How to Mail a Laurel County Correctional Center Inmate
Personal inmate mail does not go to the jail’s Hammock Road street address. Laurel County uses an off-site scanning address in Maryland.
Inmate’s Name + Jacket Number
P.O. Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131
Before mailing
- Confirm the inmate is still at Laurel County Correctional Center.
- Use the full inmate name.
- Include the jacket number.
- Add your complete return address.
- Do not send money inside ordinary correspondence.
- Verify legal-mail rules separately.
How to Pick Up an Inmate’s Property
The inmate must approve the property release. A family member cannot simply arrive and collect property without authorization.
Go to the facility
Property release is handled at the correctional center.
Bring identification
The person receiving property must present ID.
Wait for inmate authorization
The property owner must confirm that the items may be released to you.
Released, Transferred or No Longer Listed?
A missing roster result does not automatically prove release. Follow the custody trail before making that assumption.
Check the local roster again
Confirm that the person is no longer listed by Laurel County.
Check the Laurel County court case
A bond order, sentence or other court event may explain the custody change.
Search Kentucky KOOL
Use the state system if the person may have entered Kentucky correctional custody.
Use VINE for alerts
VINE can send qualifying release and transfer notifications.
How to Search Kentucky KOOL Correctly
KOOL is useful for state custody and supervision records. It should not replace Laurel County’s local roster when you are checking a fresh county booking.
Start with less information
Kentucky DOC specifically recommends entering as little information as needed to get a match.
No result?
Check spelling, reset the search form and remove extra filters before trying again.
Get Custody Notifications With Kentucky VINE
VINE can monitor qualifying custody changes from participating county jails and Kentucky correctional facilities.
Register to receive a notification when a covered offender is released.
VINE can notify users when the offender transfers from a county jail.
VINE also supports online registration through VINELink.
Safety and PREA Concerns
Laurel County’s official site links to PREA resources and also provides an anonymous-tip system for information that may help prevent or address a safety problem.
Non-emergency safety information
The anonymous-tip form is reviewed by detective and upper-command staff rather than posted publicly.
Immediate danger
The facility says its anonymous-tip form is not an emergency service. Call 911 or the facility directly when someone is in immediate danger.
Before You Call the Correctional Center
A focused call is easier for staff to handle than a broad request about someone’s entire case.
Use the exact name shown in the booking record.
Keep it available if you already found the inmate in JailTracker.
Ask about custody, bond status, property, visitation or which office handles your issue.
