This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visitation, or retrieve an official booking record. For those actions, use the official Daviess County, Kentucky jail, sheriff, court, state, federal, or immigration channel that controls the record.


Where to Ask for Jail or Inmate Records

For current Daviess County jail custody, start with the Daviess County Detention Center. DCDC is operated by Daviess County Jailer Colonel Arthur F. Maglinger, while the Daviess County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Brad Youngman handles law-enforcement duties but does not operate the jail.

Use the record type to choose the next step:

  • For a person held at DCDC, use jail inmate records and the jail main line.
  • For booking-photo questions, use jail roster mugshots and the DCDC open-records process.
  • For filed charges, hearings, or dispositions after booking, use court records after a jail arrest.
  • For facility-specific address, visitation, mail, money, and custody details, use the Daviess County Detention Center page listed in the footer.
  • For a sentenced Kentucky state prisoner, search the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL locator.
  • For federal or immigration custody, check the BOP locator, USMS custody information, ICE detainee locator, or ICE's Daviess County Detention Center facility listing.
