Boyd County Jail Roster Overview
The official local jail source is the Boyd County Detention Center website, which links a "Current Inmates" path to the Cadmus inmate portal. The detention center is the county jail for pretrial inmates, sentenced county inmates, and some state inmates held for the Kentucky Department of Corrections. It is not the same source as KCOJ court case search. A roster entry may help confirm custody, but the court charge record and final disposition remain court records.
The county page lists Jailer William Hensley and gives the detention center address as 209 28th Street, Catlettsburg. The jail website lists Boyd County Detention Center, 209 28th St., P.O. Box 455, Catlettsburg, phone 606-739-4224, email info@boydcountyjail.com, and administrative hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The county page also lists phone 606-739-4244.
The main jail source appears in the screenshot from the Boyd County Detention Center website.
The jail website is the starting point for the current roster, bonds, visitation, commissary, mail, and jail open-records pages.
How to Use Boyd County Inmate Search
The official current-inmate portal is the Cadmus Inmate Portal for Boyd County KY Jail. Static research confirmed that the portal is protected by Google reCAPTCHA before inmate results are visible. That means the public entry page was verified, but the downstream search fields and profile fields were not visible without live interaction.
- Open the jail website and use the current-inmate link, or go directly to the Cadmus inmate portal.
- Complete the Google reCAPTCHA shown before the roster interface.
- Use the visible roster controls after access is granted. Do not assume fields that are not shown before the CAPTCHA.
- If the roster does not answer the custody question, call 606-739-4224 or 606-739-4244.
- For copies of jail records, use the detention center open-records process rather than the court clerk.
For court charge status after an arrest, use KCOJ case channels or the Boyd Circuit Court Clerk. The custody roster may point to a recent booking, but the full prosecution record belongs with the court case file.
Boyd County Inmate Search Fields
The research did not locate a static field list behind the Cadmus CAPTCHA. The table therefore reports only verified pre-access controls and the documented access limit. This is important because some jail roster pages expose mugshots, charges, booking numbers, bond fields, or housing units, but those fields were not visible in the inspected Boyd portal source.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google reCAPTCHA | CAPTCHA | Yes | Required before live roster results are accessible. |
| Inmate search fields | Not visible in static inspection | Unknown | The official portal blocks the result interface behind CAPTCHA. |
| Results fields | Not visible in static inspection | Not applicable | No official static list of profile fields was found. |
Note: Use the jail phone line when an immediate custody answer matters and the online CAPTCHA or roster is unavailable.
What Boyd County Inmate Records Show
Because the live Cadmus results were not visible in static inspection, the safest field inventory separates verified sources from likely but unconfirmed roster details. The jail can answer current-custody questions. The court clerk and KCOJ systems answer court-charge and case-status questions. State systems cover sentenced offenders, notifications, and sex-offender registration.
| Field or Topic | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Current county custody | Use the Cadmus portal or call the Boyd County Detention Center. |
| Booking details | May be available through jail channels, but exact public profile fields were not visible before CAPTCHA. |
| Charges after arrest | Check jail information for booking context and court records for filed charges. |
| Bond amount | Call the jail before paying. Bonds over $10,000 route to the Circuit Clerk. |
| Sentenced state offender status | Use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup for prison or supervision information. |
| Release notifications | Use Kentucky VINELink or 1-800-511-1670 for custody notifications. |
Boyd County Jail Facility
Boyd County's researched local inmate source is one county detention center. The jail website says the facility has 206 beds, the original jail opened in 1991, and an addition opened in 2006. The county detention page and the jail website use slightly different phone numbers, so both are useful: the jail website lists 606-739-4224, while the county page lists 606-739-4244.
Boyd County Detention Center
209 28th Street
P.O. Box 455
Catlettsburg, KY 41129
606-739-4224
Administrative hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
The official contact details are shown in the screenshot from the Boyd County jail contact page.
The contact page is the practical fallback when the online jail roster does not provide enough current information.
