Find Mason County Inmates

Mason County Jail Basics

The Mason County Detention Center, also described as the Regional Detention Center, is run by Jailer Lisa Kern Yeary. The county elected-officials source lists the facility at 702 US 68, Maysville, KY 41056, phone 606-564-3621, fax 606-564-3397, and email masondep@ky.gov. The county detention page says the facility opened in 1990 and houses state inmates and inmates for Mason, Bracken, Fleming, and Lewis counties.

That regional role matters for inmate search. A person housed in Mason County may have a case from a nearby county, and a Mason County resident may need to check the case county as well as the jail location. The office hours in the researched county source are Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m.-4 p.m., closed weekends. The jail itself operates 24/7.

The official county detention-center page is a key local source for Mason County inmate records and jail context.

The facility page supports the regional jail distinction and should be used before assuming the case county from the jail location.

Mason County Jail Roster

The official current-inmate list URL identified in the research is Mason County Detention Center current inmates. The page did not load reliably in the research environment, so no public search fields, filter options, or inmate profile fields were verified. That gap is important. The Mason County inmate roster should not be described as having name search, booking-number search, mugshots, bond fields, or charge fields unless a current official inspection confirms those details.

For a practical roster check, use the official URL first, then call the jail if the page is unavailable or unclear. If custody status affects a court case, also check the Mason County court record or docket. Booking and release data can change faster than public pages update, and the jail may hold people for Mason, Bracken, Fleming, or Lewis County matters.

Use Mason County Inmate Search

Because the roster field structure was not verified, the safest workflow is to use official channels in order rather than guessing at hidden fields. This also reduces confusion between a jail custody record, a court case, and a state offender record. A jail roster can answer a current-custody question. It does not replace the court file, the bond order, or the final criminal disposition.

1. Open the official Mason County Detention Center current-inmate list URL.
2. If the roster fails to load or does not show the person, call the jail at 606-564-3621.
3. Check Kentucky VINE for custody notifications and statewide local-jail custody information.
4. Use KOOL only for state prisoners or supervised offenders, not ordinary county-jail status.
5. For charges, bond, court dates, or disposition, verify through Mason County court records.

For related booking-to-charge context, Mason County arrest records and court charges are separate from the jail custody listing.

Mason County Inmate Profile Gaps

The research identified possible inmate-profile fields that commonly appear on jail rosters, but those fields were not confirmed for the official Mason County page. The content should preserve that uncertainty. Names, booking dates, charges, bond, inmate ID, and custody status may exist on a current roster, but they should not be stated as Mason County roster facts without a later successful official inspection.

Note: The research gap is a content constraint, not a reason to invent roster fields from other county jail sites.

Mason County VINE and KOOL

Kentucky VINE is the custody-notification tool to use when a Mason County inmate search needs current custody alerts. The Kentucky VINE portal provides statewide custody information and notifications. The Kentucky Attorney General's VINE page states that VINE is available 24/7 for inmate information in local jails and adult correctional facilities, with phone notification at 800-511-1670. Kentucky DOC also describes free automated custody-change notifications from jail booking systems, prisons, and mental health facilities.

KOOL is different. The Kentucky Online Offender Lookup is for state prisoners and supervised offenders after a person leaves county-jail status or enters the state correctional system. It should not be treated as the Mason County jail roster. Use VINE for custody notification, KOOL for state offender status, and the local jail for a current Mason County detention question.

The VINE portal is a successful manifest image source for Mason County inmate records.

VINE is especially useful when a release, transfer, or custody-change alert matters more than a static roster view.

The Kentucky Attorney General VINE page gives the 24/7 inmate-information and notification context for local jails and adult correctional facilities.

That statewide explanation supports using VINE alongside the local Mason County jail roster rather than in place of it.

The Kentucky Department of Corrections VINE information page describes custody-change notifications across jail booking systems and prisons.

DOC's VINE material helps separate a custody-notification service from a court case search or state offender lookup.

Mason County Booking Flow

A person arrested in Mason County may be taken to the Mason County Detention Center for intake, identity processing, booking, property handling, medical screening, and custody classification. Bond and release conditions come from the court, and the jail holds the person until release, transfer, sentence, or other court order. Felony matters have District Court arraignment and preliminary-hearing stages before Circuit Court indictment or information practice. Misdemeanor and traffic-citation arrests generally remain in District Court.

This is why jail and court records should be read together. The jail may show current custody, but the court file explains the case number, filed charge, hearing date, bond order, plea, disposition, or sentence. If a person has been transferred, released, or sentenced to state custody, the local roster may no longer be the best source.

Mason County Jail Services

Official jail service sources were only partially accessible through page snippets and URLs. The full jail pages and handbook did not reliably load in the research environment, so only verified snippets should be used. Visits are scheduled at InmateSales, and visits must be scheduled before using the lobby kiosk. The snippet states inmates receive up to two 15-minute on-site video visits, but the full official schedule was not visible.

Mason County Inmate Mail

Mail and money rules also came from partial official snippets. Non-legal friends and family mail should use the inmate's name and inmate ID, Mason County Detention Center, P.O. Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Mail must include the inmate name and ID and a sender return address. The official snippet noted size and cardstock scanning limits, but the full limits were not visible in accessible text.

Commissary deposits may be made by mailed money order, lobby kiosk, or JailATM according to the research snippets. The jail-fee note says commissary can be stopped for 30 days if jail officials believe deposits are being used to avoid jail-fee payment. That is a narrow verified rule and should not be expanded into unverified deposit limits or fee claims.

Mason County Jail Open Records

Booking records not shown online may require a jail or sheriff records request, subject to exemptions. The Mason County Sheriff open-records page lists requests by email, mail, or in person and gives a five-business-day response statement. Fees listed for sheriff-held records include hard-copy pages, DVD-R media, postage if mailed, and no charge for email delivery. Jail records may still be limited when a law-enforcement, court, juvenile, medical, privacy, or security exemption applies.

There is no verified Mason County Sheriff app for inmate lookup. The Maysville Police Tip411 app supports anonymous tips and department content, but it is not documented as an inmate roster or warrant search. For current custody, use the detention center, VINE, and official court sources.
