The Fleming County Inmate Population
Fleming County does not publish a separate sheriff-hosted jail roster or operate a public-facing local jail page for current inmates. Official county and Mason County sources point readers to Mason County Regional Detention Center in Maysville for people held after Fleming County arrests. Mason County's government detention page says the jail houses state inmates and inmates for Mason, Bracken, Fleming, and Lewis counties. That makes the jail population regional. A Fleming-only count was not found in the official weekly reports, so the most accurate public number is the Mason facility count with a clear note that Fleming detainees are only one part of it.
The local offices still matter. The Fleming County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement, patrol, investigations, civil process, and public safety contacts from Flemingsburg. The Fleming County Jailer page names Jeff Harmon as the local jailer, but that office is not the online inmate-profile system. Custody confirmation, current roster checks, video visitation, mail, commissary, and jail phone issues route through Mason County Regional Detention Center.
The official Mason County detention page is a useful starting point because it states the multi-county role of the jail. The Mason County detention center page identifies the facility as a full-service jail serving Fleming County detainees.
That source explains why a search for a Fleming County jail roster leads to Mason County's jail site rather than a separate Fleming jail portal.
Fleming County Inmate Population Statistics
The Kentucky Department of Corrections Weekly Jail report is the core source for current public population figures. The June 4, 2026 report lists Mason County Regional Detention Center with 131 total beds and 135 people reported in custody, or 103 percent of capacity. Because the report is facility-based, it does not separate Fleming County detainees from Mason, Bracken, Lewis, or state inmates housed in the same building.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Mason County total jail beds | 131 | KDOC Weekly Jail report, June 4, 2026 |
| Mason County reported population | 135 | KDOC Weekly Jail report, June 4, 2026 |
| Capacity percentage | 103% | KDOC Weekly Jail report, June 4, 2026 |
| Over capacity | 4 people | KDOC Weekly Jail report, June 4, 2026 |
| Older local bed figure | 145 | Prisoners of the Census correctional-population dataset, 2013 |
The KDOC Weekly Jail reports index is where Kentucky posts the jail-population PDFs used for these figures.
The index matters for Fleming County because the live population count comes from state jail reporting, not from a Fleming sheriff roster page.
Fleming County Jail Population Trends
The inspected KDOC reports show a regional jail that remained over its rated bed count but improved from the higher 2025 level. On May 1, 2025, Mason County reported 173 people in 131 beds, or 132 percent of capacity. By May 7, 2026, the reported population was 136. By June 4, 2026, it was 135. Those figures do not prove the number of Fleming County detainees rose or fell, but they do show the jail system serving Fleming County was still slightly above capacity in the latest inspected report.
| Date | Beds | Reported Population | Capacity Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 1, 2025 | 131 | 173 | 132%; over by 42 |
| May 7, 2026 | 131 | 136 | 104%; over by 5 |
| June 4, 2026 | 131 | 135 | 103%; over by 4 |
Kentucky's county jail model can blend pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, and state inmates in one report. That is why the Fleming County inmate population should be read with the regional facility's role in mind.
Who Is in Fleming County Custody
The June 4, 2026 KDOC report breaks Mason County's population into secure and non-secure custody lines. It lists 94 secure male inmates, 22 secure female inmates, 16 non-secure male inmates, and 3 non-secure female inmates. It also lists 37 Class D inmates, 19 community-custody eligible inmates, 4 controlled-intake inmates, 2 parole violators, and no federal inmates. Those categories help explain why a jail serving Fleming County can include local arrests and state correctional categories in the same building.
| Custody Line | Population | State-Related Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Secure male | 94 | 29 Class D; 4 controlled intake; 2 parole violators |
| Secure female | 22 | 8 Class D |
| Non-secure male | 16 | 16 community-custody eligible |
| Non-secure female | 3 | 3 community-custody eligible |
Fleming County Inmate Population Laws
Kentucky's Open Records Act and jail standards shape what the public can inspect and how jails keep admission, search, and release procedures. For Fleming County inmate population data, the custodian depends on the record: Mason detention for custody and booking records, Fleming sheriff or another arresting agency for incident records, the Fleming Circuit Court Clerk for court records, and KDOC for state offender records.
Key Kentucky rules:
KRS 61.870 defines public records, official custodians, and related Open Records terms.
KRS 61.872 and KRS 61.878 provide inspection rights and list exemptions for protected records.
KRS 441.025 and KRS 441.055 support county jail responsibility and state jail standards.
501 KAR 3:120 requires full-service jails to maintain admission, search, orientation, and release procedures.
Search Fleming County Inmates
The official roster channel for Fleming County detainees is Mason County Regional Detention Center's current-inmates page. It embeds JailTracker through the Public Safety Cloud path for Mason County, not a Fleming sheriff-hosted database. A current local booking may show there, while a sentenced Kentucky offender may appear in KOOL, and a federal or immigration custody matter may require a separate locator.
- Open the Mason County current-inmates page.
- If the frame does not load, use the direct Public Safety Cloud/JailTracker path listed by the official jail page.
- Search by the person's name and check spelling variations.
- Read any visible booking, charge, bond, court, and custody-status fields.
- If there is no result, call Mason County Regional Detention Center before assuming the person is not in custody.
