Mason County Regional Detention Center Roster

Mason County Jail Overview

Mason County Regional Detention Center, also called Mason County Detention Center in official material, is the main jail facility serving Fleming County jail custody. It is not owned by Fleming County. The facility is operated by the Mason County Jailer and Mason County Detention Center, and official Mason County pages identify Lisa Yeary as jailer. Fleming County still has a local jailer office, but the custody building, jail roster, visitation system, mail rules, and commissary channels for Fleming detainees route through the Mason County regional facility in Maysville.

The jail opened in 1990 and is described by Mason County as a full-service jail. Official county text says it houses inmates for Mason, Bracken, Fleming, and Lewis counties, along with state inmates. That regional role matters for search accuracy. A person arrested in Flemingsburg or elsewhere in Fleming County may be booked into Mason County Regional Detention Center, appear on the Mason County current-inmates page, and later move to a Kentucky Department of Corrections record if sentenced to state custody. The public weekly jail count reports the Mason facility as a whole, not a Fleming-only population.

The Mason County government detention page also says the center contracts for medical care seven days a week and provides programs intended to reduce re-incarceration. Those services sit beside normal jail functions such as booking, classification, housing, video visitation, mail screening, commissary, inmate phone accounts, and custody transport for court or state correctional purposes.

The official Mason County Regional Detention Center homepage shows the jail's public-facing notices, including video visitation rules and JailTracker attribution.

The facility homepage is useful because it confirms the official jail website path before a user follows current-inmate, visit, mail, phone, or commissary links.

Mason County Jail Population

The latest inspected KDOC Weekly Jail report dated June 4, 2026 lists Mason County with 131 total beds and a reported population of 135. That placed the jail at 103 percent capacity. The count includes everyone reported for the Mason facility on that date, not just Fleming County inmates. Because the jail serves four counties and also holds state categories, the safest wording is that Fleming County detainees are part of the Mason County Regional Detention Center population.

The June 4, 2026 report breaks the population into 94 secure male, 22 secure female, 16 non-secure male, 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 0 federal inmates. Class D, controlled intake, and parole-violator lines show why a Kentucky county jail roster can include both local jail custody and state-correctional categories.

A short trend is also available from KDOC. Mason reported 173 people in 131 beds on May 1, 2025, or 132 percent capacity. On May 7, 2026, it reported 136 people in 131 beds, or 104 percent capacity. By June 4, 2026, the reported population was 135, still slightly over the listed bed count.

Mason County Inmate Lookup

The official roster channel is the Mason County Current Inmates page. That page embeds JailTracker/Public Safety Cloud for MASON_COUNTY_KY. Use it for current local or regional jail custody, including people arrested in Fleming County and held at the Mason facility. It is separate from the Fleming County sheriff website and should not be confused with unofficial directories that imply a standalone Fleming County jail roster.

1. Open the official Mason County current-inmates page from the detention center website.
2. Search or browse by the person's name if the JailTracker frame loads normally.
3. If the frame does not load, try the direct Public Safety Cloud/JailTracker path for MASON_COUNTY_KY.
4. Check the roster record for current custody, booking details, charges, bond, photo, and court information when visible.
5. Call Mason County Regional Detention Center if a new booking, release, spelling issue, or transfer may explain a missing result.

If the person has been sentenced or moved into state custody, the jail roster may no longer be the best source. The Kentucky Online Offender Lookup is the statewide KDOC locator for state offenders, and the KDOC KOOL information page says updates are made daily while newer offender data may not be finalized for 120 days. For custody alerts rather than a single lookup, use Kentucky VINE, which can send notice about release, transfer, escape, or parole events.

Mason County Jail Contact

Custody confirmation, public office questions, and facility service issues route to Mason County Regional Detention Center. The jail is open at all hours for secure operations, but the public office has weekday hours. Visitors should treat office hours and visit scheduling as separate issues because on-site video visitation must be scheduled through the approved vendor before using the lobby kiosk.

People seeking Fleming County law-enforcement records, incident reports, or local court matters may still need the Fleming County Sheriff's Office, Fleming County Jailer, court clerk, or prosecutor. For custody status at the regional jail, the Mason roster and Mason phone line are the direct jail channels.

Mason County Visit Rules

Visitation at Mason County Regional Detention Center uses video. The jail homepage says visitors should schedule through InmateSales before using the lobby kiosk for an on-site visit. The official rule gives inmates up to two 15-minute on-site video visits. The accessible official text did not publish a full day-by-day visit schedule, so scheduling through the vendor and confirmation with the facility are the practical steps before travel from Fleming County to Maysville.

