Bullitt County Detention Center Overview

Bullitt County Detention Center is the central detention facility in the Bullitt County facility map. The county government page lists Bryan Whittaker as Jailer and gives the jail address and phone. The jail website is the public route for Current Inmates, Court Docket, Open Records, inmate services, contact information, and directions. It is a county jail, not a state prison, so most local custody searches should start with the jail's JailTracker roster.

The facility holds a mixed local population: pretrial detainees, people serving county sentences, Class D and other Kentucky DOC-linked inmates housed locally, weekenders, work-release participants, and people with possible federal or immigration detainers. ICE's 2025 287(g) jail-enforcement agreement with Bullitt County means immigration checks may be relevant in some cases, but the jail remains a county detention center.

Bullitt County Detention Center Population

KY DOC weekly jail reporting is the best official source for capacity and count data. On March 26, 2026, the secure Bullitt jail line listed 259 beds and 237 people, including 80 Class D inmates, 11 controlled-intake inmates, 14 parole violators, 1 alternative sentence, and 0 federal inmates. Bullitt JRC was listed separately with 64 beds and 23 people, all non-secure male Class D inmates. The secure jail was 22 people under capacity on that report date.

Look Up Bullitt Detention Inmates

The correct online tool for county custody is the Bullitt County Current Inmates page, which loads the Public Safety Cloud/JailTracker roster. Use KOOL only when the person is sentenced or tracked by Kentucky DOC. Use BOP for sentenced federal inmates and ICE ODLS when immigration custody is possible.

The county site is the better starting point because it links to the roster, court docket, inmate services, and open-records process from one official source.

Bullitt County Detention Address

The jail publishes both a contact page and a county-government office listing. The jail contact page gives the street address, phone, fax, and general email. The county listing also gives a PO Box reference and a booking desk fax. For custody status, call the jail. For copies of records, use the written open-records process rather than sending a status question by email.

Bullitt County Jail Visits

The jail's inmate-services page says in-person visits are suspended until further notice. Lobby kiosk visitation is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. through Combined Public Communications. The page does not publish a full remote video schedule, dress code, attorney-visit schedule, or professional-visit rule set, so visitors should call before relying on any visit option.

Bullitt County Jail Mail and Money

Mail must use a plain envelope with no markings except the address and stamp. All mail is subject to inspection except privileged mail. Inmates may receive four pictures per month, and photos must be up to 4x6 on photo paper. Visitor property drop-offs are not accepted, so mail and approved deposit channels are the safer routes for support.

Bullitt County Jail Bonding

Bond rules are unusually specific for Bullitt County Detention Center. Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., all bonds must be made at the Bullitt County Judicial Center. On weekends, after hours, and when the Judicial Center is closed, bonds may be made at the detention center. The public uses door 118, located to the right of the two large garage doors.

The jail does not conduct releases or bonding during 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11 a.m.-12 p.m., or 3-5 p.m. Local bond types include personal recognizance, unsecured or surety bonds, partially secured bonds, cash bonds, and bonds over $10,000 or property bonds that must be handled through the clerk's office depending on the case.

Bullitt Detention Open Records

The detention center open-records page gives the local request rules. Requests must be in writing, typed or legibly printed, signed, and specific enough to identify the record. For inmate records, include the full name and date of birth. Email and mail are accepted at any time, and hand delivery is accepted during public business hours, Monday through Friday, 0800-1600, excluding holidays.

Bullitt County Booking and Intake

Official Bullitt sources do not publish a full intake workflow, but jail records and service pages show the local path. A person arrested in Bullitt County is taken to the detention center for intake unless another agency or court order routes the person elsewhere. Intake normally includes identity checks, property handling, search, fingerprints, booking photo, medical screening, classification, and entry into the jail-management system.

Several local rules affect people who enter custody. Medical services are available 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Weekenders must pay all fees in full at booking. Circuit Work Release and District Work Release fees are paid weekly with no exceptions. The jail does not accept property from visitors.

Bullitt County Detention Programs

The jail's program list is specific. It includes GED and adult education, National Career Readiness Certification, Substance Abuse Program, Women's SAP, AA/NA, religious services, Reach Program, Bullitt County Extension Office classes, Jefferson Community & Technical College/Bullitt Adult Education, and Kentucky Career Training Center/Kentuckiana Works. These programs fit a jail population that includes pretrial detainees, sentenced local inmates, Class D inmates, work-release participants, and weekenders.

Official sources did not publish a grievance procedure, mental-health request process, accreditation certificate, ACA status, or disciplinary-policy summary in the pages reviewed. Kentucky jail standards and medical-care duties are addressed by KRS 441.045 and KRS 441.055.
