Bracken County Jail Roster
Bracken County does not publish a standalone official county jail roster in the official pages reviewed for this build. The key custody finding is regional: the Mason County Detention Center states that it houses inmates for Mason, Bracken, Fleming, and Lewis Counties. That makes Mason the main public custody source for a person arrested in Bracken County and placed in jail.
The Mason County Detention Center went into operation in 1990 and is described by Mason County as a full-service jail. It houses state inmates as well as regional county inmates. Its official county page links to the Mason detention website, Kentucky Court Dockets, Kentucky Court of Justice, KOOL, Kentucky State Police, and VINE. Those links show the correct split between local jail custody, court dates, state offender records, and custody notification.
The official Mason current-inmates page is the roster channel for Bracken detainees, but the research pass found intermittent availability from the roster URL. If the roster fails to load, call Mason Detention at 606-564-3621. If the question is about arrest, transfer, or local law-enforcement action before booking, call the Bracken County Sheriff at 606-735-3233.
Use the Bracken County Roster
The official local custody path is a sequence, not one database. Start with the Mason County Regional Detention Center current-inmates page for local and regional custody. Move to KOOL only when the person may be in Kentucky Department of Corrections custody. Use VINE for alerts rather than as a substitute for the jail roster.
- Open the Mason County Regional Detention Center current-inmates page linked from the official Mason detention source.
- Search by the person's booking name if the roster is available, allowing for middle initials, aliases, and spelling changes.
- If no result appears, call Mason Detention and ask whether the person is in intake, released, transferred, or booked under a different name.
- Check Bracken District or Circuit dockets for public hearing dates if the arrest produced a court case.
- Use KOOL if the person has left local jail for state prison or other DOC custody.
- Use VINE to request custody notifications when the person is in a covered custody system.
For a new arrest, timing matters. A person can be in transport, intake, medical screening, court, or release processing before a public roster entry appears. Names can also be entered differently from how family members spell them.
Bracken County Inmate Search Fields
The Mason roster field set could not be safely confirmed from an opened sample profile because the official roster returned an intermittent gateway error during research. KOOL, the statewide Kentucky Department of Corrections offender search, did provide official field information. KOOL is useful for sentenced offenders, but it is not the same thing as the Mason local jail roster.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search Offenders with Photos Only | Checkbox | Optional | Limits KOOL results to offender records with photos. |
| Search Aliases | Checkbox | Optional | Includes alias names in the KOOL search. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional search field | Search by offender last name. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Narrows the state offender search. |
| Middle Name | Text | Optional | Helpful when common names return multiple matches. |
| Results Sort Order | Dropdown | Optional | Visible example is Last Name, First Name. |
The KOOL table should not be read as a Mason roster table. It documents a statewide search tool. For a recent Bracken County arrest, Mason Detention remains the facility contact and roster source.
Bracken County Inmate Profile Limits
No Mason inmate profile sample was opened from the official roster during the research pass, so specific roster fields cannot be promised. The safest approach is to use the roster as the official channel, then call Mason Detention for details not shown or when the page is unavailable. Do not rely on third-party jail pages for a Bracken County custody decision.
| Possible Custody Detail | How to Confirm It |
|---|---|
| Custody status | Use the Mason roster if available, then call 606-564-3621 for confirmation. |
| Booking name | Confirm spelling with Mason Detention, especially when aliases or initials may be used. |
| Booking date | Ask the jail if the roster is delayed or the person is still in intake. |
| Charges or holds | Use court records for filed charges and jail contact for active holds or custody status. |
| Bond or release status | Confirm with the jail and the Bracken court clerk when a court order is involved. |
| Court date | Use KCOJ dockets or the Bracken Circuit Court Clerk for public hearing information. |
Booking information and court charge records can overlap, but they are not the same file. Booking data reflects custody. Court records reflect filings, hearings, pleas, disposition, fines, and sentencing.
Bracken County Inmate Facilities
Mason County Detention Center is the central facility for Bracken County inmate custody located in the official research. The Bracken County Sheriff and Bracken County Jailer remain useful local contacts for arrest, transfer, jailer, or county-level questions, but the regional jail houses Bracken inmates.

The official Mason detention page is the source for the regional jail role, address, phone, hours, and program details.
This regional facility detail is the key reason Bracken County inmate records often require a Mason County custody search instead of a Bracken-only roster.