Correctional grounds can involve search rules. The facility site warns that people entering a correctional institution may be subject to personal or vehicle search, and that contraband introduction can be prosecuted. A visitor should bring a valid ID, arrive with only the items allowed by the jail, and confirm the appointment before leaving Fleming County.

Mason County Mail Money Phone

Mail rules at Mason County Regional Detention Center separate standard non-legal mail from legal mail. Standard friends and family mail goes to a processing address in Highland Heights, while legal mail goes to the physical jail address in Maysville. The inmate name and inmate ID should be used. Noncompliant mail may be destroyed or returned depending on the type of problem.

The official Mason commissary page lists JailATM and the lobby kiosk as deposit options for inmate accounts.

That source helps separate commissary deposits from phone payments, which are handled through InmateSales products rather than the same account path.

Mason County Booking Intake

A Fleming County arrest may begin with the Fleming County Sheriff's Office, Flemingsburg Police, Kentucky State Police, or a court order. Once transported to Mason County Regional Detention Center, booking can include identity checks, custody acceptance, search, property inventory, booking photo, fingerprints, medical screening, classification, and housing. The Mason site does not publish a minute-by-minute booking timeline, so the useful local point is the route: Fleming-side arrest or court commitment can become a Mason County jail custody record.

Kentucky's full-service jail rules supply the broader framework. 501 KAR 3:120 concerns admission, searches, and release procedures for full-service jails. KRS Chapter 441 governs jails and county prisoners, and KRS 441.055 gives KDOC authority to set minimum jail standards for facilities that house state prisoners. Mason is a full-service jail that holds state inmates, so those rules are part of the local custody setting.

Medication and property have their own facility rules. Mason County Detention Center says medicines must be approved by a Nurse and/or APRN before the front office accepts them. Unopened over-the-counter medicine may be accepted, but prescriptions must be in proper containers with proper dates and county. Medication not approved is stored until release, and medication left more than 30 days after release may be destroyed. Property rules limit white undergarments, with common quantities listed for T-shirts, socks, underwear, and bras without underwire.

Mason County Jail Programs

Mason County Detention Center publishes detailed program information for a regional jail. The official jail programs page lists substance abuse treatment, Moral Reconation Therapy, GED and adult education, work release when approved by the sentencing judge, gardening and certificate programs, and outside work details. These programs do not mean every inmate qualifies. Some options are limited to state inmates, require DOC approval, require judge approval, or depend on employment verification and jail classification.

The MCDC jail programs page shows the mix of treatment, education, work, and certificate programs available inside the facility.

The program list is one reason the facility should be described as a full-service regional jail rather than a small courthouse holding room.

• SAP: A DOC-approved substance abuse program for male state inmates, with separate housing from general population.
• MRT: Moral Reconation Therapy and related MRT classes for qualifying state inmates with approval.
• GED: Adult education through the community college, with a full-time instructor and certified testing site noted by MCDC.
• Work release: Available only when approved by the sentencing judge and when employment meets jail guidelines.
• Certificates: Master Gardener and Pesticide Applicator opportunities through local extension and agriculture partners.
• Outside work: Roadside litter pickup and residential trash pickup work programs are listed by the jail.

Fleming County Custody Boundaries

The most common mistake is treating Mason County Regional Detention Center as if it were a Fleming County-owned jail. Official sources point the other way. The regional jail in Maysville houses Fleming County inmates, but it also houses Mason, Bracken, Lewis, and state inmates. That means the Mason current-inmates page is the right starting point for many local bookings, while the population count and jail rules belong to the Mason facility.

Several custody systems may be needed for one person over time. Current regional jail custody uses the Mason roster. Sentenced state custody uses KOOL. Notifications can be set through VINE. Federal sentenced prisoners use the BOP inmate locator. Immigration custody uses ICE ODLS. No dedicated Fleming County sheriff app, Flemingsburg police app, app-only roster, or app-only warrant search was found in the official source review, so vendor apps should be treated as service tools only.

For broader roster instructions, the Fleming County inmate records page explains how the current-inmates list, phone confirmation, records requests, KOOL, VINE, BOP, and ICE fit together for different custody types.

Confirm Before Visiting Mason

Before traveling from Fleming County to the Maysville jail, confirm custody and the scheduled visit. New bookings may not appear on JailTracker at once. A person may also be released, moved to court, transported for medical care, transferred to state custody, or listed under a name variation. The phone line and official roster are the best local checks before a visitor leaves for the facility.
