Trigg County Inmate Search

Trigg County arrestees are held at the Christian County Jail in Hopkinsville (270-887-4152), so its inmate roster is what Cadiz families search, verifying the birth date. Mugshot rules follow below, and VINELink and KYeCourts guest portal provide custody alerts and court dates.

1. Where is a person arrested in Trigg County taken?

South to Hopkinsville, at the Christian County Jail, 410 W. 7th Street, Hopkinsville, KY 42240, 270-887-4152, since Trigg operates no jail. That jail also books Christian County arrests, so mention the Cadiz charge, spell out the complete legal name, and give a birthday. The Trigg sheriff (270-522-6014) can verify an arrest happened.

2. Does the Hopkinsville roster include Cadiz arrests?

It does; the inmate roster covers every prisoner there regardless of charging county. You should check the birth date and the agency that made the arrest, which keeps you from mixing up a Christian County namesake with your relative. New bookings sometimes trail, so try 270-887-4152 when results are empty. VINELink issues release notices and KYeCourts guest portal shows Cadiz hearings.