- If the person was sentenced or transferred, use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup.
Current jail entries can lag after booking, transfer, or release. KOOL also warns that offender data newer than 120 days may not be finalized. For release and transfer alerts, Kentucky VINE is the notification channel rather than a one-time roster search.
Fleming County Roster Fields
The Mason roster interface did not fully render in text capture, so the safest field table uses the official access notes rather than claiming exact labels not verified in text. The roster is public, no login requirement was found in the official navigation, and the practical search is name-based/current-inmate browsing.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates link | Navigation | No | Official MCDC page opens the JailTracker frame. |
| JailTracker search fields | Web form | Unspecified | Text capture supports public name-based roster browsing. |
| Result controls | Tabs or sorts | Unspecified | Not visible in text fetch; verify live if needed. |
| Login | None found | No | Official current-inmates page is public. |
Fleming County Inmate Records
A roster entry is a jail record, not a final court record. It may show the person's listed name, booking or arrest date, arresting agency, charges, bond, court date, court name, custody status, and a booking photo if the Mason JailTracker display includes one for that profile. Social Security numbers, medical details, protected juvenile information, victim data, and sealed or expunged records should not appear in the public profile.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The inmate name as entered by the jail system. |
| Booking date | When the custody record was created after arrest or commitment. |
| Charges | Booking charges, which can differ from filed court charges. |
| Bond | Bond amount, type, or hold status if listed. |
| Court date | A next setting if supplied by the jail system. |
| Photo | A booking image if visible on the public JailTracker entry. |
Fleming County Jail vs Prison
Readers often search one database and stop too soon. Fleming County arrest custody, sentenced Kentucky prison custody, federal custody, and immigration custody are different systems. The same person can move from a local booking at Mason County Regional Detention Center to a Kentucky DOC status in KOOL, or to a federal or immigration system if a separate case or detainer controls.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Current local jail custody | Mason County JailTracker | Current inmates at the regional jail, including Fleming detainees. |
| Sentenced Kentucky custody | KDOC KOOL | State offenders, prison location, DOC identifiers, and photo-filtered searches. |
| Custody alerts | Kentucky VINE | Release, transfer, escape, and parole-hearing notifications. |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Search by A-number/country or biographical data. |
Fleming County Booking Flow
A Fleming County arrest can start with the sheriff, Flemingsburg Police, Kentucky State Police, or another law-enforcement agency. If the person is detained, the practical local route is transport to Mason County Regional Detention Center for intake. Booking can include identity checks, property inventory, search, a booking photo, fingerprints, medical screening, classification, and housing assignment. The public roster record is created from that jail process, while the later court record is created by the court and prosecutor.
State jail regulation supports this workflow. 501 KAR 3:120 requires a full-service jail to maintain written admission, orientation, search, and release procedures. 501 KAR 3:140 addresses prisoner rights. Those rules matter for Fleming County inmate population records because Mason is a full-service jail that houses state inmates as well as regional county detainees.
Bond and release are court-driven. The Mason roster may show a bond amount or hold, but the court order controls whether release is allowed. A cash bond, surety bond, personal-recognizance release, no-bond hold, parole hold, or other-agency detainer can change the custody result. If bond is the issue, check the roster, call Mason detention, and verify the court status with the Fleming Circuit Court Clerk.
Fleming County Detention Facility
Only one detention facility is mapped for Fleming County custody in the official research sources. Mason County Regional Detention Center is the regional full-service jail for Fleming County detainees. No state prison, BOP facility, ICE detention center, or separate city jail was located inside Fleming County from official source searches.
- Mason County Regional Detention Center - regional jail in Maysville serving Mason, Bracken, Fleming, and Lewis counties, plus state inmate categories reported by KDOC.
The facility also publishes unusually specific program information, including Substance Abuse Program housing for approved male state inmates, MRT classes, GED/adult education, judge-approved work release, and Master Gardener or Pesticide Applicator certificate opportunities.
Those programs make the facility page more than an address listing. Mason's program page describes a 20-bed male state-inmate Substance Abuse Program, SAP Mentor, SAMAT before release, multiple Moral Reconation Therapy classes, a certified GED testing site with a full-time instructor, work release when approved by a sentencing judge, and outside work programs. Fleming County detainees may not qualify for every program, but the program list helps explain how a regional jail population can include local detainees and Kentucky DOC-linked inmates under one roof.
Fleming County Inmate Population FAQ
How large is the Fleming County inmate population? The official weekly jail report does not isolate a Fleming-only number. It reports Mason County Regional Detention Center as the facility serving Fleming detainees. On June 4, 2026, that jail reported 135 people in 131 beds.
Why does Fleming County inmate search use Mason County? Mason County's official detention page says the jail houses inmates for Mason, Bracken, Fleming, and Lewis counties. Fleming County's sheriff site did not publish a separate jail roster during the research pass.
Can a released inmate still be found? A person who is no longer current may drop from the current roster. Check Mason detention for booking records, the Fleming court clerk for court records, or KOOL if the person became a sentenced state offender.
Are booking photos always online? No. Mason JailTracker may show booking photos on current profiles, but no public historical mugshot archive was located. Kentucky Open Records rules and KRS 61.8746 matter for booking-photo requests and commercial pay-to-remove misuse.
