Calloway County Jail Roster
The Calloway County Jail publishes a current-inmates link, jail services information, workhouse details, inmate deposits, and open-records contact instructions. The researched current-inmates page required CAPTCHA validation before the roster could be viewed, so no public inmate profile sample was captured. That CAPTCHA gate is part of the real user path and should be expected during a Calloway County inmate lookup.
The jail site says the facility houses state and county inmates. Its about page describes a 129-bed main jail built in 1996 and a 34-bed Workhouse. Jailer Ken Claud is identified by the jail as elected in 2014. The site also lists GED classes, NA, substance-abuse counseling, MRT, PORTALS New Direction, an in-house law library, library cart privileges, and health services through West Kentucky Correctional Health.
Current jail custody is not the same as the full criminal case file. Booking data may show arrest or charge information before a court record is complete. Misdemeanor, traffic, and preliminary felony activity is handled through District Court, while felony indictments and sentencing route to Circuit Court. The broader case path is covered in Calloway County criminal court records.
Use Calloway County Inmate Search
The official roster path is the Calloway County Jail current-inmates page. The page displayed a CAPTCHA prompt asking users to enter four characters, with controls to get a new code and validate. Complete that screen before expecting current-inmate results.
- Open the Calloway County Jail current-inmates page from the jail website.
- Enter the four characters shown in the CAPTCHA image.
- Use Get New Code if the image is unreadable, then select Validate.
- Review the roster after validation and compare names carefully.
- For booking copies or inspection, use the jail open-records process with the records custodian.
Calloway County Roster Fields
The public page first presents validation fields rather than a normal name-search screen. Because no post-CAPTCHA profile sample was captured, the confirmed search-field inventory is limited to the CAPTCHA controls shown before roster access. Do not assume a first-name, last-name, or booking-number search exists unless the validated roster displays it.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAPTCHA characters | Text | Yes | The page asks for four characters from the image before roster access. |
| Get New Code | Button | No | Refreshes the code if the image cannot be read. |
| Validate | Button | Yes | Submits the CAPTCHA and proceeds to the inmate list. |
Note: CAPTCHA validation means automated scraping and quick name checks may fail, so direct jail contact is still important for urgent custody questions.
Calloway County Inmate Details
The jail research did not capture an individual post-CAPTCHA inmate profile. The confirmed record environment still identifies the main types of inmate information users should separate: current custody, jail fees, visitation status, commissary access, and court-related charge or bond information. Charges may begin as jail booking details or citations, then continue through District Court or Circuit Court depending on offense level.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Custody status | Whether the person appears on the current-inmates roster after CAPTCHA validation. |
| Booking or charge information | Possible arrest, citation, or charge details, subject to what the roster displays. |
| Bond or court financial issue | May require Circuit Clerk confirmation; cash is required for bond and restitution. |
| Facility placement | Main jail or Workhouse context, if shown or confirmed by staff. |
| Visitation eligibility | May depend on housing, isolation, court orders, and jail discretion. |
| State custody follow-up | Use KOOL for Department of Corrections custody after transfer from county jail. |
Calloway County Jail Facilities
The jail and workhouse sit in a tight downtown public-service cluster near the Judicial Building. The main jail address appears on the jail site and county directory. The workhouse page describes Class D and community-service inmates classified by Kentucky Department of Corrections to work in community jobs such as road cleanup, lawn care, and road maintenance.

Calloway County Inmate Records Requests
The jail contact and open-records page designates Major Thomas Marshall as records custodian. Written or email requests can be submitted to the jail custodian, and the published inspection window is weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The research lists the records email as Tmarshallcallowayjail@murray-ky.net.
For court case copies, use the Calloway Circuit Court Clerk rather than the jail. The jail may hold booking or custody records, but court charges, disposition, sentencing, fines, and post-judgment orders belong to the court record. For state prison or Department of Corrections custody after a county transfer, use Kentucky Offender Online Lookup, commonly listed as KOOL.
| Request Type | Where to Start | Published Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Jail public records | Major Thomas Marshall, jail records custodian | Email request or written request; inspection weekdays 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. |
| Written jail copies | Calloway County Jail | Research lists 10 cents per page for written records. |
| Court case copies | Calloway Circuit Court Clerk | District 270-753-0060; Circuit 270-753-2773. |
| State custody lookup | Kentucky Offender Online Lookup | Use for DOC custody after a person leaves county jail. |
| Custody or court notification | VINE | Use for offender custody or court-event notification, not as a case-record search. |
Calloway County Visitation Schedule
The jail's published visitation rules are detailed and should be checked before each visit. Visits are no-contact, behind glass, and use phone handsets. Conversations may be recorded. Visitors must show picture ID, minors must be with an adult, no-contact orders are enforced, and cell phones may be allowed in the lobby but not the visitation booth.
