The Greene Co Jail is a detention center located at 1199 N Haseltine Rd Springfield, MO which is operated locally by the Greene County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Greene County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Springfield Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Grayson County Detention Center in Leitchfield, Kentucky, has grown into one of the most operationally significant county jail systems in the Commonwealth, housing local inmates alongside ICE detainees under agreements with the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Operated under the leadership of Jailer Jason Woosley, the detention complex supports county inmates, state inmates, federal detainees, and immigration detainees through a rapidly expanding multi-facility detention system. Recent reports from Kentucky jail officials and local media identify the jail system as operating between 536 and 717 total beds across several separate detention buildings, making it one of the larger county-operated detention systems in Kentucky.

Located along Shaw Station Road in Leitchfield, the detention center includes separate male, female, and annex housing facilities supporting around-the-clock detention operations. The jail contains intake and booking sections, medical and mental health services, transportation staging areas, secure housing units, attorney visitation spaces, video visitation systems, recreation areas, dining operations, and administrative offices designed to manage a highly diverse inmate population. ICE detainees housed at the facility are generally awaiting immigration hearings, transfer coordination, or removal proceedings under DHS authority. Federal visitation schedules published by the detention center specifically acknowledge the facility’s federal detention operations and coordination with agencies such as ICE, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

ICE Detainee Information

This facility holds immigration detainees under an active contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in addition to its regular population. ICE detainees are civil immigration detainees, not criminal defendants, and are held while their immigration cases are processed. The rules, rights, and services that apply to ICE detainees differ from those that apply to the general jail population.

To locate an ICE detainee at this facility, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator at locator.ice.gov. You will need the detainee's A-Number, a nine-digit Alien Registration Number that appears on any immigration document they have received. If the A-Number has fewer than nine digits, add zeros at the beginning. If you do not have the A-Number, you can search using the detainee's full legal name, country of birth, and date of birth. Names must be an exact match; try variations if the first search returns no results.

Immigration bond works differently from criminal bail. Not all detainees are eligible for bond; those with certain criminal convictions or prior deportation orders may be subject to mandatory detention. For those who are eligible, bond is set by an immigration judge and typically ranges from $1,500 to over $10,000. Bond must be paid in full before release. An immigration attorney can request a bond hearing and argue for a lower amount based on the detainee's circumstances.

Unlike criminal defendants, ICE detainees do not have the right to a government-appointed attorney. They must hire a private immigration attorney or find free legal help through a nonprofit organization. RAICES provides legal services and bond assistance at raicestexas.org. The National Immigrant Justice Center offers free legal representation at immigrantjustice.org. Many immigration courts also maintain a list of free and low-cost legal service providers available to detainees upon request.

ICE transfers detainees between facilities frequently and with little advance notice, sometimes to locations far from family and legal counsel. If you cannot locate your family member through this page, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator again at locator.ice.gov with their A-Number. If they have an attorney, notify the attorney immediately as transfers affect court appearances and case timelines.

One of the most distinguishing features of the Grayson County Detention Center is the extent of its federal detention involvement compared to similarly sized rural Kentucky counties. The jail has become deeply integrated into federal detention infrastructure, particularly as ICE detention populations expanded throughout the Midwest and Southeast. Reports during 2026 showed the jail holding more than 150 ICE detainees while overall inmate populations significantly exceeded traditional county jail capacity levels. Jailer Jason Woosley has publicly defended the federal detention partnerships as financially critical to maintaining detention operations and staffing while avoiding increased tax burdens on county residents.

The detention center has also gained statewide prominence because of Jason Woosley’s leadership role within Kentucky jail administration circles. Woosley currently serves on the Kentucky Jailers Association Board of Directors and has consistently advocated for strong collaboration between local jails and federal law enforcement agencies. The facility itself incorporates modern detention technology including digital inmate management systems, electronic surveillance infrastructure, video visitation services, and expanded healthcare operations supporting both local inmates and federal detainees. Unlike many older county jails in Kentucky, Grayson County operates as a multi-building detention network capable of handling long-term detention contracts alongside local criminal incarceration responsibilities.

Like many county detention centers participating in ICE contracts, the Grayson County Detention Center has also become part of broader national debates involving immigration detention, jail overcrowding, staffing shortages, and detainee rights. Advocacy groups and immigration attorneys have criticized the growing use of county jails to house immigration detainees far from family members, immigration courts, and legal resources. County officials, however, continue emphasizing the facility’s role as a secure regional detention hub supporting local, state, and federal public safety operations simultaneously. Despite ongoing political controversy surrounding immigration detention partnerships, the Grayson County Detention Center remains one of Kentucky’s most active county-operated federal detention facilities and continues serving as a key component of the DHS immigration detention network.

Individuals who do not post bail within the first twenty-four hours are required to appear before a judge. During this first appearance, conducted either in person or via telephone, the judge informs the arrested person of the charges against them and sets the bond amount.

Following the intake process, which includes property inventory, medical screening, and booking, inmates are assigned to the general population. Housing assignments are based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, to ensure proper management and safety within the facility.

After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.

The jail is designed with "pods," featuring a large common area with affixed tables and attached seats, and individual cells typically on two levels. Inmates spend certain times in their cells and other times congregating in the pod for activities like playing cards, games, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, occurs under the constant supervision of unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is considered less stressful than that of a prison because the sentences are much shorter.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items, including USPS stamps and writing materials.

Inmate workers are selected for community service programs based on their demonstrated good conduct, cooperation with facility staff, and adherence to institutional rules. These criteria ensure that only individuals who exhibit responsibility, reliability, and a commitment to positive behavior are allowed to participate. Participation in these programs not only benefits the community through valuable labor contributions but also offers inmates the chance to develop a strong work ethic, learn transferable job skills, and build a sense of accountability.
