Adair County Regional Jail Overview
Adair County Regional Jail is the primary regional jail named in the Cumberland County facility map for inmate lookup purposes. Its address is 204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY 42728, and the public phone number located in the research is 270-384-5701. The facility should not be described as a Cumberland County building. It sits in Adair County and serves Cumberland County, Kentucky custody questions because Cumberland County does not publish a current full-service jail page or a county-run inmate roster in the official sources reviewed.
The important local distinction is that Cumberland County has a sheriff, jailer, dispatch center, court clerk, and Justice Center, but the research did not locate an operating Cumberland County Detention Center with overnight housing and public roster access. Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL location references identify "Cumberland County Jail (closed)," and older Cumberland Fiscal Court minutes describe Cumberland prisoners being held at Adair County Regional Jail. Those minutes are historical, not a current population dashboard, but they support the regional-custody route used throughout this site.
The official Adair County Regional Jail site is adaircountyregionaljail.com. Its current-inmate page is Adair_inmatelist.html. The page could not be captured successfully for the image manifest, so this facility page is text-only. The research confirms the public current-inmate link exists, but it does not provide inspectable visitation schedules, commissary vendors, mail rules, refresh intervals, or a current rated-capacity figure.
Adair County Regional Jail Population Context
No current official rated capacity or current daily population figure was located for Adair County Regional Jail in the sources reviewed. The only facility-specific population figure in the research is historical: the Prison Policy Initiative correctional-population table, using the Bureau of Justice Statistics 2013 Census of Jail Facilities, lists Adair County Regional Jail with 41 local prisoners as of December 31, 2013. That number is useful background, but it is not a current census, rated capacity, or live Cumberland County inmate count.
Cumberland County's own inmate-population picture is distributed. A person arrested in Burkesville or elsewhere in Cumberland County may be routed to Adair County Regional Jail for overnight custody, may appear briefly in holding at the Cumberland County Justice Center for court, may transfer into Kentucky Department of Corrections custody after sentencing, or may be held under another agency's warrant or detainer. The research did not locate a Cumberland annual-booking report, a current average daily population report, or a public demographic breakdown by age, sex, race, charge level, or pretrial status.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Adair County Regional Jail
Start with the official Adair County Regional Jail current-inmate list. That is the jail roster path identified for Cumberland County, Kentucky local custody when the person has not moved to state prison, federal custody, or immigration custody. If the search does not locate the person, call Adair County Regional Jail at 270-384-5701 and ask whether the person is booked under Cumberland County, Adair County, another agency, a transfer, or a hold.
- Open the Adair County Regional Jail current-inmate page from the official jail site.
- Search by the person's name. If the roster offers recent booking or past-inmate options, use those only as roster tools, not as certified criminal history.
- Confirm that the listed facility or custody route matches Adair County Regional Jail and that the arrest or hold is tied to Cumberland County if that is the local case you are checking.
- If the person is missing from the roster after a recent arrest, call the jail first, then Cumberland Dispatch at 270-864-4141 or the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office at 270-864-4321 for local routing.
Use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup when the person has been sentenced to Kentucky Department of Corrections custody, transferred to DOC, paroled, or appears as a state inmate housed in a county jail. KOOL is not the same thing as the Adair jail's current roster. The KOOL research notes that newer offender data may not be finalized for 120 days, so verify close questions with the agency that created or keeps the record.
Use Kentucky VINE or 1-800-511-1670 for custody notification. VINE is useful for release, transfer, escape, and parole-hearing notifications, but it is not a certified criminal-history report. For federal prison custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. No BOP, ICE, or U.S. Marshals standalone facility was found inside Cumberland County.
Adair County Regional Jail Address and Contact
Call the jail before traveling, sending money, relying on a roster entry, or planning a visit. The research did not locate an inspectable official visitation schedule, property-release rule, mail format, commissary provider, deposit-fee table, or phone/video vendor. For Cumberland County arrest information, the sheriff and dispatch contacts remain important because they are the local public-safety routing points even when custody is handled in Columbia.