Bracken County Jail Schedule
Official visitation, mail, commissary, money-deposit, and phone-vendor rules were not located in Bracken County pages. Because Mason houses Bracken inmates, the confirmed official schedule is the Mason facility operation and administrative-office schedule, not a visitor calendar. Confirm current visit, mail, property, and deposit rules before traveling or sending items.
| Function | Official Details |
|---|---|
| Jail operation | Jail is open 24/7. |
| Administrative office Monday-Thursday | 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. |
| Administrative office Friday | 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. |
| Weekends | Office closed weekends. |
| Facility address | 702 US 68, Maysville, KY 41056. |
| Phone / fax | 606-564-3621 / 606-564-3397. |
Note: The official research did not capture a visitor ID rule, dress code, mail format, deposit vendor, or video-visit vendor.
Bracken County Custody Programs
The official Mason detention page identifies several programs and services at the regional jail. These facts help distinguish Mason County Detention Center from a short-term holding room and explain why Bracken inmates may remain in the regional facility while court matters continue.
| Program / Service | Official Note |
|---|---|
| Medical care | A correctional-care company provides medical care seven days a week. |
| GED classes | Offered to inmates in custody. |
| Substance Abuse Program | Offered as a reentry and recidivism-reduction program. |
| Moral Recognition Therapy | Offered to inmates. |
| Gardening classes | Offered to inmates. |
| Outside work programs | Includes roadside litter pickup and help with residential trash pickup. |
Program access depends on classification, sentence status, jail rules, staffing, and current facility policy. Use Mason Detention for current eligibility rather than assuming every Bracken inmate can enroll.
KOOL and VINE Searches
KOOL and VINE answer different custody questions. Kentucky Offender Online Lookup is the Kentucky Department of Corrections statewide offender search. It is most useful after a person has moved beyond local jail custody into state DOC custody or has a DOC offender record.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is a separate federal custody source for cases outside Bracken County's state and regional jail channels.
Federal custody is separate from Bracken County and Mason County custody, so the Bureau of Prisons locator is relevant only when a case has moved into the federal system.
VINE and VINELink are custody-notification channels. Mason County links to VINE from its official detention page, which makes it a useful alert tool for changes in custody status. VINE is not a court record and is not a warrant list.
VINE helps track release or transfer notices after custody exists, while the Mason roster and phone line remain the first local Bracken inmate search channel.
Booking After Bracken County Arrests
After a Bracken County arrest, law enforcement may handle transport, intake, identity checks, medical screening, charge paperwork, and bond or hold review before the public can see a stable custody record. A new arrest may also be tied to a warrant, citation, misdemeanor complaint, felony preliminary matter, or traffic-related criminal case.
Court dates should be checked through the KCOJ docket system or the Bracken Circuit Court Clerk. Bracken County District Criminal is scheduled Tuesdays except fifth Tuesdays at 9 a.m. under the official KCOJ county schedule, while Circuit Court criminal matters are scheduled on the third Thursday at 1 p.m. Those schedules help families separate jail custody from the next court event.
If filed charges are the issue, Bracken County arrest records and court charges explain the path from booking or citation paperwork into the court case file. Jail custody alone does not prove a final conviction.
Bracken County Visit Rules
Official Bracken-specific visitation, mail, commissary, phone, tablet, and money-deposit rules were not located in the official research. The correct practical rule is to confirm with Mason Detention before mailing property, adding money, or traveling for a visit. Rules can change, and intake or disciplinary status can affect access even when general visiting is available.
Ask Mason Detention whether the person is eligible for visits, whether a visit must be scheduled, what identification is required, whether mail must follow a specific format, and whether money can be deposited through an approved vendor. If a court date is pending, also verify transport or hearing details with the Bracken Circuit Court Clerk.
Important: No official Bracken or Mason visitor calendar was captured, so call Mason Detention before relying on any online schedule.
Restricted Bracken County Inmate Records
Custody information may be public in part, but not every jail or court detail is open. Juvenile matters, protected victim information, sealed cases, health information, government ID numbers, Social Security numbers, and law-enforcement-sensitive material may be withheld or redacted. A roster entry can also lag behind actual release, transfer, court transport, or intake status.
Kentucky public case information and dockets help identify court dates and filed case activity. They do not replace the jail's custody record. For official copies of court records, KCOJ directs requests to the clerk of the court that heard the case, not to the Administrative Office of the Courts.
