NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

In recent days, the Henderson County Detention Center has received several calls from family members of inmates currently housed here.  They are advising the detention center that they have been contacted by individuals posing as correctional / law enforcement officials.  They are instructing the family members that the incarcerated person has a bond and can be released if they are willing to follow the instructions of the person or persons making contact with them.  These callers may have accurate information regarding the inmate’s status, and have been successful in contacting close family members who are seeking information regarding the appropriate steps one would take to post bond and get their family member released from jail.  The Henderson County Detention Center would like to remind the public that the only form of payment for bonds in Henderson County is cash.  Anyone wishing to post bond must do so in person, at either the Henderson County Detention Center located at 380 Borax Drive, or the Henderson Circuit Court Clerk’s Office, located at 5 North Main Street in Henderson, KY.  Neither the circuit court clerk’s office nor the detention center will ever reach out to family members requesting that bonds or any part of a bond be posted online, over the phone, or in any other form.  If you would like information regarding bonds and bonding procedures, you may contact the Henderson County Detention Center at 270-827-5560. Bonds are also accepted at the Henderson County Clerk’s Office during normal business hours. 
For additional information, they can be contacted at 270-826-2405.
