| The Henderson County Detention Center was constructed in 1996 with an original capacity for 250 inmates. Due to the ever changing incarceration rate the facility built a new wing in 2004. Currently, the average daily population is around 534 county, federal, and state inmates. The Henderson County Detention Center(HCDC) is a full service jail facility. HCDC will be under construction soon and adding an additional 100 beds. The classification of these inmates, range from simple violations to violent felony offenses. While it takes millions of dollars to operate a jail, the Henderson County Detention Center is one of only three county jails in the state of Kentucky that is self-sufficient, costing ZERO county tax payer dollars to operate. |
