Menifee County Jail Roster Overview
No official Menifee County online jail roster or inmate-search page was located on official county sources. Kentucky DOC and KOOL-related material references "Menifee County Jail (closed)," so a public page should not describe an active Menifee jail roster, vendor roster, or mugshot database unless the county confirms one. Unofficial roster-style sites exist on the web, but they were not used as source material because the research rules require official sources for this build.
The official local custody contacts located in research are published through the Menifee elected-officials directory: the Menifee County Sheriff Department, P.O. Box 142, Frenchburg, KY 40322-0142, phone 606-768-3875, and Jailer Eddie Maze, P.O. Box 105, Frenchburg, KY 40322, phone 606-768-9046 with a note for 24 hour dispatch notification. The Menifee Circuit Court Clerk, listed on the KCOJ Menifee County page, is the court-record contact for court dates, bond entries, charge files, and docket history. The KCOJ docket search supports date and division checks, but these offices answer different parts of the same custody question.
How to Use Official Menifee Custody Sources
Because there is no confirmed official Menifee jail roster, the search process is a fallback chain. The first step is local confirmation for current custody. The second step is state DOC lookup for sentenced or DOC-supervised offenders. The third step is VINE for notification registration. The fourth step is court-record verification for charges, bond, and hearing dates.
- Call the Menifee County Sheriff at 606-768-3875 for current local arrest or custody routing questions.
- Call jailer/dispatch at 606-768-9046 before attempting visitation, sending mail, or making any custody-related arrangement.
- Search Kentucky DOC KOOL when the person may be a sentenced state offender or under DOC supervision.
- Register through VINE or VINELink for release, transfer, escape, or parole-hearing notifications where available.
- Use the KCOJ docket search for Menifee, Circuit or District division, and date to review public court settings.
- Contact the Menifee Circuit Court Clerk at 606-768-2461 for court dates, bond orders, charge files, and official record copies.
The VINELink custody notification service is the official notification channel identified for release, transfer, escape, and parole-hearing alerts.
VINE is useful after custody is confirmed because it is built for notifications, not for replacing the local sheriff or court clerk.
Roster and KOOL Search Fields
There are no official Menifee roster fields to publish because no official public county roster was found. Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, or KOOL, is the statewide DOC offender search and has its own fields. KOOL is best for DOC-supervised or sentenced offenders. It may not show a person recently arrested in Menifee County and awaiting an initial appearance, and DOC warns that newer offender data may not be finalized.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search Offenders with Photos Only | Checkbox | Optional | Limits KOOL results to records with photos. |
| Search Aliases | Checkbox | Optional | Expands KOOL searching to alias names. |
| Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Primary surname search field in KOOL. |
| First Name | Text | Optional or unspecified | Helps narrow common-name results. |
| Middle Name | Text | Optional or unspecified | Additional name filter when known. |
| Sort Order | Dropdown | Optional or unspecified | Controls result order. |
What an Inmate or Offender Profile Shows
A local jail booking profile was not located from official Menifee sources, so booking-number, housing-unit, commissary, and local release-date fields should not be invented. KOOL public result snippets show offender fields tied to DOC records, while court files show case and charge fields. A recent Menifee arrestee may need local sheriff or jailer confirmation even if KOOL has no result.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Offender Name | Name displayed in KOOL public result snippets. |
| Current Location | DOC location shown when the person is in KOOL. |
| PID # / DOC # | State offender identifier used in DOC records. |
| Offense Counts | Count information shown in KOOL result snippets. |
| Photo availability | KOOL can limit searches to offenders with photos. |
| Court charges | Formal charges, amendments, and dispositions belong in court records, not a jail roster. |
| Bond details | Bond orders and court payment rules should be checked with the Circuit Court Clerk. |
Menifee County Custody Contacts
Official research located local custody contacts but did not confirm a current Menifee County jail facility with a public roster, visitation schedule, commissary vendor, phone provider, or video-visitation system. The safest wording is to identify the sheriff and jailer/dispatch as the local contacts and to avoid naming an unverified jail vendor or facility process.
Menifee County Sheriff Department
P.O. Box 142
Frenchburg, KY 40322-0142
606-768-3875
Sheriff Roger Smallwood; local arrest and custody routing questions.
Menifee County Jailer / Dispatch
P.O. Box 105
Frenchburg, KY 40322
606-768-9046
Jailer Eddie Maze; official source lists 24 hour dispatch notification.
Booking, Court Dates, and Bond
Booking and custody status are law-enforcement or jailer questions. Court dates, charges, bond orders, and dispositions are court-record questions. In Menifee County, District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic, violations, felony arraignments, felony probable-cause hearings, juvenile matters, probate, small claims, and lower-value civil matters. Circuit Court handles felony criminal cases, higher civil matters, divorce, adoption, termination of parental rights, real-property title disputes, contested probate, injunctions, writs, and appeals from District Court.
