Clay County Inmate Roster Channels
Clay County jail custody begins with the Clay County Detention Center, the county jail office led by Jailer Linda Smallwood. The official county page identifies the jail at 67 Shamrock Road in Manchester and gives the public phone number for custody, visitation, money, mail, and inmate service questions. For online Clay County inmate search work, the county's legacy detention site points users to a Current Inmates page that embeds the JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud roster for Clay County, Kentucky. That roster is the local jail roster path, while the detention center phone line remains the best way to confirm a live custody status.
The official Clay County Sheriff page is a separate law-enforcement contact. Sheriff Patrick Robinson's office handles sheriff functions, arrests, emergency response, and tax-bill duties, but the jail roster is maintained through the detention center and the JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud system. A person who needs charges, bond orders, or court dates may also need the Clay County Circuit Court Clerk or Kentucky Court of Justice tools because a jail profile and a court record are not the same file.
The official Clay County Detention Center page shows the local jail source for inmate services and visitation.
That county page is the first local source to check before using broader Kentucky or federal inmate tools.
Search Clay County Jail Roster
The official online route runs through the Clay County Detention Center's current inmates page, which embeds the JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud roster. The roster can be useful for current Clay County jail custody, but it should not be treated as a final legal record. Release, hold, bond, or charge information can change after a court order, new warrant, transfer, or jail update. Call the jail when the result will be used for travel, bond, visitation, or attorney contact.
- Open the Clay County Detention Center current-inmates page or the embedded JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud roster.
- Search by last name first, then add first name if the result set is too broad.
- Complete any CAPTCHA or verification step the roster requires before submitting the search.
- Review the detail page for booking, charge, bond, court, and hold fields if a matching Clay County inmate appears.
- Call the Clay County Detention Center at 606-598-2133 to confirm current custody before relying on the online jail roster.
The Clay County Detention Center legacy site also links jail services, current inmates, deposits, and docket-related resources.
The legacy site matters because it is the local path that connects Clay County users to the roster provider.
Clay County Inmate Search Fields
The Clay County JailTracker roster uses simple name search fields and may show filters depending on the live roster configuration. The research source did not confirm a booking-number search box for the Clay County public view, so the safe search method is name based. If the spelling is uncertain, search with fewer characters or call the detention center. The roster may also present a CAPTCHA, which means automated or repeated searches can fail even when the person is in custody.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Optional | Use to narrow common Clay County inmate names. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Most practical starting point for a jail roster search. |
| CAPTCHA | Challenge | May be required | The roster app references CAPTCHA functionality depending on settings. |
| Current offenders only | Filter/config | System setting | Roster configuration references current-offender filtering. |
| Released since | Filter/config | Optional if exposed | May appear when the public view allows recent-release filtering. |
| Search / submit | Button | n/a | Runs the Clay County jail roster search. |
Clay County Inmate Profile Fields
A Clay County jail roster result can mix custody facts with court-related data. Booking date, arrest date, charges, bond amount, warrant number, court date, and hold reason are different fields. A charge can be pending, amended, dismissed, or later resolved in court. A bond field can also change after a judge enters a new order. For that reason, the inmate profile helps find the right person, but the court file remains the better source for final case outcome and sentence details.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Offender image and name | Photo where shown, plus first, middle, and last name. |
| Agency or facility | The jail or agency connected to the custody entry. |
| Booking and arrest dates | Original booking date/time, arrest date, and release date if released. |
| Identifiers | Arrest number, jacket number, case number, control number, or warrant number. |
| Charges | Charge description, charge status, counts, offense date, and arresting agency. |
| Bond and financial fields | Bond type, bond amount, fine amount, and related payment context. |
| Court fields | Court name, court type, court date/time, and related case data. |
| Hold or sentence fields | Hold type, reason for hold, sentence, and special configured fields. |
Note: The field inventory comes from the official roster client structure; no live Clay County inmate result was retrieved for the research file.
Clay County Jail Contact
Clay County's official sources identify one county detention facility for the local jail roster. The page did not publish a facility capacity, so capacity should not be added from third-party listings. The detention center page does publish the jailer's name, the jail address, the public phone number, visitation details, inmate account options, and a list of programs. For direct custody confirmation, the detention center is the correct point of contact. For arrest or law-enforcement contact, use the sheriff's office. For case records after charges are filed, use the court clerk.

