Lyon County Jail Roster Reality
No active Lyon County online jail roster was located in the research file. The Kentucky Department of Corrections Weekly Jail report dated June 4, 2026 did not list a Lyon County jail, and KOOL search values showed "Lyon County Jail(closed)." Lyon County Sheriff activity releases point instead to Crittenden County Detention Center as the facility where many local arrestees are lodged after arrest.
That finding changes how Lyon County inmate records should be searched. The county sheriff may hold arrest, incident, warrant, fee, and open-records material, but the jail that receives the person creates the custody booking record. The court clerk holds case and docket information. Kentucky DOC holds state-prison information. Federal and immigration systems use their own locators.
Important: A current booking may be in Crittenden while the arrest record remains with Lyon County law enforcement and the case file remains with Lyon court.
Use Lyon County Inmate Search
Start with the custody question. If the arrest happened in Lyon County and the person has not been sentenced to state prison, check the Crittenden County Detention Center inmate search first. If the Crittenden website is unavailable, call the receiving jail, Lyon County Dispatch, or the Sheriff's Office. If the person may already be in DOC custody, search KOOL instead.
- Open the Crittenden County Detention Center inmate search when the person was recently arrested in Lyon County.
- Search or browse by name if the roster is available. The exact form labels were not captured because the site failed during research.
- Call Crittenden County Detention Center at the common public listing, 270-965-3185, to verify custody, bond, and visiting steps.
- Call Lyon County Dispatch at 270-388-0911 or the Sheriff's Office at 270-388-2311 if the arrest route is unclear.
- Use Kentucky KOOL for sentenced state custody, and use BOP or ICE only for federal or immigration custody.
Lyon County Roster Search Fields
The Crittenden roster page was identified as the official inmate-search page, but the research environment could not load it. The table below keeps the verified field limits clear. KOOL and BOP had stronger captured search-field data and should be used when the custody type fits those systems.
| Lookup channel | Captured field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crittenden inmate search | Inmate Search | Roster link | Official page exists, but exact fields were not visible during research |
| Crittenden inmate search | Inmate name | Text or roster browse | Use safe language and call the jail if the page fails |
| KOOL | Last, first, and middle name | Text | Narrows sentenced DOC offender records |
| KOOL | Offender type, aliases, photos only, location | Filters | Useful for state custody or DOC location values |
| BOP locator | Name or number search | Text and number fields | Federal prisoners from 1982 to present |
Lyon County Inmate Profile Fields
A Crittenden jail profile may be the first place to check current custody, booking status, charges, bond, visitation, and money-deposit routing, but exact public fields were not verified from the official page. KOOL fields were documented more clearly in the research. When a roster profile lacks a needed field, call the jail or use a specific open-records request rather than guessing from an incomplete entry.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Offender name | Public name on a DOC or custody result |
| Current location | State prison, county jail value, or other DOC location value |
| PID or DOC number | Kentucky DOC identifier for sentenced or offender records |
| Photo indicator | KOOL can filter for records with photos and may mark photo availability |
| Charges or offense counts | Booking allegations or DOC offense-count summaries, depending on system |
| Disclaimer or freshness warning | DOC warns that newer than 120-day data might not be finalized |
Lyon County Custody Systems
Pretrial county custody, sentenced state custody, and federal custody are different systems. The same name can appear in more than one place over time. A person arrested by the Lyon County Sheriff may be booked into Crittenden, appear on a Kentucky Court docket after a charge is filed, later move into DOC custody after sentencing, and then show in KOOL. Each step has its own record owner.
| Question | Best channel | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person newly jailed after a Lyon arrest? | Crittenden roster, jail call, Lyon dispatch | Recent bookings may not be in KOOL |
| Has the person been sentenced to state custody? | Kentucky KOOL | DOC records use state identifiers and prison locations |
| Is there a court date or filed charge? | Kentucky dockets and Lyon Circuit Court Clerk | Court charges can differ from booking charges |
| Is the person in federal custody? | BOP locator or U.S. Marshals district contact | Federal prisoners do not appear in county roster systems after transfer |
| Is there an immigration hold? | ICE locator | ICE custody is separate from jail and DOC custody |
Lyon County Jail Facilities
The primary jail facility for many Lyon County arrest lookups is outside Lyon County. The other two facilities in the project are state prisons inside Lyon County. Search and visiting rules change based on that type.

