Where do people arrested in Webster County go?

Webster keeps its own Webster County Detention Center, 141 Stegall St., Dixon, KY 42409, 270-639-7020. Union County prisoners share the building, so state the Webster charge, the legal name and a birthday when calling. The sheriff (270-639-5067) can verify that an arrest took place.

Is there an online list of Dixon inmates?

Yes: the inmate roster. Since Union arrestees appear there too, compare birth date and arresting agency before assuming a match. Newly booked people sometimes don't show right away, so call 270-639-7020 when results are blank. VINELink pushes release alerts, and KYeCourts guest portal lists Dixon hearings.

What happens to juveniles arrested around Dixon?

Youths never enter the Stegall Street adult facility and are kept apart from grown inmates. Juveniles held in secure detention must see a judge within 48 hours, weekends and holidays not counted (KRS 610.265). The Department of Juvenile Justice (502-573-2738) arranges placement, and Webster District Court keeps the case.

Can I obtain a Webster County mugshot?

Hand the detention center a written open records letter identifying the arrestee and the booking day and specifically requesting the mugshot. Newspapers, TV stations and other news media may go through the sheriff for booking images. Immigration agency images require the ICE FOIA page, and the Marshals reveal federal booking photos solely in fugitive cases.

↑ Back to the question list

Might the Dixon jail house federal prisoners?

That depends on the Marshals' housing choices. Webster federal cases go to the U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky, 423 Frederica Street, Owensboro, KY 42301, 270-689-4400, where a magistrate's detention hearing decides custody, and the Marshals then place anyone held. The federal inmate locator lists sentenced federal inmates.

What happens when ICE issues a detainer for a Webster arrestee?

  3. Within that period, ICE must pick up its detainee.
  4. Without pickup, the person goes free.
