Marshall County Inmate Population Snapshot

The Marshall County inmate population is reported in Kentucky Department of Corrections weekly jail reports. Those reports separate the main Marshall jail line from Marshall JRC, which means the county has both a secure detention-center population and a restricted-custody residential-center line. The official county detention page lists Marshall County Detention Center at 54 Judicial Drive in Benton and names Roger Ford as Jailer. The DOC report dated 06/04/2026 lists the main Marshall jail with 120 beds and 79 people, while Marshall JRC is listed with 84 beds and 15 people.

The population includes more than one custody type. Marshall County Detention Center can hold pretrial detainees, locally sentenced inmates, Class D inmates, parole violators, controlled-intake inmates, and people awaiting transfer. Marshall JRC is reported separately as a non-secure or restricted-custody Class D dorm population. No Kentucky DOC adult prison, BOP federal prison, or ICE over-72-hour detention facility was located in Marshall County, so those systems are searched separately when a person is no longer in local jail custody.

Marshall County Inmate Population Statistics

The most recent weekly report inspected for the research file is the Kentucky DOC Weekly Jail report dated 06/04/2026. It gives point-in-time counts, not annual bookings or average length of stay. The figures below should be read as a weekly custody snapshot for the Marshall County inmate population.

The weekly jail report source is also useful because it shows custody categories. On 06/04/2026, the main line included 13 Class D inmates, 5 community-custody eligible inmates, 6 controlled-intake inmates, 2 parole violators, and 0 federal inmates. The JRC line showed 8 Class D inmates, 7 community-custody eligible inmates, and 0 federal inmates.

Marshall County Inmate Population Trends

The inspected DOC weekly reports show a sharp drop in the main Marshall County inmate population between early 2023 and June 2026. The official sources did not explain the cause. The numbers should be used as documented custody points, not as proof of a policy, staffing, court, or prosecution change. Marshall JRC stayed well below its rated capacity across the same inspected points.

The Kentucky DOC weekly jail report index is the ongoing source for new weekly report PDFs.

Who Makes Up Marshall County Custody

The Marshall County inmate population includes people at different legal stages. Some are pretrial detainees waiting for District or Circuit Court action. Some are locally sentenced. Others are Class D state inmates, community-custody eligible inmates, controlled-intake inmates, or parole violators reported through DOC categories. Those categories are useful because they show why a person can be physically in a county jail while still appearing in a state offender system.

• Secure male and female custody: the 06/04/2026 report listed 55 secure male and 12 secure female people on the main jail line.
• Non-secure custody: the main jail line listed 6 non-secure male and 6 non-secure female people.
• Restricted custody: Marshall JRC listed 15 non-secure male people and no non-secure female people.
• State-related local custody: Class D and controlled-intake categories explain why KOOL matters for Marshall County jail searches.

Research did not locate official Marshall County annual booking totals, race and ethnicity tables, age bands, or an annual average daily population. Those gaps should not be filled with estimates.

Marshall County Inmate Population Laws

Kentucky law shapes jail operations, records access, booking photos, and post-custody record clearing. The main access statute is KRS 61.872, which gives Kentucky residents a written public-records request path unless an exception applies. Jail standards and custody rules also matter because they explain why classification, care, and recordkeeping are not just local preferences.

Marshall County Inmate Search Fields

KOOL's search fields should be treated as a state offender lookup interface, not a local booking sheet. That means the search can help locate a person in a county jail location or DOC custody, but may omit local booking fields held by the jail.

Marshall County Inmate Record Fields

KOOL records can show a name, offender number, current location, photo availability, aliases, offender type, offense categories, and custody stage. A local jail booking sheet can include other fields that may require a phone call or open-records request, such as booking time, arresting agency, booking number, fingerprints, local charge wording, bond amount, next court date, housing or dorm placement, detainers, and release date.

Booking

Administrative intake after arrest, including ID, property, fingerprints, photo, and screening.

Class D

Kentucky felony classification often reported in local jail or restricted-custody data.

Controlled intake

State-prison intake status reported by DOC for jail inmates awaiting DOC movement.

Detainer

Another agency's hold or request that can affect release.

County Jail State Prison Search

A Marshall County inmate search works best when the custody system is identified first. Local jail custody is different from sentenced prison custody, and both differ from federal or immigration detention. The Kentucky DOC facilities page says Adult Institutions oversees adult correctional facilities while Local Facilities oversees residential programs and minimum jail standards. No DOC adult prison was found inside Marshall County.

Marshall County Detention Facilities

The facility map has two entries. The primary jail is the secure Marshall County Detention Center. The second facility page covers Marshall JRC / Restricted Custody Facility because DOC reports it as a separate capacity and population line and the county detention page separately identifies restricted-custody Class D visitation.

• Marshall County Detention Center holds the main secure local jail population at 54 Judicial Drive in Benton.
• Marshall JRC / Restricted Custody Facility covers the non-secure or restricted-custody Class D dorm population reported separately by DOC.

Marshall County Jail Visits

The official county detention page lists one 20-minute visit per inmate per week and gives separate schedules for male inmates, female inmates, and the restricted-custody Class D population. Visitors must sign the lobby log and call the control room through the intercom. Cell phones, recording devices, and photo-taking devices are barred during visits.

The same page also says clothing must be mailed from a third party such as Amazon or Walmart, must arrive within 14 days of the inmate's arrival, and must fit a detailed white or gray cotton-item list. No outside medications, cigarettes, or tobacco products may be brought in.

Mugshots and Court Records

Marshall County jail mugshots do not appear in a separate official local gallery in the research. KOOL can show photos when a record has one, and booking photos can be requested through the detention open-records channel when releasable. Kentucky's mugshot law focuses on commercial pay-to-remove uses of booking photos and official inmate photos, not on requiring each county to publish a photo gallery.

Court records after an arrest belong to the Kentucky Court of Justice and the Circuit Court Clerk path. The public docket search can help locate court dates, while CourtNet requires login or registration. Charges filed after a jail arrest may differ from booking text, so charge status and disposition should be checked through court records.
