How do I search for an inmate in Liberty?

Type the last name into the roster and match the birth date. The list shows people currently held, not those already released. For court dates, check KYeCourts. For release alerts, register with VINELink, which can send a text or a call. Spelling counts, so try a nickname or a maiden name if nothing comes up.

What are the visiting rules at the county jail?

Phone 606-787-9097 for current days, how to sign up, ID rules and whether video visiting is offered. Ask about the rules before bringing children. Leave phones and bags in the car and expect to be searched. More tips are in our visitation guide.

How is a bond posted?

Get the amount from 606-787-9097. Then go to the circuit clerk's office on Courthouse Square (606-787-6510) with a photo ID and cash, a check or a money order. Ask the jail first whether the person has already been released. See our bail guide and money guide.

How do I add money for someone at the jail in Liberty?

Call 606-787-9097 to learn the deposit options, limits and fees. Have the inmate's exact legal name and date of birth ready. The account pays for commissary items like snacks and soap, plus phone time. Jail fees can come out first, so a deposit may be smaller than expected. See our money guide and commissary guide.

Can I call someone in the Casey County Detention Center?

No, inmates make outgoing calls only, using a prepaid account. To fund that account, phone 606-787-9097 for the steps. Conversations are recorded and may end up as evidence, so keep the case off the line. Lawyers can arrange private calls. See our phone guide and messaging guide.

How should I send mail to the jail in Liberty?

Check the address and rules with 606-787-9097 before mailing. Write the inmate's legal name and your return address clearly. Staff inspect incoming mail other than legal letters and return anything not allowed. Many jails limit photos and ban packages, stickers and perfume. Our mail guide covers common rules.

How can I raise a medical issue?

Call 606-787-9097 and ask for a supervisor. Give the person's name and explain the concern, such as a needed medicine. The supervisor can also tell you when property can be picked up.

Is there a warrant search?

A missed court date can appear in the online case file. Call the sheriff at 606-787-6821, or hire counsel to check quietly and plan a voluntary surrender, which can help when bail is set.

Where do juveniles go after an arrest in Casey County?

Not to the adult jail. A held youth must see a judge within 48 hours, leaving out weekends and holidays (KRS 610.265). The Department of Juvenile Justice (502-573-2738) decides placement. The case is heard in Liberty, and parents are told about the hearing.

↑ Back to the question list

Are mugshots public?

Yes. Write the Liberty detention center an open records request for the mugshot. News media may file the same request with the sheriff's office. ICE photos need the ICE FOIA form. Federal photos are a separate matter; the Marshals put those out only when they need help finding a fugitive.

↑ Back to the question list

Does the county jail hold federal prisoners?

Only when the U.S. Marshals arrange a bed there; they pick the jail for each federal detainee. Federal cases from Casey go to the U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky, 241 East Main Avenue, Bowling Green, KY 42101, 270-393-2500, where custody is decided early at a detention hearing. Sentenced federal inmates are listed in the federal inmate locator. Liberty relatives can phone the Bowling Green office of the U.S. Marshals, 270-901-2108.

Can I follow a prison transfer online?

Corrections assigns sentenced people to a prison or to a county jail that holds state inmates. Search the KOOL by name, or see our Kentucky prison list for contact details. Online records can lag behind a move by several days. Deposit rules change once someone reaches prison, so check the new facility's policies.
