Letcher County Inmate Roster
The official Letcher County Jail site identifies Letcher County Jail at 156 Main Street, Whitesburg, Kentucky, with phone 606-633-5163. The county officials page lists Jailer Bert Slone and states the jailer is open 24 hours. Kentucky county jailers have custody, rule, and charge of the county jail and the persons held there, plus duties involving prisoner transport, jail budget, reports, court services, jail canteen, bail bond preparation, work or educational release for misdemeanants, and supervision of deputies.
The local jail roster is associated with the Current Inmates - Letcher County Jail page. Official indexed text exposed an inmate search first-name field and a notice that questions about site content should be directed to the facility. The research did not capture a stable official profile sample for a Letcher inmate, so fields such as mugshot, booking number, bond, housing unit, or release date should not be promised unless the live roster confirms them at the time of use.
Use the county roster for current local jail custody. Use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup for state prison, probation, parole, and DOC supervision records. Use VINE for custody notifications, and use the Circuit Court Clerk or KCOJ systems for charges and court dates after booking.
Use the Letcher County Jail Roster
The roster route is narrow but useful. It is designed for current Letcher County Jail custody, not every arrest in county history. If the person is not shown, the person may have been released, transferred, cited and released, held in another county, moved to state custody, or listed under a different name spelling.
- Open the official Letcher County Jail current-inmate roster linked from the jail access channel.
- Enter the name information available. The captured public text confirms a First Name search field.
- Review any roster result carefully and avoid assuming details not shown in the official entry.
- Call the jail at 606-633-5163 when the roster result is unclear or time-sensitive.
- Use CourtNet, the docket portal, or the Circuit Court Clerk to verify court charges, hearings, bond conditions, and case disposition.
For custody updates after release, transfer, escape, or parole hearing, Kentucky DOC describes VINE as a notification system that covers county jails, prisons, mental health facilities, and juvenile detention centers. The VINE phone number in the research is 1-800-511-1670.
Letcher County Inmate Search Fields
The Letcher County jail roster field capture was partial. That limit should be stated plainly because adding typical jail fields would create unsupported content. The confirmed official field inventory is small, but the facility phone line gives a direct way to verify current custody and roster content.
| Field label | Type | Required | Options or notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Unspecified | Exposed in indexed text for Current Inmates - Letcher County Jail. |
| Site content questions | Notice | Not applicable | The roster text directs questions about site content to the facility. |
When a search is urgent, call the jail rather than relying on refresh timing. A current roster may lag behind intake, release, transport, court action, or data-entry changes.
Letcher County Inmate Record Fields
A stable individual Letcher County inmate profile was not captured from official text. The field inventory below separates confirmed county roster information from fallback sources. It is more accurate to say what was found than to import fields from unofficial jail directories. For court-related details, the better source is the court case record rather than the jail profile.
| Field | What it shows or how to verify |
|---|---|
| Name search | Confirmed partial roster access begins with at least first-name search text. |
| Current custody | Verify through the roster and jail phone because live profile fields were not fully captured. |
| Booking number | Not captured in official text; ask jail whether one is required for mail or visits. |
| Charges | Use CourtNet, docket search, or Circuit Court Clerk for court charges after booking. |
| Bond | Verify with jail or Circuit Court Clerk because bond fields were not captured on the roster. |
| Court date | Use KCOJ docket search or clerk verification. |
| Release or transfer | Use jail contact, VINE notifications, or KOOL if the person enters state custody. |
The official DOC KOOL page is the successful manifest source for statewide inmate and offender fallback information.
KOOL is useful after a person leaves local jail for state custody or supervision, but it is not a substitute for the live Letcher County Jail roster.
