The main Grayson County Detention Center on Shaw Station Road in Leitchfield is the primary building. Women stay in a separate building at 300 Shaw Station Road, Leitchfield, KY 42754 (270-971-2072 (Alternative number: 270-259-8406)), and an annex at 203 S.

The jail sets the methods, limits and fees, so ask 270-259-3636 before sending anything. Use the exact legal name from the booking record. After fees, the balance pays for snacks, soap and other store items, plus calls. Our money guide and commissary guide go further.

Yes, inmates can place outgoing calls from a prepaid account, but you can't call in to them. Calls are monitored and may be played in court, so keep the case off the line. Ask 270-259-3636 how to fund an account. Our phone guide and messaging guide cover the options.

The Marshals release a federal booking photo only when hunting a fugitive.

Federal prosecutions from this county go to the U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky, 423 Frederica Street, Owensboro, KY 42301, 270-689-4400; a detention hearing there determines pretrial custody. Search the BOP locator after a federal sentence is imposed.
