How to Contact an Inmate at Daviess County Detention Center (KY)
Trying to reach someone in jail is stressful, especially the first time. Here's how communication works at Daviess County Detention Center and how to avoid common hang-ups.
Daviess County Detention Center doesn't offer in-person public visits. All contact happens through video visits and chats, which become available online about 16 hours after an inmate is booked. You'll use CorrectPay.com to connect.
Video visits are available 24 hours a day, except during head counts. The facility lists typical head count times as 7 a.m. to 8 a.m., 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., and 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. If your call keeps getting interrupted, try scheduling around those windows.
Assume your video visits are monitored and recorded. The exception is preapproved confidential visits. If you need a confidential visit for a specific reason, ask about the preapproval process before scheduling anything.
