Muhlenberg County Jail Roster Overview
The local custody point is the Muhlenberg County Detention Center, operated at 108 Court Row in Greenville under Jailer Terry Nunley. The public online roster is the Muhlenberg Detention Center BlueHorse roster, with both a standard current-inmate page and a mobile-style roster endpoint. The roster is the best first stop when the question is whether someone is in the county jail after an arrest by the Sheriff's Office, Greenville Police, Central City Police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency using the county facility.
The roster does not replace court records. A person can appear in the jail roster before a full case record is visible in CourtNet, and a court case can remain visible after the person leaves custody. If the question is a District Court or Circuit Court case, use CourtNet, the court-date search, or the Circuit Court Clerk. If the person is a sentenced state offender, use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup. Green River Correctional Complex in Central City is a Kentucky Department of Corrections facility, not the Muhlenberg County jail, so state-prison questions should go through DOC and KOOL rather than the detention center roster.
The official Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Office site links to law-enforcement resources, court docket resources, KSP resources, and the detention center, but the reviewed official sources did not show a sheriff or police mobile app for inmate lookup. Use the detention center website, BlueHorse roster, direct jail phone, and records-request channels instead of looking for an app-only roster.
The detention center website is the official local custody source for Muhlenberg County inmates.
This local source should be separated from CourtNet because the jail confirms custody while the court system tracks case filings and hearings.
How to Use the Muhlenberg County Inmate Roster
Use the BlueHorse current and past inmate roster for the standard Muhlenberg County Detention Center interface. A separate BlueHorse mobile roster view is also associated with the same facility. Because the interface includes current-inmate filters, past-inmate fields, and gated login elements, public results can vary by tab and facility setting.
- Open the BlueHorse roster and confirm the page is identified for the Muhlenberg County Detention Center.
- Use the Inmates tab first for current custody and enter the person's last name, first name, or both.
- If the person is not listed, check whether the Past Inmate tab is available and whether past-search fields can be used without login.
- Review the result for name, booking status, image field, physical descriptors, charge tab, bond tab, court tab, detainer tab, and incarceration information where visible.
- Call the detention center when the result is unclear, when a tab appears gated, or when same-day release, transport, bond, or visitation eligibility matters.
The BlueHorse standard roster includes the current and past search interface for Muhlenberg County inmate records.
The standard view matters because it exposes the labels used for current and past inmate searches, even when some details require a facility-controlled tab or login.
Roster Search Fields
The BlueHorse inspection showed a mix of public filters, past-inmate search fields, action buttons, and login controls. The public current-inmate search is name based. Past-inmate searching may expose more fields, including date ranges and identifiers, but some past or detailed functions may be disabled or login-sensitive depending on facility configuration.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | No | Current-inmate filter box for first-name searching. |
| Last Name | Text | No | Current-inmate filter box and usually the most useful starting point. |
| Inmates | Tab | Default | Current inmate list for the Muhlenberg County Detention Center. |
| Past Inmate | Tab | No | Past-inmate screen that may be optional or gated by facility settings. |
| Past First Name | Text | No | Past-inmate first-name search field when that tab is available. |
| Past Last Name | Text | No | Past-inmate last-name search field when that tab is available. |
| Perm Id | Text | No | Past-inmate identifier field. |
| StateId | Text | No | Past-inmate state ID field. |
| Start Date | Date/Text | No | Past-inmate date range field. |
| End Date | Date/Text | No | Past-inmate date range field. |
| Clear | Button | No | Clears the past-inmate search form. |
| Search | Button | No | Runs the past-inmate search when available. |
| Books 24hr | Button/Filter | No | May identify recent bookings depending on the public view. |
| User Name | Text | Login only | Gated BlueHorse user login field. |
| Password | Password | Login only | Gated BlueHorse password field. |
| Ok / Cancel | Button | Login only | Login action buttons, not public search fields. |
The BlueHorse mobile roster endpoint offers a compact route to the same custody lookup.
The mobile roster is useful when checking custody from a phone, but the same cautions apply to gated tabs and same-day changes.