Lyon County Booking Process
A Lyon County booking often starts with an arrest or warrant service by the Sheriff, Eddyville Police, Kuttawa Police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency. The person is then taken to the jail accepting the detainee, commonly Crittenden County Detention Center according to sheriff activity releases and regional reports. The arresting agency creates law-enforcement records, while the receiving jail creates the intake and custody record.
Intake usually includes identity checks, warrant checks, property inventory, booking photographs, fingerprints, medical or mental-health screening, classification, housing, and bond or first-appearance routing. Kentucky jail reporting categories distinguish secure male, secure female, non-secure male, non-secure female, and restricted-custody populations. If a booking is very recent, do not assume the roster updates instantly.
Lyon County Bond Records
Bond information comes from the receiving jail and the Lyon District or Circuit Court. A jail can explain the posted amount, accepted payment method, and release mechanics, but the court controls legal release conditions. A person can have a local bond and still remain held because of another warrant, parole hold, federal hold, immigration detainer, or no-bond court order.
- Cash bond: money paid to satisfy release conditions.
- Surety bond: a surety or bondsman posts under allowed Kentucky procedures.
- PR bond: release on a promise to appear, sometimes with supervision.
- No-bond hold: payment alone will not release the person.
Lyon County Visitation Rules
Crittenden County Detention Center visitation details came from search-result snippets and the ICSolutions The Visitor page because official Crittenden pages did not load during research. The vendor page says visitors must register at no cost. Video visitation may be conducted with an iOS device through the ICS Mobile application, and offsite visits may use personal computers or mobile devices.
The ICSolutions Crittenden visitation page documents the video visitation vendor information.
Use that vendor information only after confirming the person is actually housed at Crittenden, because DOC prisons use state prison visiting rules and approval steps.
| Service | Documented detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Onsite visits | Two free 20-minute onsite visits weekly | Official Crittenden visitation snippet |
| Scheduling | Visitor account and scheduling required | Official snippet and ICSolutions |
| Video visits | ICSolutions / The Visitor registration | ICSolutions page |
| State prisons | Approval and facility-specific DOC rules | Kentucky DOC facility pages |
Lyon County Mail and Money
Mail and money rules follow the facility, not the arresting county. Search snippets for Crittenden list the mail format as the inmate name followed by 208 W Carlisle St, Marion, KY 42064. They also indicate commissary orders can be placed during the week, with deliveries Tuesdays and Fridays. Those details should be confirmed with the jail before money or mail is sent.
| Need | Facility path | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Mail to Crittenden | Use jail mail format | Inmate Name, 208 W Carlisle St, Marion, KY 42064 |
| Crittenden commissary | Use jail inmate-services route | Orders any time; deliveries Tuesdays and Fridays per snippet |
| DOC prison money | Use DOC payment services | KSP and WKCC are prison systems, not county jail accounts |
| Legal mail | Use DOC legal mail portal for prisons | Applies to state prison legal communication |
Lyon County Inmate Records Request
The Lyon County Sheriff open-records page is the main fallback for arrest, incident, photograph, and law-enforcement records held by the Sheriff's Office. It says requests must be written, signed, and specific. The request should include the name, date, location, requester contact information, and a clear description of the record being sought.
The Lyon County Sheriff open-records page explains the Kentucky Open Records Act request process and fee structure.
This is the correct route for sheriff records that are not shown in a jail profile, but it is not a real-time custody confirmation tool.
| Record item | Fee or timing |
|---|---|
| Written response | Five days excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays |
| Released pages | 10 cents per page |
| Photos, CDs, videotapes, diskettes | $2 to $5 each |
| Accident or collision report | $5 |
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before scheduling a visit, posting bond, or sending money.
