How to Use the Campbell County Detention Center Inmate Search
The official jail site directs the public to the Current Inmates listing. If the direct JailTracker link fails or changes, go through ccdc.ky.gov, choose Information, then select Current Inmates.
Save the jacket number first
The jacket number is used for money deposits, commissary, inmate account questions and some support tasks. If you cannot see it in the listing, call the jail or get it directly from the inmate.
Open the official jail information page
Use Campbell County Detention Center General Information. This is the safest starting point if a direct JailTracker link changes.
Select Current Inmates
On the official site, use the top navigation path Information → Current Inmates. The jail says this takes users to the JailTracker search engine.
Search by name
Enter the person’s first and last name. If the search fails, try legal-name spelling, a shorter last-name search, hyphenated names or alternate surname order.
Open the matching profile carefully
Confirm the person by visible identifiers. Do not rely on name alone when several people have similar names.
Review bond and charge information as unverified until checked
The jail FAQ says bond information appears under the inmate’s picture. Court records, bond receipts and the clerk’s office control final court details.
Save what you need for the next step
Write down the full name, jacket number, booking information, bond amount if shown, and date/time you checked.
| Item you find | Why it matters | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Jacket number / inmate ID | Used for commissary, money order memo lines, lobby deposits and some account questions. | Save it before sending money or mail. |
| Bond amount | The FAQ says bond information appears under the inmate picture when available. | Check the posting-a-bond rules and call before bringing cash. |
| Charges | The jail says listed charges are accusations, not convictions. | Verify public court information through Campbell District/Circuit Court. |
| No matching result | The person may be released, transferred, held federally, listed under another spelling or not booked there. | Use the no-result troubleshooting section below. |
If the Person Does Not Appear in JailTracker
A missing result does not always mean the person is not in custody. The jail FAQ says if you do not find the person on Current Inmates and know they are incarcerated there, contact the jail.
Federal or immigration custody
The jail FAQ says CCDC cannot release information on federal or immigration detainees. It lists the United States Marshals Service at 513-684-1594 and Immigration and Customs Enforcement at 872-351-3990 for those situations.
Recent booking or release
The public listing can change. Recheck later, call the jail, or verify the court case if you know there was a recent arrest, release, bond posting or transfer.
Name mismatch
Try hyphenated last names, legal surname order, nicknames replaced with legal first names, and partial spelling when available.
Campbell County Bond: Where to Post and What to Bring
Bond steps depend on time of day and bond type. The jail’s official bond page says cash bonds during District Court hours must be posted at the District Court Clerk’s Office, then the receipt must be brought to the detention center.
Post at District Court, 330 York St., Newport, KY 41071. Then bring the receipt to CCDC at 601 Central Ave.
Bring valid ID and the exact cash amount. The jail says a $30 fee is added and it does not give change.
The detention center says it does not process property bonds at any time.
Check the inmate profile first
The jail FAQ says bond information appears under the inmate’s picture in the inmate listing when available.
Call for the exact after-hours cash amount
If posting after court is closed, call 859-431-4611 because the jail adds a $30 fee and does not give change.
Bring the right location and receipt
During court hours, pay at District Court and bring the receipt to CCDC. After hours, go directly to CCDC with ID and correct cash.
Ask the court about refunds and fees
CCDC says bonds posted at the jail are turned over to Campbell County District Court. Refund questions and fee explanations must be obtained from District Court.
Do not send bond money through an unofficial app, caller or social media account. CCDC’s bond page specifies court and jail routes; verify the exact amount before paying.
Public Visitation: Remote and Onsite Video Visits
Campbell County Detention Center uses scheduled video visits. The official visitation page says visits cannot be made over the phone with detention-center staff and the jail cannot give visitation times over the phone for confirmation.
Onsite does not mean face-to-face

9:00 AM to 8:30 PM.
1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

| Commissary limit | Inmates are limited to $100 worth of commissary in a revolving seven-day period. | Do not overfund expecting unlimited weekly commissary purchases. |

Inmate Mail, Legal Mail, Money Orders and Books
Campbell County changed its inmate mail process in 2021. Standard non-legal friends-and-family mail no longer goes to the Central Avenue jail address; it goes to the Highland Heights P.O. Box format below.

Highland Heights, KY 41076
Campbell County Jail

Books must be brand new, paperback only, 6"x9" or smaller, no more than 2 inches wide, and inmates are permitted to have two books at a time. The jail says books are not returned if not permitted.
Phone, Texting and Communication Updates
Campbell County Detention Center posted a September 15, 2026 notice that it is upgrading its inmate communication system. The jail says people who recently communicated with an inmate may receive a text asking them to confirm whether they want to continue communication, and the notice says this is a security precaution, not a scam.
Combined Public Communications customer care number listed in the jail’s update.
The jail says Chirping is CPC’s inmate texting product. Funds may be added through InmateSales.
The jail says replying STOP to a Chirp stops those messages.
| Communication item | Listed detail | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Chirping monthly service fee | $4.00 monthly service fee charged to inmates. | Confirm the inmate has the device and available funds before relying on texting. |
| Inbound / outbound Chirps | $0.10 each. | Use InmateSales only through official routes and avoid unofficial payment links. |
| Vending account support | Customer support: 877-998-5678. | Call support for InmateSales/VendKwik issues, not the jail staff for website support. |
The jail’s 2026 update says the confirmation text tied to the communication-system upgrade is a security precaution. Still, do not enter payment information from random links unless you have confirmed the route through the official jail page or known InmateSales account.
