Green County Inmate Search

Where are people held after an arrest?

At the Taylor County Detention Center in Campbellsville; the county has no working jail. Call 270-789-1909 to confirm the person is there. Right after an arrest, the sheriff (270-932-5641) or Greensburg police can say whether booking is done and where the person went. The Campbellsville jail is shared with Taylor County's own arrests. The state's weekly report showed 188 people in its 204 beds on Oct. 22, 2026, 80 of them Class D state felons. Green County had about 11,644 residents in 2025, according to the Census Bureau.

How do I arrange a visit?

How do I bond someone out?

Call the jail holding the person (270-789-1909) to confirm the amount. Payment goes to the Greensburg judicial center clerk (270-932-4029); the jail does not take bond. Bring photo ID. Our bail guide and money guide explain further.

How do I fund an inmate's account?

Taylor County Detention Center sets its own rules on deposits, caps and charges; check with it (270-789-1909). Use the legal name from booking. After fees, money pays for commissary snacks, toiletries and phone time. See our money guide and commissary guide.

Can an inmate phone home?

Inmates make outgoing calls through a prepaid account; ask the jail holding them (270-789-1909) how to set one up and what it costs. Every call is taped and could be played for a jury, so don't discuss the charges. Our phone guide and messaging guide cover more.

Yes. Send the booking jail a written open records request with the name and arrest date, and ask for the mugshot. Journalists and news media may also direct such requests to the sheriff.