The roster page is useful for current jail lookup, while phone confirmation is still needed for same-day custody changes.
Clay County Booking Records
After an arrest in Clay County, a person may be transported to the detention center for intake. Booking can create a custody entry before the court record is complete. Early details may include an arrest date, arresting agency, charge description, bond type, hold reason, or first court date. Felony matters may begin with early District Court steps before moving to Circuit Court after indictment or transfer. Misdemeanors, violations, and many traffic matters generally stay in District Court. If a family member sees a charge on the jail roster, the next court entry may take time to appear in a case search.
A jail profile does not prove conviction. It can show accusation, hold, bond, or custody status. The full criminal case file and final disposition belong in court records, while state prison and supervision data belong in Kentucky DOC systems. For DUI arrests, Kentucky law includes a minimum custody rule for certain DUI offenses, but the Clay County roster should still be checked with the jail before assuming a person remains in custody.
Clay County Inmate Visits
The detention center publishes a clear local visitation schedule. On-site visits are video visits by appointment. The inmate remains in the cell, visits last 15 minutes, and only one visit per inmate per week is allowed. Two visitors may visit at a time. Visitors must be on time, must dress properly, and must avoid improper behavior or disturbances. The jailer can suspend visitation privileges temporarily or permanently when rules are violated.
| Visit type | Schedule / cost | Rules / source notes |
|---|---|---|
| On-site video visitation | Tuesday-Saturday, 9:00 a.m.-2:40 p.m. | Appointment only; 15 minutes; one visit per inmate per week; two visitors at a time. |
| Virtual remote visits | $7.95 per visit | Scheduled online through Securus or securustech.net. |
| Attorney visits | Not published in captured source | Call 606-598-2133 for professional visit rules. |
| Holiday or lockdown visits | Not published in captured source | Confirm with the jail before travel. |
Clay County Inmate Mail And Funds
Clay County Detention Center mail and money rules are specific. Friends and family may send ten pictures from Shutterfly every three months, and the photos should be ordered online and addressed to the inmate. Books must be paperback only, ordered from Amazon, and addressed to the inmate. The county page says all mail will be photocopied and originals will not be given to the inmate. The captured official source did not publish a full banned-items list, visitor ID list, or child-visitor rule, so those questions should be checked by phone before sending anything valuable.
- Mailing format: Clay County Detention Center, Inmate Name, 67 Shamrock Road, Manchester, KY 40962.
- Commissary days: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
- Commissary cutoff: Money must be transferred before 7:30 a.m.
- Money order: Payable to CCDC Inmate Name.
- TouchPay locator: Number 240962.
- Phone vendor: CPC Jail, also known as Combined Public Communications.
The county page also links vendor paths for TouchPay, CorrectPay, InmateSales, Tiger Commissary, and Securus. Vendor fees, account setup fields, and downtime are outside the court record, so the official jail source or vendor page should be checked before a deposit or remote visit.
Clay County Inmates Beyond Jail
Not every inmate record is a Clay County jail record. The Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, often called KOOL, is for state offender records such as sentenced prisoners and some Kentucky Department of Corrections supervision entries. KOOL is not the local Clay County jail roster and will not reliably show pretrial detainees held at the county jail. Typical KOOL fields can include offender name, DOC or PID number, institution or supervision status, sentence information, offense descriptions, county of conviction, and release or parole dates where shown.
Kentucky VINELink is a custody and notification tool. It is useful when a victim, witness, or family member wants alerts about custody changes, but it does not replace court records or the jail phone line. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator covers federal inmates, usually from 1982 forward, and is not a Clay County or Kentucky DOC jail search. The Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry is also separate. It is a registration database, not a general inmate search.
The Kentucky VINELink page provides a statewide custody notification channel.
VINELink is best used with the jail roster and jail phone confirmation when current custody status matters.
The BOP inmate locator is the federal search path for federal custody.
Use BOP only when the person may be in federal custody, not for routine Clay County jail booking lookup.
Note: No official Clay County, Kentucky sheriff or police app-store listing was verified in the research, so no app-only inmate lookup is listed here.