What an Inmate Profile Shows
A BlueHorse inmate profile can contain more categories than a public user sees at one time. The interface inventory includes a mugshot or image field, identity and physical-description fields, charges, detainers, bonds, incarceration information, court information, and general inmate information. Some tabs are marked secure or controlled by WebFields settings, so an empty or unavailable tab does not prove that no information exists.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot / Image | Photo field where the public profile exposes an image. |
| Name | Inmate name as recorded by the detention center. |
| Gender and DOB | Basic identifying information that may help distinguish similar names. |
| Height, Weight, Race, Hair, Eye, Skin, Build, Nationality | Physical descriptor inventory from the profile schema. |
| Charges Tab | Current booking charges or offense descriptions when public. |
| Detainers | Holds from another agency or jurisdiction where visible. |
| Bonds | Bond status or bond amounts when released to the public view. |
| Incarceration Info | Booking, custody, housing, or release-related details where enabled. |
| Court Tab | Court-related information connected to the booking, subject to access controls. |
| Inmate Information Tab | General custody profile details controlled by facility settings. |
Muhlenberg County Jail Facility
Muhlenberg County uses the Muhlenberg County Detention Center for county jail custody. The county elected-officials information lists Terry Nunley as Jailer and gives the detention center address, phone, fax, and email. No separate county jail campus or official capacity figure was located in the assigned research, so facility questions should go to the detention center directly.

Booking Process in Muhlenberg County
After arrest, the person is transported for intake at the detention center. Booking usually creates a local jail record with identifiers, property intake, photo, physical descriptors, charges, arrest agency, housing information, bond or hold status, and any court schedule information available to the jail. The public roster may show only part of that information, while the jail's internal record can include details that are not released through the public profile.
Initial appearance, bond setting, preliminary felony matters, misdemeanors, and traffic-related custody generally move through District Court. Felony cases can later move to Circuit Court. Use the jail roster for custody status, then use CourtNet or the Circuit Court Clerk to check the court file. The two records may not update at the same pace because the jail and court systems serve different functions.
The Kentucky Department of Corrections is the state-level route for sentenced offenders and state institutions.
This distinction matters in Muhlenberg County because Green River Correctional Complex is located in Central City, but it is a state DOC facility rather than the county detention center.
Visitation Hours and Rules
The assigned research did not locate an official visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, phone vendor, commissary vendor, rate sheet, or mail policy page for the detention center. Do not assume a vendor name or a standing schedule from another county. Call the jail before traveling, mailing items, scheduling visits, or depositing funds. Same-day confirmation matters because visitation can change for lockdowns, medical restrictions, discipline, staff limits, court transports, holidays, or housing moves.
| Topic | Located Status | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation schedule | Official schedule not located | Call 270-338-2263 before traveling. |
| In-person or remote visits | Vendor and format not located | Ask whether visits are in-person, remote, or suspended. |
| Visitor approval | Public rules not located | Ask whether ID, age rules, approval lists, or dress rules apply. |
| Attorney or clergy visits | Public schedule not located | Use the jail's direct number instead of relying on ordinary visitor rules. |
| Holiday or lockdown changes | Subject to facility status | Confirm on the day of the visit. |
How to Contact an Inmate
Mail and phone contact are custody services controlled by the jail, not court records. The safe starting point is the inmate's full name and any booking identifier visible on the roster, followed by a direct call to the detention center to confirm the mailing format, approved items, phone-account process, and whether any housing restriction affects contact. The research did not locate an official vendor name, rate sheet, deposit limit, or mail-format rule.
Do not send cash, personal checks, medication, contraband, Polaroid-style photos, or legal documents mixed with personal mail unless the detention center confirms the rule. If a communication is legal mail, ask the jail how attorney or court correspondence should be addressed and marked.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
The assigned sources did not identify a commissary deposit vendor, online-funds URL, kiosk location, fee schedule, or telephone deposit process for Muhlenberg County Detention Center. Confirm the current method with the jail before using any third-party site. A private payment page can look official, but the detention center should verify the correct vendor, inmate identifier, fee, refund rule, and cutoff time.
Commissary records also should not be confused with court financial records. Court fines, costs, and traffic payments may route through Kentucky ePay when eligible, while jail deposits are handled through the detention center's custody process.
