Pike County Detention Center Overview
Pike County Detention Center is the only local detention facility resolved from the Pike County facility map. It is a county jail, not a Kentucky state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center. The facility is operated through the Pike County jailer and detention center channel. That distinction matters because the Pike County Sheriff's Office provides law-enforcement, warrant, tax, paper-processing, and tip-line contact information, while custody operations and the public inmate list are handled through the detention center and JailTracker.
The facility holds people after Pike County arrests while they await first appearance, bond decisions, court dates, transfer, or service of a local sentence. Kentucky DOC weekly jail data also shows state and federal custody categories at the jail, including Class D inmates, parole violators, controlled-intake inmates, and federal inmates. A Pike County Detention Center inmate lookup should therefore begin with local custody, but it should not stop there if the person has been sentenced, transferred, or held under another authority.
Pike County Detention Center Population
The Kentucky Department of Corrections Weekly Jail Report dated March 26, 2026 lists Pike County with 346 total jail beds and a reported population of 401. That placed the Pike County Detention Center at 116 percent of capacity, or 55 people over the listed bed count, on that date. The same report lists 300 secure male inmates, 76 secure female inmates, 20 non-secure male inmates, and 5 non-secure female inmates.
| Category | Reported Count | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Secure male | 300 | KDOC Weekly Jail Report, 03/26/2026 |
| Secure female | 76 | KDOC Weekly Jail Report, 03/26/2026 |
| Non-secure male | 20 | KDOC Weekly Jail Report, 03/26/2026 |
| Non-secure female | 5 | KDOC Weekly Jail Report, 03/26/2026 |
| Class D inmates | 110 | KDOC Weekly Jail Report, 03/26/2026 |
| Federal inmates | 140 | KDOC Weekly Jail Report, 03/26/2026 |
Look Up Pike County Detention Center Inmates
Current Pike County Detention Center inmates are searched through the official detention-center path and the Pike County JailTracker roster. The entry point is the Pike County Detention Center website, which links to a current inmate list frame. That frame loads the Pike County JailTracker roster under OMS/Public Safety Cloud.
- Open the detention center website and select the current-inmates link.
- Search the JailTracker roster by last name and first name when known.
- Complete captcha if the public roster asks for it.
- Open the matching profile and compare charge, bond, release, and facility fields.
- If the person has left county custody, check KOOL, BOP, ICE, or VINELink based on custody type.
The county roster is best for current jail custody. Sentenced Kentucky offenders who move into KDOC custody should be searched through Kentucky Online Offender Lookup. Federal sentenced prisoners belong in the BOP inmate locator, while immigration custody should be checked through ICE ODLS.
Pike County Detention Center Contact
Use the detention center contact channel for custody, booking, jail roster, and visit questions. Use the sheriff's office for sheriff services, paper processing, warrant-page questions, taxes, or tips. Use the Pike County Judicial Center for court records after an arrest. Calling the wrong office can slow down a time-sensitive custody question.

Visiting Pike County Detention Center
No official Pike County Detention Center visitation schedule, video-visitation vendor, dress code, visitor ID rule, or lobby-hours page was located in the project research. That gap should be treated plainly. Do not rely on Pike County pages from Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Ohio, or Missouri, because search results mix same-name counties from several states.
| Topic | Located Pike Detail | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Schedule not located | Call the detention center before traveling. |
| Video visits | Vendor not located | Do not create an account until the jail confirms the provider. |
| Visitor ID | Pike-specific rule not posted | Ask what ID and check-in steps are required. |
| Attorney visits | Procedure not located | Attorneys should call the jail or court for current access rules. |
Note: Confirm custody status and visit approval with the facility before driving to Division Street.
Pike County Mail and Money
The research did not locate an official Pike County Detention Center mail policy, commissary vendor, phone vendor, tablet vendor, money-deposit page, or fee table. The safe address reference is the facility address, but mail rules can change by inmate status, contraband policy, photo limits, envelope format, and vendor rules. Call the detention center before mailing items or sending funds.
| Service | Published Detail | Use With Care |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address | 172 Division Street, Pikeville, KY 41501 | Confirm inmate name, ID, return address, and allowed contents first. |
| Phone / video | Provider not located | Do not assume a vendor or rate from another county. |
| Commissary / deposits | Vendor and fees not located | Ask the jail which deposit methods are accepted now. |
Pike County Booking and Intake
County-specific booking instructions were not published in a full Pike jail FAQ, but the research supports a careful Kentucky county-jail description. After arrest, the arresting agency takes the person to Pike County Detention Center. Jail staff receive the arrestee, confirm identity, inventory property, complete health screening, take fingerprints and a booking photo, enter the person into the jail management system, and classify the person for housing.
JailTracker entries may not appear until the public roster updates and booking quality-control steps are complete. No official Pike refresh interval was located, so a new arrest may require phone confirmation with the jail. The jail roster charge list is also not the final court case. Prosecutors and courts can amend, dismiss, reduce, or indict charges after booking.
State and Federal Custody Here
Pike County Detention Center is county-operated, yet KDOC weekly reports show federal inmates and state custody categories housed there. On March 26, 2026, Pike County reported 140 federal inmates, 110 Class D inmates, 14 controlled-intake inmates, and 4 parole violators. Those categories explain why a person can be in the Pike County jail while another agency remains important for records or release decisions.
| System | Use It For | Not For |
|---|---|---|
| Pike JailTracker | Current local custody at the detention center | KDOC prison sentence history after transfer |
| KOOL | Kentucky sentenced offenders and supervision | Pike County booking numbers or bond amounts |
| BOP | Federal sentenced inmates from 1982 forward | County or state-only inmates |
| ICE ODLS | Adults in ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours | Routine Pike County jail bookings |
Pike County Jail Standards
Kentucky law provides state-level guardrails for jail operations. KRS 441.055 requires the Department of Corrections to create minimum jail standards for counties that house state prisoners and health or life-safety standards for jails that do not. 501 KAR 3:090 addresses prisoner medical-care procedures, emergency care, telehealth, medical transfers, and coroner notification after a jail-custody death.
Recent news context should be read carefully. WYMT reported in April 2026 that ARH filed suit involving unpaid medical-care costs for prisoners, naming Pike County officials in their official capacities. WEKU reported in 2020 that the jail was under total lockdown during early COVID and quoted Jailer Brian Morris on population and video visitation conditions. Those reports are context, not a substitute for current facility policy.
