What Happens to Your Loved One's Property When They're Transferred to DOC (Christian County Jail)
DOC transfers often happen with little warning. Here's how Christian County Jail handles your loved one's personal property, what you need to do, and how long you have before it's gone.
When someone is sentenced to the Department of Corrections, Christian County Jail holds their personal property so friends or family can pick it up. The catch: your loved one has to notify you and authorize the release. The jail doesn't give prisoners advance notice of their transport date, so don't wait. Start making arrangements as soon as sentencing happens.
Timing matters. If property isn't released before transport, the jail holds it for 30 days. After that, anything unclaimed gets disposed of. If you want to save what they came in with, arrange pickup within that window.
Note: Your loved one likely won't get advance notice of their transport date. Don't wait for a last-minute call. Treat the 30-day hold as a firm deadline and start arranging pickup early.
Thinking about bringing replacement clothing or other personal items? You'll need permission first. Christian County Jail doesn't allow family or friends to drop off items without approval from the Jail Division Commander. If an exception is possible, get that approval before you show up with anything.
