Webster County Detention Center Overview

Webster County Detention Center, also called Webster County Jail on the older jail site, is operated through the elected Webster County Jailer and Webster County Fiscal Court structure. The Webster County Fiscal Court detention page names Jailer Greg Sauls and states that the jailer fulfills the county duty to incarcerate people arrested, sentenced, or held by order of Webster County District and Circuit Courts. That detail matters because the jail is not described in the official sources as a sheriff-run jail division. Sheriff records and dispatch have their own role, but the jail custody path runs through the jailer and detention center.

The jail campus is at 141 Stegal St., Dixon, KY 42409. The county page spells the street as Stegall, while the jail directions page and map links use Stegal. The jail directions page also lists P.O. Box 300, Dixon, KY 42409, phone 270-639-7032, and fax 270-639-7033. The Fiscal Court page lists phone 270-639-7020. Both phone numbers should be treated as official contact paths for Webster County Detention Center custody questions, visit checks, money issues, and property approval.

The county detention page shows the official public profile for the jail and its capacity statement. The captured source is available from the Fiscal Court detention center page.

Webster County Detention Center Capacity

Capacity figures for Webster County Detention Center need careful wording because the county and the Kentucky Department of Corrections report the campus in different ways. Webster County Fiscal Court says the detention center can house up to 269 inmates. The KDOC weekly jail report dated January 15, 2026 lists a separate secure Webster line with 194 total jail beds and 137 reported inmates. KDOC also lists Webster RCC as a separate non-secure reporting line, so the secure jail number is not the same thing as the full county campus capacity statement.

For the secure Webster jail line, KDOC reported 49 Class D inmates, 10 community-custody eligible inmates, 12 controlled-intake inmates, 4 parole violators, and 0 federal inmates. The same weekly report placed the secure jail 57 beds under capacity at 71 percent. Class D in Kentucky usually refers to lower-level felony inmates who may be held locally or assigned to local work programs. Controlled intake means KDOC is managing state-prison intake while some sentenced inmates remain in local custody.

Webster County Detention Center Lookup

Current Webster County Detention Center inmates are searched through the jail's Current Inmates frame and the direct JailTracker application. The official county jail frame is at Webster County Current Inmates. The main frame loads the direct Webster County JailTracker roster, a public-safety-cloud.com application. The roster is the right first stop for current county custody, recent jail records when released-search tools are exposed, and local booking details.

The roster does not replace every custody system. A person sentenced into Kentucky Department of Corrections custody may appear in Kentucky Online Offender Lookup instead of Webster JailTracker. A federal sentenced prisoner is searched through the BOP inmate locator. An immigration detainee is searched through the ICE detainee locator. Kentucky VINELink is useful for custody notifications, but it is not a full criminal-history report.

1. Open the Webster current-inmates frame or the direct JailTracker roster.
2. Allow JavaScript and complete the captcha if the app presents one.
3. Search by last name, then add first name if the result set is broad.
4. Use released-in-last-days or search-type controls if they are visible.
5. Open the person record and confirm the facility, charges, bond fields, holds, and release status.

The jail roster source can be reached through the county frame. The captured source is the official current-inmates frame.

For a broader custody path and roster field details, the county record page describes the same lookup chain in more depth at Webster County jail inmate records.

Webster County Detention Center Contact

Call the detention center before relying on a roster entry for travel, bond, visit, or property decisions. JailTracker can show a custody record, but staff confirm whether the person is still at Webster County Detention Center, whether a hold blocks release, and whether a visit block has changed. The fax number is useful for offices and records routing, but family custody checks should start with the phone lines.

Webster County Detention Center Visits

Webster County Detention Center visitation is posted as one 15-minute non-contact visit each week. The official visitation page separates female, male, and protective-custody blocks for county and state inmates at WCDC. Adults must bring government-issued identification. Visitors under 18 must be with an adult. Cell phones and audio or video recording devices are not allowed outside vehicles on WCDC premises. All visitors are subject to search, modest dress is required, and face masks are required but not supplied by the jail.

The posted schedule and rules are shown on the official Webster visitation page.

Webster County Detention Center Money

Money and property rules at Webster County Detention Center are more specific than many county jail pages. Funds may be dropped off from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday only. Staff do not accept money at other times. After-hours deposits use the lobby kiosk. Mailed money orders must be payable to Webster County Detention Center, signed by the purchaser, and include the inmate's name in the memo line. Personal checks are destroyed when received.

Property starts with the inmate, not the sender. The inmate must submit a property request, approval must be granted before ordering, and items must come directly from a verifiable vendor. Packages are inspected. County inmates have a 14-day window from booking for property to be sent in. Letters, cards, and photos cannot have stickers, glitter, sprayed scent, perfume, or cologne. Stamps and envelopes are not allowed. Books must come from a legitimate seller, may not be hardback, and must have a glued spine.

Webster County Jail Records

Booking at Webster County Detention Center creates the local jail record. Official sources do not publish a complete intake manual, but the jail and court records support the standard local path. After arrest by a local agency, sheriff, city police, or Kentucky State Police, the person is taken to the detention center for intake if the matter belongs in the Webster County jail. Intake identifies the person, logs the arresting agency and charges, handles property, creates the booking record, and routes the person to the proper custody status.

If no bond is set at booking, the jail bond page says the person meets with Pre-Trial services within 12 hours. Pre-Trial interviews the person and works with local judges to establish bonds. Jails do not set bonds. That explains why a new Webster County Detention Center roster record may show charges before bond fields are complete. Court filings may later change the charge language after prosecutor review, so JailTracker, the court clerk, and KYeCourts can show different stages of the same case.

Webster County Detention Center Programs

Official Webster County sources document several jail programs. The Fiscal Court page says the detention center provides services meant to help reentry to the community, including GED classes, AA, Moral Reconation Therapy, NCRC classes, Class D Work Program, and religious services. The jail programs page adds that religious services are offered several nights each week and on Sunday morning, that all programs and services are voluntary, and that dedicated volunteers help provide the programming.

Reading access is also documented. The jail provides a library and allows books sent through legitimate online sellers such as Amazon, Books-A-Million, or Thrift Books. Inmates may keep three books in property totes or the cell and five in personal property stored in the facility property room. Extra books are donated to the detention-center library. The official sources did not locate a local accreditation page, PREA policy, grievance procedure, or health-care vendor for Webster County Detention Center.