| Group | Days | Times | Scheduling | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main jail males | Wednesday and Saturday | 8:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. | Call Sunday prior for Wednesday or Thursday prior for Saturday; sign-in times published. | 25 minutes |
| Main jail females | Wednesday and Saturday | 3:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m. | Same call-ahead rules; sign-in times 3:30 and 4:30. | 25 minutes |

| Workhouse alternate | Wednesday morning | 6:30 a.m. option assigned | Contact the main jail for the assigned time. | 45 minutes |
Note: The jail says rules are subject to change at its discretion, so call before traveling to the facility.
Calloway County Mail and Property
The main jail allows certain permitted items during regular business hours within five days of intake. After the first five days, permitted items must be mailed from the manufacturer to the inmate at 310 North 4th Street, Murray, KY 42071. The published examples include retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, and Nike.
Main jail permitted items include four pairs of new unopened white or gray socks, four sets of new unopened cotton underwear, two bras for female inmates with no underwire, and prescription or reading glasses. Workhouse initial delivery rules are broader for work clothing and sleep clothes, but hygiene must be ordered from commissary. The facility is tobacco-free, and unauthorized items such as drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and weapons may be treated as contraband.
Calloway County Inmate Booking Path
A Calloway County inmate record often begins with an arrest by the sheriff, Murray Police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency. After intake, custody information may appear before the court file is complete. That is why a booking entry should be read as current jail information, not as proof of a conviction. Charges may later be amended, dismissed, indicted, merged into another case, or resolved by plea or trial.
District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic and violation cases, ordinances, felony arraignments, and probable-cause hearings. Circuit Court handles felony indictments, sentencing, and appeals from District Court. Bond, restitution, fines, and fees are handled through Circuit Clerk channels, and the official Calloway court page says cash is required for bond and restitution. For a person found on the Calloway County jail roster, the next useful check is often the court docket or the clerk's office.
Calloway County Commissary Funds
The jail's inmate deposits page links Care-A-Cell for commissary deposits. Families must register before using Care-A-Cell and may also call 1-800-622-8166 for assistance. Commissary delivery is published as Monday and Thursday, with funds due by Thursday 6:00 a.m. for Monday delivery and Tuesday 6:00 a.m. for Thursday delivery.
| Fee or Rule | Published Amount / Detail |
|---|---|
| Bond fee | $5 |
| Booking fee | $30 |
| Pretrial inmates | $35 per day |
| Convicted inmates | $35 District / $35 Circuit per day unless paid by the state |
| District Court work-release day | $30 for each day spent in jail, per jail page |
If an inmate owes jail money, half of deposited funds are applied to fees owed. Money orders must be payable to Calloway County Jail and reference the inmate in the lower-left corner.
Calloway County KOOL and VINE
The jail links page includes Kentucky Offender Online Lookup and VINE. KOOL is the better follow-up when a person leaves county jail and enters Kentucky Department of Corrections custody. VINE is a notification tool for custody or court-event status and is useful for victims or other registered users who need notice of changes.
Official sheriff and jail pages reviewed in the research did not advertise an Apple App Store or Google Play app for Calloway County Sheriff, Murray Police, or the jail. No app-only inmate lookup, warrant lookup, records request, crime map, or tip portal was confirmed. Use the web roster, jail records custodian, KOOL, VINE, and court clerk channels instead.
Open-records requests for jail records go to Major Thomas Marshall as records custodian. Written applications can be made at 310 North 4th Street, Murray, Kentucky 42071, and email requests should include a mailing address. The jail publishes inspection hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday except holidays, and states that applicants will be notified not later than three working days after receipt if requested records are not available for public inspection.
Copies of written jail records are listed at 10 cents per page, while non-written records are charged at the actual cost of producing copies by the most economic process not likely to damage or alter the record. Those jail-copy rules are separate from court-copy requests through the Circuit Court Clerk and separate from state-prison custody checks through KOOL.
When a roster entry and a court docket do not match, use the office that owns the record. Jail staff can address custody, visitation, commissary, and jail-copy rules. The Circuit Court Clerk can address court dates, filed charges, dispositions, fines, bond, restitution, and certified case copies. For urgent release or transport questions, call the jail directly rather than relying on a delayed web roster.
Note: Jail custody, court case status, and state prison custody can update through different systems at different times.
