Bond and Pretrial Release
The DCDC inmate lookup can show bond information, but Kentucky’s release system does not work like states that use commercial bail-bond companies.
Kentucky outlawed commercial bail bonding in 1976. Pretrial Services and the courts handle lawful pretrial release decisions.
Kentucky Pretrial Services operates in every county, 24 hours a day. Specialists interview and assess eligible defendants after arrest.
Kentucky Court of Justice states that this assessment is conducted within 24 hours for people arrested on bailable offenses.
The person may be released based on a promise to appear and obey court conditions.
The court can impose non-cash conditions depending on the defendant and case.
Cash, property or partially secured conditions can apply when ordered by the court.
Verify the current bond through the inmate record, detention center or responsible court before sending money.
Find the Daviess County Criminal Court Case
Jail information and court information solve different problems. DCDC specifically does not list court dates as public jail information.
- Current inmate
- Age
- Arrest date
- Charges
- Bond information
- Case number
- Hearings
- Court dates
- Filings and orders
- Case disposition
Use the Kentucky Court of Justice county page for the correct division and current clerk contact.
Daviess County Detention Center Visitation
DCDC maintains separate visitation-schedule and visitor-handbook resources. Check those current facility notices before traveling.
Confirm the inmate is still at DCDC
Check JailTracker before arranging transportation or changing family plans.
Check the inmate’s visitation eligibility
Housing, discipline, classification or facility operations can affect whether a visit is available.
Review the current schedule
Use DCDC’s current visitation information instead of an old schedule copied by another website.
Bring required identification
Follow current visitor identification, clothing, minor-child and security rules.
DCDC publishes visitation schedules separately, and those operational hours can change. Use the current facility schedule on the day you plan the visit.
Inmate Accounts and Commissary
DCDC maintains separate Inmate Account and Commissary resources. Use those facility links before depositing funds or ordering approved items.
Use the exact name and inmate identifier from JailTracker.
Follow the provider currently linked from DCDC’s Inmate Account page.
Facility rules determine what an inmate may purchase or receive.
Phone Calls and Communication
Do not call the main facility number expecting staff to transfer your call directly to an inmate.
Inmate telephone access is controlled through detention-center rules and any current contracted communication provider.
Detention telephone systems commonly operate under security monitoring. Attorneys should use approved privileged communication procedures.
Medical Concern About a Daviess County Inmate
DCDC has an on-site medical contact, but its public-information policy specifically states that inmate medical records and hospital admissions are not released to the public.
Family members can provide useful health or medication information to staff even when privacy rules prevent staff from giving medical details back.
PREA or Inmate-Safety Concern
DCDC maintains Prison Rape Elimination Act procedures and undergoes independent PREA audits.
Detailed PREA information about an individual inmate is not released as ordinary public inmate information.
Call 270-685-8466 and ask for the on-duty supervisor or PREA contact. Do not use an inmate-search website to report an urgent safety matter.
Need a Jail Record Instead of a Live Inmate Lookup?
JailTracker is intended for public inmate information. DCDC also maintains an Open Records Requests process for records that require a formal request.
Current custody, age, arrest date, charge and available bond information can often be checked without filing a records request.
Describe the specific existing record you need rather than asking the records custodian to answer general questions.
DCDC specifically identifies medical records, hospital admissions, cell locations, transport details and certain other inmate information as nonpublic.
Released or Transferred From Daviess County Detention Center?
If the person no longer appears as a current inmate, check several sources before assuming exactly what happened.
Recheck DCDC JailTracker
DCDC says release dates can be public for former inmates.
Check the court case
A bond order, dismissal, sentence or another court event may explain why local custody ended.
Call DCDC when unclear
Ask whether the person is currently housed there. Staff may not provide current release-date forecasts.
Search Kentucky KOOL
KOOL can identify Kentucky DOC offenders and other correctional placements.
Use VINE if you need future alerts
VINE can be useful for custody-status notifications rather than manually checking the jail page repeatedly.
Which Search Should You Use?

|---|---|
| DCDC JailTracker | Current Daviess County detention information, charges, arrest date and available bond information. |

Before Calling Daviess County Detention Center
Have the inmate’s basic identifying information ready and know exactly what question you need answered.

Keep the JailTracker identifier available once you find the correct record.