KCOJ's Menifee payment information includes details that matter after an arrest. Cash is required for bond. Photo ID is required to post or pick up bond. Restitution must be paid by cash or money order payable to the Menifee Office of Circuit Court Clerk and designated for the victim. Court payments are not accepted over the phone. ePay may be used for eligible court fees, fines, and costs, but a person should not assume that ePay resolves custody or release questions.
Visitation Hours and Rules
No official Menifee County jail visitation, mail, commissary, inmate phone, money-deposit, tablet, video visitation, or vendor page was found. Because official DOC/KOOL material references "Menifee County Jail (closed)," it would be inaccurate to publish a weekly visitation schedule or vendor instructions without local confirmation. Call the sheriff or jailer/dispatch before traveling, sending mail, scheduling a visit, or depositing money.
| Topic | Official Menifee Source Located | Research Status |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | None published in official sources | Gap; call sheriff or jailer/dispatch. |
| Video visitation provider | None found | Gap; do not assume Securus, GTL, HomeWAV, or another vendor. |
| Visitor ID rules | None found | Gap; verify before travel. |
| Child visitor rules | None found | Gap; verify by phone. |
| Dress code | None found | Gap; verify by phone. |
| Inmate mail format | None found | Gap; verify before mailing. |
| Commissary orders | None found | Gap; no official vendor confirmed. |
| Money deposits | None found | Gap; no official kiosk, online, or phone method confirmed. |
| Inmate phone service | None found | Gap; no official provider confirmed. |
KOOL and VINE for State Custody
Kentucky Online Offender Lookup is the DOC search for state offenders. DOC provides it as a public service but does not guarantee all information, and offender data newer than 120 days may not be finalized. That limitation matters for Menifee because a newly arrested person may be in local or regional custody and not yet reflected in KOOL. KOOL is strongest when the person has been sentenced, transferred, or placed under DOC supervision.
VINE, also called Victim Identification and Notification Everyday, is a separate notification system. DOC material states that VINE includes data from county jails, prisons, mental health facilities, and juvenile detention centers. Notifications are available by phone and/or email for release, transfer from county jail, escape, or upcoming parole hearing. VINE phone is 1-800-511-1670.
Kentucky Sex Offender Registry
The Kentucky State Police sex offender registry is separate from a jail roster and separate from KOOL. The official registry can be searched by name, city, county, or zip code through the KSP registry search. KSP lists registry contact information at kspsor@ky.gov, phone 502-227-8700, and 1266 Louisville Rd, Frankfort, KY 40601. Registry alerts can be set by email, ZIP code, or individual registrant when a registrant moves into an area or information changes.
KSP does not guarantee registry accuracy and warns that using registry information to harass a registrant can be a criminal offense under KRS 525.070 and KRS 525.080. A registry result should not be treated as proof of current incarceration in Menifee County. It is a supervision and registration tool for a specific record category.
The Kentucky State Police sex offender registry information page explains registry contacts, alerts, and use limits.
That registry can support a Menifee public-record search, but it does not confirm current jail custody.
The KSP sex offender registry search is the search endpoint identified for name, city, county, and ZIP-based registry lookup.
Registry search results should be read beside court records, custody contacts, and DOC sources when the question involves incarceration or case status.
How to Contact an Inmate
Official Menifee sources did not publish an inmate mail address format, phone account provider, video-visitation provider, tablet provider, or attorney visitation policy. Do not send mail or money based on an unofficial roster page. Call the sheriff or jailer/dispatch to confirm whether the person is in custody, where the person is held, whether mail is accepted, how names and booking identifiers must be written, and whether the facility is local, regional, or state DOC. Attorneys should confirm contact and visitation procedures directly with the holding facility or court.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
No official Menifee commissary, jail money, kiosk, online deposit, phone deposit, or vendor page was found. Court money and jail money must be kept separate. The confirmed Menifee payment details are court rules: cash is required for bond, photo ID is required to post or pick up bond, restitution must be cash or money order payable to the Menifee Office of Circuit Court Clerk and designated for the victim, and court payments are not accepted by phone. Those rules do not create an inmate commissary deposit method. If the person is a state prisoner, use KOOL and the specific DOC facility for prison visitation and money rules.
Mobile App Findings
No official Menifee County Sheriff mobile app was found in official county sources or app-store search results. A generic Kentucky Police Connect app appeared in app stores, but it is not a Menifee-specific official sheriff app and should not be presented as the county's app. KSP official pages mention tip reporting through a KSP app and the KSP tip form, but that does not establish a Menifee jail roster app, warrant app, or inmate notification app.
