Crittenden County Detention Center Overview

Crittenden County Detention Center is a regional jail facility in Marion, Kentucky. For Lyon County readers, its key role is practical: Lyon County does not appear to operate an active full-service jail in 2026, and Lyon Sheriff activity reports often route local arrestees to Crittenden after arrest. The receiving jail creates the booking and custody record, while the Lyon County Sheriff may retain arrest or incident records.

The facility is operated by the Crittenden County jailer and detention center. Official Crittenden pages were identified for inmate search, visitation, mail, commissary, bonds, property, and deposit money, but several official pages returned connection failures during research. Because of that access limit, roster use should be paired with a direct jail call when release, bond, or visiting decisions depend on current status.

Crittenden County Jail Population

The Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail report dated June 4, 2026 showed Crittenden County Detention Center with 133 secure jail beds and a reported population of 131. The same report showed Crittenden RCC with 39 beds and a reported population of 28. Those figures are not Lyon County jail figures; they are the capacity and population of the receiving jail used for many Lyon arrest lookups.

Lookup Crittenden County Inmates

The official Crittenden inmate-search page was identified at the jail website, but it was not fetchable during research. Use it first when it loads, then confirm by phone if the person was just arrested, the roster returns no result, or the profile does not show bond or visiting details. A person arrested in Lyon County may also appear in Lyon Sheriff reports before the jail profile is complete.

1. Open the Crittenden County Detention Center inmate search.
2. Search or browse by name if the roster is online. Do not rely on field labels that were not captured.
3. Call the jail at the common public listing, 270-965-3185, to verify current custody and bond.
4. Use VINELink for release, transfer, escape, and parole-hearing notifications.
5. Use Kentucky KOOL if the person has moved into sentenced state custody.

Crittenden County Detention Center Contact

Use the Marion address for jail custody, mail, visitation, and commissary questions. Use the Lyon County Sheriff address in Eddyville for Lyon arrest reports or open-records requests. This split prevents the common mistake of mailing or visiting the wrong office.

Crittenden County Visitation

Research found visitation information through ICSolutions and search-result snippets for the official jail pages. The vendor page says visitors must register at no cost, and that video visitation can be conducted using compatible personal devices. Search snippets for the jail visitation page state that each inmate is allowed two free 20-minute onsite visits per week and that onsite visits require account setup and scheduling.

The ICSolutions Crittenden jail-information page is the matched vendor source for video visitation.

Before scheduling, confirm the person is still at Crittenden. If the person has moved to a Kentucky DOC prison, prison visiting approval and scheduling rules apply instead.

Crittenden County Mail and Money

Search snippets from official Crittenden inmate-services pages showed the mail format as the inmate name followed by the jail address. The commissary snippet said orders can be placed during the week, with deliveries Tuesdays and Fridays. Since the official pages were not reachable during research, confirm accepted items, address format, deposit methods, and deadlines before sending mail or funds.

Crittenden County Booking Intake

For a Lyon County arrest, the booking chain often begins with a local officer or deputy, then transport to the jail accepting the detainee. Once Crittenden receives the person, jail staff handle identity checks, warrants, property, fingerprints, booking photos, medical screening, classification, housing, bond paperwork, and roster or notification updates. The arresting agency and the jail can hold different parts of the record.

If the person does not appear online right away, allow time for transport and intake, then call the jail. If the question concerns a Lyon County Sheriff report, use the sheriff open-records process. If the question concerns court charges after booking, use the Kentucky Court of Justice docket portal or the Lyon Circuit Court Clerk.

Crittenden County Records Routing

Current custody questions belong with the jail. Lyon arrest reports, photographs held by the sheriff, and incident reports belong with the Lyon County Sheriff open-records process. Court dates and filed charges belong with the Lyon court clerk. Sentenced prison locations belong in KOOL. Keeping those lanes separate reduces wrong-office delays.

For a records request tied to a Lyon County arrest, the strongest request language is narrow and dated. The Lyon County Sheriff open-records page says a request must be written, signed, and specific, with the requester's printed name, address, and phone number. It can be mailed, faxed, or hand delivered to the Official Custodian of Records at the Sheriff's Office. State law requires a written response within five days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, starting the day after receipt.

Crittenden may still be the correct contact for the jail booking record, housing, bond mechanics, mail, and visitation. Lyon may be the correct contact for the arrest report, incident narrative, sheriff photograph, or warrant service record. The court clerk is the right source for case numbers, certified copies, and court dates. If a person was transferred, VINELink and KOOL can help show the custody change after the jail record no longer answers the question.

Crittenden and Lyon County Custody

Crittenden County Detention Center is listed here because it serves the practical jail-search need for many Lyon County arrests. The Kentucky DOC weekly report did not show an active Lyon County jail row, and the Lyon Sheriff site does not publish a local detention-center service page. That makes the Marion jail, the Eddyville sheriff records office, and the Lyon court clerk part of the same public search path.

This split also affects families and attorneys. A jail visit, mail item, or commissary deposit should follow Crittenden rules only after custody is confirmed there. A public-records request for a Lyon Sheriff report should go to Eddyville. A question about whether a booking charge became a filed misdemeanor or felony should go to the Kentucky Court of Justice docket portal or the Lyon Circuit Court Clerk.