Visiting Someone at Adair County Regional Jail
The official Adair visitation schedule and visitor rules were not located in inspectable sources. Do not assume walk-in visiting, video visiting, same-day approval, a particular dress code, or a specific list of allowed property. The safest route is to call 270-384-5701 before leaving Cumberland County, especially because the jail is in Columbia and not at the Cumberland County Justice Center in Burkesville.
| Question | Current researched answer | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Public visitation schedule | Not located in official sources | Call Adair County Regional Jail before traveling |
| Video visitation | Provider and rules not located | Ask the jail whether remote visits are available |
| Attorney visits | Facility-specific rule not located | Coordinate with jail staff, court security, and counsel |
| Justice Center visits | Not applicable for jail visitation | Do not treat court holding as a visiting facility |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Adair County Regional Jail
Research did not locate an official Adair mail-format page, phone vendor, video vendor, commissary vendor, deposit portal, fee schedule, or property-release policy that could be safely copied here. That gap matters because commercial jail-summary pages often list outdated providers, wrong phone numbers, or generic instructions from other counties. Use the jail's direct phone number before mailing anything, depositing funds, or trying to arrange phone or video access.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Call 270-384-5701 for the current inmate-mail format before sending mail. |
| Phone / Video | Vendor and rules were not found in official sources. |
| Money Deposit | Commissary provider and fees were not found in official sources. |
| Property Release | Property rules were not found in official sources. |
Booking and Intake for Cumberland Arrestees
A Cumberland County arrest normally starts with a local law-enforcement agency such as the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office, Burkesville City Police, Kentucky State Police, or another authorized agency. The arresting agency confirms identity, warrants, local charges, and medical issues. If the person must be held for court, the research identifies Adair County Regional Jail as the regional custody path rather than a standalone Cumberland jail.
Kentucky full-service jail standards supply the general intake framework. 501 KAR 3:120 requires written admission, orientation, and release procedures, and it addresses situations where a person needs emergency medical attention before admission. 501 KAR 3:010 defines Kentucky jail terms such as regional jail, full-service jail, dormitory, direct supervision area, and jail personnel. Those standards are the appropriate source for general booking language because the official Adair site did not provide an inspectable local procedure page.
After booking, the person may appear in District or Circuit Court at the Cumberland County Justice Center, which has secure holding cells for court movement. That court appearance does not mean the person is housed overnight at the Justice Center. If released, the jail processes release according to the court order and facility policy. If sentenced to DOC, the public lookup path may shift to KOOL and the assigned Kentucky prison or county jail housing location.
Records, Mugshots, and Public Access Limits
Kentucky's Open Records Act starts with the official custodian that created or keeps the record. For current custody, that usually means Adair County Regional Jail. For Cumberland County arrest reports or arresting-agency records, start with the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office or the agency that made the arrest. For filed criminal charges, court dates, bond orders, and case records, start with the Cumberland Circuit Court Clerk at the Justice Center.
Booking photos can be public-record material in Kentucky, but the research does not show that every Adair County Regional Jail booking photo is published online. KRS 61.8746 targets certain commercial uses of booking or inmate photographs when a fee is required for removal. It does not require every jail to publish every photo, and it does not turn a roster into a consumer background check. Juvenile records, sealed or expunged material, active investigative records, and personal identifiers may be withheld or redacted under Kentucky law.
About Adair County Regional Jail and Cumberland County Custody
The key local fact is geography. Cumberland County's court and sheriff offices are centered around Courthouse Square in Burkesville, but the primary jail lookup source for this project is Adair County Regional Jail in Columbia. Family members should plan for that distance before a visit, bond errand, attorney meeting, or release pickup. From Burkesville, the practical route is generally toward Columbia by KY-61, but final directions and parking should be verified before leaving.
No recent Cumberland-specific jail lawsuit, consent decree, death-in-custody report, or new-jail construction item was located in the official sources reviewed. Facility-specific Adair programs such as GED, substance-use treatment, work release, tablets, religious services, medical request procedures, grievance procedures, PREA reporting, and commissary rules were also not located in inspectable official sources. Those topics should be confirmed with the jail rather than filled from commercial summaries.
Note: Confirm custody, visiting rules, mail rules, money options, and release timing with Adair County Regional Jail before traveling or sending funds.
