Calloway County Jail Overview
The Calloway County Jail is the primary secure jail for Calloway County. The official jail contact page lists the facility at 310 North 4th Street, Murray, KY 42071, with phone 270-753-6150 and fax 270-759-5140. The official about-page snippet describes the jail as a correctional facility built in 1996 that houses state and county inmates. In Kentucky, the county jailer administers the jail, so Calloway County Jail information should not be treated as a sheriff-run roster even though sheriff arrests may lead to jail bookings.
The facility map identifies the operator as the Calloway County Jailer / Calloway County Jail. The jail is a secure county jail, while the separate Calloway County Restricted Custody Center / Workhouse is a non-secure restricted-custody line. Current custody questions for either local facility begin with the jail roster and the jail phone. Court-charge questions move to the Calloway Circuit Court Clerk, and warrant or civil-process questions move to the Calloway County Sheriff's Office.

Calloway County Jail Lookup
The correct local lookup path is the official Calloway County Jail current-inmate list. Search snippets confirm the roster exists, but direct roster inspection failed during research, so the exact public fields and profile details are not confirmed. If the roster does not load, or if a recent arrest is not visible, call 270-753-6150 before assuming the person was released or moved.
- Open the official jail current-inmate list from the Calloway County Jail site.
- Search or scan for the person's name, trying alternate spellings when needed.
- Check any displayed custody, deposit, or booking details against the live roster.
- Call the jail for current status, visit scheduling, or questions the roster does not answer.
- Use KOOL for sentenced Kentucky offenders and BOP or ICE only for federal or immigration custody.
The Calloway County inmate records page gives the broader source chain for county, state, federal, ICE, and VINELink searches.

Calloway County Jail Visits
Official inmate-services snippets state that Calloway County Jail visitation is scheduled and limited. The snippets describe Wednesday and Saturday visitation, two 25-minute visits weekly, and a two-adult visitor limit not counting children. Adult visitors need photo ID. Cell phones and cameras are not allowed in visitation booths. Visits are behind glass with handsets and may be recorded. Because rules can change, call the jail before traveling, especially after a roster change, court transport, lockdown, or medical restriction.
| Housing Group | Located Schedule | Rule Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main jail male inmates | Wednesday and Saturday, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. | Schedule under the jail's current call or sign-up rules. |
| Main jail female inmates | Wednesday and Saturday, 3:30 p.m.-5 p.m. | Photo ID is required for adults. |
| Clergy | Once weekly for one hour during regular business hours, per snippets | Confirm current clergy procedures with the jail. |
| Attorney visits | Public schedule not located | Use professional visit routing through jail staff. |
Calloway County Jail Money
The official jail homepage navigation includes inmate services and inmate deposits. Search snippets also show inmate-deposit access on the current-inmate page. Inmate-services snippets mention CPC voicemail and VendEngine monitoring for video calls or visits. A full fee schedule, deposit transaction fees, mail scanning rules, and property mailing rules were not located in fully retrievable official pages, so those details should be confirmed with the jail before funds or property are sent.
| Service | Detail Located | Practical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Deposits | Roster snippets show inmate-deposit access. | Verify the inmate is in custody before sending money. |
| Care packages | Research references approved vendor package channels. | Do not send unapproved property to the jail. |
| Voicemail | CPC Voice Mail is mentioned in official snippets. | Use the mailbox number tied to the phone account. |
| Video services | VendEngine monitoring is mentioned in snippets. | Assume calls or video sessions may be recorded. |
Calloway County Jail Booking
A Calloway County arrest usually moves to jail intake before court records are complete. Public jail materials did not publish a detailed local booking checklist, so the safest description is the standard Kentucky jail process. Intake can include identification, search, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photo, medical screening, charge entry, classification, and housing assignment. The person may be placed into secure male, secure female, non-secure male, or non-secure female categories for state reporting.
Jail booking does not decide guilt. District Court handles misdemeanors, violations, traffic, arraignments, and felony probable-cause hearings. Circuit Court handles felony cases after formal charging steps. A roster charge is best read as an arrest or booking entry until the court record confirms the pending charge, amendment, dismissal, disposition, or bond order.
Calloway County Jail Records
Older booking records, booking photos, and jail files that are not visible on the live roster should be requested through the jail records custodian. The official jail contact snippet names Major Thomas Marshall as records custodian and provides the email Tmarshallcallowayjail@murray-ky.net. Kentucky resident access to public records is grounded in KRS 61.872, subject to exemptions and proper request handling.
For a useful request, include the inmate's full name, known date of birth if appropriate, approximate booking date, and the record sought. If the request is for a court complaint, docket, order, or disposition, start with the Calloway Circuit Court Clerk instead of the jail. If the person may have moved to Kentucky DOC custody, use KOOL and VINELink as a status check.
Location can also explain why one office cannot answer every question. The jail is next to the court area, but custody staff do not maintain the official court case file. The sheriff may serve an arrest warrant or emergency protective order, but the sheriff's office is not the jail administrator in Kentucky. A person checking a Calloway County Jail record should first decide whether the question is custody, a court date, a warrant, a bond payment, or a public-record copy request. That single choice usually determines the correct office.
Note: Confirm custody and visitation with Calloway County Jail before travel because rosters, court transports, and visit schedules can change.
