The Green County Inmate Population
Green County does not have an active public jail roster tied to a county-operated jail. The research record points the other way: Kentucky Online Offender Lookup lists "Green County Jail (closed)," and a 2026 Kentucky State Police Green County arrest release says the defendant was lodged in Taylor County Detention Center. For Green County inmate population work, Taylor County Detention Center is therefore the practical jail channel for many local arrests, even though the building is in Campbellsville, not Greensburg.
The population count should be read as a serving-jail count, not a Green-only count. Taylor holds pretrial inmates, pre-sentenced inmates, county-sentenced inmates, and Kentucky state-sentenced categories housed locally. Arrests may begin with the Green County Sheriff's Department, Greensburg Police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency, but the jail record can appear under Taylor County's JailTracker roster and VINE feed. That distinction matters because readers searching for a Green County jail roster may miss the correct system.
The official Kentucky DOC weekly jail report index is the strongest source for capacity and population figures. It reports jail totals by facility, not a Green County-only share of Taylor's population. Green County-specific annual bookings, average length of stay, race, age, and incarceration-rate figures were not located in official sources, so those measures should not be inferred from Taylor totals.
Green County Inmate Population Statistics
The June 4, 2026 Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail Report listed Taylor County Detention Center with 204 total beds and 186 reported inmates. That placed the serving jail at 91 percent of capacity, with 18 beds under capacity on that date. The same report showed 138 secure male inmates and 48 secure female inmates. These figures describe the full Taylor facility population, including people from more than one custody source.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Taylor total jail beds | 204 | Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail Report, June 4, 2026 |
| Reported population | 186 | Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail Report, June 4, 2026 |
| Capacity percentage | 91% | Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail Report, June 4, 2026 |
| Secure male population | 138 | Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail Report, June 4, 2026 |
| Secure female population | 48 | Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail Report, June 4, 2026 |
| Federal inmates | 0 | Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail Report, June 4, 2026 |
The Kentucky DOC weekly jail report page is the source used for Taylor's public jail population trend. The screenshot from that state page shows where weekly jail PDFs are posted before facility-level figures are reviewed.
Use the report date beside each figure. Jail counts can move daily as people are booked, released, sentenced, or transferred.
Green County Inmate Population Trends
Taylor's five annual snapshots show a facility that was slightly over capacity in 2022 and 2023, then under capacity in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The count dropped from 208 inmates in June 2022 to 174 in May 2025, then rose to 186 in June 2026. The research file does not identify a Green County-only cause, a new jail project, or a local policy change tied to the shift.
| Snapshot Date | Beds | Reported Population | Capacity | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2, 2022 | 204 | 208 | 102% | Four over capacity |
| June 1, 2023 | 204 | 207 | 101% | Three over capacity |
| June 6, 2024 | 204 | 193 | 95% | Eleven under capacity |
| May 1, 2025 | 204 | 174 | 85% | Thirty under capacity |
| June 4, 2026 | 204 | 186 | 91% | Eighteen under capacity |
Statewide context helps explain why jail capacity remains a local concern. Prison Policy Initiative and Vera describe Kentucky as a high-incarceration state with long-term jail growth, but those statewide findings do not provide a Green County inmate population count. Use them as context only.
Who Makes Up Green County Jail Custody
The June 2026 Taylor report breaks the serving jail population into several legal and custody groups. It listed 69 Class D inmates, 6 alternative-sentence inmates, 12 controlled-intake inmates, and 2 parole violators. A Class D inmate is a Kentucky state-sentenced category often housed in county jails. Controlled intake is a state population category for people awaiting DOC placement or processing.
- Pretrial and pre-sentenced custody: people held after arrest while charges, bond, and court dates are pending.
- County-sentenced custody: people serving a local sentence in a jail setting.
- State-sentenced jail custody: Kentucky categories such as Class D or controlled intake that may remain in a local jail.
- Federal custody: Taylor reported no federal inmates on June 4, 2026.
Do not treat the Taylor total as the number of Green County residents in custody. The serving jail count includes the whole facility population, while Green County-specific detention counts were not located.
Laws Governing Green County Inmate Data
Kentucky law gives the public a records process, but it does not make every jail or police record public in full. The key point for Green County inmate population searches is source control. Jail custody data comes from the jail roster, VINE, and state jail reports. Court charges come from the clerk and eCourts. Arrest reports and investigative files may be handled by the arresting agency and can be redacted or withheld under statutory exemptions.
Key Kentucky rules:
KRS 61.870 defines public records and official custodians for Kentucky open records.
KRS Chapter 61 sets the public inspection process used with agency open-records policies.
KRS 17.150 covers criminal justice agency records and exemptions for certain law-enforcement material.
