Visitation Information at Russell County Detention Center
You can book free on-site video visits or paid remote video visits at Russell County Detention Center. Register with Inmate Sales before scheduling either option. On-site sessions take place at 228 Brian Walters Drive, Jamestown, KY 42642. They last 20 minutes and allow up to three visitors. Operating hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, but you can visit only on the inmate’s assigned weekly day and during their free time. Ask the inmate for that day, then reserve a time online through Inmate Sales. Sign-up is limited and first-come, first-served. Remote visits cost $0.20 per minute and are available daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., with unlimited remote visits allowed per inmate each day.