Boyd County Inmate Bonds
Bond questions are tied to custody and court records. The jail bond page says newly booked inmates may make reasonable local calls or collect long-distance calls to attorneys and family. For bond payment, the jail accepts cash bonds under $10,000 at all times, but the amount and method should be confirmed by phone before traveling. Bonds over $10,000 must be paid at the Boyd Circuit Clerk's Office at the Judicial Center.
| Bond Item | Boyd County Rule |
|---|---|
| Cash bonds under $10,000 | Accepted by the jail 24/7 after amount and method are confirmed. |
| Bonds over $10,000 | Paid at the Boyd Circuit Clerk's Office. |
| Jail phone for bond questions | 606-739-4224. |
| Court case and warrant questions | Ask the Circuit Court Clerk when the bond ties to a court order. |
Boyd County Inmate Visitation
Boyd County Detention Center does not offer in-person visitation. Video visits are available daily through GTL and GettingOut. Inmates receive 30 minutes of free video visitation each week, with free time resetting Sunday evening. After the free weekly time, visits cost $0.25 per minute. Visitors who do not have device access may use a facility tablet during weekday administrative hours, excluding holidays.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-person | Not available | Not applicable | The jail states there is no in-person visitation. |
| Remote video | Daily 0800-2300 | 30 minutes free weekly, then $0.25 per minute | Through GTL/GettingOut. Free time resets Sunday evening. |
| Facility tablet | Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., excluding holidays | Not separately stated | Limited option when a visitor lacks device access. |
Mail, Calls, and Commissary
Housing-unit phone access runs from 0800 to 2300 unless the inmate is in disciplinary isolation. Harassing-call issues use the phone system's block prompt or Lt. Cooper at 606-739-4224. Personal mail is digitally delivered through tablets and goes to a processing address in Phoenix, Maryland. Legal mail and money orders go directly to the detention center at P.O. Box 455, Catlettsburg.
Commissary deposits are available online, by phone, or at a kiosk outside the main lobby entrance. The jail identifies Kelwell Commissary as the provider and lists jailfunds.com and correctpay.com for online deposits. Deposits require a credit or debit card, the inmate name, and the location "Boyd County Detention Center." The listed maximum deposit is $300, with a $3.95 transaction fee and a 5% credit-card fee.
| Service | Rule or Amount |
|---|---|
| Phone access | 0800-2300 for housing units unless disciplinary isolation applies. |
| Commissary provider | Kelwell Commissary. |
| Online deposits | JailFunds or CorrectPay. |
| Phone deposits | 1-855-836-3364. |
| Maximum deposit | $300. |
| Care packages | Caracell. |
Boyd County Jail Open Records
Detention center records have their own request route. The BCDC custodian of records is Major Ryan Mitchell, and the deputy custodian is Annita Hensley. The official jail open-records page directs requests to openrecordsbcdc@boydcountyky.gov or by mail to Open Records Request, Attention: Major Ryan Mitchell, 209 28th Street, Catlettsburg, KY 41129.
Jail open records are not the same as court case records. A jail request may be the right path for custody, booking, facility, or detention-center records. Official court copies, dispositions, and case-file documents route to the Circuit Court Clerk. Boyd County's general NextRequest portal is used for county agency records, while the detention center page directs jail records through BCDC.
This split also matters for timing. A new booking can exist before a court docket is easy to find, and a court case can remain public after a person has been released from jail. When a search needs both sides, confirm custody with the detention center and confirm the charge status with the court clerk or KCOJ records. That keeps a current jail record from being mistaken for a final court outcome.
Statewide Inmate and Registry Searches
Boyd County inmate records should not be confused with state prison, supervision, registry, or notification records. Kentucky DOC KOOL information and the Kentucky Online Offender Lookup cover sentenced offenders and supervision records. The research notes that KOOL data newer than 120 days may not be finalized.
The Kentucky DOC source appears in the screenshot from Kentucky Online Offender Lookup information.
KOOL is useful when the person is in state custody or supervision rather than current Boyd County jail custody.
For release or transfer alerts, use Kentucky VINELink or call 1-800-511-1670. For registered sex offenders, use the Kentucky State Police sex offender registry information page or the registry portal at kspsor.state.ky.us. These systems serve different purposes and should not be used as proof of a current Boyd jail booking.
The registry source is shown in the screenshot from the Kentucky State Police sex offender registry page.
The registry is a public safety system for registered offenders, not a general jail roster or court-charge search.
