Powell County Detention Center Overview
Powell County Detention Center is located at 755 Breckenridge St, Stanton, KY 40380. The official site publishes the phone number (606) 663-6400 and email info@powelldetention.com. The staff page names Jailer Teddy Lacy and lists senior staff, including Chief Deputy Holly Drake, lieutenants, sergeants, a commissary clerk, and a Class D coordinator. For Menifee County readers, Powell matters because KACo identified Powell County as one of the contract facilities used after Menifee's local jail closure.
Powell is a full-service county detention center, not a Menifee County jail building. A Menifee detainee may be housed there, but the placement should be verified through Menifee jailer/dispatch at (606) 768-9046 or the Menifee County Sheriff's Department at (606) 768-3875 before a family member schedules a video visit, sends money, mails anything, or asks Powell about release timing.
The Powell services page says the facility houses approximately 300 inmates at county and state level and offers education, substance-abuse, and reentry preparation options. That program information is facility-wide; individual eligibility depends on custody status, sentence, classification, behavior, program availability, and how long the person remains housed at Powell.
The official Powell homepage publishes the facility address, phone number, and contact email: Powell County Detention Center.
Use that official page for facility contact details, while using Menifee contacts first when the question is whether a Menifee arrest was transported to Stanton.
Powell Capacity and Population
Powell's services page states that the facility houses approximately 300 inmates at the county and state level. KACo's July 29, 2024 presentation listed Powell as one of Menifee's contract housing facilities and gave a Menifee contract rate of $33 per day as of July 25, 2024. Those sources do not provide a Menifee-only headcount at Powell, but they do show why a Menifee custody search may need to include Stanton.
Powell's population statement covers the facility as a whole. Menifee County's broader KACo figure was 38 county-responsible inmates across several contract facilities on July 25, 2024. A Menifee detainee can move between facilities or into KDOC custody depending on court status, classification, sentence, bed availability, and state/local arrangements.
The Powell services page describes the approximate population, education, reentry, commissary, jail-fee, and phone-time topics: Powell detention services.
That services page is useful for program context, but it does not replace direct confirmation of a Menifee detainee's current housing status.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Powell County Detention Center
The inspected Powell pages did not reveal a public online roster link. That makes Powell different from Three Forks and Rowan, which expose JailTracker paths. For Powell, the lookup workflow should start with placement confirmation and direct contact rather than an assumed roster search. Use Powell's phone number, Menifee jailer/dispatch, and KDOC KOOL as separate tools for different custody questions.
- Call Menifee jailer/dispatch at (606) 768-9046 or the Menifee sheriff at (606) 768-3875 to ask whether the person was sent to Powell.
- If Powell placement is confirmed, call Powell County Detention Center at (606) 663-6400 with the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, and arrest date.
- Ask whether the person is currently housed there, whether bond or holds apply, and what rules apply before visits, mail, or money.
- Search KDOC KOOL if the person is sentenced, a Class D/state inmate, or otherwise visible in Kentucky corrections systems.
- Use Menifee Circuit Court Clerk records and the KCOJ docket search for Menifee court dates and case numbers after charges are filed.
Powell phone confirmation is especially important for recent arrests. A new Menifee booking may not appear in a statewide system right away, and Powell's official site did not publish a current-inmates roster in the inspected pages. Do not use BOP or ICE unless the case has moved into federal or immigration custody.
Powell County Detention Center Address and Contact
Use Powell's published contact details for facility-specific questions after placement is confirmed. Use Menifee officials for local arrest context and contract-placement confirmation. If a question involves the court case rather than the jail account, route it to the Menifee Circuit Court Clerk.

Visiting Someone at Powell County Detention Center
Powell's official visitation page says the facility no longer offers in-person visitation. Video visits are scheduled through inmatesales.com. Remote visits from home have a fee, while visits may also be scheduled 24 hours a day through the lobby kiosk at no charge. Powell County Fiscal Court's detention page adds that visitation scheduling must be by phone at 606-663-6400 between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM only on visitation mornings.
| Category | Schedule or Rule | Type |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | No longer offered | Not available |
| Video visitation | Schedule through inmatesales.com | Video |
| Remote visits | Available from home for a fee | Video |
| Lobby kiosk | Scheduling available 24 hours a day in lobby at no charge | Video scheduling |
| Phone scheduling | Call 606-663-6400 between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM only on visitation mornings | Scheduling instruction |
Confirm that the person is still at Powell before scheduling. A Menifee detainee may be moved among contract facilities, released, taken to court, or transferred into KDOC custody. Attorney or professional visits may follow a different process than public video visits.
