Carroll County Detention Center Overview
Carroll County Detention Center is operated by the Carroll County Jailer and the detention center staff. The county government detention page names Daniel Rose as jailer and lists the facility at 800 Clay Street in Carrollton. The jail's own site also identifies the facility as Carroll County Detention Center or Carroll County Regional Detention Center and credits JailTracker as the public roster host.
The facility holds adult local arrestees, pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, Class D prisoners housed locally, controlled-intake or state-transfer inmates, parole violators, and local holds. It is not a state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center. The Kentucky DOC weekly jail report dated 5/23/2024 classified the facility security as secure and listed no federal inmates in the Carroll row.
The detention center home page shows the local jail site and facility image used by the county jail.
That local site links the public roster, bond rules, mail instructions, money deposits, phone purchases, directions, staff, and other facility-specific details.
Carroll County Detention Center Population
The most concrete current population source in the research is the Kentucky Department of Corrections Weekly Jail report dated 5/23/2024. That report lists Carroll County Detention Center with 88 total jail beds and 150 reported population, or 170 percent of listed capacity on that report date. It also breaks the count into 115 secure male inmates and 35 secure female inmates.

Search Carroll Detention Center Inmates
The correct lookup system for this county jail is the Carroll County current inmates page, which loads the JailTracker roster for Carroll County. The county roster is best for current jail custody. It should not be used as a full criminal-history search, and it may not show a person who has not completed booking, has been released, or has been moved to KDOC, BOP, ICE, or another agency.
- Open the official current-inmates page or the direct JailTracker roster.
- Search by last name, then add the first name for a narrower result.
- Complete any captcha and use a modern browser if the app does not load.
- Open the profile to review booking date, arresting agency, charges, bond, holds, and release status.
- Call 502-732-9499 if the person should be in local custody but does not appear.
Carroll Detention Center Contact
The jail information line and records route matter because not every public record is online. The county government page lists the jailer contact, and the jail staff page names Major J Forlizzi as records custodian at the Clay Street address. For arrest reports or incident records created by another agency, requesters may need the sheriff, Carrollton Police Department, Kentucky State Police, or another arresting agency rather than the jail.

Visiting Carroll County Detention Center
No complete public visitation schedule was found in the official jail pages reviewed. The communication page has a visitation-related title but publishes phone and Chirp purchase information instead of visit days, visit lengths, dress code, ID rules, or visitor-list limits. Because the published schedule is missing, visitors should confirm rules directly with the jail before travel.
| Visit Topic | Published Finding | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Regular visit schedule | No official schedule found in current jail pages. | Call 502-732-9499. |
| Attorney visits | Legal access is separate from regular visits. | Use attorney channels and legal-mail rules. |
| Public entry details | No full visitor-entry checklist found. | Confirm ID, property, and timing before arrival. |
| Accessibility and parking | Court building next door publishes accessibility details, but jail-specific rules were not found. | Ask the jail before relying on nearby court information. |
Note: Do not assume the court building's parking or access rules apply to jail visits.
Mail, Phone, Money at Carroll Detention
The jail publishes strict mail and money rules. Standard non-legal friends and family mail must use the scanned-mail address in Highland Heights. Legal mail and money orders go to the Clay Street jail address. Mail must include the inmate name, inmate ID, and sender return address. Prohibited items include stamps, blank envelopes, stationery, cash or checks except money orders, stickers, homemade or musical cards, colored ink, glitter, paint, glue, and other items listed by the jail.
The mail rules page gives the scanned-mail address and legal-mail distinction for Carroll County Detention Center.
Use the scanned address only for ordinary mail, because legal mail sent there and certified mail requiring an inmate signature may be returned.
| Service | Provider or Address | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Standard mail | PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076 | Use inmate name and ID with Carroll County, KY Detention Center. |
| Legal mail and money orders | 800 Clay Street, Carrollton, KY 41008 | Legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence but not read. |
| Canteen cash | Jail office | Cash only, 9 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday. |
| Online canteen | AccessCorrections.com | Credit or debit card payments. |
| Phone and Chirp | Lobby kiosk or inmatesales.com | Kiosk accepts cash or credit/debit according to the jail page. |
Bonding Out of Carroll Detention
The jail's bond page is unusually detailed. It says bond payments must be cash only, and all persons bonding are charged jail fees and a bond fee totaling $125 added to the bond. Some offenses have preset bond. If no preset bond exists, Pretrial Services meets with the inmate within 12 hours of booking and works with the judge to set bond.
| Bond Type | Local Meaning |
|---|---|
| ROR or OR | The person signs a promise to return to court. |
| Surety | A judge-approved person signs and assumes the money risk if court is missed. |
| Unsecured | A money amount exists, but it is not paid before release. |
| Cash | The full cash bond plus jail fees must be paid before release. |
| Partially secured | A judge sets a total amount and a percentage paid in cash. |
| Property | Property or securities may secure release only if a judge authorizes it. |
Programs and Jail Conditions
The jail programs page says classes are provided to support lifestyle changes after release, and some inmates are court ordered to attend. The research identified AA and NA contact Donnie L. Dawes, GED contact Cristina Marsh at JCTC Adult Education, and a religious volunteer program with several local churches. The staff page names Southern Health Partners as contracted medical services and Kellwell Food Management as food-service vendor.
Operational details are local and useful. The medication page says outside medication is not accepted. The handbook says grievances must be written on plain paper and titled "GRIEVANCE." It also says office staff will not pass messages to inmates, phones run from 6:15 AM to midnight, and property left 30 days after release may be donated or destroyed. These rules can change, so facility-specific questions should go to the jail.
