Madison County operates the detention center in Richmond. The facility houses county inmates and also reports housing state and federal inmates.
107 W. Irvine Street
Richmond, KY 40475
Call when live custody or a jail procedure cannot be confirmed online.
8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. The secure detention operation itself functions around the clock.
How to Search Madison County Detention Center Inmates
Madison County provides a dedicated inmate-search page for people currently held at the detention center. The county says the search can be used by name and displays current status plus other available inmate details.
Open Madison County’s jail search
Start on the county’s official inmate-search page rather than a commercial jail directory.
Search the person’s name
Enter the inmate’s name carefully. If the first attempt fails, check the spelling and try a less restrictive name search.
Verify the match
Review the status and identifying details shown by the jail system before assuming two similar names refer to the same person.
Keep the inmate information
Save any subject, booking or inmate number displayed. Exact identifiers make later deposits, calls and jail inquiries easier.
A detention or booking record shows custody information. Criminal responsibility is decided through the court process, and charges or case outcomes may later change.
What If You Cannot Find the Person?
A blank search is not always a final answer. Very recent booking, release, transfer or a spelling difference can change what the online roster shows.
Arrest happened today?
Booking and data entry can take time. Call 859-624-4710 with the person’s full legal name and date of birth if known.
Previously found, but now missing?
The person may have been released or transferred. Check court activity, Kentucky VINE and Kentucky Offender Online Lookup when appropriate.
You Found the Inmate — Do These Things Next
Finding the name solves only the first part of the problem. The next step depends on whether you need release information, contact, a visit, money or court details.
Keep the exact name and any inmate or booking number shown by the jail search.
Then confirm the current amount and required court procedure before taking money anywhere.
Jail custody data and Kentucky court records answer different questions.
Madison County currently directs visitors to GettingOut for inmate visitation.
The facility is listed for AdvancePay phone and PIN Debit services.
Madison County links Care-a-Cell for commissary funding and online commissary orders.
Bond Information for a Madison County Inmate
Bond is controlled by the court, not simply by the jail roster. A listed amount should be treated as time-sensitive because a judge can modify conditions or amounts.
Confirm the inmate
Make sure the person is still held at Madison County Detention Center before arranging payment.
Confirm the current bond
Use the jail record if available, then call the detention center or court clerk when the amount or conditions need verification.
Identify the correct court
District Court and Circuit Court handle different criminal matters. Use the case information to contact the appropriate clerk.
Ask exactly where payment must be made
Do not assume every bond can be processed the same way. Ask the clerk or jail for the current payment location and release procedure.
Confirm the inmate, bond and payment procedure using Madison County Detention Center or Kentucky Court of Justice before giving anyone money.
Find the Madison County Court Case
Use the jail search for custody. Use Kentucky Court of Justice when you need court dates, case information, official records or the clerk handling the criminal case.

Call or visit the Madison County Circuit Court Clerk and provide the defendant’s name plus the case number if you know it.

Madison County Detention Center Visitation
Madison County currently sends visitors to GettingOut for inmate visitation. The county does not publish a fixed universal visitation timetable on its own visitation page.
Create or sign in to an account, select the facility and inmate, then view the currently available visitation options.
Save the inmate’s name and identifier from the jail search before starting registration.
Visit schedules can depend on the inmate, housing assignment and facility availability.
Confirm current custody
Search the inmate first so you do not create or fund an account for someone who has already been released or transferred.
Open the county visitation page
Follow Madison County’s “Visit an Inmate” link to the current GettingOut service.
Create or sign in to your account
Complete any identity or account-verification step requested by the visitation provider.
Select the inmate and an available visit
Use the schedule shown for the specific facility and inmate rather than relying on an old timetable from another website.

Madison County Detention Center is currently listed by ConnectNetwork/ViaPath for AdvancePay Phone and PIN Debit services.
AdvancePay lets the outside recipient fund an account used for calls from an incarcerated person.

Fund Communication WalletMadison County links Care-a-Cell for funding an inmate commissary account or placing an approved commissary order.

Sending Mail to a Madison County Inmate
Madison County’s current public jail pages do not provide a detailed inmate-mail policy or a separate published mail-format page.
Have this information ready
- Inmate’s full legal name
- Inmate or booking number, if shown
- Your return name and address
Confirm before sending
- Correct postal address
- Photo and envelope rules
- Publication restrictions
- Legal-mail procedure
This guide intentionally does not reproduce an unverified third-party mail address because the county’s current jail site does not publish one.
How to Check Release or Transfer Status
An inmate disappearing from the Madison County roster does not by itself explain what happened. The person may have been released or moved into another custody system.
Start with Madison County
Recheck the county inmate search and call the detention center if a recent custody change is unclear.
Check the court case
A new court order, sentence, bond action or hearing may help explain the custody change.
Check Kentucky Offender Online Lookup
KOOL is useful when someone may now appear within the Kentucky Department of Corrections offender system.
Register with Kentucky VINE
VINE provides custody information and allows qualifying phone or email notifications about custody-status changes.
Programs and Support Available Inside MCDC
Madison County publishes several rehabilitation and support services that families may not discover from the inmate-search page alone.
MCDC states that it is a Pearson VUE GED testing site, with Kentucky Adult Education classes offered every Friday.
The jail currently lists services on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.
Voices of Hope provides a recovery coach at the detention center seven days a week.