Powell publishes its video-visitation process on the official visitation page: Powell visitation scheduling.
The video-visit rules are facility-specific, so they should not be applied to Three Forks, Rowan, or Montgomery placements.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Powell County Detention Center
Powell's services page says there are opportunities to contribute to a commissary account, pay jail fees, or purchase phone time for someone in custody. The video-visitation page uses InmateSales for visits. The inspected text did not provide a complete mail policy, fee schedule, envelope format, or commissary vendor table, so call Powell before mailing items or sending funds.
| Service | Provider or Detail | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Video visits | InmateSales scheduling referenced by Powell | Remote visits have a fee; lobby kiosk scheduling may be free. |
| Commissary account | Services page says contributions are available | Exact vendor and fee table not fully published in inspected text. |
| Jail fees | Services page says jail fees can be paid | Confirm what fees apply before payment. |
| Phone time | Services page says phone time can be purchased | Confirm vendor, rates, and account rules with Powell. |
| Full visible mail rules not captured from inspected pages | Call before sending mail, books, money orders, or legal mail. |
Booking, Intake, and Bond for Powell Placements
A Menifee booking at Powell begins with the Menifee-side event: arrest, warrant service, or transport coordination by the arresting agency and jailer/dispatch. Powell then handles facility intake if it accepts the person. Intake can include identity confirmation, property inventory, safety/security search, medical or mental-health screening, fingerprints or photo if applicable, booking record creation, classification, and housing assignment.
Bond is tied to the court case and the holding facility. Ask Powell or Menifee dispatch whether bond has been set, what type applies, whether another hold blocks release, and where payment must be made. Menifee Circuit Court Clerk Kelly Botts at (606) 768-2461 is the local court-record contact. Do not assume Powell account-payment options are bond-payment options unless the facility or court confirms that process.
Programs and Reentry Services at Powell
Powell's services page says education services are free, available, and open to inmates who choose to participate. It names GED, skilled trade, career readiness, and other programs that may make graduates eligible for reduced sentences in certain cases. It also describes rehabilitation services, including animal therapy and a results-driven Substance Abuse Program focused on long-term lifestyle changes.
Those programs help explain why Powell can hold both county and state-level inmates. Program access is not automatic for every Menifee detainee. A short pretrial stay, court transport, classification, discipline, medical restrictions, or transfer can affect participation. For a specific person, ask Powell staff whether the person is eligible and whether program records are available through the facility, court, or KDOC.
KOOL, BOP, ICE, and Powell Custody
Powell houses county and state-level inmates, so KDOC KOOL can be relevant when a person is sentenced, classified as a state/Class D inmate, or visible in Kentucky corrections systems. KOOL is not a substitute for same-day Powell phone confirmation, especially because Powell's inspected official pages did not publish a public roster link.
The BOP inmate locator is for federal prisoners from 1982 to present. ICE ODLS is for immigration detainees and searches by A-number/country of birth or biographical data. Those systems do not cover ordinary Menifee pretrial custody unless a case has moved into federal or immigration detention. For Menifee court dates, use the Kentucky Court of Justice docket search and verify with the Menifee Circuit Court Clerk.
About Powell County Detention Center
Powell is part of the practical Menifee custody map because Menifee's inmate population is not housed in one local building. KACo's 2024 presentation framed Menifee as a closed-jail county with contract beds in multiple neighboring counties. Powell's official site provides more operational detail than Montgomery, but less roster visibility than Three Forks and Rowan. That means Powell content should emphasize direct phone confirmation and documented visit/program rules.
Kentucky jail statutes and regulations provide the broader framework for facility operation. KRS 441.045 addresses jail rules, security, safety, cleanliness, prisoner comfort and treatment, and necessary medical, dental, and psychological care. 501 KAR 3:050 addresses full-service jail standards, and 501 KAR 3:140 covers prisoner-rights procedures. For a specific facility condition, medical, or program issue, call Powell directly and keep court-record questions with the Menifee Circuit Court Clerk.
Note: Confirm Powell placement before scheduling video visits, sending funds, mailing items, or asking about release.
