About the Pike County Detention Center

The Pike County Detention Center is beige concrete, in stark contrast to its surroundings and is located with the Sheriff’s Office. It has smaller windows on the top floors to provide light to inmates without allowing others to see in, and is able to house both male and female inmates.

Inmates of Pike County that are found within Pike County Detention Center are either waiting for their trial or serving a short sentence on either a felony or misdemeanor charge.

The status of an inmate may be checked by calling the location at 606-432-6291 or accessing the online lookup.

Programs are operational to support reentry, provide education opportunities including GED classes for those who didn’t finish high school, work programs to encourage inmates to engage in the daily activities of the facility, recreational and social activities, and substance abuse treatments.

Kitchen staff provide three meals each day for every inmate, and they make everything based on nutritional needs and regulations of the state. Medical care and mental health care are also provided to ensure the health of all inmates and to maintain the safety of the building and all those within.

To communicate with those outside of the facility, inmates are able to access mail services, telephones, and visits.
