Taylor County Detention, KY

Visitation at Taylor County Detention Center is by appointment only, and each visit lasts 30 minutes. Visits happen on Thursdays and Saturdays. To schedule, call the detention center during office hours: Monday through Thursday 9:00 AM to 3:15 PM, or Friday 9:00 AM to Noon. Appointments for the week open each Monday, so calling early gives you the best chance of getting a slot. Each inmate is allowed one visit per week, meaning you'll pick either Thursday or Saturday. Visits are limited to two adults and two children, and children must be accompanied by an adult. Bring photo ID, and plan to leave personal items like handbags and cell phones outside the visitation area. Breaking the rules can result in a denied visit, so confirm any approval steps before you show up.

To reach Taylor County Detention, start with the detention center's contact page. It lists the facility address, phone, fax, and the captain's email for direct inquiries. For custody status updates, VINE notification calls follow a staged retry pattern: you'll receive calls every 30 minutes for 24 hours until you enter the correct PIN. If the alert is still unconfirmed after that, calls drop to every two hours for another 24 hours and may leave messages. In Kentucky, phone calls, video visits, secure messaging, tablet services, and mail are commonly handled through third-party vendors. You may need to create a vendor account before you can schedule or receive electronic messages. Expect that calls and messages are monitored or recorded.

Getting the payee line right is the first step when adding money to an inmate's account at Taylor County Detention. Money orders should be made payable to TCDC/Inmate Name. The facility requests the payee read "Taylor County Detention Center & Inmates Name" and include the purchaser's name so funds get credited correctly. You can bring a money order to the lobby window Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. After hours, drop it in the lobby drop box by the window.

One thing to be aware of: the detention center may apply 25% of deposits toward fees owed, and remaining balances can be forfeited at release to cover outstanding fees.
