Female Facility Inmate Housing
The Grayson County Detention Center contact page lists the Female Facility as a separate public facility from the main and annex buildings. Research identifies it as secure county jail female housing for people assigned by jail classification. The facility may hold female county, state, federal, and ICE detainees when the jail's classification process places them there.
The female facility should not be treated as a separate public roster. The county's public custody list is the CPC JMS current booked inmate roster. The female facility is a building or custody assignment within the local jail system. That distinction is important because the public roster may show a current booking, charges, age, photo, and details, but it does not reliably function as a housing-unit directory or an up-to-date building assignment screen.
The official contact source shows the female facility in the jail's building list. It is shown here from the Grayson County Detention Center contact page.
Because the same source lists the main, female, and annex facilities together, calls should go to the number tied to the assigned building.
Female Facility Custody Statistics
KDOC weekly jail reports do not publish a separate official bed count for the Grayson County Detention Center Female Facility in the research located. They do, however, report secure female population under the main Grayson jail line. On October 31, 2024, KDOC listed 129 secure female inmates, with 55 federal inmates inside the secure female line. Later excerpts in 2025 and 2026 show secure female counts over 200 in some weeks.
Those figures support the female facility's role as a major secure housing component, but they should not be converted into a building capacity. The research did not locate an official separate bed number for the female building. When a family member needs to know whether a person is physically assigned to the female facility, the practical route is to confirm through the facility phone after checking the roster.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Secure female population | 129 | KDOC Weekly Jail Report, 10/31/2024 |
| Federal within secure female line | 55 | KDOC Weekly Jail Report, 10/31/2024 |
| Later secure female snippets | Over 200 in some weeks | KDOC 2025 and 2026 weekly report excerpts |
| Separate female facility capacity | Not located | Research found no separate official bed count |
Search Female Facility Inmates
Use the detention center inmate-listing page or the CPC JMS roster for a current female inmate in Grayson County custody. The roster lists currently booked inmates and includes a Details button, mugshot thumbnail, name fields, and age. It does not present a public text search box, so browsing and browser find are more accurate descriptions than "search by form."
- Open the CPC JMS roster through the official detention center inmate-listing page.
- Review the current inmate rows by last name or use browser find for the person's name.
- Open Details and compare the profile data, photo, and charge table against known identifying details.
- Call the female facility if the person appears current but housing, visitation, or phone access needs confirmation.
For a woman no longer listed on the county roster, use the same fallback chain that applies to the main jail. KDOC KOOL is the correct route after movement into state custody or supervision. The BOP locator applies to federal prison custody, while ICE ODLS applies to immigration custody. VINELink can help with custody notifications where Kentucky coverage applies.
| Roster Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Details | Opens the person-specific public profile. |
| Mugshot thumbnail | Shows the booking photo when available, with a fallback if no image loads. |
| Name and age | Identifies the current roster row. |
| Profile details | Shows physical descriptors such as height, weight, sex, and age. |
| Charges | Shows offense, description, bond amount, date, and disposition. |
Female Facility Contact
The female facility has its own public phone number. Use it for building-specific questions after checking current custody on the roster. Public counter hours were not found as a separate published schedule, so a call should come before a visit, property trip, or mail-sensitive question. For arrest records, court dates, and bond type, the jail roster and court clerk may both be needed.
Grayson County Detention Center Female Facility
300 Shaw Station Road
Leitchfield, KY 42754
(270) 971-2072
Secure female housing facility in the Grayson County jail system.
The female facility sits on the same Shaw Station Road jail campus area as the main facility. Visitors should confirm the correct entrance and building before travel. The research did not locate separate parking, locker, or ADA entrance rules for the female facility.
Female Facility Visitation
The published female facility visitation schedule matches the main facility schedule for county, state, and federal categories. County and state visits are on Wednesday and Saturday. Federal visits are on Friday and Sunday. Each published visit window is short, so visitors should confirm custody, approval, ID requirements, and whether the person remains assigned to the female facility before arriving.
| Category | Days | Hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| County and state visits | Wednesday and Saturday | 8:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m.; 12:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m. CST | Published 15-minute visits. |
| Federal visits | Friday and Sunday | 8:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m.; 12:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m. CST | Use federal days for federal custody. |
| Attorney visits | Monday-Sunday | Not limited to public schedule | Video conference by email; no same-day video conferences. |
Attorney video conference users must email the jail and provide the required identifying material for first-time setup, including driver's license, bar card, and affiliated agency. Public visits are separate from attorney access. A detainer, quarantine, discipline, transfer, or housing change can affect visits even when the roster still shows the person in current custody.
Female Facility Mail and Money
Female facility mail, money, property, and phone rules appear to be the detention center's system-wide rules unless jail staff says otherwise. The official services page lists JailATM, CPC phone service, inmate fees, and attorney visit practices. The official property page gives the drop-off window, the intake deadline, and the items allowed for jail property.
| Service | Rule or Provider | Female Facility Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Non-legal mail opened and searched | No paper, stamps, envelopes, pens, or pencils by mail. | |
| Money | JailATM and postal money orders | Money orders should be marked "Inmate Accounts" with no other mail. |
| Phone | Combined Public Communications | Phone questions go to 1 (877) 570-4268. |
| Property | Bonding window | Accepted for 14 days after confinement, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. CST. |
| Account debt | Jail fee practice | Up to 50% may be taken from deposits for prior debt. |
Allowed clothing and property are narrow. The research lists a plain wedding band, limited photos, white T-shirts, white socks, white underwear, and white thermals, with extra items for certain state inmates in Red Pod. Unauthorized content, questionable mail, and unclaimed excess property can be destroyed under the posted rules.
The official property rules are shown here from the detention center allowable items page.
The property source is especially important for the female facility because clothing and mail rules can affect what family may send or drop off after intake.
Female Facility Intake Assignment
A person arrested in Grayson County may be booked into the detention center system first, then classified for secure female housing if the jail assigns her to the female facility. The local booking outputs include identity entry, property inventory, a booking photo, charge and bond entry, physical descriptors, and a public roster update if the person remains in current custody. The property rules refer to an inmate intake property data form, confirming that property is inventoried at intake.
Classification is the jail's housing decision. It can account for sex, medical needs, security, warrants, detainers, federal or ICE status, and whether a person is pretrial, sentenced, or awaiting transfer. The public roster does not replace that housing decision. A roster row can confirm current custody and charges, while the female facility phone can confirm building assignment, visit schedule, and property handling for that inmate.
Note: Current custody on CPC JMS does not always prove a person is still assigned to the female building.
Female Facility Programs and Conditions
The jail programs page describes GED support through the Grayson County Board of Education and WorkKeys for people who have already met high school or GED requirements. The research does not split those programs by male and female building, so program access for a female inmate should be confirmed through staff. Eligibility can depend on classification, discipline, federal status, length of stay, and whether the person is awaiting transfer.
Phone access is treated as part of the jail's local conditions. Newly admitted inmates generally receive reasonable access to a local or collect long-distance call to an attorney or family member as soon as practical, often within one hour. In-cell telephone service is available in permanent housing units except isolation. Calls may be monitored and recorded, and privileges can be suspended for rule violations. Medical fees and property deadlines also apply across the system.
For population context across the county system, the Grayson County inmate population page places the female secure count beside the main jail, JRC, and RCC lines.