501 KAR 3:120 sets admission, search, and release procedures for full-service jails.
Note: A public jail roster is a custody tool, not the final court record for guilt, dismissal, or sentence.
How to Search Green County Inmates
The first Green County inmate search path is Taylor County Detention Center's official Current Inmates page, which frames the Public Safety Cloud JailTracker roster. If the roster does not show a match, Taylor's VINE page, the jail phone line, the Green County Sheriff's Department, and Kentucky KOOL each cover a different part of the custody chain.
- Open the Taylor County Detention Center current-inmates page from the official jail site.
- Search by last name, then add first name if the result list is broad.
- Open the matching profile and compare booking date, facility, arresting agency, charges, bond, and release status.
- If there is no roster match, search VINE or call Taylor County Detention Center at 270-789-1909.
- If the person was sentenced or transferred, search Kentucky Online Offender Lookup.
The Taylor jail home page is the official start point for current-inmate and inmate-services links. The captured page shows the older jail site that sends users into the current-inmates frame.
Use the official Taylor pages before relying on unofficial pages that advertise a separate Green County jail roster.
Current Green County Inmate Lookup
The Taylor JailTracker app can expose search controls, current-inmate settings, released-since values, captcha fields, and name fields, depending on how the public roster is configured. VINE is a second official route for custody status. Taylor's VINE page says updates are received from the booking system every 15 minutes and the service is available every day in English and Spanish.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Facility path | URL route | Yes | Taylor_County_Ky in the vendor route |
| Last Name | Text | Usually used | Primary name search field |
| First Name | Text | No | Narrows common names |
| Current inmates only | App setting | Configured by app | Client strings show current-only controls |
| Released since | App setting | No | May appear if enabled |
| Captcha | Validation | Conditional | Complete it if the roster prompts for it |
What a Green County Inmate Record Shows
A JailTracker record may show more than a name. Static inspection found fields for booking number, jacket number, facility, arresting agency, original booking time, release time, charge description, charge status, bond type, bond amount, case number, warrant number, court name, hold type, and sentence. Photo display depends on jail configuration, so a booking image should not be assumed for every record.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and aliases | Identity fields used for roster search and display. |
| Image / ImageBase | Booking photo if public image display is enabled. |
| OriginalBookDateTime | When the custody event began. |
| ArrestingAgency | The agency tied to the arrest or booking entry. |
| ChargeDescription | The roster's text description of a charge. |
| BondType / BondAmount | Bond fields if the jail record includes them. |
| FinalReleaseDateTime | Release time when a release field is shown. |
Green County Jail vs State Prison
County jail custody and state prison custody are not the same search. Taylor County Detention Center is the local or regional jail channel for many Green County arrests. KOOL is the Kentucky DOC locator for sentenced offenders, people in state prisons, people held as state inmates in county jails, and people under supervision. Federal and immigration custody use separate federal systems.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or recent arrest | Taylor JailTracker and VINE | Current local jail custody |
| Sentenced state custody | Kentucky KOOL | DOC facility, supervision, or offender record |
| Federal sentence | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 forward |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE custody or some CBP custody over 48 hours |
Green County Detention Facilities
Only one serving detention facility is resolved in the Green County facility map. No active city jail, federal facility, ICE facility, state prison, or work-release annex was located in Green County. The law-enforcement agencies in Greensburg and Green County handle arrest and records contact, while jail custody lookup routes through Taylor when the person is lodged there.
- Taylor County Detention Center - regional serving jail for Green County custody searches, holding pretrial, pre-sentenced, county-sentenced, state-sentenced, male, and female inmates.
The Green County Sheriff's official home page is still useful for local arrest context. The captured sheriff page shows the public contact block and the limited site navigation that does not include a Green County jail roster.
That absence is a routing fact: use the sheriff for Green County law-enforcement contact and Taylor for current jail custody lookup.
Green County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Green County inmate population?
The best located official jail count is Taylor County Detention Center's facility count, not a Green-only total. Kentucky DOC reported Taylor at 186 inmates and 204 beds on June 4, 2026. Green County-only daily jail counts were not located.
Why does Green County inmate search route to Taylor County?
Green County Jail appears as closed in Kentucky's statewide offender-location data, and a 2026 KSP Green County arrest release said the defendant was lodged at Taylor County Detention Center. That makes Taylor the practical jail roster and custody-status path for many Green County arrests.
What if the person is not on the Taylor roster?
Use Taylor VINE, call Taylor County Detention Center, call the Green County Sheriff's Department for arrest or transport context, and search KOOL if the person may have moved into state custody. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE.
Are court charges the same as jail charges?
No. Jail booking charges may change after prosecutor review. Green County court records after an arrest are checked through Kentucky eCourts or the Green County Circuit Court Clerk.
