How to find an inmate
Edmonson County has no jail in Brownsville, so call the Edmonson County Jailer's Office or Sheriff's Office with the person's full name and date of birth. Staff can tell you which contract jail is holding the person. For people sentenced to state prison, use the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL offender lookup.
Visitation
Visits follow the rules of the contract jail where the person is held, not Edmonson County. First confirm the housing facility with the Edmonson County Jailer. Then contact that jail for its visitation process and schedule.
Bail and bond
A Kentucky judge sets bail, often after a review by Kentucky Pretrial Services. Kentucky does not allow commercial bail bondsmen, so bail is paid directly to the court clerk or at the jail holding the person. Call the Edmonson County Circuit Court Clerk in Brownsville or the holding jail to confirm how to pay.
Mail and money
Mail and money deposits must follow the rules of the contract jail where the inmate is housed. Confirm the facility with the Edmonson County Jailer first. Then get its mailing address and deposit options from that jail.