Kentucky KOOL for Letcher County
Kentucky KOOL is the statewide offender lookup run by the Department of Corrections. It covers offender information tied to state custody or community supervision, including prison, probation, parole, and absconder-style results. The DOC disclaimer says entries and updates are made daily, but the department does not guarantee accuracy of all information and offender data newer than 120 days may not be finalized.
| KOOL field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search Offenders with Photos Only | Checkbox | Optional | Limits results to photo records. |
| Search Aliases | Checkbox | Optional | Includes aliases. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | DOC says enter as little information as needed. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Optional name field. |
| Middle Name | Text | Optional | Optional name field. |
| Results Sort Order | Dropdown | Optional | Observed options include name, PID, location and PID, or location and name. |
| Results per page | Pagination | Optional | Observed page sizes include 10, 20, 40, 50, 80, 100, and 990. |
| KOOL result field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Offender Name | Name shown in official indexed result rows. |
| Current Location | State facility, district office, or other DOC-linked location. |
| PID or DOC number | State offender identifier. |
| Offense Counts | Number of listed offense entries. |
| Offense Category | Examples include dangerous drugs, burglary, public order crimes, stolen property, assault, weapon offenses, and unknown. |
| Status | Observed examples include absconded status for community supervision. |
| Photos | Searchable by photo filter, but no stable detail-page visual sample was captured. |
KOOL should be used after local custody is no longer the main question. If a person was just arrested in Letcher County, call the jail or use the jail roster first.
Letcher County Jail Contact
The research located one county jail facility for this page. No official capacity number was located in the accessible official pages reviewed, so capacity should not be invented. The facility address and phone are confirmed by the official jail site and county official pages.
Letcher County Jail
156 Main Street
Whitesburg, KY 41858
606-633-5163
County page lists the jailer as open 24 hours.
For court charges, hearing dates, certified copies, or bond paperwork in the court file, contact the Circuit Court Clerk rather than treating the jail as the court record custodian. The jail can answer custody and facility questions; the court file controls case status.
Letcher County Booking Process
Arrests by the sheriff, city police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency may lead to transport to jail for booking if the person is not cited and released. During booking, the jail takes custody under the jailer's duties. The research does not provide a Letcher-specific intake checklist, so do not add unsupported items such as fingerprints, mugshots, medical screening, property inventory, or housing classification unless confirmed by a later official source.
District Court handles arraignments and felony probable-cause hearings. Pretrial Services operates statewide in all 120 Kentucky counties, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is based on the presumption of innocence and reasonable bail. Bond and court costs route through the Circuit Court Clerk when court money is posted or paid. Court dates and charge details should be verified with KCOJ systems or the clerk.
A booking is not the same as a conviction. A jail entry may reflect an allegation, warrant, hold, or pending case, while the final court record shows disposition and sentence after the case is resolved.
Letcher County Visitation and Mail
Official Letcher County visitation, mail, commissary, money deposit, and phone-provider pages were not exposed in the official pages reviewed. The jail site confirms the address and phone, but the accessible official text did not publish a full visitation schedule, remote video provider, commissary vendor, mail-scanning policy, dress code, visitor approval rule, money kiosk, or phone-call pricing. Third-party jail directories should not be used to fill those gaps.
| Topic | Official Letcher detail located | Use this route |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not located | Call 606-633-5163 before travel. |
| Video visitation provider | Not located | Do not name a provider without official confirmation. |
| Mail rules | Not located | Ask the jail about inmate name, booking number, return address, and allowed mail type. |
| Money deposits | Vendor not published | Ask whether deposits use lobby kiosk, online vendor, phone vendor, money order, or cashier's check. |
| Commissary | Jailer duties include jail canteen | No vendor or pricing was posted in accessible official text. |
| Attorney visitation | Not located | Attorneys should call the facility or court. |
| Emergency changes | Not located | Call the jail before visiting because lockdowns or housing needs may change access. |
Call the jail before visiting or sending money, and ask whether visits are in person, video, or suspended for housing or security reasons. Ask about government ID, approved visitor lists, minors, dress code, prohibited items, attorney visits, mail format, phone/video provider, commissary deadlines, and refund rules.
